The International Christopher Marlowe

这个奖学金提案的核心是一个雄心勃勃的愿望，即把伊丽莎白时代的诗人和剧作家克里斯托弗·马洛重新想象成一个“国际”或欧洲的政治思想家，而不是一个主要针对国内环境和理论争论的英国作家。因此，该奖学金支持一项研究计划，将马洛的工作置于欧洲政治思想的创新和变化的背景下，主要是在英国接受的，从大约1572年到马洛于1593年去世（见“支持的案例”了解更多细节）。推动计划研究的是一种以书籍历史和接受研究为基础的方法论，以及对政治文本的解释，它有能力重振当前关于马洛的学术研究，并挑战早期现代戏剧与政治思想联系在一起的方式。在一个及时的方式，该项目将强调欧洲的维度，一个开创性的人物在“我们的”，即英国，民族文学的叙述。截至2013年12月的6个月期间，包括埃克塞特大学授予的研究休假，将为奖学金涵盖的研究项目奠定基础；它包括一个研究专著的建议（包括2章草稿），一个成熟的学术出版商，可能是牛津大学出版社。在第一阶段，该奖学金将支持为期一年的全职研究项目，最终完成专著的剩余章节，追踪英国人对欧洲政治思想的接受，大约20年，直到1593年，并将马洛的工作置于这些材料的背景下。第二个为期六个月的兼职阶段（至2015年9月）将致力于传播，影响和领导相关活动。其中包括在埃克塞特大学举行的为期两天的“国际马洛”会议，以及欧洲大学和/或学术组织的研讨会之旅。在影响方面，他们还纳入了由专业戏剧公司“灿烂制作”为德文郡地区学校开办的一些讲习班，这些讲习班将创造性地探索马洛戏剧与政治思想之间的相互作用。其中一些研讨会的视频片段将被上传到一个宣传该项目的网站上，其中将包括专门用于会议的页面，以及马洛时代的政治思想，并包括马洛戏剧中的五个剪辑场景，以阐明该奖学金背后的思想。在奖学金开始时，将任命一名研究助理来帮助协调影响和传播方案。提议的一系列研究、传播和领导活动将进一步促进我的职业发展，从一个有前途的早期职业学者，在2011年初被任命为我的第一个研究职位，并在最近出版了第一本专著（战争自由和凯撒：牛津，2013）。它也将进一步我的研究兴趣在政治思想和想象或模仿文学之间的复杂交集；在接待;以及早期现代英国与国外的文学和知识联系，目的是在未来设计大量的资助和合作项目。

At the heart of this fellowship proposal is an ambitious desire to reconceive the Elizabethan poet and dramatist Christopher Marlowe as an 'international' or European political thinker, as opposed to an English writer responding largely to domestic contexts and to polemic over theory. Accordingly, the fellowship supports a programme of research that places Marlowe's work in the context of innovations and changes in European political thought, principally as received in England, from ca. 1572 to Marlowe's death in 1593 (see 'Case for Support' for further details). Driving the planned research is a methodology grounded in book history and reception studies, as well as the interpretation of political texts, which has the capacity to reinvigorate current scholarship on Marlowe and challenge aspects of the way early modern drama has been linked to political ideas. In a timely way the project will emphasise the European dimension to a seminal figure in narratives of 'our', that is English, national literature. A 6 month period ending December 2013 and including research leave granted by the University of Exeter will lay the platform for the programme of research covered by the fellowship; it includes a proposal for a research monograph (including 2 draft chapters) to an established academic publisher, probably Oxford University Press. In its first phase, the fellowship will support a 1-year programme of full-time research, culminating in the remaining chapters of a monograph tracing the English reception of European political thought over a roughly twenty year period to 1593 and placing Marlowe's work in the context of this material. A second, part-time phase of six months (until September 2015) will be devoted to dissemination, impact and leadership-related activities. These include a two-day conference on 'The International Marlowe' at the University of Exeter and a seminar tour of European universities and/or academic organisations. They also incorporate, on the impact side, a number of workshops run by a professional drama company, 'Splendid Productions', for schools in the Devon region, which will creatively explore the interaction between Marlowe's drama and political ideas. Video footage of some of these workshops will be uploaded to a website publicising the project, which will include pages devoted to the conference, to political thought in the age of Marlowe, and include five edited scenes from Marlowe's plays illuminating the thinking behind the fellowship. At the start of the fellowship, a research assistant will be appointed to help co-ordinate the impact and dissemination programme. The proposed array of research, dissemination and leadership actitivies will further my career development from a promising early career scholar, appointed to my first research post in early 2011 and with a recently published first monograph (War Liberty and Caesar: Oxford, 2013). It will also further my research interests in the complex intersections between political ideas and imaginative or mimetic literature; in reception; and in the literary and intellectual links between early modern England and abroad, with the aim of devising substantial funded and collaborative projects in the future.
