Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures

Competition in 2009 for Books Published in 2007 or 2008

Open to Members and Nonmembers of the Association

The Committee on Honors and Awards of the Modern Language Association invites authors to compete for the eighth Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures, awarded biennially for an outstanding scholarly work on the linguistics or literatures of the Slavic languages. The prize is awarded each odd-numbered year. For the competition in 2009, the committee solicits submissions of books published in 2007 or 2008. Works of literary history, literary criticism, philology, and literary theory are eligible for consideration; books that are primarily translations will not be considered. The Scaglione Prize for Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures, which consists of $2,000 and a certificate, will be presented to the winning author at the association's annual convention in December 2009.

To enter a book into the competition, authors or publishers should send four copies to the Scaglione Prize for Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures, Modern Language Association, 26 Broadway, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10004-1789. Entries may be sent at any time but must be received by 1 May 2009. Publishers may enter more than one title, but no book may compete for more than one MLA prize. Shipping labels should indicate the names of the prizes for which the books are competing. For further information, call or write the Office of Special Projects, Modern Language Association (646 576-5141; awards@mla.org).
