VOTE, VOTE, VOTE FOR ANTIGONE (AND FOR ME)

A pleasant surprise: My essay on ‘Antigone Across the Ages’ has been nominated for the 2012 3QD Arts and Literature Blog Prize. The full list of nominations is here. The field of 62 entries will be winnowed down to 20 by a public vote. The 20 then get narrowed to six by 3QD editors. And from the six the judge Gish Jen chooses the top three. So do vote for me (the nominations are in alphabetical order of blog name, so my essay on Antigone languishes half way  down the list under ‘Pandaemonium’). Voting is only open till 6 March. Last year my essay on ‘Rethinking the Idea of “Christian Europe”‘ won the 3QD Politics and Social Science prize. So, who knows?
