Super-Infinite

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 Pauls 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 Donnes 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.
