项目摘要

Recent research I have completed on Classics-informed responses to the 1857 Indian uprising against British rule, and to the campaigns for the abolition of slavery 1770-1865, has revealed that our perception of the historical relationship between Classics and the divisions between citizens on the criterion of social class is badly distorted because the crucial voices--those of the working class--have yet to be heard. Existing studies stress the role played by Classics in social exclusion, notably F. Waquet's 'Le latin, ou L'empire d'un signe' (1998) and C. Stray's fine 'Classics Transformed' (1998), but use only elite sources on intellectual culture and educational policy. My proposed research has the potential to effect a breakthrough. It will identify evidence which challenges the prevailing picture by consulting working-class subjects themselves in the period when class conflict in Britain was most acute and self-conscious.The hypothesis has been informed by the provocative approach to literary communities in J. Boreil (1985, ed.), 'Les Sauvages dans la cité: auto-emancipation du people et instruction des prolétaires au XIXe siècle', and Jonathan Rose's 'The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes' (2001). Although Classics is not the main focus of these studies, they suggest that Greek and Roman authors may have had a greater presence in the memoirs and cultural output of working-class writers than usually supposed. I plan to spend 25% of my work time for 3 years investigating the documents held in collections relating to the British working class, the sheer volume of which makes a full-time Research Assistant essential. S/he must possess expertise in Classics in order to identify responses to Greek and Roman culture. Many materials are by political activists such as leaders of the Co-operative movement, Chartism, and (later) the Independent Labour Party and Social Democratic Federation: my longstanding interest in ancient social class as well as Reception has enabled me to develop techniques for decoding standpoints on social issues, while my interest in Labour movement and adult education history has underpinned my active membership of the WEA. My method will be informed by Sheila Rowbotham's 1981 History Workshop formulation of an identity-based approach to reading the reactions of workers to the acquisition of knowledge in the University Extension movement, Burnett's emphasis on autobiography as a form of self-presentation where honesty may be sacrificed to other motives, and Lenhart's 'The Stamp of Class' (2006); this provides a model for identifying the 'distortion' of working-class subjectivity in texts through generic expectations.I have identified as promising 5 archives in the Greater London area, 12 in the rest of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and 1 in Amsterdam (see Objectives). I am applying for funds to support travel, accommodation and subsistence for myself and my RA for 1 week in those outside London (i.e. for 13 research trips each), and to cover the costs of photocopying, scanning, printing, photography, and output support. Individuals who have agreed to act in the event of an AHRC award as members of an interdisciplinary panel of consultants include John Holford (History of Education), Chris Stray (History of Classical Education), Jonathan Rose (History of the Book), William Feaver (Art Historian and Museum Curator), Adam Roberts (19th-century English Literature) and Jonathan Zeitlin (Labour History and Sociology). I am applying for support of 2x1-day workshops for 8 people, in months 12 and 24, in order to present findings for analysis and feedback. Proposed outputs: a substantial critical edition with Introduction of selected materials, a full online catalogue of the findings, 3 lectures made available to the online community by being uploaded on a dedicated education resource channel e.g. youtube.com.edu, a CD, radio programme and monograph.

我最近完成的关于古典文学对1857年印度反抗英国统治的起义和1770-1865年废除奴隶制运动的反应的研究表明，我们对古典文学之间的历史关系和公民之间以社会阶级为标准的划分的看法被严重扭曲，因为关键的声音-工人阶级的声音-还没有被听到。现有的研究强调了经典在社会排斥中所发挥的作用，特别是F。Waquet的“Le latin，ou L'empire d'un signe”（1998）和C.斯特雷的优秀的“经典转化”（1998年），但只使用精英资源的知识文化和教育政策。我提议的研究有可能带来突破。它将通过在英国阶级冲突最尖锐和最自觉的时期咨询工人阶级主体自己来确定挑战流行图景的证据。这一假设已经被J. Boreil（1985，ed.）“Les Sauvages dans la cité：auto-liberation du people et instruction des prolétaires Au Xixiècle”和Jonathan Rose的“The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes”（2001年）。虽然古典文学不是这些研究的主要焦点，但它们表明，希腊和罗马作家在工人阶级作家的回忆录和文化产出中的存在可能比通常想象的要大。我计划花25%的工作时间为3年调查有关英国工人阶级的收藏品中保存的文件，其数量之大使得全职研究助理必不可少。他/她必须拥有古典文学的专业知识，以确定对希腊和罗马文化的反应。许多材料是由政治活动家，如合作社运动，宪章运动，（后来）独立工党和社会民主联盟的领导人：我长期以来对古代社会阶级的兴趣以及接待使我能够开发解码社会问题立场的技术，而我对劳工运动和成人教育历史的兴趣巩固了我的WEA的积极成员。我的研究方法将借鉴希拉·罗博瑟姆（Sheila Rowbotham）在1981年的历史研讨会上提出的一种基于身份的方法来阅读工人对大学推广运动中知识获取的反应，伯内特（Burnett）强调自传是一种自我展示的形式，在这种形式下，诚实可能会被其他动机所牺牲，以及伦哈特（Lenhart）的《阶级的印记》（The Stamp of Class）（2006）;这提供了一个通过一般期望来识别文本中工人阶级主体性的“扭曲”的模型。我已经确定了大伦敦地区的5个档案馆，英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和爱尔兰其他地区的12个档案馆，以及阿姆斯特丹的1个档案馆（见目标）。我正在申请资金，以支持我和我的RA在伦敦以外的地方旅行一周（即每人13次研究旅行）的旅行、住宿和生活费，并支付复印、扫描、打印、摄影和输出支持的费用。个人谁同意在AHRC奖的跨学科顾问小组的成员的事件中采取行动包括约翰·霍尔福德（教育史），克里斯·斯特雷（古典教育史），乔纳森·罗斯（书的历史），威廉·费弗（艺术史学家和博物馆馆长），亚当·罗伯茨（19世纪英国文学）和乔纳森·泽特林（劳动史和社会学）。我申请支持2x 1天的研讨会为8人，在12个月和24，为了提出调查结果进行分析和反馈.拟议产出：一个实质性的评论版，包括精选材料的介绍、研究结果的完整在线目录、通过上传到专门的教育资源频道（如www.example.com）向在线社区提供的3个讲座youtube.com.edu、一张CD、广播节目和专著。
