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.

Katherine Rundell's book Super-Infinite was a Sunday Times Bestseller w/c 16-04-2022

This is a fantastic and engaging piece of scholarship that happens to be written by a woman. It is written in an engaging, chatty, personal style; the author's voice really comes through. But the company decided to revert to stereotype and have it narrated by a man; why? Is it because they believe scholarship can only be taken seriously if it seems like it comes from a man? What a disappointing choice. I hope the author finds a better publisher for her next book, and I recommend people just buy the book and read it. It's the kind of book where you'll probably want to mark and come back to certain text passages anyway.

Excellent book, garbage narration choices
