{"product_id":"9781857545616","title":"John Donne: Selected Letters","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhether sharing his anxieties about writing, consoling bereaved friends, complaining about the meanness of a patron, or defending himself against malicious gossip, John Donne reveals himself in these letters with a directness that can be found nowhere else in his writings. The 95 included letters, dating from the late 1590s until a short time before Donne's death, constitute approximately half of his surviving correspondence and are addressed to a variety of recipients, revealing his role as not only a poet but as a father, son, husband, friend, suitor, courtier, and pastor. Although what the letters reveal is far from edifying, they corroborate the impression created by Donne's better-known writings that he was one of the most remarkable figures the English Renaissance produced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Press, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032911626480,"sku":"9781857545616","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781857545616_p0.jpg?v=1763599399","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781857545616","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
