'Grady carefully rehearses the critical transition from the modernist to the postmodernist Donne, which he describes as essentially the transition from aesthetic unity to fragmentation. He also reviews all or most previous attempts to situate Donne's poetics in the perspective of baroque art, which leads to a fairly exhaustive review of major critics from T. S. Eliot, I. A. Richards, and Cleanth Brooks through Anthony Mazzeo, Mario Praz, and Louis Martz.'
