The Monroe Kirk Spears Award
is presented annually
to honor the distinguished and humane career of
the late Professor Monroe K. Spears,
sometime editor of the Sewanee Review and
Libbie Shearn Moody Professor Emeritus
at Rice University.
Because everything Professor Spears wrote is marked by
clarity, economy, and felicity of expression
and by elegant and discerning interpretation,
the award recognizes the essay published in each
volume of SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
that most nearly achieves these qualities and
that has given the editors the greatest pleasure to read.
Volume 42 Award Recipient—Jack Lynch
The endowment to support this award
has been generously provided by
the Hobby Family Foundation.
