Accolades: Mark Blackwell

Mark Blackwell, associate professor of English and chair of the English Department in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been awarded the 2004-05 James L. Clifford Prize for an article entitled “'Extraneous Bodies:' The Contagion of Live-Tooth Transplantation in Late-Eighteenth-Century England.”

Conferred by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, the prize honors an outstanding study of some aspect of eighteenth-century culture, interesting to any eighteenth-century specialist, regardless of discipline.

Much of the research for Blackwell's essay was supported by a Greenberg Junior Faculty Research Grant.
