Reviews
The great achievement of Hadfield's book, and what sets it apart, is how convincingly it connects the seemingly disparate strands of Donne's life and work-his lifelong struggle with matters of the soul, his paradoxical erotic and religious poetry, his marriage, his friendships, his sermons-allowing us to see above all Donne the brilliant and restless thinker. -- James Shapiro, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare Hadfield's exemplary study of John Donne-a notoriously 'difficult' writer-is lucid and informative, yet always ready to probe towards new interpretations. Exploring lesser-known corners of Donne's extensive output, he celebrates the 'capacious and interconnected' imagination of this complex, charismatic figure. -- Charles Nicholl, author of The Lodger: Shakespeare on Silver Street
