News of Authors: Nuacht faoi Udair

Each year, the editors of New Hibernia Review select the outstanding learned essay to have appeared in the previous year's volume to receive the Roger McHugh Prize. The prize is named for the late Roger McHugh, first professor of Anglo-Irish Literature at University College, Dublin, (UCD), and includes a $300 cash award. The award is funded in part by the office of Dr Hugh Brady, president of UCD, and by the generosity of Dr. Maureen Murphy of Hofstra University. We are delighted to announce that the ninth prize has been presented to Dr. B. Mairéad Pratschske of Auburn University, for her article "A Look at Irish-Ireland: Gael Linn's Amarch Eireann Films, 1956–64." Pratschke's article appeared in volume 9, number 3 (Autumn, 2005).
