The Edinburgh Works of Allan Ramsay

RQ：第一本完整的拉姆齐作品将如何帮助我们定义18世纪浪漫主义、启蒙运动、民谣歌剧和苏格兰文学的发展？R背景：《阿兰·拉姆齐作品集》是第一本完整而一致的学术版的艾伦·拉姆齐（1684-1758）的作品，他是诗人，早期浪漫主义歌曲收藏家和文化企业家，是现代苏格兰第一个建立的剧院的创建者，可能也是英国第一个订阅图书馆的创建者。有一个现存的文本版本，这是马丁，奥利弗，金霍恩和法律版（1945-74）。这是由一群不同的编辑编纂的，没有一个统一的文本政策。它不仅不总是有一致的文本编辑方法：它也经常不利用现有的MS读物，而且自其出版以来，进一步的MS读物（和130 MSS）当然已经曝光。一旦一个版本正在进行中，更多的MSS可以被确定：伯恩斯版本现在已经确定了160个新的MSS，这些MSS在《英国文学手稿索引》相关卷出版时还不为人知。关于拉姆齐的索引条目以毫不妥协的方式指出了当前版本作为学术文本的严重局限性和不足：……作为学术版本存在严重缺陷。它组织得很糟糕；MSS的转录…不准确得令人无法接受；它的内容、标题、索引和设备都不充分、不一致和错误丛生。（IELM II: 3,172）R方法：因此，从某种意义上说，没有一个令人满意的拉姆齐的文本版本存在。“爱丁堡拉姆齐”（与爱丁堡大学出版社签订合同，连同配套的专著）是基于新的档案研究，是一个全面的学术注释版，基于当代文本编辑方法（PI在这一领域的工作被描述为设定了“18世纪歌曲文本初级研究的新标准”）。在格拉斯哥大学战略下，增加了支持学术和KE/Impact结果的主要研究（http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/rsio/knowledgeexchange/）。“作品”将首次全面探讨拉姆齐对音乐的运用，以及为苏格兰歌曲的发展和更广泛的历史表演所提出的问题。“作品”将使拉姆齐的文本多年来第一次随时可用。相关的网络学习资源（包括苏格兰资格认证机构为学校提供的相关资源，这要归功于苏格兰教育卓越课程资源和格拉斯哥大学之间的联系）将支持《诗歌》单独平装版的开发。“作品”将与一册专门介绍拉姆齐的爱丁堡的背景和主题：艺术、音乐、政治、城市环境等。这将由一个关于拉姆齐的爱丁堡的网络资源提供支持，该资源将包括一个在线参考书目，歌曲表演（包括历史信息），拉姆齐爱丁堡的人和俱乐部部分，诗歌（1721）订阅列表的文学研究和拉姆齐的接待资源。将安排一场音乐会来补充在线歌曲录制。随录音而来的是反思性的学术材料。我们还将与外部合作伙伴合作，包括与国家图书馆合作举办展览，并举办研讨会，重点介绍他们的拉姆齐宝藏。根据我们对爱丁堡艺术交易的研究结果，我们将与苏格兰国家美术馆合作，制定新的1700万英镑庆祝苏格兰艺术项目CAPEX的收藏政策，并与南卡罗莱纳大学合作开展收藏发展。我们还将领导在卡罗普斯艾伦·拉姆齐酒店（http://www.allanramsayhotel）举办的“艾伦·拉姆齐文学节”的持续发展。

RQ: How will the first full textual edition of the works of Allan Ramsay enable us to define the development of Romanticism, Enlightenment, ballad opera and literary Scots in the eighteenth century?R Context: The Works of Allan Ramsay is the first full and consistent scholarly edition of the works of Allan Ramsay (1684-1758), the poet, early Romantic song-collector and cultural entrepreneur, creator of the first established theatre in modern Scotland and probably the first subscription library in the UK. There is one existing textual edition, which is the Martin, Oliver, Kinghorn and Law edition (1945-74). This was assembled by a diverse group of editors without a single unifying textual policy over time. Not only does it not always have a consistent approach to textual editing: it also often does not utilize extant MS readings, and further MS readings (and 130 MSS) have of course come to light since its publication. More can be expected to be identified once an edition is under way: the Burns edition has now identified 160 new MSS not known at the time of the publication of the relevant volume of The Index for English Literary Manuscripts. The Index entry on Ramsay notes the current edition's serious limitations and inadequacy as a scholarly text in uncompromising terms:...deeply flawed as a scholarly edition. It is badly organised;its transcription of MSS...is unacceptably inaccurate; its contentspages, titling, indexes and apparatus are variously inadequate,inconsistent and error-ridden. (IELM II:3, 172)R methods: There is in no sense, then, a satisfactory textual edition of Ramsay extant. The 'Edinburgh Ramsay' (under contract with Edinburgh University Press, together with supporting monograph) is based on new archival research and is a comprehensive scholarly annotated edition based on contemporary textual editing methods (the PI's work in this area has been described as setting 'new standards for primary research in eighteenth-century song-texts'), with the addition of primary research supportive of both scholarly and KE/Impact outcomes under the University of Glasgow strategy (http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/rsio/knowledgeexchange/). The 'Works' will deal fully for the first time with Ramsay's use of music and the issues raised for the development of Scottish song and its historic performance more generally. The 'Works' will make Ramsay's texts readily available for the first time in many years. Associated web learning resources (including Scottish Qualification Authority relevant resources for schools thanks to the link between Education Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence resources and the University of Glasgow) will support the development of a separate paperback edition of the Poems. The 'Works' will be accompanied by a volume devoted to the contexts and themes of Ramsay's Edinburgh: art, music, politics, urban environment and many others. This will be supported by a web resource on Ramsay's Edinburgh, which will include an online bibliography, song performances (including historically informed ones) , a section on people and clubs of Ramsay's Edinburgh, a prosopographical study of the subscription list for Poems (1721) and a resource on Ramsay's reception. A concert will be arranged to complement the online song recordings. Reflective scholarly material will accompany recordings.We will also work with external partners, including an exhibition with the National Library with an accompanying symposium highlighting their Ramsay treasures. We will work with the National Galleries of Scotland on their collections policy in the new £17M Celebrating Scotland's Art project CAPEX based on our research findings on the art trade in Edinburgh, and with the University of South Carolina on collections development. We will also lead the continuing development of the Allan Ramsay Literary Festival at the Allan Ramsay Hotel, Carlops (http://www.allanramsayhotel).
