Résumé
It is in the letters of John Donne (1571/2-1631) that the vulnerable candour underlying the vagaries of the poems is manifest. They are, as it were, the historical and spiritual substructure of his fluent and indefatigable imagination.

Selected Letters by John Donne
The 95 letters printed here in there entirety - dating from the late 1590s until a short time before Donne's death - constitute approximately half of his surviving correspondence. Addressed to a variety of recipients, they present the author of some of the most enduringly popular English verse as father, son, husband, friend, suitor, courtier and pastor. Although what the letters reveal of Donne is far from edifying, they corroborate the impression created by his better-known writings that he was one of the most remarkable figures produced by the English Renaissance and that he possessed an extraordinarily subtle and creative intelligence
John Donne was one of the most influential poets of the English Renaissance. P. M. Oliver is the author of "Donne's Religious Writing."
