John Donne Knihy

Výbor z díla alžbětinského básníka Johna Donna v překladu Zdeňka Hrona.

Výbor z veršů anglického básníka, Shakespearova současníka, nejprve světácky žijícího intelektuála, později anglikánského kněze. V „Písních a sonetech“, zahrnujících milostnou poezii jeví se básník jako zvěstovatel nového stylu; v rozporu s přežívající tradicí Petrarkovou uplatňuje reálný pohled na ženu. V „Elegiích“ se zabývá milostnou poezií na pozadí častých citátů z Ovidia. „Svaté sonety“ zahrnují básně náboženské.
