According to the judges’ comments:
… George Greenia, Professor of Modern
Languages at the University of William and Mary and former editor of La
corónica … is widely regarded as a model editor. He took a
newsletter and grew it into a full-fledged first-tier journal of international
rank. Huge in its thematic and methodological breadth, this journal of medieval
Spanish Language, Literature, and Cultural Studies received the Phoenix Award
in 1996 and has consistently set new standards for editorial intervention and
invention ever since, especially through the Critical Clusters concept that has
made La corónica an obligatory point of reference.
Our most sincere congratulations to George,
Editor-at-Large of La corónica, for all his untiring work.
