Bøger af Donald Davie

Because these poems do not idealize love and marriage, they may raise eyebrows as readers examine the various expressions through which the poet identifies the essence of true love. The poems' strength lies in their honesty and intimacy and in the openness to the pain and self-understanding that both ardor and conflict can produce.

Donald Davie is one of the foremost literary critics of his generation and a poet of some renown. His study of the eighteenth-century English hymn reclaims a rich and important literary genre which has been strangely neglected by literary critics.
