Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne
Katherine Rundell
A very modern biography of John Donne--the poet of love, sex, and death--by bestselling children's book author and superstar academic Katherine Rundell.
John Donne led myriad lives. He was a lawyer, a sea adventurer, a courtier, a preacher, an MP, and a poet. He converted from Catholicism to Protestantism. He was imprisoned for marrying a sixteen-year-old girl, struggled to feed a family of ten children, and was often ill and in pain. He was a man who suffered from black surges of misery, yet expressed electric joy and love in his verse.
In Super-Infinite, a biography that marks the arrival of an extraordinary new talent, Katherine Rundell embarks on a fleet-footed act of evangelism, showing us the many sides of Donne's extraordinary life, his obsessions (some common, some very strange), his tempestuous Elizabethan times, and his blazing words--unveiling what Donne can tell us about ourselves.
