Though profoundly historical in its orientation, the "Handbook" is not a summary of existing knowledge but a resource that reveals patterns of literary & historical attention & the new directions that these patterns enable or obstruct. PART I: "RESEARCH RESOURCES in DONNE STUDIES" (& why they matter) emphasizes the heuristic & practical orientation of the Handbook, examining prevailing assumptions & reviewing the specialized scholarly tools available. This section provides a brief evaluation & description of the scholarly strengths, shortcomings & significance of ea. resource, focusing on a balanced evaluation of the opportunities & the hazards ea. offers. PART II: "DONNE'S GENRES" begins w/ an introduction that explores the significance & differentiation of the numerous genres in which Donne wrote, including discussion of the problems posed by his overlapping & bending of genres. Essays trace the conventions & histories of the genres concerned & study the ways in which Donne's works confirm how & why his "fresh invention" illustrates his responses to the literary & non-literary contexts of their composition. PART III: "BIOGRAPHICAL & HISTORICAL CONTEXTS" creates perspective on what is known about Donne's life, shows how his life & writings epitomized & affected important controversial issues of his day, & brings to bear on Donne studies some of the most stimulating & creative ideas developed in recent decades by historians of early modern England. PART IV: "PROBLEMS of LITERARY INTERPRETATION" (that have been traditionally & generally important in Donne Studies) introduces students & researchers to major critical debates affecting the reception of Donne from the 17th through to the 21st centuries. * ABOUT THE AUTHORS: JEANNE SHAMI is Professor of English at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, where she has taught since 1977.
