Thesis / Dissertation Description

John Donne, seventeenth century writer, has always enjoyed a certain following as a literary man. He is appreciated now for his poetic genius, but in his day, he was better known as the author of sermons and religious arguments. Donne’s reputation as a poet and a preacher was in eclipse for many years, until revived in the past few decades by students who saw his real genius as a poet. Perhaps one reason Donne was neglected in the past is that he is such a difficult man to understand. Even today the average reader is apt to accept him as presented in most anthologies – a brilliant, difficult, and inconsistent poet.
