The Miscellaneous Early Diaries of Henry Crabb Robinson

本更新提案的主要目标是确定学术版《亨利·克拉布·罗宾逊的早期日记》(牛津：牛津大学出版社，2020年)的事实准确性。根据我最初的提议和OUP的规定，到目前为止，我已经制作了这个版本的运行文本的完整第二稿，其中包括广泛的初步注释。然而，这些日记中遇到的细节的复杂性大大超出了我的预期，以及罗宾逊项目背后的系列编辑们的预期(www.Crabbrobinson.co.uk)。为了验证罗宾逊所提到的尽可能多的人物、地点和文学作品，还需要大量的进一步的实证工作。这一点特别重要，因为罗宾逊的跨国朋友和熟人网络是浪漫主义时期最大的网络之一，包括许多不同程度受欢迎的作家，他也经常阅读和讨论他们的作品。在这一核实过程中，我将解决剩余的编辑问题，这些问题主要是由于鲁滨逊的日记做法在1790年至1810年之间的变化--特别是与许多用德语写成的大量段落有关的问题，这些段落的翻译对说英语的观众来说是易懂的，以及关于原始段落和翻译的注释的最经济和最清晰的放置。除此之外，我还打算出版一本学术专著(题为《亨利·克拉布·罗宾逊与欧洲浪漫主义：批评家、比较主义、文学家，1790-1811年》)，这本专著以我的博士论文为基础，并通过我对罗宾逊早期日记的持续研究而得到证实。这本专著的研究已经完成，已经起草了三章，我已经向OUP提交了图书提案。

The primary objective of the present renewal proposal is the ascertainment of factual accuracy across the scholarly edition entitled "The Early Diaries of Henry Crabb Robinson" (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020). In line with my original proposal and OUP’s stipulations, I have so far produced a complete second draft of this edition’s running text that encompasses wide-ranging preliminary annotations. The complexity of the details encountered in these diaries, however, has significantly exceeded my expectations, as well as those of the Series Editors behind the Robinson Project (www.crabbrobinson.co.uk). A considerable amount of further empirical work is required in order to verify the greatest possible number of people, places, and works of literature mentioned by Robinson. This is of particular importance since Robinson’s transnational network of friends and acquaintances is among the largest of the Romantic period, including many authors of varying degrees of popularity whose works he also frequently read and discussed. Alongside this verification process, I shall resolve the remaining editorial issues that owe primarily to the variations in Robinson’s diary-keeping practice between 1790 and 1810 – in particular those issues relating to the many substantial passages written in German, the accessibility of their translations for an English-speaking audience, as well as the most economic and yet lucid placing of annotations with respect to both the original passage and its translation. In addition to this, I also intend to publish an academic monograph (entitled "Henry Crabb Robinson and European Romanticism: Critic, Comparatist, Literator, 1790–1811") that is based on my doctoral thesis, and which has been substantiated through my on-going work on Robinson’s early diaries. The research for this monograph is complete, three chapters have been drafted, and I have submitted the book proposal to OUP.
