He was a scholar of law, a sea 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. Sometime religious outsider and social disaster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, John Donne was incapable of being just one thing. 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. Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne by Katherine Rundell is tonight, Thursday 17 November, named winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2022.
