Linda Wagner-Martin, the Frank Borden Hanes Professor of English and Comparative Literature Emeritus in UNC\u2019s College of Arts and Sciences, received a lifetime achievement award in American literary studies.<\/p>\n

The Jay B. Hubbell Medal for Lifetime Achievement in American Literary Studies was presented on Jan. 6 at the Modern Language Association meeting in Seattle.<\/p>\n

The Hubbell award is given each year \u201cto a scholar who has made an extraordinary contribution to the study of American literature over the course of his or her career.\u201d Wagner-Martin is cited as being \u201ca pioneer, a standard-setter and an exemplar for more than a half century.\u201d<\/p>\n

William Andrews, senior associate dean for the fine arts and humanities, presented the award to Wagner-Martin.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an editor, she has also been extraordinarily productive, having published 26 edited essay collections, bibliographies and reviews of scholarship,\u201d he said. “When I reflect on the fact that Linda has published an average of one book per year for the last half century, I don\u2019t know what to admire more \u2014 the creativity or the stamina.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wagner-Martin has been honored with other awards and recognitions, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a senior fellow at the National Endowment for the Humanities.<\/p>\n

She has edited or written 50 books, including biographies on Sylvia Plath, Gertrude Stein, Ellen Glasgow, Barbara Kingsolver and Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. She has also co-edited the Oxford Companion to Women\u2019s Writing in the United States<\/em> and its accompanying anthology\u00a0<\/em>with Cathy N. Davidson.<\/p>\n

In April 2011, more than 100 of Wagner-Martin\u2019s former graduate students returned to Chapel Hill to host an academic conference in her honor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
