Deadline March 01, 2020

Website

The Committee on Honors and Awards of the Modern Language Association invites authors to compete for the fifty-first annual James Russell Lowell Prize, which will be awarded for a scholarly book published in 2019 by a current member of the association. To qualify for the prize, a book must be an outstanding literary or linguistic study or a critical biography. Studies dealing with literary theory, media, cultural history, and interdisciplinary topics are eligible; books that are primarily translations will not be considered. The prize, which consists of a cash award and a certificate, will be presented to the winning author at the association's annual convention in January 2021.
