This project aims to offer an account of the roles played by fiction and imagination in the production of space during the long 18th century (1700-1835), through studies of key buildings (Strawberry Hill, Fonthill Abbey, Abbotsford); the fictions with which they were associated (Otranto, Vathek, Waverley); and the relation between these buildings, texts, and their readers/inhabitants. Drawing on these primary studies, the project will aim to develop a new account of the 18th-century imagination, the emergence of modern architectures of imagination, and the transition from neoclassicism to romanticism, while bringing these developments into dialogue with current debates about space, creativity, and the rapidly expanding field of biopolitics.

本项目旨在通过对主要建筑（草莓山、丰希尔修道院、阿伯斯福德）的研究，以及与之相关的小说（奥特朗托、瓦泰克、韦弗利），以及这些建筑、文本与读者/居民之间的关系，来说明小说和想象在漫长的18世纪（1700-1835）的空间创造中所扮演的角色。利用这些主要研究，该项目将旨在开发一个新的帐户18世纪的想象力，现代建筑的想象力的出现，以及从新古典主义到浪漫主义的过渡，同时将这些发展与当前关于空间，创造力和迅速扩大的生物政治领域的辩论进行对话。
