Description
Set against the sumptuousness and intrigues of Queen Elizabeth I's court, this powerful novel reveals the untold love affair between John Donne and Ann More, the passionate woman who became his wife. Ann More, fiery and spirited daughter of the Mores of Loseley House in Surrey, came to London destined for a life at the court of Queen Elizabeth and an advantageous marriage. She encountered John Donne, secretary to her uncle, the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, a man unlike any she had ever met - angry, clever, witty, and insufferably arrogant. Their love was forbidden, yet they gave up everything to be together, their passion and sensuality opening new horizons for Ann. The Lady and the Poet tells the story of this extraordinary love, set against the backdrop of 17th-century England's treacherous social landscape.
