The Thomas Nashe Project

托马斯·纳什（1567-c）他是英国文艺复兴时期最有影响力的作家之一，100多年来一直没有被编辑过。“托马斯·纳什项目”是一个雄心勃勃的学术编辑项目：六卷纳什所有已知的作品和dubia，将于2021年由牛津大学出版社出版，印刷版和在线版，作为牛津学术版在线的一部分，详细的注释考虑到我们对16世纪的理解的进步；一个新的词汇表，利用我们所拥有的电子检索工具；以及广泛的分析和评论。该版本将按照最高标准进行编辑，并考虑到学术编辑方法和新研究的发展。r.b. McKerrow的学术版（1904-10）是基于他对他在伦敦和牛津获得的文本副本的整理，尽管我们现在知道大西洋两岸保存了更多的副本（270多个）。他的文本注释虽然准确，但可能会让人困惑，因为他将抄写的文本与19世纪没有文本权威的作品进行比对。他的注释反映了20世纪初伊丽莎白时代社会的知识状况。它们在社会史、城市史和伦敦史上都过时了；作家个体之间的关系；早期现代写作的条件；赞助的性质与社会秩序；修辞与文学文化；和宗教。麦克罗版本的所有这些特点以及更多的特点都需要现代化。通过与国内和国际的合作伙伴合作，我们还旨在推进和传播我们将从这位作家及其对英国文学和英语语言的贡献中获得的知识。我们的合作伙伴和合作者包括，在英国，环球教育，爱德华男孩，旧宫学校（克罗伊登），纳什的戏剧“夏天的最后遗嘱和遗嘱”首次演出，牛津英语词典，诺福克博物馆服务（与大雅茅斯博物馆），以及在美国，华盛顿特区的福尔杰莎士比亚图书馆，那里拥有世界上最好的纳什作品收藏之一。以及梅隆信托基金会资助的位于威斯康辛州麦迪逊大学的“可视化英语印刷项目”团队。通过合作，我们的目标是：(1)还原纳什在他的国家和地区背景下（伦敦，洛斯托夫特，大雅茅斯），(2)探索纳什在英国文学和语言发展方面的持久遗产，(3)接触到对都铎/文艺复兴文学感兴趣的更广泛的普通读者。这个项目的一个独特之处在于，我们重视纳什写作的口头和表演潜力，无论是他的散文小说还是他的独著剧本《萨默斯的最后遗嘱》，以及这一时期散文和戏剧之间的关系。我们将有爱德华男孩在埃文河畔斯特拉特福德爱德华六世国王文法学校、新环球山姆·沃纳梅克剧场和克罗伊登旧宫殿学校大厅演出这部剧的录像，以及在环球SWP烛光下“阅读不死”朗读《夜之恐怖》的录像。我们将委托拍摄一部电影，探索纳什与东安格利亚的联系，以及在他生命的最后时刻在大雅茅斯写的《四旬斋》，并阅读这篇文章。通过Testbed Audio（英国广播公司的广播节目制作商），我们还将记录和发布一位演员尝试阅读风格的过程，并制作一个“专题”来介绍这项实验背后的研究。

Thomas Nashe (1567-c.1600), one of the most influential writers of the English Renaissance, has not been edited for over 100 years. 'The Thomas Nashe Project' is an ambitious project of scholarly editing: six volumes of all of Nashe's known writings and dubia, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2021 in print and also online, as part of Oxford Scholarly Editions Online, with detailed annotation that takes account of advances in our understanding of the 16th century; a new glossary that makes use of the e-search tools at our disposal; and extensive analysis and commentary. The edition will be edited to the highest standards, taking account of developments in approaches to scholarly editing and new research. R. B. McKerrow's revered scholarly edition (1904-10) is based on his collation of the copies of texts available to him in London and Oxford, although we now know that many more copies survive on both sides of the Atlantic (270+). His textual notes, accurate as they are, can be confusing as he collated his copy texts with 19th-century works that have no textual authority. His explanatory notes reflect the state of knowledge about Elizabethan society in the early 20th century. They are out of date on social history, urban history and the history of London; the relationship between individual writers; the conditions of early modern writing; the nature of patronage and the social order; rhetoric and literary culture; and religion. All of these features of McKerrow's edition and many more are in need of modernisation.By working with Partners of national and international standing, we also aim to both advance and disseminate the knowledge we will gain of this writer and his contribution to English literature and the English language. Our partners and collaborators include, in the UK, Globe Education, Edward's Boys, the Old Palace School (Croydon), where Nashe's play 'Summers Last Will and Testament' was first performed, The Oxford English Dictionary, Norfolk Museums Service (with Great Yarmouth Museums), and in the US, The Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington DC, which holds one of the finest collections of Nashe's writings in the world, and the Mellon Trust Foundation-funded 'The Visualizing English Print Project' team based at Madison University, Wisconsin. By collaborating we aim: (1) to resituate Nashe in his national and regional contexts (London, Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth), (2) to explore Nashe's lasting legacy on the development of English literature and on the language, and (3) to reach a much wider general readership who have an interest in Tudor / Renaissance literature. A unique feature of this project is the importance we attach to the orality and performance potential of Nashe's writing, both his prose fiction and his sole-authored play 'Summers Last Will and Testament', and thus of the relationship between prose and drama in this period. We will have video-recordings of the Edward's Boys performances of this play at King Edward VI Grammar School, Stratford upon Avon, the new Globe Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, and the Great Hall at The Old Palace School in Croydon, and of a 'Read not Dead' reading of 'Terrors of the Night' by candlelight at the Globe's SWP. We will commission a film exploring Nashe's links to East Anglia, as well as the writing of 'Lenten Stuffe' in Great Yarmouth at the end of his life, with readings of this text. With Testbed Audio (a maker of radio programmes for the BBC) we will also record and publish an actor experimenting with reading styles and make a 'feature' about the research that underlies this experiment.
