Florence Nightingale Comes Home for 2020:an historico-literary analysis of her family life

虽然佛罗伦萨·南丁格尔（1820-1910）是一个熟悉的历史人物，但大多数人都不知道她的早年生活和她一生中丰富的夏季都是在德比郡度过的，她的家人在那里建造了一个家，并拥有突出的商业联系。这也是南丁格尔进行了大量的她丰富的写作。有些令人惊讶的是，即使是南丁格尔的学术著作花了相对较少的时间来分析这些地区对她的职业和文学生活的影响，以及她的东米德兰的朋友，家人和经历对她的态度和工作的发展做出了贡献。填补这一知识空白是该项目目标的核心。其总体目标是“把佛罗伦萨南丁格尔带回家”到东米德兰兹郡，并找到富有想象力和吸引力的方式来使用和庆祝这个未被重视的地区成功的故事。该项目的主要研究重点是推进南丁格尔的地区联系的学术观点，以发展对这一标志性人物的更完整的传记理解。预计这一研究线索也将产生重要的见解，进入日常生活的重要工业谷中，南丁格尔家庭发挥了如此突出的一部分。为了实现该项目的研究目标，将首次系统地挖掘当地和全国各地的分散来源，以获取有关南丁格尔地区联系的信息。该项目将提供针对领先学术期刊的开创性研究，并产生跨学科的编辑收藏。它还将通过雇用两名博士后研究人员和赞助两名博士生来提高南丁格尔研究的早期职业能力。除了这些学术目标之外，该项目还将与当地社区成员（特别是针对护士）合作，加深对这位重要女性领导人的区域认同。该项目是完美的时间，以适应国家周期的活动计划为2020年庆祝南丁格尔的诞生二百周年。许多明显的南丁格尔利益相关者，如南丁格尔基金会，伦敦和南丁格尔博物馆，伦敦将积极参与这些程序，但鉴于南丁格尔在东米德兰兹的重要性，重要的是该地区也在这些庆祝活动中发挥突出作用。该项目将通过突出南丁格尔通过三个学术研讨会，两个公共展览（伴随着会谈和外展活动）和三个讨论舞台专门从事护理社区的规定举行区域的作用添加到伦敦的活动。由于诺丁汉和德比联合收割机结合，使护士培训的最大区域中心，它似乎是一个恰当的机会，探索新的方式为南丁格尔刺激共同的社区身份，有关她的一些障碍和困境，以现代问题所面临的护理专业。该项目有一个特别的兴趣，使南丁格尔的历史可见，并通过网络广泛访问。一个专门的网站（www.floem.org）将提供南丁格尔在当地影响的概述历史，并将展示与她在该地区的时间有关的关键文件和图像。该网站还将提供一个交叉引用设施与其他南丁格尔收藏作为援助南丁格尔学者世界各地。作为一个方便用户的资源，该网站将使网站访问者能够以吸引人的方式跟踪项目的研究。最后，该网站将宣传和促进南丁格尔事件，无论他们是设想的一部分，或外，这个项目。

Although Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) is a familiar historical figure, most people do not know that her early years, and plentiful summers throughout her life, were spent in Derbyshire, where her family had built a home and held prominent business connections. It was also where Nightingale conducted a lot of her copious writing. Somewhat surprisingly, even scholarly works on Nightingale have spent comparatively little time analysing these regional influences on her professional and literary life and the way her East Midland's based friends, family and experiences contributed to the development of her attitudes and work. The filling of this knowledge gap sits at the heart of the project's aims. The overarching aim of which is to 'bring Florence Nightingale home' to the East Midlands and to find imaginative and engaging ways to use and celebrate this underappreciated story of regional success.The primary research focus of the project is to advance academic perspectives on Nightingale's regional connections in order to develop a more complete biographical understanding of this iconic figure. It is anticipated that this research thread will also yield important insights into the daily life of the important industrial valley in which the Nightingale family played such a prominent part. To fulfil the research aims of the project, dispersed sources, available both locally and throughout the country will be systematically mined for the first time for information about Nightingale's regional connections. This project will deliver pioneering research targeted at leading academic journals and resulting in an interdisciplinary edited collection. It will additionally advance early career capacity in Nightingale studies by employing two postdoctoral researchers and sponsoring two PhD students. Further to these academic objectives, the project will engage with local community members (particularly targeting nurses) to deepen regional identification with this important female leader. The project is perfectly timed to fit into the national cycle of events planned for 2020 celebrating the bicentenary of Nightingale's birth. Many obvious Nightingale stakeholders, for example the Nightingale Foundation, London and the Nightingale Museum, London will be actively engaged in these proceedings but, given Nightingale's importance in the East Midlands, it is important for the region to also play a prominent role in these celebrations. The project will add to events in London by highlighting the role Nightingale held regionally through three academic workshops, two public exhibitions (with accompanying talks and outreach events) and the provision of three discussion arenas specifically engaging with the nursing community. As Nottingham and Derby combine to make the largest regional hub for nurse training it seems a pertinent opportunity to explore new ways for Nightingale to stimulate a shared community identity; relating some of her obstacles and dilemmas to modern day issues faced by the nursing profession.The project has a particular interest in making Nightingale history visible and widely accessible via the web. A dedicated website (www.floem.org) will provide an outline history of Nightingale's local influences, and will showcase key documents and images pertinent to her time in the region. The site will also provide a cross referencing facility with other Nightingale collections as an aid to Nightingale scholars worldwide. As an user-friendly resource, the website will allow site visitors to follow the project's research in an engaging way. Finally, the website will advertise and promote Nightingale events whether they are conceived as part of, or outside of, this project.
