The Songs and Sonets of John Donne

There is perhaps no superior edition of Donnes Songs and Sonets than Theodore Redpaths wonderful annotated volume. Out of print for a decade, the book is reprinted here in its second, revised edition. The books twofold origin is evident on every page of Redpaths limpid commentary: it arises partly out of a life of scholarship and partly from Redpaths experiences and concerns as a teacher. The volume contains notes on every point likely to cause difficulty to a reader of average intelligence.
