About This Item
-D S Brewer, 2003-. First edition. Studies in Renaissance Literature. xiii+272 pages with index. Cloth. Fine. No dustjacket required for this library edition. During his life, John Donne occupied a range of professional positions, in all of which he produced writings considered by his contemporaries to be worthy of interest, collection and annotation. Donne's lifetime also coincided with the period during which the notion of the profession became increasingly significant. This volume makes a strong argument for the importance of Donne's professional writings to our understanding of his oeuvre and of the culture of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. Studying in depth his remarkable use of a wide range of terms and even whole vocabularies - legal, theological, and medical, among others - it shows how Donne moulded his identity as a professional intellectual with the languages that were at hand. A tightly focussed series of essays by scholars of international reputation and younger experts in the field, "John Donne's Professional Lives" contains new discoveries and fresh interpretations. It offers a revisionist interpretation of Donne's career and makes a polemical case for studying the full range of his writings. The contributors include: James Cannon, David Cunnington, Louis A. Knafla, Peter Mccullough, Jessica Martin, Jeremy Maule, Mary Morrissey, Stephen Pender, Jeanne Shami, Alison Shell, and Johann P. Sommerville. David Colclough is a lecturer at Queen Mary, University of London. John Donne's Professional Lives (Studies in Renaissance Literature) bxd 0859917754
