The prize is given each year to a book that makes a significant contribution to modernist studies. The recipient will receive $1000 plus up to $500 toward travel expenses to the 2008 MSA conference, where the award will be presented. Honorable mentions, should the committee decide to confer them, will receive recognition and $150 each. This year, the committee chair is Michael Coyle, Past President of the MSA. The other members are Deborah Parsons (University of Birmingham) and John Xiros Cooper (University of British Columbia). ======================== To nominate your own book, send a message to Michael Coyle (mcoyle@mail.colgate.edu ) as soon as possible and then contact your publisher to ask that a copy of your book be sent to each of the three committee members, at the following addresses: Prof. Michael Coyle Dept. of English Colgate University 13 Oak Drive Hamilton, NY 13346 USA Prof. Deborah Parsons Dept. of English Univ. of Birmingham Birmingham B 15 2TT UK Prof. John Xiros Cooper Dept. of English UBC 1873 East Mall Vancouver, British Columbia Canada V6T 1Z1 Please let your publisher know that books should be received by committee members no later than 15 May. Books arriving after that date may be considered for the prize but are not guaranteed consideration. ***** To nominate someone else's book, send a message to the Prize Committee chair, Michael Coyle (mcoyle@mail.colgate.edu ) by no later than Monday, 27 April. The Committee will then request copies of the book from the publisher. The author need not be a member of the MSA. ***** Please note that self-nomination is strongly encouraged, as it saves a step in the process and helps assure timely receipt of books. Whether a book is nominated by the author or by someone else plays no role in the Committee's deliberations. Please note also that books must have a publication date of 2008. A book first published in another year will not be eligible for the prize. This exclusion applies even if 2007 saw the release of a new edition (paperback or revised, for example) of the book in question. ======================== From dchinit at luc.edu Sun Feb 8 15:33:03 2009 From: dchinit at luc.edu (David Chinitz) Date: Sun Feb 8 15:33:17 2009 Subject: [Msa-members] T.
