Wylie Prize in French Cultural Studies (2008-09)Created
in 1995 to honor the memory of Laurence Wylie, Professor of French Civilization
at Harvard University, the Laurence Wylie Prize in French Cultural Studies is
awarded every second year to the best book in French social or cultural
studies. Nominated books must be
scholarly essays dealing with French society or culture concerning any
historical period. While fiction and literary
criticism are excluded, nominated books may combine literature with other

English or French, but the author must reside in North America. The
next Wylie Prize will be awarded to a book published in 2008 or 2009. The deadline for submissions is January 30,
2010. The prize will be announced in the
spring of 2010 and awarded at NYU the following fall. Presses may submit more than one book. For further inquiries, please contact the
