Margaret Church Memorial Prize Winners
1984 - Present
Each year
Modern Fiction Studies presents the Margaret Church Memorial
Prize to an author whose essay was selected as the best in contemporary
scholarship from the previous year's volumes. Each author receives a small cash award and a
certificate. The Church Prize was established in 1984 in memory
of Dr. Church, professor of English and comparative literature
at Purdue University and a longtime editor of this journal.
