The first volume to be published in the new Oxford Edition of the Sermons of John Donne, collecting the largest prose output of one of the most celebrated poets and preachers of the seventeenth century. Replacing the ten-volume edition of George R. Potter and Evelyn M. Simpson, published fifty years ago, this edition provides freshly edited texts, arranges the sermons by place of delivery instead of (often speculative) chronology, and offers a wealth of explanatory material for specialist and non-specialist readers alike. The sermons contained in this volume were preached at the court of Charles I between the years of 1625 and 1631. They display Donne's eloquence at the height of his career, and conclude with the last sermon he preached, just over a month before his death: the justly famous Deaths Duell.
