The 2024 John N. King Lecture in Medieval and Renaissance Studies will feature Dr. Susannah Monta, Associate Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame.

Modern literary scholarship has often labored under impoverished notions about the nature of liturgy. John Donne’s "A Litanie" from 1613 engages deeply with liturgy, but not necessarily in the ways literary scholars sometimes understand liturgy – as set verbal content for public worship which devotees endorse wholeheartedly, partially, or, worst, unthinkingly. 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.

This event is free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and the Humanities Institute.
