Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne Volume 7.1

<p>Praise for previous volumes: <br />This variorum edition will be the basis of all future Donne scholarship. --<i>Chronique</i><br /><br />This is the 4th volume of The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne to appear. This volume presents a newly edited critical text of the Holy Sonnets and a comprehensive digest of the critical-scholarly commentary on them from Donne's time through 1995. The editors identify and print both an earlier and a revised authorial sequence of sonnets as well as presenting the scribal collection--which contains unique authorial versions of several of the sonnets--inscribed by Donne's friend Rowland Woodward in the Westmoreland manuscript.</p>
