AB  - 'Manuscript Matters' illuminates responses to some of John Donne's most elusive texts by his contemporary audiences. Since examples of 17th-century literary criticism prove somewhat rare and frequently ambiguous, this text emphasises a critical framework rarely used for exhibiting early readers' exegeses of literary texts: the complete manuscripts containing them. Many literary manuscripts that include poems by Donne and his contemporaries were compiled during their lifetimes, often by members of their circles. For this reason, and because various early modern poems and prose works satirise topical events and prominent figures in highly coded language, attempting to understand early literary interpretations proves challenging but highly valuable.
