Congratulations to Dame Hermione Lee, winner of the 2020 BIO Award

The Biographers International Organization (BIO) recently announced that Dame Hermione Lee, Professor Emeritus of English Literature, University of Oxford, had won the 11th BIO Award. This prize is bestowed yearly by BIO to a distinguished colleague who has made a major contribution to the advancement of the art and craft of biography. 
 
One of the leading literary scholars and critics of our time, Lee is best known for her Virginia Woolf (1996), widely considered the definitive biography of that author. The book won the British Academy’s Rose Mary Crawshay Prize.
