Winner, John Donne Society Award for Distinguished Publication in Donne Studies in 1999: Lisa Gorton, "John Donne's Use of Space," Early Modern Literary Studies 4.2 / Special Issue 3 (September, 1998): 9.1-27. The article appeared in Literature and Geography, a Special Issue of EMLS guest-edited by Richard Helgerson and Joanne Woolway Grenfell.
I would anticipate that this article has probably been read by more individuals than most of the other publications mentioned in this survey.
