THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
ANNOUNCES
The Leo Gershoy Award
FOR 2010
In recognition of outstanding historical writing, the American Historical Association offers the Leo Gershoy Award in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century western European history. This award was established in 1975 by a gift from Mrs. Ida Gershoy in memory of her late husband, a specialist in European history. Professor Gershoy was associated with the graduate faculty of New York University for more than twenty-five years.
The prize is awarded annually to the author of the most outstanding work published in English on any aspect of the fields of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century western European history. Only books of high scholarly and literary merit will be considered.
Books published between May 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010, will be eligible for the 2010 award. One copy of each entry (limited to three titles from any one publisher) must be received by each of the following committee members. Entries must be postmarked by or on May 15, 2010 -- late entries will not be considered.
Contact information for judges will be posted by March 30
Please Note: The deadline for submission of entries is May 15, 2010. Entries will not be returned. Recipients will be announced at the January 6-9, 2011 AHA Annual Meeting in Boston.
