About this title: The phrase "No man is an island" comes from one of the famous but personal meditations collected in this volume, which Donne wrote on the occasions of his wife's death and his own battle with a debilitating illness. Each "devotion" weaves together mortal and spiritual concerns, often using his bodily infirmities as metaphors for humankind's spiritual limitations. This volume also includes a sermon on death, Isaak Walton's biographical essay on Donne (from 1640), and the British Poet Laureate Andrew Motion's introduction.
