This research will produce the first scholarly edition of the letters of Thomas Campbell, the ScottishRomantic poet. Campbell has been strangely neglected by recent critics of British Romanticism and isabsent from key twentyfirst century accounts of the period (e.g. Duncan Wu's Romanticism: AnAnthology (2012)). The last full edition of his poems was published in 1907. The only previous editionof his letters is William Beattie's Life and Letters of Thomas Campbell (1849), which published asmall selection of his correspondence, with texts expurgated according to the conventions of the time.Yet as the author of the bestselling poem 'Pleasures of Hope' (1799) and holder of a prominent publicoffice (Rector of Glasgow University), Campbell was a significant figure to his contemporaries. Thisproject will tackle his neglect by:Transcribing from original manuscripts, editing and annotating his letters, thus revealing newinformation about his life, works, and networksWriting two introductory chapters that: (i) explore how and why Campbell was forgotten and whatrecuperating him will add to current knowledge and understanding of British Romanticism and ofcanon formation; (ii) demonstrate how his letters, sent to a wide range of correspondents fromdisparate backgrounds, are key to understanding both Campbell's own career and involvement inwider Romantic period sociability.This thesis builds on my undergraduate work on biography and literary reputation in the Romanticperiod ('Self and the World'), my MA modules 'Textualities' and 'Literary Histories', and MA dissertation,which will edit and analyse Campbell's letters to Mrs. F.C. Arkwright of Derbyshire. My previous handsonexperience working with archival materials from a range of different periods in the Boots Archivesand Chatsworth House and skills acquired at BA and MA in palaeography are directly relevant to andwill facilitate the completion of this project.

这项研究将产生苏格兰浪漫主义诗人托马斯坎贝尔的信件的第一个学术版本。坎贝尔一直奇怪地被最近英国浪漫主义的批评家忽视，并且在21世纪的关键世纪时期的帐户中缺席（例如邓肯吴的浪漫主义：AnAnthology（2012））。他的诗集最后一次完整版出版于1907年。关于他的书信，威廉·贝蒂的《托马斯坎贝尔的生平与书信》（1849年）是唯一的一个早期版本，该书收录了他的一小部分书信，并根据当时的惯例进行了删节。然而，作为畅销诗《希望的快乐》（1799年）的作者和一位著名的公职人员（格拉斯哥大学校长），坎贝尔对他同时代的人来说是一个重要人物。本项目将解决他的忽视：从原始手稿转录，编辑和注释他的信件，从而揭示了新的信息，他的生活，作品和网络写两个介绍性的章节：（一）探讨如何和为什么坎贝尔被遗忘，什么恢复他将增加目前的知识和理解英国浪漫主义和正典的形成;（ii）证明他的信件，发送给来自不同背景的广泛的通讯员，是理解坎贝尔自己的职业生涯和参与更广泛的浪漫主义时期社交活动的关键。本论文建立在我本科时期关于浪漫主义时期传记和文学声誉的工作基础上（“自我与世界”），我的硕士模块“文本”和“文学史”，以及硕士论文，这将编辑和分析坎贝尔的信件夫人。德比郡的阿克赖特。我以前的手从不同时期的靴子档案馆和查茨沃斯房子和技能获得的档案材料的工作经验，在BA和MA在古文字直接相关，并将促进完成这个项目。
