His poetry is noted for its vibrancy of language and immediacy of metaphor, compared with that of his contemporaries. Donne came from a loyal Roman Catholic family, and so he experienced persecution until his conversion to the Anglican Church . Despite his great education and poetic talents, he lived in poverty for several years, relying heavily on wealthy friends. In 1615 he became an Anglican priest and in Dean of St Paul's .

His poetry is noted for its ingenious fusion of wit and seriousness and represents a shift from classical models toward a more personal style. Donne was born in London to a prominent Roman Catholic family but converted to Anglicanism during the 1590s. At the age of 11 he entered the University of Oxford, where he studied for three years. According to some accounts, he spent the next three years at the University of Cambridge but took no degree at either university. He began the study of law at Lincoln's Inn, London, in 1592, and he seemed destined for a legal or diplomatic career. In 1596, Donne joined the naval expedition that Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, led against Cádiz, Spain. On his return to England, Donne was appointed private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton, Keeper of the Great Seal, in 1598. Donne's secret marriage in 1601 to Egerton's niece, Anne More, resulted in his dismissal from this position and in a brief imprisonment. The poet, in a characteristic pun, later summed up the experience: "John Donne, Anne Donne, Undone."

It was one of the few to survive the Great Fire of London (1666). However, faint traces of scorching can be seen on the urn beneath. In 1601 Donne secretly married Ann More, the neice of Lady Egerton, and as a result lost his position as private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton. He also lost his seat as MP for Brackley and was briefly imprisoned. For the next 14 years Donne struggled to find a public role for himself. However, in 1615 he entered the church and in 1621 he was made Dean of St. Paul's by King James, but ill health forced him to leave this post in 1623. One year later he recovered sufficiently to became the vicar of St.Dunstan's-in-the-West, Fleet Street.

John Donne was born in London, England in 1572. He is considered as one of the most famous metaphysical poets in the English language and is also noted for his famous sermons. He was educated at Oxford and Cambridge and the age of 24 served as secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton. He served on the council of Egerton until 1601 when he was imprisoned for his secret marriage to Anne More, the cousin of Egerton. Following his imprisonment, John Donne struggled to survive until he joined the Anglican church in 1615, where he became chaplain to James I. In 1621, John Donne was named as the dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. While at St. Paul's Cathedral, he preached and wrote many of his works until his death in 1624. John Donne's poetry consisted of both secular and religious topics. The early secular poetry was attributed to the young flamboyant Jack Donne and until he gained religious maturity wrote many steamy and sexy poems. Then Jack Donne changed and began writing religious poetry, where he assumed the name Dr. John Donne. Although the subjects of his poetry had changed, the metaphysical writing style of John Donne had not been altered. The young Jack Donne often paralleled his passionate love affairs with the religion of the church, but interestingly enough when he began writing his religious poems, he began comparing it to sex.

Donne's principal literary accomplishments during this period were Divine Poems (1607) and the prose work Biathanatos (c. 1608, posthumously published 1644), a half-serious extenuation of suicides, in which he argued that suicide is not intrinsically sinful. Donne became a priest of the Anglican Church in 1615 and was appointed royal chaplain later that year. In 1621 he was named dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. He attained eminence as a preacher, delivering sermons that are regarded as the most brilliant and eloquent of his time.

16. John Donne The Incompetech website s somewhat satirical take on donne. http://incompetech.com/authors/donne/

the website with the self-referential tagline... 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

17. John Donne, Meditation XVII: No Man Is An Island john donne. Meditation XVII No man is an island All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the http://isu.indstate.edu/ilnprof/ENG451/ISLAND/index.html

John Donne Meditation XVII : No man is an island... "All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." This famous meditation of Donne's puts forth two essential ideas which are representative of the Renaissance era in which it was written: The idea that people are not isolated from one another, but that mankind is interconnected; and The vivid awareness of mortality that seems a natural outgrowth of a time when death was the constant companion of life. Donne brings these two themes together to affirm that any one man's death diminishes all of mankind, since all mankind is connected; yet that death itself is not so much to be feared as it at first seems. Join us in exploring these two main themes, which we have associated with the two controlling images of the meditation...the island and the bell Isolation: The Island No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind...
