Overview

Classified as ‘metaphysical’, John Donne’s poetry is noted for its unusual use of imagery and language. Donne (1572 -1631) wrote about life, love, death and spiritually.  In this two-week course we will look at a selection of his poetry. Discussion will be encouraged.

This is a repeat of the February 2021 course.
