Opis

This book examines some of Donne's figurations of the feminine in his lesser known poetry and prose, allowing a deeper appreciation of his rich and complex contribution. Using the cultural criticism of French feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray, Meakin shows how Donne's explorations of love, eroticism, friendship, and the divine in these sometimes startling works are as relevant to our time as to his own.

Recenzje

I want to applaud John Donne... for bringing feminist theory to bear on the study of Donne. Meakin is an informed and careful writer who is also trying something quite different... Fresh ideas about Donne and his young male friends and about Donne and Elizabeth Drury.
