Archiving the English Reformation: the Parker Society and its (Unintended) Legacies.

Lori Anne Ferrell holds a joint appointment in Early Modern History and Literature at Claremont. Her research, which has been transdisciplinary since her undergraduate education, concentrates on the effect religious and political change had on early modern texts--theological, literary, theatrical, and practical--in the turbulent century before the outbreak of civil war in Britain. Lori Anne is the editor of volume 11 of The Sermons of John Donne, a major new edition of Donne's complete works published by Oxford University Press and underwritten by a grant from the AHRC in Britain. She is currently guest-curating her second exhibit for the Huntington Library entitled "Illuminated Palaces: Extra-Illustrated Books from the Huntington Collection," which will open in July 2013. Her other current research includes a research project on Shakespeare and botany in the Victorian era (with Dr. Lucinda McDade, Botany), and a monograph project on the archiving, organizing, and editing of sixteenth and seventeenth century historical, literary, and religious documents by nineteenth century organizations like The Parker Society.
