Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne by Katherine Rundell

Description

John Donne lived myriad lives. Sometime religious outsider and social dis-aster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, Donne was incapable of being just one thing.\n
\n\nHe 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.\n
\n\nIn 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.
