New Pleasures Prove: Evidence of Dialectical Disputatio in Early Modern Manuscript Culture Margaret Downs-Gamble Virginia Tech margaret@vt.edu Downs-Gamble, Margaret. "New Pleasures Prove: Evidence of Dialectical Disputatio in Early Modern Manuscript Culture." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/02-2/downdonn.html Thomas Fuller first related the legend that Sir Walter Ralegh used a diamond to etch the words, "Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall," on a window pane at Court where Elizabeth I could not fail to see them. As the story goes, the Queen answered Ralegh in rhyme with the corrective "If thy heart fails thee, climb not at all" (Fuller 261). More than a telling vignette of the insecurities of Court life, the narrative of this verse exchange serves to foreground the dialogic nature of poetic practice in the Renaissance. Because dialogue is in some sense circumscribed by the immediacy with which an exchange can occur, it should not be surprising that the flowering of dialogic verse occurred within a manuscript culture. But manuscript transmission alone does not account for the variety of practices evinced by early modern manuscripts. The forms of their communicative acts were determined by Renaissance emphases on rhetoric and dialectic. However ritualized the practice may appear, and however stylized, poetry served a primarily communicative function. Wilber Samuel Howell insists that "Englishmen of these two centuries did not waste their time in the vain effort to deny poetry a primarily communicative function"; it was "considered to be the third great form of communication, open and popular but not fully explained by rhetoric, concise and lean but not fully explained by logic," instead containing "both characteristics at once" (Howell 4).

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Donne, John (1572-1631) John Donne ranks among the greatest poets in English literature. Founder of the so-called Metaphysical school, he helped revolutionize English poetry in the late sixteenth-century by creating an intellectual, tough-minded verse characterized by "strong lines," colloquial language, natural rhythms, and surprising conceits. In Donne's poetry, an eccentric and often egocentric sensibility is explored and expressed in a unique voice and often in extreme terms. Donne's canon is large, comprising a great deal of prose as well as satires, love elegies, epigrams, epithalamions, epicedes and obsequies, verse letters, holy sonnets and other divine poems.

Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/03-3/rev_hod2.html John Donne, who seemed to have been killed off by the loving ministrations of T.S. Eliot and the New Critics, has been in recent years resurrected as an object of serious critical inquiry. Annabel Patterson, Katharine Eisaman Maus, Richard Rambuss, Janel Mueller, Stanley Fish, Jonathan Goldberg and dozens of other "newer critics" have examined Donne's works through feminist, queer-theory, materialist and deconstructive filters, and Donne's political involvements in the Jacobean state have been reinvestigated in biographical works and editions of his polemical prose. Such progress has been somewhat hampered by the often-outdated editions of the texts, though, and this is a problem which the Donne Variorum editors are addressing here.

Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/02-1/rev_hod1.html Scholars of early modern English literature have been busily working on the corpus of John Donne recently; not only is the multi-volume Variorum edition of his poetry in preparation, but we also have a new edition of his prose work Pseudo-Martyr edited by Anthony Raspa and a new biographical study by Dennis Flynn. The 1610 Pseudo-Martyr Raspa's edition, as welcome as it is, could have been more useful still. Raspa chooses to use not one but two copy-texts, and it is not clear from the textual introduction why he makes such a decision. Some of the emendations also seem rather arbitrary; why silently correct the punctuation of a single sentence of Donne's? It would also help if Raspa could more convincingly "sell" Pseudo-Martyr in the introduction; his rather careful prose doesn't quite convey his own fascination with this work.

"Review of The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne (vol. 6): The Anniversaries and The Epicedes and Obsequies ." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/01-3/rev_sum1.html The appearance of the first volume in print of The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne Volume 6 of The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne is in itself a significant contribution to early modern literary studies. But as the first volume of an ambitious project, it has a further importance as herald of the major achievement that the completed edition promises. Indiana University Press deserves commendation for producing so complex a book so handsomely. At this time of outrageous prices for slim scholarly books, it is especially gratifying that support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and several universities have made it possible for the Press to market this large book at a price under $50.00. This volume belongs in every academic library and in the personal library of every scholar seriously interested in the works of John Donne.

Colon and Semi-Colon in Donne's Prose Letters: Practice and Principle Emma L. Roth-Schwartz rsschwartz@vax2.winona.msus.edu Roth-Schwartz, Emma L. "Colon and Semi-Colon in Donne's Prose Letters: Practice and Principle." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/03-1/rothdonn.html We cannot know now, and may never know, how Donne punctuated any but one of his English poems. This awkward situation makes it impossible to maintain the twentieth-century editor's drive toward the stability of a fixed and authorial text in the case of Donne's poetry. Perhaps this is not altogether a bad thing: seventeenth-century coterie poetry belonged to manuscript culture, and so was exempt from the requirements of stability introduced by print; we may distort the object of study by making it appear more stable than it in fact was. But modern editorial principles require a standard of judgement in Donne editions. On what grounds can we say that one editor's punctuation is superior to another's? Application of the punctuation principles of the seventeenth century would seem to be a good idea under these circumstances.

