Neste sentido, essa pesquisa, de car?ter bibliogr?fico, anal?tico e interpretativo, se encontra justificada na relev?ncia que se d? a contextualiza??o do lugar e do espa?o do feminino em uma sociedade de uma ?poca de transforma??es e turbul?ncias sociais (fim do Renascimento, da Idade M?dia e contra-reforma religiosa). Tendo como cerne os estudos sobre no lugar do feminino na sociedade ocidental al?m de direcionar suas an?lises ao estudo dos poemas er?ticos, uma vez que as representa??es do feminino possuem tra?os mais marcantes nesse espa?o, tendo em vista toda a obra po?tica de Donne. Para isso, a pesquisa teve como orienta??o te?rica, prioritariamente, os estudos cr?ticos de Campus (1988), Eliot (1941), Erickson (2010), sobre quest?es que envolvem a po?tica Donniana; Bataille (1988) e Beauvoir (1980), nos questionamentos a respeito do erotismo e sexualidade; Grolli (2004) e Macedo (2002), quanto ao feminino e seu lugar no espa?o. / The objective of this research is to present a critical study on how the feminine representations happens in the erotic poems of John Donne (15721631), believing thus allow a better view of how the female was seen by English society of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries by the analysis of the poems and their representations. The objectives are directed from the critical reading and interpretative analysis of the poems, both concerning understanding of social historical aspects as the identification of feminine places with regard its manifestations in Donneana poetry. In this sense, this research, bibliographic, analytical and interpretative character, is justified in the importance that is given to contextualization of the place and the feminine space in a society of a time of changes and social upheavals (end of the Renaissance, Middle Ages and religious reformulation). With the core studies on the place of women in Western society as well as direct their analysis to the study of erotic poems, since the feminine representations have most striking features in this space, considering all the work poetry of Donne. For this, the research was theoretical guidance, primarily, critical studies of Campus (1988), Eliot (1941), Erickson (2010), on issues surrounding the poetic Donneana; Bataille (1988) and Beauvoir (1980), the questions about the eroticism and sexuality; Grolli (2004) and Macedo (2002), about the women and their place in space.

Hester Pulter’s (1605-1678) work was discovered in 1996 in the Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds. Pulter composed her poetry in the 1640s-1650s, but her works were not compiled until the 1660s. Overall, her manuscript contains one hundred and twenty poems and emblems in addition to an unfinished prose romance. Pulter recalls her personal life in her poems, and the collection includes her elegiac and lyrical poems on different topics such as politics, religion, childbirth, and the death of her children. In her elegiac poetry, Pulter explores of the experience of childbirth and sickness through a set of conventional Christian ideas about death. However, Pulter’s elegiac poetry also breaks away from Christian conventions, often through the use of astronomical imagery. In this thesis, I argue that Pulter’s grief and consolation strategies sometimes differ from her contemporaries; however, she eventually finds consolation using imagery drawn from her knowledge of the new astronomy, allowing her to reconstruct her identity. Through comparing Pulter with her contemporaries such as George Herber, Katherine Philips, and John Donne, Pulter’s poetry, which has been unstudied until recently, provides an example of a woman writer who is familiar with the seventeenth century poetical conventions; however, she is able to alter them to what is relevant to her condition.

Much has been written in the past fifty years about John Donne and his work. His troubled life and enigmatic writings have made him seem a kindred spirit to a confused age. To our day the dissonant, abrupt, and calculatedly reckless style and the concern with the harsh realities of love and death have relevance which heretofore had been misunderstood or ignored.

Dans le corpus, "le corps dans tous ses états" évoque d’emblée l’Incarnation. Mais celle-ci présuppose le corps vivant du fidèle. C’est lui qui donne corps aux semblables sensibles et intelligibles par amour. En retour, ceux-ci le poussent à faire corps avec eux en s’y assimilant. Tel est le Christ, l’Homme-Dieu qui épouse la condition terrestre et donne corps à la métaphore. Son corps est ainsi le milieu qui conjugue les dissemblables du monde en semblables mystiques. Comme les époux qui se fondent en un corps autre, son corps est donc d’un genre troisième et mystérieux. Tout cela prend corps grâce au lecteur, que le corpus suscite car il en partage la langue qui fait corps avec la voix intérieure. Telle est la chair du corpus où s’incarnent le Verbe divin et les métaphores. / John Donne is a Christian. Therefore all his works center around the Incarnation. However, the divine assuming a human body out of love requires first that a living believer should give rise to couples of persons and beings alike though different. Then the believer strives to assimilate himself to the other couple member, as is the rule in a good metaphor. Such is Christ, who is both God and Man as well as a living metaphor. He is a third type of being, made visible in marriage. This is achieved through bodies sharing in the same innate interior words, which starts with the mere act of reading John Donne’s corpus. Finally, the body means Verbum embodied in language.

Not much ink has been spilled over John Donne’s relationship to negative, or apophatic, theology. A few scholars have written about apophatic discourse in Donne’s poetry and sermons, but, in general, the subject continues to be overlooked. This thesis seeks to (re)start the conversation by shedding light on Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, a text which has yet to be linked to the negative tradition despite its clear engagement in apophatic discourse. Indeed, throughout Devotions, Donne wields several apophatic strategies when speaking of God including via negativa, predicates of action, linguistic regress, paradox, and a consistent reliance upon metaphorical language. Each of these strategies uphold the two guiding principles of negative theology: the epistemic thesis which asserts that God is incomprehensible, and the semantic thesis which asserts that God is unspeakable therefore can only stand as the subject term in negative propositions. Significantly, my objective is not merely to qualify Devotions as an example of apophatic discourse; I also intend to contemplate the implications of qualifying it as such, namely how Devotions challenges the long-held assumption that apophasis requires the user to relinquish the body. Across the text, Donne’s apophasis does not lead him to un-body; on the contrary, the body gains new importance as Donne imagines the risen body, the interpersonal body, the body that cannot be lost because it is an inextricable facet of selfhood. Again, my hope is that this thesis will (re)start or (re)energize the conversation around Donne’s relationship to negative theology, a relationship that is much richer and more extensive than current scholarship suggests.

Through his use of "foundation" and "house" metaphors in his "First Sermon Preached to King Charles at St. James, 3 April 1625," John Donne discreetly presents his ideologies and principles before the new king, while simultaneously criticizing his contemporaries' misguided bickering over religio-political factions. This essay seeks to unpack the history surrounding, as well as the casuistical logic found within Donne's first sermon preached during the Caroline period, which both explicitly and implicitly addresses the foremost anxieties of the people of the changing age.
