项目摘要

This research project will closely analyse the collections, buildings and gardens of the Shugborough estate in order toanswer broader questions about the formation of landed estates, the interaction between local and global ideas and theimportance of material culture to imperial identity in eighteenth-century England. This project will challenge therepresentation of country estates as fixed conduits of 'English' identity by placing Shugborough in an internationalcontext. By considering the role of George Ansons' activities in the Carolinas and in the Atlantic economy moregenerally, this PhD aims to gain a deeper understanding as to how the Ansons were able to finance the development ofthe Shugborough estate. In so doing, it will also consider how the Ansons' global connections influenced the aestheticsof Shugborough, and how the space functioned in its provincial locality as an expression of imperialism and an agent ofempire in its own right. The time scale of this project will focus on the development of the Shugborough estate underThomas and George Anson in the mid-eighteenth century, although an end date for the project has not yet been decided;this is largely because the project will be led by the collections and estate papers themselves, and until they have beenexamined, it would be difficult to fit the project within a more specific time frame.

这个研究项目将仔细分析雄堡庄园的藏品、建筑和花园，以回答有关地产形成的更广泛的问题，地方和全球思想之间的相互作用，以及十八世纪英格兰物质文化对帝国身份的重要性。该项目将挑战乡村庄园作为“英国”身份的固定渠道的表现形式，将雄堡置于国际背景下。通过更广泛地考虑乔治·安松斯在卡罗来纳州和大西洋经济中的作用，本博士旨在更深入地了解安松斯家族如何能够为舒伯勒庄园的发展提供资金。在这样做的过程中，它还将考虑安松的全球联系如何影响了雄堡的美学，以及这个空间如何在它的地方作为帝国主义的表达和帝国本身的代理人发挥作用。该项目的时间尺度将集中在18世纪中叶托马斯和乔治·安森（George Anson）领导下的Shugborough庄园的开发，尽管该项目的结束日期尚未确定；这在很大程度上是因为该项目将由藏品和遗产文件本身主导，在对它们进行审查之前，很难在更具体的时间框架内完成该项目。
