Devotions upon Emergent Occasions is a 1624 prose work by the English theologian and writer John Donne, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. It is a series of reflections that were written as Donne recovered from a serious illness. The work consists of twenty-three parts ('devotions') describing each stage of the sickness. Each part is further divided into a Meditation, an Expostulation (or objection), and a Prayer. The work is an excellent example of seventeenth century English spirituality and sometimes feels a bit dated. Yet much solid nourishment can be found. "Death's Duel" is Donne's last sermon prepared for presentation before the King during Lent; it is commonly seen as Donne's own funeral oration. The biographical material is from Izaak Walton's Lives. The most famous part of the Devotions is number XVII, containing these lines: No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.

Biathanatos is a controversial work by the renowned English poet and cleric, John Donne. First published in 1648, the book is a treatise on the subject of suicide, arguing that it is not inherently sinful and that there may be circumstances where it is justifiable. Donne's argument is based on his interpretation of Christian theology and his belief that suicide is not explicitly condemned in the Bible.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores different aspects of the topic. In the first section, Donne presents his thesis and sets out to refute the arguments of those who believe that suicide is always a sin. He argues that suicide can be an act of bravery, and that it is not necessarily a sign of mental illness or weakness.The second section of the book examines the historical and cultural attitudes towards suicide, from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the early modern period. Donne draws on a wide range of sources to show that suicide has been viewed differently in different times and places, and that it is not always regarded as a sin.In the third section, Donne considers the moral and ethical implications of suicide. He argues that there are circumstances where suicide may be the most moral choice, such as when a person is facing unbearable suffering or is in danger of committing a greater sin. He also explores the idea that suicide can be a form of martyrdom, and that it may be a way of expressing one's faith or political beliefs.The final section of the book is a series of reflections on death and the afterlife. Donne explores the idea that death is not necessarily something to be feared, and that it can be a release from the suffering and pain of life. He also considers the possibility of an afterlife, and the idea that suicide may not necessarily lead to damnation.Biathanatos is a complex and challenging work that raises important questions about the nature of sin, morality, and the value of human life. It is a fascinating insight into the mind of one of England's greatest poets and thinkers, and a testament to Donne's intellectual courage and originality.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1648 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions by John Donne text is offered here together with Death's Duel. Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, or in full Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, and severall steps in my Sicknes, is a prose work by the English metaphysical poet and cleric in the Church of England John Donne, published in 1624. It covers death, rebirth and the Elizabethan concept of sickness as a visit from God, reflecting internal sinfulness. The Devotions were written in December 1623 as Donne recovered from a serious but unknown illness - believed to be relapsing fever or typhus. Having come close to death, he described the illness he had suffered from and his thoughts throughout his recovery with "near super-human speed and concentration".[1] Registered by 9 January, and published soon after, the Devotions is one of only seven works attributed to John Donne which were printed during his lifetime. The Devotions is divided into 23 parts, each consisting of 3 sub-sections, called the 'meditation', the "expostulation' and a prayer. The 23 sections are chronologically ordered, each covering his thoughts and reflections on a single day of the illness. Famously, the 17th devotion, Meditation XVII, includes the phrases "No man is an Iland" (often modernised as "No man is an island") and "...for whom the bell tolls". The work as a whole is considered similar to 17th-century devotional writing generally, and particularly to Donne's Holy Sonnets. Some academics have also identified political strands running through the work, from a polemic Arminian denunciation of Puritanism to advice to the young Prince Charles. Donne was born in 1572 to a wealthy ironmonger and a warden of the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers, and his wife Elizabeth.[2] After his father's death when he was four, John Donne was trained as a gentleman scholar; his family used the money his father had made to hire tutors who taught him grammar, rhetoric, mathematics, history and foreign languages. Elizabeth remarried to a wealthy doctor, ensuring the family remained comfortable; as a result, despite being the son of an ironmonger and portraying himself in his early poetry as an outsider, Donne refused to accept that he was anything other than a gentleman.[3] After study at Hart Hall, Oxford, Donne's private education saw him study at Lincoln's Inn, one of the Inns of Court, where he occupied his time with history, poetry, theology and "Humane learning and languages".[4] It was at Lincoln's Inn that John Donne first began writing poetry, looking upon it as "a life-sign or minor irritation" rather than something that defined him. In November 1623, Donne fell seriously ill. London was the scene of a 'spotted' or relapsing fever, which hit its victims unexpectedly and left them conscious but physically helpless.[6] What disease Donne suffered from is not known. Writers have suggested typhus as a likely culprit, but Donne's writings on the subject reference multiple diseases. Clara Lander, writing in Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, suggests that the typhus may have exacerbated the enteritis Donne had suffered from since childhood.[7] Donne was of the opinion - as were many others of the age - that illness reflected a state of internal sinfulness, and constituted a visit from God.[8] Despite being ordered to rest, he insisted that a pen and paper be given to him, and he wrote down his impressions of the disease.[9] After his recovery, in December, these became Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, one of his few published prose works, [10] and also one of only seven printed works of which he acknowledged authorship.[11] Written with "near super-human speed and concentration", [1] the work was registered with the Stationers' Company by 9 January 1624.[1] It was published that year, and again in 1634 and 1638.[12] The full, albeit rarely used, title is Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, and severall steps in my Sicknes.
