Abstract

A literary criticism of the poetry collection the "Holy Sonnets" by John Donne is presented. The author suggests that Donne utilizes Petrarchan modalities of sorrow and Christian repentance. The author analyzes the psychically violent form of repentance and self-denial in the poems. Other topics include identification with Ignatian mediations on the Christian Passion, ambivalence about conversion and regeneration, and divine injustice.
