The goal of this edition, which was begun in the mid-1980s, is to recreate as closely as we can the original texts of English poet John Donne’s poems, based on all extant manuscript and early print evidence, and to present a comprehensive commentary on all published scholarly criticism from the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries. “The Divine Poems, volume 7.2 of the Variorum edition”, has been published by Indiana University Press. McDowell co-authored this volume as both a textual and commentary editor with scholars from the U. S., Canada, Switzerland, Finland, and Japan. He also serves as member of the John Donne Advisory Board.
Additionally, on December 11, 2020, McDowell gave a presentation on “Donne’s Hymns as Invitations to Write” as part of a John Donne Society webinar on “Teaching Donne in Emergent Occasions.” The purpose of this webinar—and of McDowell’s presentation—was to stimulate discussion about how Donne’s responses to illness and epidemics can speak to our responses to the current COVID-19 pandemic in ways that lead to new understanding.
