We are delighted to congratulate our first-year doctoral student, Noémi Gudor, who has been awarded the Hopp Lajos Prize of the Institute for Literary Studies of ELTE HTK for her study entitled Spatial Constructions of Variants of Hungarian Horror Stories. The Hopp Lajos Prize recognizes the outstanding achievements of early-career young researchers — undergraduate, master’s, or doctoral students — who have attained significant results in exploring eighteenth-century Hungarian and international literary, intellectual, or cultural history. Established in 2016 by the Eighteenth-Century Department of the Institute for Literary Studies of the Research Centre for the Humanities of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the prize commemorates Hopp Lajos, one of the most distinguished scholars of the period. Applications for the prize are submitted in the form of a study of approximately one author’s sheet in length.
