Donne, John
Donne, John (1572–1631) English poet and cleric. Donne's
metaphysical poetry is among the greatest work in
English literature. His early poetry, mostly written in the 1590s, consists mainly of love poems, elegies and satires while later work, such as
An Anatomy of the World (1611) and
Of the Progress of the Soul (1612), became more philosophical. Donne's rejection of Catholicism and conversion to Anglicanism is evident in the prose-work
Pseudo-Martyr (1610). He was ordained in 1615 and became Dean (1621) of St Paul's Cathedral, London.
