The leading poet of the Metaphysical school, John Donne is often considered the greatest love poet of the English language. His poetical works are noted for their metaphorical and sensual style, including sonnets, love poems, Latin translations, epigrams, elegies, songs and satires. Donne is also noted for his religious verse and treatises and for his sermons, which rank among the finest examples of the seventeenth century.
