  2. Thomas Moser, “Chaucer and Neoplatonism”

  4. Orrin Wang, “Romantic Sobriety:  Sensation, Revolution, and Commmodification in the Romantic Imaginary”
  5. Mary Helen Washington, “The Other Black List:  The African American Literary Left on the 1950s”

Please join us in extending a warm congratulations to all five.
