Abstract:
AbstractThough historians of religion have demonstrated that the theological commitments of early modern English people were labile and complex, there was nonetheless a prevailing sense in the period that belief posited bodily consequences. This article considers this bodily presence in John Donne’s poetry by exploring the humoral construction of religious identity in his Holy Sonnets. Donne’s conversion provided him with an unusual perspective: not many people were positioned to hold as nuanced a view of religious ideology. It is surprising, then, that when Donne considers his conversion — which he does in little and large in the Holy Sonnets — he casts it in somatic terms. Donne’s humoral constitution of faith in the Holy Sonnets anatomizes the vexed transactions of body and soul particular to late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century thought. He depicts his body in the same terms that he uses to represent his religious temperament — as changeable and lacking integrity.

Abstract:
Abstract In his Holy Sonnets, the English Renaissance poet and divine John Donne (1572–1631) gives voice to powerful emotional outbursts. Previous critics have mostly been concerned with the religious context and theological positions of the sonnets. This study rather attempts to isolate the psychological context of the poems by relating them to the early modern discourse on the passions. In order to grasp the pathos of Donne's Holy Sonnets, we need to consider the advice on how to handle violent emotion in such treatises as Thomas Wright's The Passions of the Minde in Generall (1604) and Edward Reynolds's A Treatise of the Passions and Faculties of the Soule of Man (1640).

Abstract:
In her admirable study of autobiography, Janet Varner Gunn argued that the religious significance of the form “lies not in its literary function but in its anthropology,” that is, in its role in articulating and creating human experience. She also stated that much literary discussion of autobiography serves to conceal its “strangeness” and “unruly behavior.”

Abstract:
Mark Jarman’s Unholy Sonnets work in dichotomies, drawing on both Renaissance and Modern poetics; biblical texts with complex approaches to faith, especially the books of Job and Ecclesiastes; strict form and formal experimentation. A close examination of the contradictory impulses in Jarman’s work illustrates his unique connection to John Donne, whose Holy Sonnets engage with a silent God. Jarman extends this tradition into modernity, identifying, through subtle wordplay, allusion, and religious tradition, the deficiencies of human language and the difficult but worthwhile endeavor of searching for, and occasionally finding, communion with God.

Chong, Kenneth Tze Aun School of English UNSW. "Donne???s Holy Sonnets and Calvin." Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of English, 2006. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/26154.

Full text
Abstract:
Criticism on Donne???s Holy Sonnets has traditionally been concerned with trying to find an explanation for the doubt, anxiety, and despair that is often expressed by the speaker of those poems. In recent decades, critics have increasingly made recourse to Calvinist theology in an effort to explain these melancholy states of mind. The accounts that such critics provide of ???Calvinism,??? however, have been varied and largely inadequate, mainly because they fail to engage with Calvin???s work at the level it requires. My thesis seeks to correct such deficiencies by providing a detailed reading of Calvin???s view on salvation and the way in which it is received. Calvin argues that we obtain salvation through a firm and certain faith, a faith that is nevertheless attacked by the unbelief that still resides in the believer. In other words, there is a division between the flesh and the spirit within the soul of the believer, which means that he or she is never free (until death) from the sinful temptations of this life. This division, which Calvin invokes to reconcile the uncertainties of the Christian life with the assurance of faith, is dramatised in the Holy Sonnets. In the five poems that I analyse, the speaker is torn between a desire for righteousness and an inclination toward evil, a division that is also represented in the structural qualities of the text. The various temptations which the speaker registers and confronts (and often falls to) are, I believe, a demonstration of Calvin???s view that the regenerate person is in continuous warfare against the remnants of the flesh.

This study examines two important influences that shape John Donne's "Holy Sonnets": The Ignatian meditative tradition and the devotional tradition of the psalm genre. It argues that their confluence in his sonnets gives rise to unique rhetorical structures and strategies that reflect the doctrinal uncertainties of his age.

Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between sonnet form and musical form in Benjamin Britten's sonnet cycles with a view toward identifying the musico-poetic form how the musical form interprets the poetry. Several issues come to the fore: 1) articulation of the large-scale divisions of the poetic form in the music; 2) potential of the musical setting to make connections between lines of the text ; 3) potential of the musical setting to follow or imitate the thought processes of the poem; and 4) placement of the departure and return.

Abstract:
A reexamination of John Donne's Holy Sonnet “Batter my heart,” especially one looking at the sonnet's relationship to Early Modern rhetoric, is long overdue. In this paper, I hope to show that a focus on Donne's relationship to Early Modern rhetoric yields several useful new insights. I argue specifically that Donne was probably exposed to Non-Ramist rhetorical methods and theory at many points in his education, from his childhood to his college years to his years at the Inns of Court. Furthermore, Non-Ramist rhetoric has moral implications, suggesting that aspects of an author's feelings, character, and desires can be analyzed by looking at the writer's rhetorical choices in relation to a specific audience in a specific situation. After discussing Donne's rhetorical education, I will look at how the rhetorical decisions of the poetic speaker in Donne's “Batter my heart” reveal his opinions of God and develop his attitudes toward God over the course of the poem. Indeed, the poetic speaker uses rhetoric that exerts power back on him, causing him to change: whereas at the beginning of the poem the poetic speaker thinks he controls his relationship with God, at the end he sees himself as God's humble subject. Ultimately, the poetic speaker's feelings of utter separation from God at the end of the poem actually yield a sense that he has found God and has gained a sense of awe surrounding the Divine.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 argues that Donne uses the sonnet to experiment formally with the self-annihilation required for the performance of God’s violent will. Fanaticism reveals to Donne that poetic making itself may prepare for, but also necessarily postpones, the self-loss required for violent martyrdom. A new reading of two Holy Sonnets demonstrates that Donne, typically thought of as vigorously dismissive of such sacrifice, developed a sophisticated theory of passive martyrdom free from any human will. This theory of the human transformed into divine organ underwrote his analysis of Samson and violent actions undertaken against a state in his Pseudo-Martyr and Biathanatos even as it protected against the possibility that such actions might be imitated. What Donne called “passive action” defines the paradox of Samson’s inimitable fanaticism, an insight that Milton inherits in his own engagement with Samson.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter offers a reading of Joachim du Bellay's L'Olive alongside his prose manifesto, La Deffence et illustration de la langue françoyse. L'Olive's martial and technological imagery and its references to empire and conquest are highly suggestive of the conflicts between France and the Holy Roman Empire that played out on battlefields in Italy over the first half of the sixteenth century. However, the amplified violence of the period in which Du Bellay's sonnet sequence appeared cannot fully account for its rampant imagery of violence and vulnerability, nor fully express its complex political engagements. This chapter examines how Du Bellay's sonnet sequence utilized abjection to counter figured subjection, thus accomplishing what his manifesto only advocated: through imitation, the countersovereign conquest and appropriation of Italian cultural preeminence and the translation of empire from Rome to France.

Abstract:
Part of living at a distance has meant relying on a stream. Today alone, so much information has streamed into my home from so many sources on so many devices I would have trouble accounting for all of it. While my daughter streamed her class session upstairs, a selection of music I would be likely to enjoy streamed on my phone, and my son streamed a movie from one of the services to which I hastily (and regrettably) subscribed when the pandemic began. We streamed a bedtime story read remotely by Dolly Parton, a Shakespearian sonnet read by Patrick Stewart, and a silent film playing on the wall of a New York City apartment. Unlike the tsunami of my emotional state for the past few months, these streams have been rather comforting. But how does the metaphor of the stream hold up to the discourses and dangers of ventriloquism we have been addressing throughout this collection?...
