Description or summary of the audiobook: The texts reprinted in this new Norton Critical Edition have been scrupulously edited and are from the Westmoreland manuscript where possible, collated against the most important families of Donne manuscripts-the Cambridge Belam, the Dublin Trinity, and the O'Flahertie-and compared with all seven seventeenth-century printed editions of the poems as well as all major twentieth-century editions. 'Criticism' is divided into four sections and represents the best criticism and interpretation of Donne's writing: 'Donne and Metaphysical Poetry' includes seven seventeenth-century views by contemporaries of Donne such as Ben Jonson, Thomas Carew, and John Dryden, among others; 'Satires, Elegies, and Verse Letters' includes seven selections that offer social and literary context for and insights into Donne's frequently overlooked early poems; 'Songs and Sonnets' features six analyses of Donne's love poetry; and 'Holy Sonnets/Divine Poems' explores Donne's struggles as a Christian through four authoritative essays. A Chronology of Donne's life and work, a Selected Bibliography, and an Index of Titles and First Lines are also included.
