6. 17th Century Poetry -- Donne’s ”Ecstasy” and ”Love’s Alchemy”

More on Donne's "Ecstasy."  The strange proto-modernism of Donne's addressees.  Their consciously dramatic quality -- that is we're supposed to be conscious that their speaker is being dramatic, and that the drama is for us. As in "The Sun Rising," with its female speaker.  Why a female speaker?  Then we begin on "Love's Alchemy."
