Review by Library Journal Review
It is always delightful to read and reread Donne, in his profane or spiritual aspect. Editor Carrigan has assembled a brief anthology of Donne's more familiar religious poems and a smattering of the religious prose of the man who was said to have been the best homilist of his time. It seems presumptuous for the editor to have "modernized" Donne by replacing "thou" forms with "you" forms or inverting his sentence order and thus blurring Donne's distinctive rhythmsÄbut if this step brings more readers to the original texts of Donne's profundities, so much the better. For most collections. [Carrigan is a longtime LJ reviewer who once wrote this column.ÄEd.] (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
