The fact that Roman Catholics, the Church of England, and Puritans all hold to the same belief in the Incarnation means that there is a central point of orthodoxy which allows poets from differing sects of Christianity to write devotional verse that is equally relevant for all churches. This creates a situation in which the more the writer focuses on the incarnate Jesus, the less ecclesiastically distinct their writings become and the more aware the reader is of how difficult it is to categorise poets by the sects of the day.

HOLY ESTRANGEMENT: THE POETICS OF ESTRANGEMENT IN JOHN DONNE’S DIVINE POEMS AND SERMONS by Anton Erik Bergstrom Bachelor of Arts Honours, University of Saskatchewan, 2007 Master of Arts, Queen’s University, 2008 DISSERTATION Submitted to the Department of English and Film Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for Doctor of Philosophy in English and Film Studies Wilfrid Laurier University © Anton Erik Bergstrom 2020 i Abstract This dissertation examines literary estrangement, that is the act and effect of making the familiar strange in a literary work, in the religious poems and sermons of the poet-preacher John Donne (1572–1631). My study uncovers and explores what Donne “estranges,” how he achieves this, and for what purpose, as well as the practices and modes of thinking that shaped his poetics. In Donne’s religious verse and prose, making the familiar and traditional tropes, images, doctrines, and events of Christianity strange forms active readers and revitalizes those elements, imbuing them with newfound interest, significance, and affective power.

  • Petrarchan Reform and Reform of Petrarch in Early Modern England
    University of Nevada, Reno Petrarchan Reform and Reform of Petrarch in Early Modern England A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English By Satyaki Kanjilal Dr. James Dillon Mardock/ Dissertation Advisor December, 2015 © by Satyaki Kanjilal 2015 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by Satyaki Kanjilal Entitled Petrarchan Reform and the Reform of Petrarch in Early Modern England be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. James Dillon Mardock, Advisor Dr. Eric Rasmussen, Committee Member Dr. Philip Boardman, Committee Member Dr. Kevin Stevens, Committee Member Dr. Kenneth Lucey, Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School December, 2015 i Abstract Discussions of Petrarchism in early modern English studies often focus on its influence on secular love lyrics, but Petrarch’s Canzoniere also has a religious undertone. Petrarch’s speaker in the in-vita section of Canzoniere focuses on the image of Laura, where he fluctuates between committing to God and committing to the image of Laura. After Laura’s death, Petrarch’s speaker gradually goes through despair in the in-morte section of Canzoniere to learn of his mistake and eventually commit to God. John Calvin, in his Institutes of Christian Religion, points out that a supplicant never definitively knows the state of his election. This uncertainty creates within the speaker a fluctuation between the state of hope for his soul’s salvation and a state of despair at the prospect of the damnation of his soul.

Donne w as famous in his ow n age mainly as a preacher; in fact, he w as probably the most popular preacher of an age w hen preaching held the same fascination for the general public that the cinema has today. Various sermons of Donne’s w ere published during his lifetime, and several collections w ere published in the follow ing decades. Without a commitment to Donne’s religious values, how ever, few today w ould w ant to read through many of his sermons. Donne must, how ever, be credited w ith the careful articulation of the parts of his sermons, w hich create a Table of Contents resounding unity of theme; and his control of prose rhythm and his ingenious imagery retain their Other literary forms pow er, even if modern readers are no longer disposed to see the majesty of God mirrored in such w riting.

  • Consummation of Sexuality and Religion in the Love and Divine Poetry of John Donne

UNIVERSITY J纠j ^>4IBRARY SYSTEf^y^ Abstract Abstract of thesis entitled: Consummation of Sexuality and Religion in the Love and Divine Poetry of John Donne. Submitted by Ng Pui Lam for the degree of Master of Philosophy in English Literary Studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in Nov 2005. This thesis aims to show the continuity of the emphasis on sex and religion in Donne's love and divine poetry. Though there are two distinctive and even contradictory subgenres in Donne's poetry, namely the love poems in Songs and Sonnets and Elegies and his religious poems, both sex and religion remain the core subjects all the way in Donne's poetry. Donne seduces women in many religious ways in his love poetry. Similarly, he sees God and Satan as lovers fighting for his soul; and he seduces God sexually as his mistress too in his divine poems. Furthermore, Donne's insistence on the consummation of his body and soul even continues after death. His poetry also shows his anxiety about death since death is a separation of the soul and the body in Christian doctrines.

  • Fettering Ignatius to Verse: Donne’S Reckoning with the Spiritual Exercises Through His Holy Sonnets
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FETTERING IGNATIUS TO VERSE: DONNE’S RECKONING WITH THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES THROUGH HIS HOLY SONNETS Brian J. Gilbert, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Professor Gerard Passannante, English Department The purpose of this project is to reestablish the Jesuit influence on John Donne’s Holy Sonnets in order to better understand the spiritual stagnancy expressed by his speakers. In doing so, this thesis will not examine Donne’s poetry as the reproduction of a meditative experience, but as the poet’s conscious efforts to contend with his formative traditions by “fettering” them to verse. In these sonnets, Donne dramatizes a conflicted spiritual heritage through the speakers’ ambivalent responses to the Jesuit meditative model. As Donne’s speakers engage and ultimately reject the requirements of the Spiritual Exercises they uncover the tension between acknowledging one’s past and asserting one’s selfhood.
