Abstract or Introduction
This essay will show how the lyric persona in “Holy Sonnet XIV” fully self-abandons himself with help of various stylistic devices.
The 14th “Holy Sonnet” by John Donne, who lived from 1572 until 1631, was written around 1609, but it was not until after his death that his son published it in 1633. As one of the most acknowledged metaphysical poets, John Donne especially had a comeback by the publication of T.S Eliot’s essays “The Metaphysical Poets” and “Andrew Marvell” in 1921.
