Fallows book selected for international award

A monograph by professor of romance languages and associate dean in the Franklin College Noel Fallows has been selected for the prestigious La corónica International Book Award:

La corónica is a refereed journal published every spring and fall by the Modern Language Association's Division on Medieval Hispanic Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. It publishes groundbreaking articles written in English or Spanish on topics in medieval Spanish cultural studies, literature, and historical linguistics. Devoted to Hispanomedievalism in its broadest sense, La corónica also welcomes scholarship that transcends the linguistic and/or cultural borders of Spanish and explores the interconnectedness of those languages and cultures that coexisted in medieval Iberia.

Fallows' book, Jousting in Medieval and Renaissance Iberia is "a handsomely produced and beautifully illustrated book" that "through a thoughtful deployment of texts and images, takes us into the complex social and cultural world of late medieval and early modern chivalry." (The Medieval Review)

Associate dean Fallows was also recently elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. Fallows reports that it has been a career-long ambition to be invited to join the SAL, which is very estimed in Bristich scholarly circles though has few 'foreign' Fellows. Congratulations to Fallows on these terrific awards honoring his scholarship and writing.
