Digital Donne

Constructed by the editors and staff of  The Variorum Edition of the Poetry of John Donne, the Center for the Study of Digital Libraries, and the Cushing Memorial Library and Archives at Texas A&M University, this web site is dedicated to the presentation of high-quality digital images of the early printed editions and selected manuscripts of John Donne’s poems.  Each set of images is accompanied by a set of facing-page transcriptions in a modern typeface and by a concordance tool that employs the key-word-in-context format to show words and certain other typographical features as they appear not only in the modern transcriptions, but also in the accompanying images.  Further, multiple copies of each edition have been compared, and press variants are flagged and encoded for display in the browser.  A formal bibliographical description and a composite list of all press variants are also provided for each printed edition.  See Site Features for further information.
