The Research Society for Victorian Periodicals is very pleased to announce the first winners of the annual Robert Colby Scholarly Book Prize, awarded for a work published the preceding year which has made a significant contribution to the study of nineteenth-century periodicals. The prize was made possible by a generous gift by Vineta Colby in honor of Robert Colby, a long and devoted member of RSVP and a major scholar in the field of Victorian periodicals. This year's prize winners are Linda K. Hughes for Graham R.: Rosamund Marriot Watson, Woman of Letters (Athens: Ohio University Press), and Peter Morton for "The Busiest Man in England": Grant Allen and the Writing Trade, 1875–1900 (New York and Houndsmills: Palgrave [End Page 449] Macmillan). If you publish a book in 2006 that you would like to have considered for the 2007 Robert Colby Scholarly Book Prize, please send the information to Anne Humpherys, ahumpherys@gc.cuny.edu.
