Abstract:
This book examines some of Donne's figurations of the feminine in his lesser known poetry and prose, allowing a deeper appreciation of his contribution to Renaissance literature. Using the criticism of feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray, Meakin shows how Donne's explorations of love, eroticism, friendship and the divine are still relevant today.
