This fascinating selection of photographs traces some of the many ways in which Dunfermline has changed and developed over the last century

Inverkeithing was created a royal burgh in the twelfth century owing to its importance as a port and its strategic position on the King's Highway linking north and south. This strategic position owed much to its proximity to its wee neighbour of North Queensferry at the northern end of the Queensferry Passage. From the time of Queen Margaret the Queensferry Passage, now replaced by rail and road bridges, has been a vital artery of traffic.Inverkeithing, now bereft of other former industrie...

The Sermons of John Donne, edited by Evelyn M. Simpson and George R. Potter, Volume VI, encompasses Donne's preaching between 1623 and early 1626, a turbulent period marked by the failure of the Spanish Match, the death of James I, the accession of Charles I, and the devastating plague of 1625. These sermons show Donne navigating a nation in anxiety and transition, while also processing his own near-fatal illness of late 1623. The *Devotions upon Emergent Occasions* arose directly from tha...

*The Sermons of John Donne, edited by Evelyn M. Simpson and George R. Potter, Volume IX, gathers Donne's last dated sermons of 1629–1630 along with a group of later undated discourses, many preached during the closing years of his ministry. Here Donne returns insistently to the opening chapters of Genesis, meditating on creation, the image of God in humanity, and the Spirit moving upon the waters. These late sermons combine an elemental simplicity with a poet's grandeur: the East and West ...

The Sermons of John Donne, edited by Evelyn M. Simpson and George R. Potter, Volume VIII, captures Donne in one of the most somber and inward-looking periods of his ministry. Preached between 1627 and 1629, these sermons reflect the shock of repeated bereavements—his daughter Lucy, his patroness Lucy, Countess of Bedford, his lifelong friend Magdalen Danvers (formerly Herbert), and his confidant Sir Henry Goodyer. With no poetry and only a few letters surviving from these years, the sermon...
