"A Litanie" from 1613 engages with liturgy, but not necessarily in the ways literary scholars sometimes understand. In this lecture, Dr. Monta will situate sixteenth and seventeenth century litanies in contexts both historical and theological. She'll propose that Donne’s “A Litanie” thinks and works liturgically in light of those contexts.Details Research Commons Colloquium Space, 18th Ave. Library America/New_York public
