John Donne.pptx

Master John Donne was born in London, in the year 1573, of good and virtuous parents: and, though his own learning and other multiplied merits may justly appear sufficient to dignify both himself and his posterity; yet the reader may be pleased to know, that his father was masculinely and lineally descended from a very ancient family in Wales, where many of hAis name now live, that deserve, and have great reputation in that country.

John Donne as a Metaphysical Poet

Theological Librarianship, 2020

The Religion Around series from Penn State University Press explores the religious contexts surrounding writers, artists, and other "cultural icons." The work of some of the figures treated in this series, such as Virginia Woolf and Billie Holiday, contains little that is overtly religious. Not so for this recent entry on John Donne. Through his devotional poetry and his sermons, Donne's reputation is built on religion. In fact, Joshua Eckhardt, Associate Professor of English at Virginia Commonwealth University, points out that the religious themes and contexts of Donne's work have been exhaustively charted by literary and religious historians. Why then, is another volume on religion and John Donne called for, and how should it be approached?

The seventeenth-century poet and preacher, John Donne, made a public, confessional move from Roman Catholicism to Anglicanism early in his life-but a public oath of allegiance does not a faithful adherent make. For a man of Donne's sweeping intellect, to accept fully the faith he publicly endorsed, he had to accept the theologies and philosophies attached to Anglicanism. One theory that differs between Catholicism and Anglicanism is the concept of the person (i.e., what the roles of the body and soul are). In Donne's writings we witness an intellectual shift from a Catholic (Thomistic) understanding of the person to an Anglican 1 (Augustinian) concept of the person. By separating Donne's life into three periods: early (until 1607), middle (1608-1620), and late (1620-death), we see Donne at three distinct intellectual phases in his understanding of the person. The early period reveals Donne's use of a Thomistic concept of the person; the middle period shows Donne struggling to reconcile the incompatible Thomistic and Augustinian concepts of the person; and in the late period, Donne endorses the Augustinian concept of the person. The intellectual shift in Donne's understanding of the person is indicative of his confessional move from Roman Catholicism to Anglicanism.
