Who was responsible for John Donne's schooling in boyhood? Was he left free to develop himself as he wanted to do so or was he made to have some particular religious training? ( MEG 101 ) ( STUDY OF JOHN DONNE )

John Donne's education during his boyhood was primarily the responsibility of his mother, Elizabeth Donne, and his uncle, Jasper Heywood, a Jesuit priest. When he was eleven, he was sent to Hart Hall, Oxford, where he studied for three years. During this time, it appears that Donne was not subject to any particular religious training, as he later converted to Catholicism and then to Anglicanism. However, his uncle's Jesuit teachings and his mother's Catholicism may have had an influence on his later religious views and poetry.
