Refrain, Again: The Return of the Villanelle. Committee: Stephen Cushman (director), Mark Edmundson, Lisa Russ Spaar, Mary McKinley.

This extensively researched literary history of the villanelle argues that even fixed poetic forms have remarkably fluid rules and meanings. Central to the work is the unexpected revelation that the villanelle is not a French Renaissance form, as it is now commonly said to be; the villanelle form was born in 1844 and has been practiced almost exclusively in English. Discussing poetry in French and English from the Renaissance to the twenty-first century, from Jean Passerat to Elizabeth Bishop and beyond, this study is a geneaology of the past lives of a highly contemporary poetic form.
