The Stallybrass Prize is awarded to the best essays in the study of material texts, one by an undergraduate and one by a graduate student. The committee received many excellent essays this year in both categories. The submissions this year demonstrated more than ever the huge range of the study of material texts at Penn.
Graduate category:
A dazzling tour through 2,000 years of audacious utopian thinking and experiments, exploring better ways to arrange our daily lives, plus a globetrotting jaunt to the communities already putting these seemingly fanciful visions into practice today.
