Congratulations to Mary Franklin-Brown:
The American Comparative Literature Association has awarded the 2103 Harry Levin Prize to Mary Franklin-Brown, Associate Professor in French and Italian, for her book Reading the World: Encyclopedic Writing in the Scholastic Age (University of Chicago).
The 2013 Levin prize distinguishes the best first book in comparative
literature published in 2010-2012. The prize committee praised the book
for being "impressively textured and detailed in its historical
scholarship, and at the same time for posing urgent questions that have
resonated across the centuries into our own internet era."
