We warmly congratulate our student Jessica König and happily announce her paper "Nature and its 'Larger, Darker, Deeper Part' – Negotiating Transcendentalism in Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick" as the winner of the Essay Prize for Papers in English and American Literatures 2023!

Ms. König's paper "Nature and its 'Larger, Darker, Deeper Part' – Negotiating Transcendentalism in Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick"" has been selected in a blind review process for its excellent analysis of the novel's resistance to "absolute interpretation".
