Jules and Frances Landry Awards
The Jules and Frances Landry Award is presented annually
to the LSU Press book published during the year which, in
the judgment of the Press, constitutes the most outstanding
achievement in the field of southern studies. From the first
Landry Award winner—George Brown Tindall’s classic
Emergence of the New South, 1913-1945 (1968)—to the
most recent, the recipients of the Landry Award have all made
significant contributions to scholarship on the American South.
Jules and Frances Landry, both graduates of the LSU Law School,
practiced law in Baton Rouge for more than fifty years. They
shared a keen interest in the history and culture of the South,
and the Landry Award is a continuing expression of that interest.
The prize is funded from an endowment the Landrys established
specifically for that purpose, and includes a monetary award
of $1500 for each winning author. |
