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.

Genuinely one of the best written, most profound and beautiful books I’ve listened to on Audible. The author’s own sense of language provides a lattice in which to explore John Donne of whom I had always been a little frightened before!

The performance is also wonderful.

Well written, articulate and erudite. Does justice to the intellect and creativity of John Donne. However, the narrative of his life is simply fascinating.
