He is considered the pre-eminent representative of the metaphysical poets. This book contains two of his most famous works - \"Devotions upon Emergent Occasions\" and \"Death's Duel\". Devotions upon Emergent Occasions is a 1624 prose work by John Donne, who dedicated it to the future King Charles I. It is a series of reflections that were written as Donne recovered from a serious illness, believed to be either typhus or relapsing fever. (Donne does not clearly identify the disease in his text.) He describes this as a \"preternatural birth, in returning to life, from this sickness\". The work consists of twenty-three parts ('devotions') describing each stage of the sickness. Each part is further divided into a Meditation, an Expostulation, and a Prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376690135263,"sku":"9781481186988","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/9KayqVG2N89781481186988.webp?v=1789221702","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/devotions-upon-emergent-occasions-together-with-deaths-duel-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
