John Donne His Flight from Mediaevalism

by Michael Francis Moloney

""John Donne His Flight From Mediaevalism"" is a literary analysis of the works of John Donne, a prominent English poet and cleric of the 16th and 17th centuries. Written by Michael Francis Moloney, the book explores Donne's departure from the medieval literary tradition that dominated his early work and the emergence of his distinctive poetic voice. Moloney examines Donne's use of language, imagery, and themes, and argues that his poetry reflects a shift in cultural attitudes towards individualism, secularism, and scientific inquiry. The book also provides historical context for Donne's life and work, including his religious and political affiliations, and explores the influence of his contemporaries and predecessors. Overall, ""John Donne His Flight From Mediaevalism"" offers a nuanced and insightful perspective on one of the most important figures in English literature.Illinois Studies In Language And Literature V29, No. 2-3.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
