Skabrösa Elegier Och Heliga Sonetter
Vid sidan av Shakespeare är John Donne den mest levande och läste författaren från de engelska 1500- och 1600-talen. Han var kvinnotjusaren som blev domprost, poeten som skrev uppsluppna erotiska skrönor och mot slutet av sitt liv befann sig i närmast desperat brottningskamp med Gud - utan att för den skull hettan i hans bildspråk falnat. Och egentligen fanns under de skiftande stilarna en dröm om enhet. John Donne får nu tack vare översättaren Gunnar Harding långt om länge den storstilade introduktion på svenska han är värd.

John Donne: Collected Poetry
Regarded by many as the greatest of the Metaphysical poets, John Donne (1572-1631) was also among the most intriguing figures of the Elizabethan age. A sensualist who composed erotic and playful love poetry in his youth, he was raised a Catholic but later became one of the most admired Protestant preachers of his time. The Collected Poetry reflects this wide diversity, and includes his youthful songs and sonnets, epigrams, elegies, letters, satires, and the profoundly moving Divine Poems composed towards the end of his life. From joyful poems such as 'The Flea', which transforms the image of a louse into something marvellous, to the intimate and intense Holy Sonnets, Donne breathed new vigour into poetry by drawing lucid and often startling metaphors from the world in which he lived. His poems remain among the most passionate, profound and spiritual in the English language.
