Customer Reviews

superb poetry expertly read

Without a good grounding in the life of his times, Donne can be a bit of a puzzle to the casual reader. Luckily, this excellent recording of a broad selection of his oeuvre includes not only superb readings by a fine team of British actor-readers, but also commentary about the poet's life. Particular favourites: The Flea and To His Mistris... Really beautifully done (if you'll forgive the pun).

A Good Read

I thorougly enjoy reading his poetry. I highly recommend this book to poetry lovers.

Donne's best works in one book... Too good to pass up...

John Donne's is without a doubt, the best metaphysical writer of the rennaissance and this book captures just that... his greatest works such as "a broken heart" and "the good morrow" can be found here... a great book for someone just starting out with donne...
