Donne: The Reformed Soul.(Brief article)(Book review)
From: Biography
Date: 20070101
Author:Duncan-Jones, Katherine
Donne, John Donne: The Reformed Soul. John Stubbs. New York: Viking, 2006. 566 pp. 25 [pounds sterling].
" ... a substantial and lively account of Donne's life and times for new readers. ... Stubbs's great gift is for visual evocation and physical narrative.... He also writes marvelously of Donne's swashbuckling youth.... It is disappointing ... that his use of Donne's poems is literal-minded and simplistic."
Katherine Duncan-Jones. TLS, Sept. 22, 2006: 3-4.
