John Dowland’s fascination with night culminated in his fourth and final songbook, A Pilgrimes Solace (1612). Depicting a dark night of the soul, Dowland’s songbook can be seen as a navigation through anxiety and insomnia where faith and music lead towards dawn and a kind of stoical resolution. Dowland’s Foundry explores this extraordinary book through a contemporary mental health lens.
