中文简介:
约翰·邓恩(John Donne)在生活中有无数种不同的角色。他有时是宗教界的局外人,有时是社会的灾难,有时是知名传教士和机构的宠儿。他同时兼具法律学者、海上冒险家、国会议员、牧师以及圣保罗大教堂的院长等多重身份,也许还是英语史上最伟大的爱情诗人。
凯瑟琳·伦德尔(Katherine Rundell)在《超级无限》中揭示了邓恩非凡人生的方方面面,他的痴迷、他炽热的文字,以及动荡的伊丽莎白时代,透过这一切展现邓恩的非凡头脑和生活经验。
英文简介:
John Donne lived myriad lives. Sometime religious outsider and social disaster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, Donne was incapable of being just one thing.
He was a scholar of law, a sea adventurer, an MP, a priest, the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral - and perhaps the greatest love poet in the history of the English language.
In Super-Infinite, Katherine Rundell shows 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.
