Virtual Paul's Cross Project

Recreates the experience of hearing John Donne's sermon on Gunpowder Day, November 5th, 1622. The project allows viewers to experience what the sermon would have sounded like at Paul's Churchyard, which the sermon was originally composed for, from eight different positions and four different crowd sizes. Virtual Paul's Cross Website also provides visual models of Paul's Churchyard and additional information on John Donne and the script for his sermon.

The Virtual Paul's Cross Project has little to no requirements for its users and is easy to navigate. It would be helpful to have some previous knowledge of John Donne and Paul's Churchyard, but if not the project provides some additional information on the subjects.

The project gives information on Paul's Churchyard, John Donne's sermon, and John Donne himself.
