Katherine Rundell with Edoardo Ballerini: Super-Infinite

Katherine Rundell’s biography of the English Elizabethan poet and preacher John Donne has been a literary sensation in the US and UK, “a wonderful, joyous piece of work” (Maggie O’Farrell). Who knew that it would be possible to introduce Donne to a new generation of readers in such a spectacular way?  The secret lies in Rundell’s dazzling writing, wit and passion for her subject – perhaps the greatest and most daring love poet in the English language as well as celebrity Dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Together with Edoardo Ballerini, actor and celebrated reader, Katherine Rundell, scholar, nature writer and roof-walker, brings John Donne alive.
