About

Every other year, the Modernist Studies Association seeks nominations for its Edition, Anthology, or Essay Collection Prize, awarded to a work published in the previous two years. A panel of judges determines the work that made the most significant contribution to modernist studies. A book first published in another year will not be eligible for the prize. This exclusion applies even if a new edition (paperback or revised, for example) was published in the award year.

Please visit our Nominations in spring 2025 to recommend a book for the next prize (for books published in 2023 and 2024). Visit our Archive to see previous winners.
