Set against the sumptuousness and intrigues of Queen
Elizabeth I’s court, this powerful novel reveals the untold
love affair between the famous poet John Donne and Ann More,
the passionate woman who, against all odds, 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. There she encountered John Donne, the darkly
attractive young poet who was secretary to her uncle, the
Lord Keeper of the Great Seal. He was unlike any man she had
ever met—angry, clever, witty, and in her eyes, insufferably
arrogant and careless of women. Yet as they were thrown
together, Donne opened Ann’s eyes to a new world of passion
and sensuality. But John Donne—Catholic by background in an age when it was
deadly dangerous, tainted by an alluring hint of scandal—was
the kind of man her status-conscious father distrusted and
despised. The Lady and the Poet tells the story of the
forbidden love between one of our most admired poets and a
girl who dared to rebel against her family and the
conventions of her time. They gave up everything to be
together and their love knew no bounds.