"The Metaphysical Sonnets of John Donne and Mikolaj Sep Szarzynski: A Comparison." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/09-2/kaysep.html I. The Poets T. S. Eliot draws an important distinction between Metaphysical language and structure: "the language of these poets is as a rule simple and pure;…the structure of the sentences, on the other hand, is sometimes far from simple, but this is not a vice; it is a fidelity to thought and feeling." This is especially true of Sep. Donne's complex syntax stretches the bounds of language, but he aids the reader in piecing together the puzzle with commas and paraphrases: "Beauty, of pitty, foulnesse only is / A signe of rigour: so I say to thee, / To wicked spirits are horrid shapes assigned." We may compare this to Sep: "Ten nasz dom-cialo, dla zbieglych lubosci / Niebacznie zajzrzac duchowi zwierzchnosci, / Upasc na wieki zadac nie przestanie"

" 'I haue often such a sickly inclination': Biography and the Critical Interpretation of Donne's Suicide Tract, Biathanatos ." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/si-07/siemens.htm As we live in an age that accepts, and at times embraces, the notion that the personal is political and that personal politics are professional politics, it is odd that Donne's Biathanatos (written 1607-8, printed 1647) a tract that Evelyn Simpson found to be "an exercise in casuistry on the subject of suicide" is not seen by most as a document indicative of the personal condition of its author at the time it was written. Views on this aspect of the work do range rather widely, from Ernest Sullivan's contention that "neither [Donne's] personal life nor the text validate reading Biathanatos as autobiographical introspection" to John Carey's assertion that Biathanatos "constituted a giant suicide note, always ready for use."

"John Donne's 'Lamentations' and Christopher Fetherstone's Lamentations . . . in prose and meeter (1587)." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/si-07/pebworth.htm One of the most important issues in the study of Donne's skillful but until recently neglected poetic translation of "The Lamentations of Jeremy, for the most part according to Tremellius" concerns which translations of Lamentations other than Tremellius' Latin rendering Donne may have consulted as he versified Jeremiah's song of tribulation. Various twentieth-century scholars and critics have seen in Donne's wording and phrasing traces of the Geneva translation, and less convincingly the Vulgate and even the Authorized Version. What none have so far noticed, however, is another pair of translations that Donne must certainly have consulted, published together in 1587 as The Lamentations of Ieremie, in prose and meeter, with apt notes to sing them withall: Togither with Tremelius his annotations, translated out of Latin into English by Christopher Fetherstone, for the profit of all those to whom God hath giuen an in-sight into spirituall things

"'Witness this Booke, (thy Emblem)': Donne's Holy Sonnets and Biography." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/si-07/benet.htm John Donne's Holy Sonnets have not endured because they are good "devotional" poetry. Readers who turn to these poems expecting piety, guidance (however artful), or anything like the varied spiritual perspective of George Herbert, for instance, are bound to be surprised or disappointed. Donne's sonnets do not feature an everyman expressing typical Christian problems or aspirations. Quite the contrary. A unique voice compels our attention, thrilling us even before we understand precisely what it is saying, shattering the decorous bounds of devotion with its force of expression. The immense aesthetic pleasure afforded by these poems consists in large part of hearing a vivid and original voice that rings, as it considers religious subjects, not with anything as feeble as piety, but with wit, energy, and drama. The same voice animates the secular poems, and, from the beginning, it has been identified as the voice of John Donne. With the exception of biographers and cultural historians, who have linked the

Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/si-07/gooch.htm Attempts to approach Benjamin Britten's The Holy Sonnets of John Donne , Opus 35, whether as performer, listener, or analyst, may well be marked by some unease, for this cycle contains nine of Donne's challenging texts in which the poet, in part, wrestles not only with God but with himself and this world, and which are set to music by a brilliant composer-pianist (I do not use the phrase loosely) for a vigorous and superbly talented tenor (Peter Pears), who had been a major musical collaborator and friend since March of 1934, just over eleven years before the Donne settings were completed. Thought by some to be less accessible than Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo , Opus 22 (1940) the first work to be written especially by Britten for Pears the Holy Sonnets display a maturity, a textural unity and complexity, and a sure-footedness and confidence in his singer that one suspects could only have come after the writing of

In the folio of 1616 he reversed title and subtitle and, repeating a phrase he had devised for Every Man Out of his Humour (1600), called it and Poetaster "comicall satyres." For consistency with other characters' Greek names (except Mercury and Cupid), he changed the Latin Criticus to the Greek Crites . The figure is generally regarded as a spokesman for the author and often as an idealized self-portrait, laying Jonson open to the charge of having himself drunk of the fountain of self-love. Addressing his readers in the quarto of Sejanus (1605), Jonson mentions his "Observations upon Horace his Art of Poetry, which (with the text translated) I intend, shortly to publish." This publication did not take place, and indeed only the translation appeared, after Jonson's death. In the
