John Heywood , epigrammatist, and a relative of Sir Thomas More University of Oxford , where Donne studied for three years. He spent the next three years at the University of Cambridge , but took no degree at either university because he would not take the Oath of Supremacy required at graduation. He was admitted to study law as a member of Thavies Inn (1591) and Lincoln's Inn (1592), and it seemed natural that Donne should embark upon a legal or diplomatic career. Satires , written during this period of residence in London, is considered one of Donne's most important literary efforts. Although not immediately published, the volume had a fairly wide readership through private circulation of the manuscript. Same was the case with his love poems, Songs and Sonnets , assumed to be written at about the same time as the Satires. Ben Jonson who was part of Brooke's circle of literary associates. In 1596, Donne joined the naval expedition that Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex , led against Cádiz, Spain, and the following year joined an expedition to the Azores, where he wrote "The Calm". Upon his return to England in 1598, Donne was appointed private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, afterward Lord Ellesmere. Queen Elizabeth's last Parliament, for Brackley. But in 1601, he secretly married Lady Egerton's niece, seventeen-year-old

Add to a Notebook John Donne John Donne was born in 1572 in London, England. He is known as the founder of the Metaphysical Poets, a term created by Samuel Johnson, an eighteenth-century English essayist, poet, and philosopher. The loosely associated group also includes George Herbert , Richard Crashaw, Andrew Marvell , and John Cleveland. The Metaphysical Poets are known for their ability to startle the reader and coax new perspective through paradoxical images, subtle argument, inventive syntax, and imagery from art, philosophy, and religion using an extended metaphor known as a conceit. Donne reached beyond the rational and hierarchical structures of the seventeenth century with his exacting and ingenious conceits, advancing the exploratory spirit of his time. Donne entered the world during a period of theological and political unrest for both England and France; a Protestant massacre occurred on Saint Bartholomew's day in France; while in England, the Catholics were the persecuted minority. Born into a Roman Catholic family, Donne's personal relationship with religion was tumultuous and passionate, and at the center of much of his poetry. He studied at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities in his early teen years. He did not take a degree at either school, because to do so would have meant subscribing to the Thirty-nine Articles, the doctrine that defined Anglicanism. At age twenty he studied law at Lincoln's Inn. Two years later he succumbed to religious pressure and joined the Anglican Church after his younger brother, convicted for his Catholic loyalties, died in prison. Donne wrote most of his love lyrics, erotic verse, and some sacred poems in the 1590's, creating two major volumes of work:

Literature Music Visual Arts Other Google Incompetech John "Un-" Donne First of all, I must admit that I don't much care for John's poems. But he's important to knowafter all, he was the leader, so to speak, of the metaphysical school of poetry and by all accounts, a nice guy. He was described as a very charming and companionable person, even if he was raised Catholic . Though he attended the very prestigious universities of Oxford and Cambridge , he was unable to take a degree either place because his family objected on religious grounds to the oath of allegiance all graduates had to take. Undaunted, John began to study law in 1592, in hopes of landing a state job, or perhaps even a court position . He also frittered away some of his time messing about with some poetry. His introduction into the fast lane was rather slow in coming . It wasn't until 1597 that he finally got any kind of a job, and that was working as secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton. Sir Thomas was a great and impressive statesman, being Lord Keeper of the Great Seal and a real mover and shaker of the times . So naturally, if you were his secretary, eloping with his niece would be a bad thing to do. Unfortunately, our hero did just that, running off with and marrying Anne More, daughter of Sir George More and niece of Sir Thomas' second wife. To make matters worse, Anne was underage, so her irate father promptly had John arrested for marrying a minor without the consent of her guardians

Leseprobe aus John Donne, Zwar ist auch Dichtung Sünde Verlag Philipp Reclam jun., Leipzig 1982 u. 1985 19 . Elegie Auf das Zubettgehen seiner Dame Komm, Freundin, meine Kräfte spornt die Ruhe. Mich treibt es sehr zur Tat, bis ich es tue. Wer lang dem Feinde gegenübersteht, Wird müd vom Stehn, eh es ans Kämpfen geht. Fort mit dem Gürtel, der wie Himmel glänzt, Doch schöner ist die Welt, die er begrenzt. Leg ab die Brustwehr, die dir freilich nützt, Indem sie dich vor dreisten Blicken schützt. Bind auf die Bänder, und dein Kleid verrät Mir raschelnd: meine Liebste geht zu Bett. Das Mieder fort, das ich beneiden muß; Daß es dir nahesteht, macht mir Verdruß. Und fällt dein Staat, ist erst ein Staat zu sehn, Wie wenn die Nebel von den Wiesen gehn. Fort mit der festgeflochtnen Krone! Zähm Es länger nicht, von Haar das Diadem. Die Schuh nun fort, und schreite sicher aus. Tritt ein ins Bett, der Liebe heiliges Haus. So weiße Roben trugen Engel einst, Wenn sie zu Menschen gingen. Du erscheinst Als Cherub aus des Orients Paradies.
