초록

This article investigates how John Donne’s The Lamentations of Jeremy links with his diverse perceptions of spiritual disease, which is initiated by his direct experiences of dreadful prevalence of the London plague. Unlike in his earlier works of the 1610s where he raises the social corruptions, Donne’s religious perspectives, situated in the historical context, divert the notion of external pollution into that of internal deteriorations via the biblical prophet Jeremy’s recognitions of the transgressive desire of man and its irresistible consequence of God’s wrath. Whereas Devotions upon Emergent Occasions X shows the author’s objective diagnosis of the origin of social infection, the Lamentations of Jeremy dramatizes the protagonist’s individual witnessing of the wrongdoings of people including himself, whereby Donne, for the first time, expands the range of tribulation into general and personal domains.

Abstract

This article investigates how John Donne’s The Lamentations of Jeremy links with his diverse perceptions of spiritual disease, which is initiated by his direct experiences of dreadful prevalence of the London plague. Unlike in his earlier works of the 1610s where he raises the social corruptions, Donne’s religious perspectives, situated in the historical context, divert the notion of external pollution into that of internal deteriorations via the biblical prophet Jeremy’s recognitions of the transgressive desire of man and its irresistible consequence of God’s wrath. Whereas Devotions upon Emergent Occasions X shows the author’s objective diagnosis of the origin of social infection, the Lamentations of Jeremy dramatizes the protagonist’s individual witnessing of the wrongdoings of people including himself, whereby Donne, for the first time, expands the range of tribulation into general and personal domains.
