On Death

Viac o knihe

Focusing on mortality, John Donne's meditations explore profound themes of death through his powerful sermons. "Death's Duel" stands out among his dramatic writings, complemented by Lent sermons from 1628 and 1629, as well as an Easter Day sermon from 1619, delivered during the King's illness. Collectively, these works provide a compelling insight into the early 17th-century perspectives on death, showcasing Donne's dual talents as a poet and preacher.
