From the introduction: John Donne enjoys the reputation of being one of the most passionate love poets in literature, but there are so many other observations which have to be made about him - as poet, courtier, lover, divine, husband and friend - that his whole life may be scanned as a divided pilgrimage. His career goes one way and his writing another. The one factor common to both is his passion, almost always pitched at the very edge of excess. The youthful lover and the sonorous Dean of St Paul's are both wooers. In his spirited twenties Donne wooed women: once ordained, he pursued God just as ardently. In between lay much bitter experience and real grief.
