Making Nominations for the MLA Award for Lifetime Scholarly Achievement

First presented in 1996 and scheduled to be presented every three years thereafter, this award honors the lifetime scholarly achievement of a distinguished member of the association. The next award will be presented in 2008. The Committee on Honors and Awards will review suggestions from members for recipients of the award and will recommend names for consideration by the Executive Council. All suggestions, endorsements, and solicitations of comment on persons proposed for the award will be strictly confidential.

Members who would like to recommend individuals for consideration by the Committee on Honors and Awards should write letters that include the full name and mailing address of the proposed candidate, a list of the candidate's major works, a bibliography of major reviews or assessments of the candidate's works, a statement of three hundred words or less commenting on the candidate's achievements, and three letters of support from current MLA members. Letters should be addressed to the Committee on Honors and Awards and must arrive at the headquarters office by 31 January 2008.
