영문 초록

This article aims to examine how John Donne's La Corona formulates the recurrent motif of the speaker's internal distress and unswerving attempt to regenerate spiritual vehemence. Numerous textual passages of the poem elucidate the manifold accounts for the speaker's spiritual discomfort, simultaneously expounding his utmost endeavor to relieve from his current tribulation. This vigorous procedure inherent in his interior world features the collateral situation and attitude of the poetic speakers manifested in Donne's Holy Sonnets, most of which were composed in his turbulent period of the 1610s. Donne makes a contrived anticipation of his thematic concerns with the unfathomable dilemmas in the process of his religious confrontation. The writer, who foreshadows the speaker's frustration and resilience in La Corona, propounds these crucial ideas in Holy Sonnets, whereby enriching his persistent preoccupation with the irresolvable sides of human endeavors and enterprises.
