George L. Mosse Prize in European Intellectual and Cultural History

The American Historical Association awards the George L. Mosse Prize annually for an outstanding major work of extraordinary scholarly distinction, creativity, and originality in the intellectual and cultural history of Europe since 1500. This prestigious book prize recognizes outstanding published scholarship in the field of European intellectual and cultural history. Books must demonstrate exceptional research accuracy, originality, and literary merit. The prize was established with funds donated by former students, colleagues, and friends of Dr. George L. Mosse, who was Bascom-Weinstein Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and authored influential works on German ideology, European racism, nationalism, and modern masculinity. Recipients are announced annually and recognized during a ceremony at the AHA annual meeting.
