Dorothy Richardson Scholarly Editions

多萝西·理查森是20世纪一群改变了散文小说规则的作家之一。与詹姆斯·乔伊斯、马塞尔·普鲁斯特和弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫一起，理查森发明了一种新的写作形式。与普鲁斯特和乔伊斯一样，理查森本可以站在文学革命的最前沿。然而，尽管多萝西·理查森是现代主义散文出现的关键人物，但她的书信集或小说都没有学术版本。这在一定程度上是由于现代主义研究最初忽视了女性作家。然而，随着弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的剑桥学术版现在几乎完成，其他女性现代主义者的版本正在计划中，理查森的作品的版本早就应该了。这个项目将纠正目前文学研究的不平衡，这意味着几乎所有的重点都支持男性作者的学术版本。计划中的理查森版本将由最新的关键和文本编辑标准通知。它们将成为学者和普通读者的标准阅读和研究版本，为公众认识英国的文化遗产和女性作家对现代主义的贡献做出重要贡献。此外，这些版本将为现代主义研究的文本学术做出重要贡献。《书信集》的出版将有助于我们理解书信体网络在现代主义文化形成中的重要性，并确定在这些网络中发挥促进作用的人，如赞助人、代理人、出版商和翻译家。《朝圣》一书的出版将使我们得以重构理查森的写作过程，有助于现代主义文本的发生学研究。这些版本将由一个领先的理查森专家团队编辑，他们已经合作了几年。他们于2007年成立了理查森协会，并组织了两年一度的国际理查森会议，并建立了在线理查森杂志。PI汇编了理查森网站上的资源并编辑了该杂志。劳拉·马库斯是研究理查森的作品与早期电影之间关系的专家。黛博拉·朗沃思是现代主义和城市方面的专家，并发表了关于理查森作为现代主义小说理论家的文章。乔安妮·温宁（Joanne Winning）开创了将《朝圣》重新诠释为萨福现代主义的一个例子的先河，她是女同性恋现代主义网络的专家。该项目建立在著名的理查森学者的工作和支持，谁借给他们的研究材料和建议的编辑团队。在理查森学会成立之前，主要的理查森学者都在远处工作。自2007年以来，对理查森的研究重新成为焦点。编辑团队将为该项目带来精心策划的合作优势，它结合了理查森奖学金的最佳成果。另外三位学者，霍华德芬恩，布莱尼兰德尔和克莱尔德瑞瑞每个人都有特殊的专业知识“朝圣”将有助于特定卷的工作。两个PDRA将在该项目上工作，每个为期30个月：一个关于信件，一个关于小说。一个综合的博士项目将研究现代主义书信网络如何运作，以支持参与现代主义文学创作的妇女。第二个综合博士项目将是“朝圣”的遗传学研究，它将使用信件，笔记，手稿，打字稿，版本及其副文本和副文本来检查产生其各个部分和版本的写作过程。2016年将在基尔大学举行一次关于“现代主义作品中的性别和文本奖学金”的会议。该项目收集的理查森材料将用于创建一个小型巡回展览，并形成一个数字化虚拟展览的基础，将在该项目的网页上托管。

Dorothy Richardson was one of a select group of twentieth-century writers who changed the rules of prose fiction. With James Joyce, Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf, Richardson invented a new form of writing. Alongside Proust and Joyce, Richardson would have been at the forefront of a revolution in literature. However, although Dorothy Richardson was a key figure in the emergence of modernist prose, there are no scholarly editions of her collected correspondence or her fiction. This is in part explained by the initial neglect of women writers in modernist studies. However, with the Cambridge scholarly edition of Virginia Woolf now nearly complete and editions of other women modernists being planned, editions of Richardson's work are long overdue. This project will redress the current imbalance in literary studies, which has meant that almost all the focus has supported scholarly editions of male authors. The planned Richardson editions will be informed by the most up-to-date standards of critical and textual editing. They will become the standard reading and research editions for scholars and the general reader, making a vital contribution to public awareness of Britain's cultural heritage and of the contribution of women writers to modernism. In addition, the editions will make a vital contribution to textual scholarship in modernist studies. The edition of the Letters will contribute to our understanding of the importance of epistolary networks in the emergence of modernist cultural formations, identifying those who played facilitating roles in these networks, such as patrons, agents, publishers, and translators. The edition of 'Pilgrimage' will allow us to reconstruct Richardson's writing process, contributing to genetic studies of modernist texts. The editions will be edited by a team of leading Richardson experts, who have worked together for several years. They founded the Richardson Society in 2007, and have organised the biennial international Richardson conferences, and set up the online Richardson journal. The PI has compiled the resources available on the Richardson website and edits the journal. Laura Marcus is an expert on the relationship between Richardson's work and early film. Deborah Longworth is an expert on modernism and the city and has published on Richardson as a theorist of the modernist novel. Joanne Winning has pioneered the reinterpretation of Pilgrimage as an example of Sapphic modernism and is an expert on lesbian modernist networks. The project builds on the work and support of eminent Richardson scholars, who have lent their research materials and advice to the editorial team. Before the founding of the Richardson Society, the key Richardson scholars worked at a distance. Since 2007, research on Richardson has had a renewed focus. The editorial team will bring to the project the advantages of a carefully planned collaboration, which combines the best of Richardson scholarship.Three additional scholars, Howard Finn, Bryony Randall and Claire Drewery each with particular expertise on 'Pilgrimage' will contribute to the work of particular volumes. Two PDRAs will work on the project for a period of 30 months each: one on the Letters and one on the Fiction. An integrated PhD project will examine how modernist epistolary networks operated to support women involved in modernist literary production. The second integrated PhD project will be a genetic study of 'Pilgrimage', which will use the correspondence, notes, manuscripts, typescripts, editions and their paratexts and epitexts to examine the writing process that produced its various parts and editions. There will be a conference in 2016 at Keele University on 'Gender and Textual Scholarship in Modernist Studies'. The project's collection of Richardson materials will be used to create a small touring exhibition and form the basis of a digitised virtual exhibition, to be hosted on the project's webpages.
