项目摘要

This project will make a major contribution to the study of how the history of Wales has been written by providing the first intellectual biography of a seminal scholar, namely Sir John Edward Lloyd (1861-1947). Lloyd is widely regarded as the founder of the modern academic study of Welsh history, a field which he dominated for over fifty years during his lifetime and whose work on medieval Wales remains influential today. The project is timely, as it coincides with the centenary of Lloyd's most important work, A History of Wales from the Earliest Times to the Edwardian Conquest, which was published in two volumes in 1911. The research will look at Lloyd's multiple contexts and analyse what these reveal about the significance of his work. Some of these contexts are particular to Wales: most notably, the cultural and educational revival of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods and its associated political movements, previous Welsh historiography, and other scholarship focused on the Welsh past. However, Lloyd was strongly influenced by, and bears comparison with, broader developments in scholarship, not only in the writing of history - especially national history based on 'scientific' principles - but also in related fields such as Celtic studies, archaeology and anthropology. The project will investigate how Lloyd sought to create a new past for the Wales of his day, and how this was part of a wider story of intellectual and scholarly renewal, with parallels elsewhere in Britain and in Europe. To achieve its aims, the book will combine close examination of aspects of Lloyd's work and career with contextualization of his life and intellectual achievements, and draw on a wide and varied range of archival and printed sources in both English and Welsh. Archival sources include Lloyd's extensive papers at Bangor (e.g. c.2,500 letters received by Lloyd, often containing a note of his reply, his research notes, unpublished lectures, and diaries 1876-7 and 1881-1947), letters from Lloyd in the archives of his correspondents, and contextual material (e.g. the Longman archive for arrangements regarding the publication of the 1911 History). Printed sources include Lloyd's publications from his student days at Aberystwyth and Oxford onwards, other writings which influenced Lloyd or illuminate his work, and relevant modern scholarship on the historical, historiographical and intellectual context. In Part I, contextualization will focus on reconstructing the various milieux of Lloyd's life (e.g. Victorian Liverpool and its Welsh-language culture, Oxford in the 1880s, educational and cultural movements in late nineteenth- and earlier twentieth-century Wales). This in turn will provide essential background for Part II, which will analyse intellectual and scholarly influences on, and parallels with, Lloyd's writings.The volume will break new ground as the first book-length study of a modern historian of Wales, and thus make a major contribution to the study of Welsh history writing. In addition, it will provide a case study of how the past of a small, stateless nation was reconfigured, at a time of national revival, through using modern 'scientific' scholarship that served to legitimize a new narrative of national origins. It will therefore offer a fresh and distinctive perspective on issues of broad significance in modern European historiography and intellectual history.

该项目将通过提供一个开创性的学者，即约翰·爱德华·劳埃德爵士（1861-1947）的第一本知识分子传记，为威尔士历史的研究做出重大贡献。劳埃德被广泛认为是威尔士历史现代学术研究的奠基人，在他的一生中，他主导了这个领域50多年，他对中世纪威尔士的研究至今仍有影响力。这个项目很及时，因为它恰逢劳埃德最重要的著作《从早期到爱德华七世征服的威尔士史》出版一百周年，该书于1911年以两卷本的形式出版。这项研究将着眼于劳埃德的多重背景，并分析这些背景揭示了他的工作的重要性。其中一些背景是威尔士特有的：最值得注意的是，维多利亚晚期和爱德华时代的文化和教育复兴及其相关的政治运动，以前的威尔士史学，以及其他关注威尔士过去的学术研究。然而，劳埃德受到学术领域更广泛发展的强烈影响，并与之相比较，不仅在历史写作方面——尤其是基于“科学”原则的国家历史——而且在凯尔特研究、考古学和人类学等相关领域。该项目将调查劳埃德如何为他那个时代的威尔士创造一个新的过去，以及这是如何成为更广泛的知识和学术复兴故事的一部分，与英国和欧洲其他地方的相似之处。为了实现它的目标，这本书将结合劳埃德的工作和职业方面的密切检查与他的生活和智力成就的背景化，并借鉴了广泛而多样的档案和印刷来源在英语和威尔士语。档案来源包括劳埃德在班戈的大量文件（例如，劳埃德收到的大约2500封信，通常包含他的回复，他的研究笔记，未发表的演讲，1876年至1881年至1947年的日记），劳埃德在他的通讯员档案中的信件，以及背景材料（例如，关于出版1911年历史的朗曼档案）。印刷资料包括劳埃德在阿伯里斯特威斯和牛津大学的学生时代出版的出版物，其他影响劳埃德或阐明他的作品的著作，以及有关历史、史学和知识背景的现代学术研究。在第一部分中，语境化将侧重于重建劳埃德生活的各种环境（例如维多利亚时代的利物浦及其威尔士语文化，19世纪80年代的牛津，19世纪末和20世纪初威尔士的教育和文化运动）。这反过来将为第二部分提供必要的背景，第二部分将分析对劳埃德著作的智力和学术影响以及与之相似之处。该卷将开辟新天地，作为威尔士现代历史学家的第一本书长度的研究，从而使威尔士历史写作的研究作出重大贡献。此外，它还将提供一个案例研究，说明在民族复兴时期，一个小的、无国籍的国家的过去是如何被重新配置的，通过使用现代“科学”学术来使民族起源的新叙述合法化。因此，它将为现代欧洲史学和思想史上具有广泛意义的问题提供一个新鲜而独特的视角。
