• Editor's NoteLouis Round Wilson Prize for 2021
• Reid Barbour

The Editorial Board of Studies in Philology voted at its annual meeting in May 2008 to establish an annual prize of $1000 for the best article published in the journal during the previous year. The prize was named in honor of Louis Round Wilson, whose monograph Chaucer's Relative Constructions appeared as the first issue of Studies in Philology in 1906. Wilson was instrumental in founding and establishing SP, and in helping to ensure that it would have a long and vital future.

The award-winning article for 2021 is Regina Janes's "Lemuel Gulliver, Map-Maker." Published in the fourth number of vol. 118, Janes's study makes the case that Jonathan Swift himself designed the maps and diagrams for Gulliver's Travels. Having shown that we can securely consider these images as part of Swift's canon, Janes unfolds why their authorship matters for an understanding of the work's purpose. The bewildering errors in the maps prove both playful and serious means by which Swift exposes human "desires, dreams, and fantasies in forms that seem almost attainable." We are honored to have published Professor Janes's game-changing, meticulously detailed, and powerful study.

• 2021年路易斯·朗德·威尔逊奖
• 里德巴伯

语言学研究编辑委员会在 2008 年 5 月的年度会议上投票决定设立 1000 美元的年度奖金，用于奖励上一年在该期刊上发表的最佳文章。该奖项是为了纪念路易斯·朗德·威尔逊（Louis Round Wilson）而命名的，他的专着乔叟的相对结构于 1906 年作为第一期《语言学研究》出现。威尔逊在创立和建立SP方面发挥了重要作用，并帮助确保它具有长期而重要的地位未来。

2021 年的获奖文章是 Regina Janes 的“Lemuel Gulliver, Map-Maker”。发表于第 4 卷。118，简斯的研究表明乔纳森斯威夫特自己为格列佛游记设计了地图和图表。在证明我们可以安全地将这些图像视为斯威夫特经典的一部分后，简斯揭示了为什么他们的作者身份对于理解作品的目的很重要。地图中令人眼花缭乱的错误证明了斯威夫特以有趣和严肃的方式揭示了人类“几乎可以实现的欲望、梦想和幻想”。我们很荣幸能发表 Janes 教授的颠覆性、细致入微且功能强大的研究。
