Jonathan Eburne has won the prestigious James Russell Lowell Prize from the Modern Language Association
Jonathan Eburne has won the prestigious James Russell Lowell Prize from the Modern Language Association for his monograph Outsider Theory: Intellectual Histories of Unorthodox Ideas, published in 2018 by the University of Minnesota Press. Outsider Theory traces the history of "bad" ideas as a way of helping make sense of our present moment. The prize committee's citation lauds Outsider Theory as "an original and extremely erudite book with a fresh perspective on a wide range of movements, texts, and ideas that fall outside traditional investigations of intellectual histories." A link to the MLA's press release announcing the prize can be found here. Congratulations, Jonathan!
