Episode Synopsis

First class in a course called (not by me) "Exploring the Self in 17th Century Poetry."  But since that's pretty much what all my courses are (though I don't like the word "exploring" there: sounds a bit new-agey), it's an accurate enough name for the course.  Here we discuss general principles and a couple of Donne's Holy Sonnets (VII and XIX).  Correction to a mistake: when I said Dryden I meant (as many people do) Pope, who was of course the "versifier" of the Satires of Dr. Donne.
