In 2001, the George Sand Association created the Janis M. Glasgow Memorial Prize to honor the memory of Janis Glasgow, whose 1966 dissertation, “Psychological Realism in George Sand’s Early Novels,” represents one of the first scholarly studies of Sand in North America. In 2004, the GSA voted to change the name of the award to the GSA Memorial Prize to honor all pioneering Sand scholars now deceased.
Pour honorer la mémoire de Janis M. Glasgow, dont la thèse, “Psychological Realism in George Sand’s Early Novels” (1966), fut l’une des premières études sur Sand en Amérique du Nord, l’Association George Sand avait créé en 2001 le prix de la meilleure thèse de doctorat consacrée à George Sand. Ce prix a été transformé en 2004 en « GSA Memorial Prize » pour honorer tous les collègues disparus qui ont consacré leur recherche à George Sand.
