By Katherine Rundell. This prize-winning new biography of John Donne reveals him as an `infinity merchant`, a man whose preaching could make his congregation weep, a poet whose `beauty deserved walk-on music`.

This engaging, witty and often thrilling book champions a man impossible to categorise: pirate, soldier, scholar, priest, inventor of new words and author of some of most intensely and intimately passionate poetry in English. Donne was a Catholic who lost - or left - his faith, from a family of martyrs, whose career led him to become Dean of Saint Paul's Cathedral.
