- A monograph of 120,000 words, John Donne and the Conway Papers is a long-form scholarly output which demonstrates research conducted over 7 years. In 1980, the messy and scattered Conway Papers were authoritatively described as presenting ‘peculiar problems of location and identification’, and overcoming these problems was dependent on first transcribing some 60,000 words of manuscripts in Renaissance handwriting. Based on the detailed study of this 12,000-document archive and the Conway family’s 13,000-book library, plus various cognate collections, it synthesises a large and complex body of material held at 32 libraries in five countries.
