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 surges of misery, yet expressed in his verse many breathtaking impressions of electric joy and love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSuper-Infinite\u003c\/i\u003e, Katherine Rundell embarks on a fleet-footed act of evangelism, showing 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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne | Katherine Rundell | Paperback | 9781250872500 | New | Biography 1551641","offer_id":48163186606232,"sku":"1551641","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91ejahQZMcL.jpg?v=1771878356","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/super-infinite-the-transformations-of-john-donne","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
