Maggie O Farrell, in herObserver review, describes the book as "masterly," "wonderful, joyous," and "frankly brilliant."

Claire Tomalin describes it as "a triumph," and Matt Haig calls it "stylish, scholarly, and gripping." Rose Tremain concludes by calling it "A triumph."
John Donne, a multifaceted figure, lived a multitude of lives. He oscillated between being a religious outsider and a social disaster, a celebrity preacher and an establishment darling, unable to confine himself to a single identity. Donne's intellectual pursuits included law, sea adventures, political involvement, priesthood, and the prestigious position of Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. However, his greatest legacy lies in his unparalleled status as the greatest love poet in the English language.
In her book, Super-Infinite, Katherine Rundell delves into the diverse aspects of Donne's extraordinary life, exploring his obsessions, powerful words, and the tumultuous Elizabethan era. Through this comprehensive portrayal, Rundell unveils Donne not only as a remarkable mind but also as a valuable lesson in living.
