Context for ResearchThis grant will funda collaborative project between Lancaster University and The Wordsworth Trust. We will be working with manuscript materials for two Woodsworth texts (early Prelude material and Home at Grasmere) which are both fundamentally about the importance of place to the writing of poetry - either in escaping from a hostile environment through writing poetry that draws on memories of place, or in celebrating a final home-coming to the Lakes. All original manuscript materials are held at Dove Cottage, Grasmere. By putting the manuscript materials online we want to open up an understanding of the relationship between actual physical place (today) and imagined, textual space in the content of the poem and the making of the manuscript. We would like visitors to the actual site, and to the virtual site to be given a new way of understanding this relationship by means of our project.In his writing, Wordsworth recreates his own experience of joy and rapture in response to the Lake District, as he slides across the ice, steals bird's eggs from a crag, or arrives in Grasmere for the first time: 'how my heart / Panted ... how my bosom beat/ With hope and fear' (MS JJ [DC MS 19] X). Our site will allow the public to share something of that excitement by giving them access to those accounts in their very earliest handwritten form. By guiding others through interpretation of the processes of writing about place, we will use the manuscript materials themselves as a site where different kinds of experience of place can come together and inform each other. The web site will be designed to have three levels of access: as a child or a teacher; as a visitor; as a specialist. It will contain a 'read-aloud' version of key manuscripts; stage by stage reconstructions of the writing of certain passages; discussion and comparison of images and structures; visual links to actual places mentioned; information about the writing of the manuscripts in and around Grasmere; creative activities. Understanding the nature of the creative process is something of interest to all of us. In relation to children, in particular, the accessible presentation of the way in which a poem is written and re-written, will help them to produce their own writings.Aims and ObjectivesThe work will last for four months and involve collaboration between an academic specialist from the English department, the curator at the Trust (who will also undertake the text encoding), a digital expert who has worked with the Trust on a number of projects and the interpretations and IT officers. The primary objective of the project is to explore imaginative ways of presenting manuscripts materials in hypertext ans by means of TEI and to create an accessible way of understanding those materials for a wide audience. For the academic participant the objective is also two-fold: to develop a more innovative methodological way of interpreting literature and texts through place (emerging from practical engagement and theoretical reflection) and to produce academic articles drawing upon such innovation. The project allows a deeper understanding of the relationship between the writing of poetry and a particular location, avoiding a simplistic revisiting of place in terms of biography by placing the emphasis on the space and place of the text. The research which emerges will therefore be about the ways in which we ourselves and the manuscript object somehow retain that connection in the present.Applications and BenefitsThe project will stand as a model for successful collaboration between ana cademic and a non-academic institution and be of use to those interested in Wordsworth from all around the world who are not able to come to Dove Cottage. It will be of particular interest to other literary museums and to those working eith hypertext in

研究背景这笔赠款将资助兰卡斯特大学和华兹华斯信托基金会之间的合作项目。我们将使用伍兹沃斯的两篇文本的手稿材料（早期的前奏曲材料和格拉斯米尔的家），它们从根本上讲都是关于地点对诗歌创作的重要性——要么通过写出利用地方记忆的诗歌来逃离敌对的环境，要么庆祝最后一次回到湖区。所有原始手稿材料均保存在格拉斯米尔的鸽子小屋。通过将手稿材料放在网上，我们希望加深对实际物理地点（今天）与诗歌内容和手稿制作中想象的文本空间之间的关系的理解。我们希望通过我们的项目，为实际站点和虚拟站点的访问者提供一种新的方式来理解这种关系。在他的写作中，华兹华斯重现了他自己对湖区的喜悦和狂喜的体验，当他滑过冰面、从峭壁上偷鸟蛋或第一次到达格拉斯米尔时：“我的心如何/气喘吁吁……我的胸膛如何跳动/带着希望和恐惧”（MS JJ [DC MS 19] X）。我们的网站将允许公众以最早的手写形式访问这些帐户，从而分享一些令人兴奋的事情。通过引导他人解释关于地方的写作过程，我们将使用手稿材料本身作为一个场所，在这里不同类型的地方体验可以聚集在一起并相互告知。该网站将设计为具有三个级别的访问权限：儿童或教师；作为访客；作为专家。它将包含关键手稿的“朗读”版本；逐步重建某些段落的写作；图像和结构的讨论和比较；指向所提到的实际地点的视觉链接；有关格拉斯米尔及其周边地区手稿书写的信息；创意活动。了解创作过程的本质是我们所有人都感兴趣的事情。特别是对于儿童而言，以通俗易懂的方式展示一首诗的写作和重写方式，将有助于他们创作自己的作品。 目的和目标 这项工作将持续四个月，涉及英语系的一位学术专家、信托基金的策展人（他还将负责文本编码）、一位曾与信托基金合作过多个项目和解释的数字专家以及 IT 官员之间的合作。该项目的主要目标是探索通过 TEI 以超文本形式呈现手稿材料的富有想象力的方式，并为广大受众创建一种理解这些材料的易于理解的方式。对于学术参与者来说，目标也是双重的：开发一种更具创新性的方法论方式，通过场所（来自实践参与和理论反思）来解释文学和文本，并利用这种创新来撰写学术文章。该项目可以更深入地理解诗歌写作与特定地点之间的关系，通过强调文本的空间和地点，避免简单地重新审视传记方面的地点。因此，出现的研究将是关于我们自己和手稿对象以某种方式在当下保留这种联系的方式。 应用和效益该项目将成为学术机构和非学术机构之间成功合作的典范，并对那些来自世界各地、无法来到鸽舍的对华兹华斯感兴趣的人有用。其他文学博物馆和那些从事超文本工作的人将会特别感兴趣
