Product Description
Product Description
John Donne's poetry is provocatively illuminated in this new collection of essays. The recently influential critical methods of historicism, feminism, psychoanalysis and deconstruction are variously employed to explore Donne's ambivalent relationship to language, women, love, self, God and society. New critical approaches do not dominate the volume, however. Older forms of criticism are also represented, so that the old and the new may illuminate and interrogate each other. The introduction explicitly foregrounds some of the key differences and continuities between old and new versions of literary criticism, exploring the ideas and assumptions underlying each and offering insights into Donne in relation to them.

I like these New Casebooks as they bring together theoretical approaches with close reading of the texts, and apply their methodologies with admirable self-awareness. Here the collection of essays approach Donne via psychoanalytical theory, feminism, gender theory, new historicism and poststructuralism. There are some 'tried and tested' pieces here such as Guibbory's much-cited 'O Let me not serve so' on the interraction between erotic and political servitude, especially during the reign of Elizabeth, as well as more diffuse essays such as Belsey's which takes a poststructuralist approach towards the images of discovery and mapping which appear again and again throughout Donne's poetry.
This is ideal for undergraduates and 6th form students, and paves the way for more advanced ways of thinking about poetry.
