John Donne’s poetry and prose in London. The scholar and children’s author Katherine Rundell traces the life and paradoxical career of John Donne from the street where he was born, through the palaces and colleges where he worked to the cathedral where he preached and now lies buried.   In 2022 Rundell won the Baillie-Gifford Prize for her biography of Donne, Super-Infinite.

Donne's prose masterpiece Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions was published 400 years ago in January 1624.   Donne’s Selected Poems (Penguin Classics edition) https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/33860/selected-poems-donne-by-john-donne-ed-professor-ilona-bell-series-editor--christopher-ricks/9780140424409 https://apple.co/48S5406   Donne’s Selected Prose (Penguin Classics edition) https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/34100/selected-prose-by-donne-john/9780141396712 https://apple.co/47NE1m1   Naxos audiobook edition of Donne’s poetry, read by Geoffrey Whitehead and Will Keen https://naxosaudiobooks.com/john-donne-selections/ https://apple.co/3vHDpk8   Katherine Rundell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Rundell https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/author/katherine-rundell/   Super-Infinite by Katherine Rundell (Faber) https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571345922-super-infinite/ https://apple.co/47DGDCx   Audiobook edition of Super-Infinite https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571378258-super-infinite/ https://apple.co/3TSyR4I   Lincoln’s Inn https://www.lincolnsinn.org.uk/   St Dunstan in the West https://www.stdunstaninthewest.org/   St Paul’s Cathedral https://www.stpauls.co.uk/   Presenter – Henry Eliot: https://www.henryeliot.co.uk/ Producer – Andrea Rangecroft: https://www.andrearangecroft.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
