'The present Dean of St Paul's London has listened closely to a former one. The resulting extracts from Donne's vast output make up the best systematic collection one could hope for. (...) Credal cogency meets imaginative daring, with results that are striking when they are not stunning. As a means of discovering the John Donne you only half knew, this collection is ideal.'

- Philip Harvey, The Melbourne Anglican
