John Donne led myriad lives. Sometime religious outsider and social disaster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, John 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. He converted from Catholicism to Protestantism, was imprisoned for marrying a sixteen-year old girl without her father''s consent; 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 in his verse electric joy and love. * 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 Donne as the most remarkable mind and as a lesson in living, with much to teach us about ourselves, now.
