The largest debt was to Grierson's edition of the poems of John Donne, published in 1912 when Grierson was Professor of English Literature at the University of Aberdeen. That edition made available for the first time trustworthy versions of Donne's poems and, in its introduction and notes, radically revised the value of Donne's contribution to poetry in English, presenting his work as ‘a poetry of an extraordinarily arresting and haunting quality, passionate, thoughtful, and with a deep melody of its own’. Grierson not only transformed Donne's historical reputation (and, by his anthology of Metaphysical Poetry in 1921, the estimate of much seventeenth-century poetry) but effectively encouraged Donne to be taken as the model for a properly modern poetry. Grierson himself put this down later to a ‘reaction against the smoothness of Tennyson like the reaction against Pope by Wordsworth and others. The moderns found inspiration in the “metaphysicals” and doubtless my edition had an influence.’ The real reaction, however, was against nineteenth-century conceptions of ‘beauty’, and what Grierson emphasised was that Donne manages to produce poetry without depending on beauty . Donne's previous critics had denied that he was a great poet because with rare exceptions, exceptions rather of occasional lines and phrases than of whole poems, his songs and elegies lack beauty.
