This project will produce a critical edition of the sermons preached by the poet and churchman John Donne (1572-1631) at the court of Charles I (i.e. between 1625 and 1631). Donne delivered fifteen sermons to this auditory, from the first sermon preached before Charles after his accession, to Donne's final sermon, 'Deaths Duell', which was preached just over a month before his death in March 1631. It will establish accurate texts of the sermons in old spelling, indicating textual variants and assessing their significance. In so doing, it will prioritise those texts which can be proved to be as close as possible to the sermons as they were originally delivered by Donne. Perhaps most importantly, it will also provide a substantial series of interpretive commentaries on and headnotes to each sermon in order to assist the reader and to guide him/her through the doctrinal and political significance of the texts, as well as glossing key words and tracing allusions to events or to other writers and texts (including the rest of Donne's corpus). The edition is part of a sixteen-volume edition of Donne's sermons, to be published by Oxford University Press. As a whole, the edition's aim is to arrange the sermons by place of preaching rather than purely chronologically (although within each volume sermons will be ordered by date of delivery where this can be established). By emphasising the importance of the audiences to whom sermons were delivered - a factor that profoundly influences the level, tone, register, and topics of a sermon - the edition will build on recent important research in the field. By providing extensive commentaries it will make these texts more widely accessible to students and scholars of the period. In both respects it will supersede the previous edition of George Potter and Evelyn Simpson (1953-62), which included no interpretive notes or glosses and is now out of print. During the time of his sermons to the court of Charles I, Donne was at the height of his powers as a preacher. At the same time, he grappled with the challenges of a new king, innovations in the church, foreign wars, plague at home, parliamentary unrest, and personal illness. His sermons during this period show him to be both an outspoken critic and a subtle counsellor; they display the breadth of his learning and his ability to adjust his message to circumstances and to the expectations of his congregation. This edition will, for the first time, make their full significance visible to a scholarly audience.

该项目将制作诗人和教士约翰·多恩(1572-1631年)在查理一世宫廷(即1625年至1631年)布道的批判性版本。从查尔斯登基后的第一次布道，到多恩在1631年3月去世前一个多月的最后一次布道《死亡决斗》，多恩在这场听证会上发表了15次布道。它将用旧的拼写建立布道的准确文本，指出文本变体并评估它们的意义。在这样做时，它将优先处理那些可以被证明尽可能接近多恩最初发表的布道的经文。也许最重要的是，它还将为每一篇布道提供大量的解释性评论和前言，以帮助读者并指导他/她了解经文的教义和政治意义，以及对关键词进行注释并追踪对事件或其他作家和经文的典故(包括Donne语料库的其他部分)。该版本是将由牛津大学出版社出版的16卷本《多恩的布道》的一部分。作为一个整体，该版本的目的是按照布道的地点而不是纯粹的时间顺序安排布道(尽管在每一卷中，布道将按交付日期排序，在那里可以建立这一点)。通过强调布道听众的重要性--一个深刻影响布道的水平、语调、语域和主题的因素--该版本将建立在该领域最近的重要研究基础上。通过提供广泛的评论，它将使这些文本更广泛地为那个时期的学生和学者所使用。在这两个方面，它都将取代乔治·波特和伊夫林·辛普森(1953-62)的前一版，后者没有任何解释性注释或注解，现在已经绝版。在查理一世的宫廷布道期间，多恩正处于传教士的巅峰时期。与此同时，他努力应对新国王的挑战、教会的创新、外国战争、国内的瘟疫、议会动荡和个人疾病。他在这一时期的布道表明他既是一个直言不讳的批评者，也是一个微妙的顾问；他们展示了他的学识广度和他根据情况和会众的期望调整他的信息的能力。这一版本将第一次让有学问的观众看到它们的全部意义。
