Particularly as a fan of John Donne I loved this in depth exchange with #katherinerundell

Listening to the audiobook of the excellent, razor-sharp biog of John Donne, Super-Infinite by Katherine Rundell, and astonished to discover that among many other coinages Donne invented the word 'emancipation'. Poets really are something more than the legislators of mankind.

Also amused as someone who works at Newbattle to recall that the really famous Lothian portrait of Donne was misattributed to John Duns Scotus until the 1950s! Whoops.

Roof-walking: among the hobbies of Katherine Rundell, youngest winner of the Baillie Gifford prize for her biography of “poet of desire” John Donne. Here she is atop All Souls, Oxford.
