Rundell is also the author of a book for adults, Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise. Her bestselling books for children have been translated into more than 30 languages and have won multiple awards. Katherine Rundell is a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, where she works on Renaissance literature. Standout scholar Katherine Rundell shows readers the many sides of his life, his obsessions, his blazing words, and his tempestuous Elizabethan times - unveiling Donne as the most remarkable mind and as a lesson in living.

He was a scholar of law, a maritime adventurer, an MP, a priest, the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral - and perhaps the greatest love poet in the history of the English language. Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne gives readers a window into the little-known myriad lives the poet John Donne lived. The announcement was streamed to readers around the world via the Baillie Gifford Prize social media channels. The winner was announced by Chair of Judges Caroline Sanderson at a ceremony hosted at the Science Museum and generously supported by The Blavatnik Family Foundation. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne by Katherine Rundell has been named winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2022.
