The Thomas Nashe Project

托马斯·纳什（1567-c.1600）是英国文艺复兴时期最有影响力的作家之一，100多年来一直没有被编辑过。“托马斯纳什项目”是一个雄心勃勃的学术编辑项目：纳什所有已知著作和杜比亚的六卷，将于2021年由牛津大学出版社以印刷和在线形式出版，作为牛津学术版在线的一部分，详细的注释考虑到我们对16世纪的理解;一个新的词汇表，利用了我们所掌握的电子搜索工具;以及广泛的分析和评论。该版本将按照最高标准进行编辑，同时考虑到学术编辑方法和新研究的发展。R. B。McKerrow的受人尊敬的学术版（1904-10）是基于他在伦敦和牛津提供给他的文本副本的整理，尽管我们现在知道大西洋两岸（270+）还有更多的副本。他的文本注释虽然准确，但当他将自己的副本文本与没有文本权威的19世纪作品进行核对时，可能会令人困惑。他的注释反映了世纪早期对莎士比亚社会的认识状况。他们在社会史、城市史和伦敦史;个别作家之间的关系;早期现代写作的条件;赞助人的性质和社会秩序;修辞和文学文化;以及宗教方面都过时了。麦克罗版本的所有这些特点以及更多的特点都需要现代化。通过与国内和国际合作伙伴的合作，我们的目标也是促进和传播我们将获得的这位作家的知识以及他对英国文学和英语语言的贡献。我们的合作伙伴和合作者包括英国的地球仪教育、爱德华男孩、旧皇宫学校（克罗伊登）（纳什的戏剧《夏日最后的遗嘱》首次演出的地方）、牛津英语词典、诺福克博物馆服务（与大雅茅斯博物馆），并在美国，福尔杰莎士比亚图书馆，华盛顿特区，其中拥有一个最好的收藏纳什的著作在世界上，以及位于威斯康星州的麦迪逊大学的梅隆信托基金会资助的“可视化英语印刷项目”团队。通过合作，我们旨在：（1）重新定位纳什在他的国家和地区的背景下（伦敦，洛斯托夫特，大雅茅斯），（2）探索纳什对英语文学和语言发展的持久遗产，（3）达到更广泛的一般读者谁有兴趣在都铎/文艺复兴时期的文学。这个项目的一个独特之处是我们重视Nashe写作的口头性和表演潜力，无论是他的散文小说还是他唯一创作的戏剧“Summers Last Will and Testament”，以及这一时期散文和戏剧之间的关系。我们将在埃文河畔斯特拉特福德的爱德华六世文法学校、新的地球仪萨姆·沃纳梅克剧场和克罗伊登的旧宫殿学校的大厅里，以及在地球仪的SWP烛光下，对《夜晚的恐怖》进行“读而不死”的阅读。我们将委托拍摄一部电影，探索纳什与东安格利亚的联系，以及他生命结束时在大雅茅斯写的《四旬斋》，并阅读这篇文章。与Testbed Audio（英国广播公司的广播节目制作商）合作，我们还将录制并发布一位演员对阅读风格的实验，并制作一个关于这项实验基础研究的“特写”。

Thomas Nashe (1567-c.1600), one of the most influential writers of the English Renaissance, has not been edited for over 100 years. 'The Thomas Nashe Project' is an ambitious project of scholarly editing: six volumes of all of Nashe's known writings and dubia, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2021 in print and also online, as part of Oxford Scholarly Editions Online, with detailed annotation that takes account of advances in our understanding of the 16th century; a new glossary that makes use of the e-search tools at our disposal; and extensive analysis and commentary. The edition will be edited to the highest standards, taking account of developments in approaches to scholarly editing and new research. R. B. McKerrow's revered scholarly edition (1904-10) is based on his collation of the copies of texts available to him in London and Oxford, although we now know that many more copies survive on both sides of the Atlantic (270+). His textual notes, accurate as they are, can be confusing as he collated his copy texts with 19th-century works that have no textual authority. His explanatory notes reflect the state of knowledge about Elizabethan society in the early 20th century. They are out of date on social history, urban history and the history of London; the relationship between individual writers; the conditions of early modern writing; the nature of patronage and the social order; rhetoric and literary culture; and religion. All of these features of McKerrow's edition and many more are in need of modernisation.By working with Partners of national and international standing, we also aim to both advance and disseminate the knowledge we will gain of this writer and his contribution to English literature and the English language. Our partners and collaborators include, in the UK, Globe Education, Edward's Boys, the Old Palace School (Croydon), where Nashe's play 'Summers Last Will and Testament' was first performed, The Oxford English Dictionary, Norfolk Museums Service (with Great Yarmouth Museums), and in the US, The Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington DC, which holds one of the finest collections of Nashe's writings in the world, and the Mellon Trust Foundation-funded 'The Visualizing English Print Project' team based at Madison University, Wisconsin. By collaborating we aim: (1) to resituate Nashe in his national and regional contexts (London, Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth), (2) to explore Nashe's lasting legacy on the development of English literature and on the language, and (3) to reach a much wider general readership who have an interest in Tudor / Renaissance literature. A unique feature of this project is the importance we attach to the orality and performance potential of Nashe's writing, both his prose fiction and his sole-authored play 'Summers Last Will and Testament', and thus of the relationship between prose and drama in this period. We will have video-recordings of the Edward's Boys performances of this play at King Edward VI Grammar School, Stratford upon Avon, the new Globe Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, and the Great Hall at The Old Palace School in Croydon, and of a 'Read not Dead' reading of 'Terrors of the Night' by candlelight at the Globe's SWP. We will commission a film exploring Nashe's links to East Anglia, as well as the writing of 'Lenten Stuffe' in Great Yarmouth at the end of his life, with readings of this text. With Testbed Audio (a maker of radio programmes for the BBC) we will also record and publish an actor experimenting with reading styles and make a 'feature' about the research that underlies this experiment.
