The Langum Project For Historical
Literature Prize Winners Ceremony
(March)
David J.
Langum, Sr. founded the
Langum Project for
Historical Literature in 2001 out of a conviction that
far too many historians today write only for each other, and
that there is a need to make the rich history of America, in
both her colonial and national periods, accessible to the
educated general public. It seeks to encourage this sort of
writing by awarding two annual prizes of $1,000 apiece for
the best books published by university or small presses in
the category of American historical fiction ("both excellent
fiction and excellent history that to some extent delineates
between the two") and in the category of American legal
history or legally related biography ("rooted in sound
scholarship, accessible to the education general reader, and
with themes that touch upon matters of general concern to
the American public, past or present").
Local
Authors Expo is sponsored by the
Friends of the Birmingham Public
Library and provides an opportunity for local authors to sell and
autograph their books. Included will be both adult and juvenile fiction
and nonfiction titles. |
