Reviews

John Donne and the Protestant Reformation is timely, richly varied, and always learned. The book includes an impressive gathering of internationally known scholars who, reading Donne's life, poetry, sermons, and prose, enable us to better understand both the vexing features of religious controversy in the early modern era and Donne's particular relationship to it."-- "Paul A. Parrish"

Mary Papazian has assembled a collection that has a forceful overarching perspective: these essays will prompt us to explore the astonishing fact that, in his maturity, Donne entered the public sphere by attuning his richly skeptical and fertile mind to the resources made available within early Protestantism."-- "Dayton Haskin"

This collection of essays might be seen as a landmark in Donne studies. In many respects-argument, contributors, methodology-it sums up the dominant revisionist trends in Donne scholarship over the past fifteen years."-- "Modern Philology"

This very substantial, scrupulously edited, and attractively produced volume includes thirteen essays by several hands-thirteen ways of visiting John Donne (1572-1631), his religious faith and work. This volume eminently succeeds in fulfilling its purpose.-- "Christianity and Literature"
