Congratulations to Max Edelson, whose book The New Map of Empire: How Britain Imagined America before Independence has been named a finalist for the 2018 George Washington Prize! This award is given every year to the author of the past year’s best-written work on the nation’s founding era, focusing especially on books that have the potential to advance broad public understanding of early American history.
Prof. Edelson's book is one of seven finalists for the George Washington Prize. The winner of the award will be announced, and all finalists recognized, at a black-tie gala on May 23, 2018 at George Washington’s Mount Vernon.
