This new volume in the prestigious Oxford Edition of the Sermons of John Donne contains thirteen sermons preached by Donne as Dean of St Paul's Cathedral between November 1626 and November 1628. For each sermon, an authoritative text has been established by freshly collating multiple copies of the seventeenth-century print editions. The introduction describes the institutional and physical context of Donne's cathedral sermons, analyses his style of preaching and doctrinal and political positions, and explores the context of early modern preaching in London. For the first time, the sermons appear with a full critical apparatus: headnotes to each sermon describe its textual state and supply local historical context and suggestions for further reading, while extensive commentaries trace Donne's use of his sources, translate passages in foreign languages, and gloss important and unfamiliar words.
