In this 1975 text, Dr Sanders approaches John Donne, beginnings with his arresting voice; individual and often puzzling. He asks of the live poetry and religious poetry alike, where is Donne speaking his own voice, when is he adopting a persona, what is the effect of his irony? And, he goes on, what affects us as true and fine when is Donne the prey of his own manner and self-irony; when is he conventionally amorous, cynical or pious? From this consideration Dr Sanders returns with a central body of poems which he considers great and unique. Many readers of Donne ask themselves uncomfortably whether their admiration is merely fashionable, or their dissatisfaction merely a reaction against fashion. Dr Sanders's calm examination proceeds from a disinterested wish to to find what is admirable, but not to lose sight of common-sense judgements exemplified in the past by Johnson.

Tillfälligt slut
Anya is a South African exile who manages, con brio, a smart dress shop in London. Laczi is a sculptor who left his country for England after the Soviets put down the Hungarian uprising. Both are outsize personalities. The dress shop and the sculptor's atelier are in the same building. Working in stone makes noise and dust. Clash of Titans ensues. Followed by grudging interest on both sides. Followed by wary mutual inspection. Followed by-well, we've all read the novels, we know what followed. The encounter of these two particular beings is comic, passionate, and troubled (Whim of Iron meets Very Nearly Immoveable Object). For example, the high and mighty Anya has a social conscience, and a political one; Laczi's experience of life in Hungary has taught him that politics is murder. She tells him, in effect, Call yourself a man? He tells her, in effect, I'm trying to be a grown man. Now, can this love affair prosper? Hardly. They separate. They get together again, the worse for wear. They try to ignore their spiritual differences, which is rather like ignoring what Paul Goodman used to call one's way of being in the world. But these domestic trials, serious enough it would seem, are scarcely all God's dangers. There is a demonstration. Anya, large and handsome, Is a conspicuous target in it. And yes, politics turns out to be murder, in Britain as in other places. A large, handsome, generous life is beaten to death.
