3.0 out of 5 stars Good poetry, mediocre edition, 4 Dec 2007

By	W.A. Holjenns "Franciscus Junius" (North West) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete English Poems (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)

The Poetry of John Donne - yes, yes, yes. I can't get enough of it.

Producing an edition of Donne is, however, a rather more difficult task than the platonist critic tends to believe; though first printed in 1633 (I think), these poem circulated widely in manuscript form before they were ever set in the press. Donne never saw his works printed - so how can we be sure of what is the most "authoritative text"? we can't, not really, and perhaps Randall McLeod's forthcoming edition of "On his Mistress Going to Bed" - a typeset version of the poem, plus 68 manuscript facsimiles - indicates this better than anything else.

Get Donne, but don't get this edition, which consistently favours the printed text, forcing the MS variations into the footnotes. I'm not sure what to reccomend in its place, unfortunately, but I imagine the Norton critical text wouldn't be too bad.

NB that I am referring to the AJ Smith edition of Donne's poetry, first published 1976.

5.0 out of 5 stars The beauty of English, 9 Jul 2009

By	Paul Underwood "undart" (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete English Poems (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)

Here we see the English language at its most beautiful exposing the many facets of love with courageous honesty and stunning insight. The human condition has never been better expressed and love has never had such a worthy exponent. For poetry lovers from Wordsworth to TS Eliot, Donne demonstrates how wonderful the English language is at expressing every nuance of our existence and what an amazing servant it can be in the right hands.
You will treasure this book and dip into it often throughout a variety of moods. It will never let you down nor cease to surprise.
