Deadline: 1 November 2010
Eligibility
New manuscripts
Any unpublished, book-length manuscript in English. The author may be of any nationality. Only manuscripts that are not under review elsewhere will be considered.
Translation candidates
Books published since July 2008 in a European language may be submitted. The author must ascertain that English-language rights are available from the original publisher and that rights will not be assigned to another publisher while the work is under review for this award.
We invite submissions for the Walker Cowen Memorial Prize. The prize is awarded to the author of a scholarly book-length manuscript in eighteenth-century studies, including the Americas and the Atlantic world. Submissions may be in history (including history of science), literature, philosophy, or the arts. The competition is held annually.
The winner of the Cowen Prize will receive a $5,000 award and will be offered an advance publishing contract by the University of Virginia Press. The prize honors the late Walker Cowen, second Director of the Press from 1969 until his death in 1987.
