Salvatore Pappalardo (Department of English) has been named the winner of the Max Kade Prize, given annually for the best scholarly article in German literature and culture studies. Dr. Pappalardo won the prize for his article “The Betrayal of the Urbs Fidelissima: Habsburg Trieste in Robert Musil’s Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften” published in vol. 89.2 (Spring 2016) of the German Quarterly, one of the most prestigious publications in the field of German Studies. The Editorial Board of the journal describes the essay as “an exemplary piece of scholarship; it combines an original and innovative approach with a thorough reading of Musil’s text.” Dr. Pappalardo will be honored at the Awards Presentation of the American Association of Teachers of German in November.
