The book Dr. John Donne by Izaak Walton is a biographical account of the life and works of the famous English poet and cleric, John Donne. The book provides a detailed insight into the life of Donne, including his early years, his education at Oxford, his conversion to Christianity, and his eventual rise to prominence as a respected preacher and poet. The author, Izaak Walton, was a contemporary of Donne and a personal friend. As such, he was able to provide a unique perspective on Donne's life, drawing on personal anecdotes and experiences to paint a vivid picture of the man behind the poetry. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Donne's life and work. It covers his early years as a student, his travels to Europe, his time as a lawyer, and his eventual decision to enter the church. The book also explores Donne's relationships with his family, friends, and colleagues, as well as his struggles with illness and personal tragedy. Throughout the book, Walton provides excerpts from Donne's poetry and sermons, offering readers a glimpse into his literary genius and spiritual insight. The book is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of England's greatest poets and theologians, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and works of John Donne.THIS 64 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Lives of Donne, Wotton, Hooker, Herbert and Sanderson, by Izaak Walton.
