In 1845, the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote, 'I look everywhere for grandmothers and see none'. Working-class women poets of the eighteenth-century have been ignored by scholars for 200 years. I aim to reconnect these forgotten poets with their 'granddaughters', both by producing original critical scholarship on their poems and by driving contemporary writers' creative engagement with them. I will be writing a journal article, supervised by Dr Bobker, whose expertise in the eighteenth-century poetics of social space corresponds with my doctoral research. Also, my project will contribute to the department's interdisciplinary research culture through a series of impact activities. These are likely to include: a blog post on the poets, Little and Taylor, for the new Writing Beyond the Room project; a reading of my own poetry, for the 'SpokenWeb' project; hosting an introductory seminar to little-known poets at the Centre for Expanded Poetics, and assisting with the organisation of the Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies conference 2023.

1845年，诗人伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁写道：“我到处寻找祖母，却一个也没找到。”18世纪的工人阶级女性诗人被学者们忽视了200年。我的目标是将这些被遗忘的诗人与他们的“孙女”重新联系起来，通过对他们的诗歌进行原创的批判性学术研究，并推动当代作家与他们的创造性接触。我将在Bobker博士的指导下写一篇期刊文章，他在18世纪社会空间诗学方面的专长与我的博士研究相吻合。此外，我的项目将通过一系列的影响活动，为系里的跨学科研究文化做出贡献。这些可能包括：一篇关于利特尔和泰勒这两位诗人的博客文章，用于新的“在房间之外写作”项目；为“SpokenWeb”项目朗读我自己的诗歌；在扩展诗学中心举办一场鲜为人知的诗人介绍性研讨会，并协助组织2023年加拿大十八世纪研究协会会议。
