This article investigates how Edward Young reuses John Donne’s 1611 poem The First Anniversary in the third part of Night Thoughts (1742). Young creatively reshapes the latter’s work in light of structural pattern, characterization, and thematic concerns. Donne’s deep reflections on the virtue of the dead and his awareness of its opposite tainted features of this world motivate Young to conceive similar ideas. However, due to Young’s intention to scrutinize a variety of the internal facets of human virtues and infirmities. he creates multiple characters such as Narcissa, Philander, and Lorenzo in contrast with Donne’s portrayal of a single figure in The First Anniversary. The paper also examines how Young incorporates his prominent consideration of contemporaries’ need to meditate on the intangible world after death whilst preoccupied with materialistic comprehension of the universe and pursue sensual ways of life.
