The winning essay will be published in Intellectual History Review.
The quality of submissions was high this year. So the panel of judges also wish to commend the proxime accessit, Bennett A. Nagtegaal of Princeton University, for his essay ‘Ernst Kantorowicz’s Wartime Lectures: Reconsidering the Debate over Intellectual Change’.
