Reprint Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. A Reprint edition in Near Fine condition, little soiled and worn along spine; John Donne's Flight from Mediaevalism is the biography of a poet who left the strict confines of the Middle Ages to explore new and innovative poetic territory. Moloney provides an in-depth exploration of Donne's life and work, paying particular attention to the ways in which he challenged the conventions of his time.; 8vo; 223 pages ., Russell & Russell Inc., 1965, 4, Greenwood Press, Westport, first edition, 1997. Cloth, 8vo,. xii, 514 pp. This reference book is a guide to the rich and diverse literature of Tudor England. Included are entries for nearly 100 people who wrote between 1485 and 1603. The entries are written by expert contributors and are arranged alphabetically to facilitate use. Some of the authors profiled are major canonical figures, such as Shakespeare, Spenser, and Donne. But the volume also includes a significant number of entries for women writers, whose work has been unjustly disregarded until recent years. While most of the authors were from England, the volume contains entries on figures such as Erasmus, who, though born in another country, wrote important works in England, and on writers such as Machiavelli, Calvin, Ariosto, and Tasso, whose works were almost immediately adopted, translated, or otherwise made part of Tudor culture. Each entry provides a brief biography, which is followed by a discussion of major works and themes, a review of the author's critical reception, and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources.

On Doctoring is an extraordinary collection of stories, poems, and essays written by physicians and non-physicians alike -- works that eloquently record what it is like to be sick, to be cured, to lose, or to triumph. Drawing on the full spectrum of human emotions, the editors have included selections from such important and diverse writers as Anton Chekhov, W. H. Auden, William Carlos Williams, John Keats, John Donne, Robert Coles, Pablo Neruda, Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, Alice Walker, Kurt Vonnegut, and Abraham Verghese. In this era of managed healthcare, when medicine is becoming more institutionalized and impersonal, this book recaptures the breadth and the wonder of the medical profession. Presenting the issues, concerns, and challenges facing doctors and patients alike, On Doctoring is at once illuminating and provocative, a compelling record of the human spirit. 428 pages.., New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster, 1991, 0, New York: The Century Co, 1921.

[Note: see BAL 2291 for an explanation of why the error "forgetting" misspelled on p. 39 is NOT a valid first issue point]. The author was born Brian Oswald Donn-Byrne, in 1889 while his Irish parents were on a business trip in New York. The family soon returned to Ireland where Byrne was educated at Trinity College in Dublin. "Donn-Byrne was a typical, romantic, fighting North Irishman. His writings manifest his deep aversion to 'progress,' his belief in the futility of politics, his love of sport, and his poetic Scots-Irish mysticism. In his work he tried to capture for an instant 'a beauty that was dying slowly, imperceptibly, but would soon be gone.' And with his feeling for color and his ear for the music of words he succeeded in imparting a mythical and mystical beauty to the Ireland of his imagination." - Frank Monaghan (in Dictionary of American Biography)..

Few anthologies still include Traherne among the august ranks of Herbert, Donne and Vaughan. His rhymes have been criticized as inferior, his voice routinely reproved for its lack of doubt and anxiety. Yet on closer examination (as his manuscripts continue to be discovered in burning book piles and the cobwebbed recesses of university libraries), modern scholarship reveals Traherne ''the naive woodland warbler'' to be Traherne the public priest, scholar and theologian -- a man concerned with the struggles of his day. Well-acquainted with the Cambridge Platonists, Traherne's verse also carries strains of Augustine, Gregory of Nyssa, Irenaeus, Francis Bacon and Thomas á Kempis. Much of his poetry seems to anticipate literary progenies Wordsworth and Blake, who could not have been familiar with his work but whose own poems echo his themes of innocence and experience. Yet Traherne's voice remains singular. There is something transcendent in it. To quote Ms. Inge in the introduction, ''He speaks of a world most of us only remember as if it were his present and his futureait is his constant vision.'' Included here are selections from the <i>Centuries, Thanksgivings, Ceremonial Law, Christian Ethicks, Meditations, Commentaries of Heaven</i>, and the Burney and Lambeth Manuscripts. With this new edition, we're grateful to offer Traherne's work once again. One of his more rapturous passages follows (from the <i>Third Century</i>). 'The corn was Orient and Immortal Wheat, which never should be reaped, no was ever sown. I thought it had stood from Everlasting to Everlasting. The Dust and Stones of the Street were as Precious as GOLD. The Gates were at first the End of the World, The Green Trees when I saw them first through one of the Gates Transported and Ravished me all things abided Eternaly as they were in their Proper Places. Eternity was manifest in the Light of the Day, and som thing infinit Behind evry thing appeared: which talked with my Expectation and moved my Desire.' 116 pp., SPCK, 6, New York: Rizzoli International Publications, Inc., 1997.
