Metamorphosing from scholar to buccaneer, from outcast to establishment figure, John Donne emerged as one of the greatest English poets, concentrating the paradoxes of his age within his own crises of desire and devotion. Following Donne from plague-ridden streets to palaces, from the taverns on the Bankside to the pulpit of St. Paul's, John Stubbs's biography is a vivid portrait of an extraordinary writer and his country at a time of bewildering and cruel transformation.--From publisher description.A portrait of the life and work of the English poet places his achievements against a backdrop of a rapidly transforming world and offers insight into how his writings reflect such subjects as his crises of desire and devotion, and the outbreak of plague.
