Prize Announcement
The Society of French Studies is delighted to announce the results of the first Malcolm Bowie prize, awarded for the best article in French studies by an early career researcher published in 2007.

Miranda Gill (Cambridge) 'The Myth of the Female Dandy', French Studies 61 (2007), 167-81 Hugh Roberts (Exeter), 'La tête de Bruscambille et les métaphores mentales au début du XVIIe siècle', Revue d'Histoire Littéraire de la France 107 (2007), 541-57 The winners will receive £750 each and will be invited to attend the conference to receive their prize at the Society's expense. In addition, the following were highly commended by the judges: Helen Abbott and David Evans (Bangor and St Andrews) 'Music and Poetry at the Crossroads: Baudelaire, Debussy and "Recueillement"', Dix-neuf 8 (2007), 18-37 (http://www.sdn.ac.uk/dixneuf/index.htm) Carolina Armenteros (Cambridge) 'From Human Nature to Normal Humanity: Joseph de Maistre, Rousseau and the Origins of Moral Statistics', Journal for the History of Ideas 68 (2007), 107-30 Leon Sachs (University of Kentucky) 'Finding l'Ecole Républicaine in the Damnedest of Places: François Bégaudeau's Entre les murs', Yale French Studies 111 (2007), 73-88
The Malcolm Bowie prize will be awarded annually, and is judged by an international panel of five distinguished scholars. This year's panel was composed of Professor Edward Hughes (Queen Mary London), Professor Simon Gaunt (King's College London), Professor Diana Knight (University of Nottingham), Professor Antoine Compagnon (Columbia University and the Collège de France), Professor Alison Finch (Churchill College, Cambridge), and Professor Toril Moi (Duke University). The deadline for next year's prize will be 31 January 2009. For more information
