Whether sharing his anxieties about his writing, consoling bereaved friends, complaining about the meanness of a patron or defending himself against malicious gossip, John Donne reveals himself in his letters with a directness that can be found nowhere else in his writings. These letters corroborate the impression created by his better-known writings that he was one of the most remarkable figures produced by the English Renaissance and that he possessed an extraordinarily subtle and creative intelligence.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

John Donne

Nasce em Londres, em 1573, numa família católica. Estudou primeiro em Oxford, mais tarde em Cambridge. Em 1572 vem até aos Açores, na expedição do Conde de Essex. Secretário de Lord Egerton, apaixona-se e casa secretamente com a sobrinha deste, Anne More, em 1601. O pai dela manda-o prender. Com a carreira arruinada, o poeta vai desempenhando diversos cargos menores até aceitar ser ordenado padre, em 1615. Nesta altura renega toda a sua poesia profana. Seis anos mais tarde é nomeado Deão da Catedral de S. Paulo, posto que ocupa até à sua morte em 1631. No final da vida, a fama advém-lhe dos poemas metafísicos, mas principalmente dos sermões.
