초록
In accordance with Christian rituals, a litany is a collection of prayers and supplications which are included in The Book of Common Prayer used in Anglican Churches from the mid sixteenth century. Donne creatively adopts these traditional hymns in the light of his personal and literary concerns in one of his divine poems—A Litany. The writer’s reuse of The Book of Common Prayer in A Litany propounds his own experiences of bodily pain, mental and spiritual reflections. Unlike in The Book of Common Prayer, Donne’s A Litany endorses his sincere requests and longings for the improvement of his troubled mind. This paper investigates the procedure of engaging his internalized and close relationship with God. It scrutinizes the author’s strenuous and persistent aspirations to search for his intimate connection with the Almighty, through elaborating his multifarious religious susceptibilities.
