Le Prix Chartier

A prize for studies in nineteenth-century French literature has been founded by Daniel Lemaire, president and director general of the famed Bouillon Chartier. It is administered by a group of nineteenth-century scholars.
Each year, the society awards the prize to a scholar, "indépendant d'esprit, exprimant en historien sa vision originale d'un écrivain et de son oeuvre, sans concession aux préjugés et aux modes idéologiques ou méthodologiques de notre temps. Il peut s'agir d'une biographie, de l'édition critique d'une oeuvre, d'un recueil de correspondances, d'inédits, d'une bibliographie, d'un catalogue d'exposition; enfin, de tout document d'histoire littéraire." The study must be in French.
