Abstract
Modern-day music sensation Taylor Swift and metaphysical poet John Donne are, at face value, very different entities. One exists in today’s society, composing profound lyrics and delivering dazzling performances to sold-out stadiums, while the other crafted brilliant pieces of poetry in the 1500s. Both artists are regarded as experts in their respective fields, but an in-depth analysis of the figures reveals surprising similarities in their stories, despite the centuries separating their lives. This research project examines the literary techniques utilized in a plethora of the authors’ pieces, revealing a notable kinship between the seemingly divergent pair.
