The Renaissance Society of America is pleased to announce the recipients of the RSA awards and prizes for 2021–22. These scholars will be honored at the Society’s online Awards Ceremony in late spring 2022. All RSA members will receive an announcement of the date and time, and are invited to join that Zoom event.
The RSA’s Paul Oskar Kristeller Lifetime Achievement Award honors a lifetime of uncompromising devotion to the highest standard of scholarship accompanied by exceptional achievement in Renaissance studies. The RSA Board of Directors is delighted to announce that the recipient of the Paul Oskar Kristeller Award for 2022 is Anne Lake Prescott, Senior Scholar and Emerita Helen Goodhart Altschul Professor of English at Barnard College.
The honor of presenting the RSA’s Josephine Waters Bennett Lecture at the Annual Meeting to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico in March 2023, has been conferred on Rolena Adorno, Sterling Professor Emerita of Spanish at Yale University.
The RSA awards the Phyllis Goodhart Gordan Book Prize for the best book in Renaissance studies. The recipient of the 2022 Gordan Prize, for a book published between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2020, is Christopher J. Nygren, Associate Professor in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture at the University of Pittsburgh, for Titian’s Icons: Tradition, Charisma, and Devotion in Renaissance Italy (Penn State University Press, 2020).
We hope you will join us online on spring 2022 as we honor the recipients of these awards and prizes, as well as the recipients of RSA research fellowships, recognized here on the RSA website. Congratulations to all of our winners!
