An Outstanding Introduction
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

I was introduced to Donne's poetry as an undergraduate and have always wanted to continue that interest. The essays in The Cambridge Companion to John Donne address general topics--his life, his poetry (erotic, satirical, devotional) and prose as well as various historical and cultural contexts--and do so with illustrations drawn from his work. As a point of entry, the Cambridge Companion is fascinating, approachable and insightful (e.g., Bell's essay on the women in Donne's poetry and Marotti's on the social context of his writing. Outstanding from cover to cover.

El libro me ha llegado con la tapa doblada por haberlo metido en un sobre demasiado grande. Para el precio que vale un libro así y recibirlo en este estado es una pena

An excellent overview
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 28, 2007

The Cambridge Companions series really is a godsend to anyone looking for a well edited, thorough, and yet also manageable guide to an author's output, and this Companion to John Donne is as good as any I have used to date. The 16 essays cover all the ground one would expect of a volume such as this, including a useful biography, and thematic overviews of the main areas of his writing. The quality of the contributors is very high indeed (only Judith Sherer Herz, in her postmodern take on "Reading and rereading Donne's poetry", allows herself to slip into the jargon (and consequent sloppiness of thought) of Lit.Crit.

There are, however, some gems on offer here, and the book is worth the purchase alone for A.S. Byatt's wonderful meditation on Donne which concludes the volume. Somehow it seems right that the final word on a great poet should be given to a writer of great sensitivity and thoughtfulness, rather than an English Professor with a sharpened pen and a department to run.

This is clearly aimed at undergraduates and above: if you are doing Donne for your A-levels then I suggest the York Notes volume would suit you better, but for anyone studying or teaching the great man, this is an indispensable starting point for reflection and research.
