ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

A contemporary of Shakespeare, John Donne is recognized as one of England's finest Elizabethan poets. Donne may sound like a textbook chapter, but in Katherine Rundell's hands, he comes to life in several dimensions and Technicolor language.

Rundell follows the paper trail to plausible conclusions and writes with colorful, unexpected twists of phrase in nearly every paragraph. "His brain was generated with ceaselessness... a writer who had blasted through the old into the new," she says of Donne's intellect.

His was a difficult but successful life filled with unexpected twists and turns. Donne's family was persecuted by Elizabeth's Protestant government for being Roman Catholic, and his beloved brother was tortured and murdered. In poems, speeches, and writing, he created amazing ideas, designed not to explain but to convey the chaos he perceived around him, "a universe that was moving, raw, and unhinged."
