Jane Costlow, associate professor of Russian at Bates College, has won the 1997 Heldt Prize for best essay in Slavic women's studies. The award is given annually by the Association of Women in Slavic Studies. Costlow's essay, The Gallop, the Wolf, the Caress: Eros and Nature in 'The Tragic Menagerie', explores Lydia Zinovieava-Annibal's 1907 autobiographical novel, an account of childhood in Russia just before the revolution. The author was a turn-of-the-century writer married to the famous poet Ivanov.
