—

Please consider submitting articles or chapters on the works of Herman Melville for consideration for the Hennig Cohen Prize; you are also welcome to nominate articles and chapters by others. The nominated essay, article, or book chapter should have been published in 2022, and preference is given to newer scholars in the field of Melville studies. 

Since 1998, the Melville Society has honored the memory of Professor Hennig Cohen with an annual award for the best article, book chapter, or essay in a book about Herman Melville. In addition to his founding roles in the American Studies Association, American Quarterly, and the Melville Society, the late Hennig Cohen (1919-96) was a dedicated teacher, scholar, and modern editor of Herman Melville's works.

Please send submissions and nominations by September 30, 2023 to: HennigCohenPrize@gmail.com. Please attach the piece to be considered as a PDF to the email.

Questions about submissions should be directed to Justine Murison jmurison@illinois.edu.
