John Donne lived myriad lives. Sometime religious outsider and social disaster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, Donne was incapable of being just one thing.

He was a scholar of law, a sea adventurer, an MP, a priest, the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral - and perhaps the greatest love poet in the history of the English language.

In Super-Infinite, Katherine Rundell shows us the many sides of Donne's extraordinary life, his obsessions, his blazing words, and his tempestuous Elizabethan times - unveiling Donne as the most remarkable mind and as a lesson in living.

Uplifting and enchanting. Exhaustively researched but so lightly handled. A love poem to Donne but never gushy always justly critical when needed but ultimately exalting. Totally brilliant.

Perfectly Donne

Considering how limited the primary source materials are for John Donne’s biographers, this is a perceptive view of the poet and his context. Highly recommended.

Marvellous
