Samuel ’60 and Ronnie ’72 Heyman Prize

The Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Prize recognizes outstanding scholarly publications or research by a ladder faculty member in the humanities who is untenured at the time that the work is completed or published.     

Alessandro Giammei, a scholar of Italian literature and culture, was awarded the Heyman Prize in recognition of his new book, “Ariosto in the Machine Age.” In this book, he deftly traces the genealogy of Italian modernism, moving agilely across periods and genres to offer a model for the field of reception studies.
