- Double-weighted statement
- This is a large-scale research work including substantial original writing: this includes the Introduction (24,000 words), based on original research, and the nine sermon Commentaries (114,000 words). Lund is the textual editor of the 9 John Donne sermons themselves and the textual footnotes that accompany them. Very little attention has been paid to Donne's sermons at St Paul's in modern scholarship, and this volume casts important new light on their place in his clerical career and in seventeenth-century cathedral worship.

- Additional information
- Lund is solely responsible for all the research in this volume. She is the sole author of the Introduction (24,000 words) and the nine sermon Commentaries (114,092 words). The volume contains nine sermons delivered in the cathedral in the first six months of 1626. Five of these sermons were undated in the 1956 edition of Evelyn M. Simpson and George R. Potter; this new edition assigns them to the first half of 1626 and lays out the large amount of evidence from the texts that supports this identification. Thus, the volume provides a new and much more detailed picture of Donne's preaching activities in the period. It shows Donne engaging closely and directly with political and doctrinal debate. Lund is the textual editor of the nine sermons themselves and author of the textual footnotes that accompany the sermons, and is the compiler of the four indices: Biblical texts, Biographical, John Donne's works, and General.
