George Donne : ウィキペディア英語版 | George Donne George Donne, (1605-1639), a bit player in the establishment of Virginia, is described by historian Brent Tarter as, "the less talented son of the clergyman and poet John Donne." He is chiefly remembered for his 1638 pamphlet,''Virginia Reviewed,'' a plan to reform the government of the Virginia colony.〔 ==Military career== Donne served as a captain and sergeant-major in the memorably unsuccessful British Siege of Saint-Martin-de-Ré (1627). He next served as military commander of the English colony planted on St. Kitts.〔 When Spain conquered the colony in 1629, Donne negotiated a surrender under which the English settlers would return to England in ships that the Spanish Admiral Fadrique de Toledo Osorio had captured and held as prizes of war, with Donne held as hostage against the return of the ships to Spain. In the event, the ships were not returned to Spain and Donne was imprisoned at Cadiz for several years. In 1633 he somehow escaped and returned to England.〔
