Centering on cross-fertilization between the writings of Shakespeare and Donne, the essays in this volume examine relationships that are broadly cultural, theoretical, and imaginative. They emphasize the intersection of physical dimensions of experience with transcendent ones, whether moral, intellectual, or religious. They juxtapose lyric and sermons interactively with narrative and plays.The essays are grouped under four headings: "Time, Love, Sex, and Death" (Matthias Bauer and Angelika Zirker, Catherine Gimelli Martin, Jennifer Pacenza), "Moral, Public, and Spatial Imaginaries" (Mary Blackstone and Jeanne Shami, Douglas Trevor), "Names, Puns, and More" (Marshall Grossman, David Lee Miller, Julian Lamb), and "Realms of Privacy and Imagination" (Anita Gilman Sherman, Judith H. Anderson).

"Because of the compartmentalization of literary criticism, we have been largely blind to the many points of intellectual and artistic contact between the two greatest English love poets of the later sixteenth- and early seventeenth centuries, Shakespeare and Donne. This remarkable collection of highly original essays changes that. It also changes the field of English Renaissance studies." -- -Gordon Teskey Harvard University "By performing theorized, rigorously researched, intertextual study so consistently, chapter by chapter, with coherence across its parts (if not always overtly within them), Shakespeare and Donne: Generic Hybrids and the Cultural Imaginary is a model for how one might attempt such dialogues between other writers-how to place their works side by side in ways that illuminate the authors; the period(s) in which they are writing; the various genres, modes, and literary devices they employ; and the theoretical lenses that one might use to derive meaning from such a pairing." -Shakespeare Quarterly
