This prize is awarded for a book in the field of French studies, published for the first time in the previous calendar year, by a scholar based in an institution of higher education in the United Kingdom or Ireland. The award is made in December of each year.

The winning book is chosen from among all those received by French Studies for review. Authors of forthcoming or recently published books are therefore encouraged to ensure that their publishers include French Studies on their list for review copies.
The award consists of a £2,000 cash prize and expenses-paid travel to the next annual conference of the Society for French Studies. In addition, the award is publicised in French Studies, in the French Studies Bulletin, and here on the Society's website (www.sfs.ac.uk).
