Synonymous
with metaphysical poetry, John Donne combined wit with passion, startling
diction with curious contrasts. This program chronicles his extraordinary
life as lawyer, lover, sailor, father, preacher, and poet. Manuscripts and
paintings are combined with readings from many of Donne’s most famous
writings, including “The Flea,” “Elegy XX,” “A Valediction: Forbidding
Mourning,” “The Calm,” “Progress of the Soul,” “Holy Sonnet XVII,”
“Meditation XVII,” and “Hymn to God, My God, in My Sickness.” (20 minutes)
The DVD version can be viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive.
