The journal of Early American Literature is seeking nominations for the 2022 Early American Literature Book Prize. The Book Prize is offered in collaboration with the University of North Carolina Press, the Society of Early Americanists, and the MLA’s Forum on Early American Literature.
The EAL Book Prize is awarded in even calendar years to a first monograph, and in odd years to a second or subsequent book. The prize is accompanied by a $2,000 cash award.
Do let us know if you have a first-time monograph published in 2020 or 2021 which focuses on early American literature broadly conceived. Additionally, we are always accepting nominations for future awards, so please send any recommendations for the 2023 or 2024 Book Prize.
Please send your nominations by email to EAL’s assistant editor at alex.gergely@uky.edu.
The deadline is March 15th, 2022.
