A scholarly edition of the letters of the Scottish Romantic poet, Thomas Campbell (1777-1844).

这项研究将产生苏格兰浪漫主义诗人托马斯·坎贝尔（Thomas Campbell）书信的第一个学术版本。奇怪的是，坎贝尔一直被最近英国浪漫主义的批评者所忽视，而且在21世纪对这一时期的重要描述中也没有出现（例如邓肯·吴的《浪漫主义：anthology》（2012））。他的最后一部诗集出版于1907年。他的信件之前唯一的版本是威廉·比蒂的《托马斯·坎贝尔的生活和信件》（1849年），该书出版了他的一小部分信件，其中的文本根据当时的惯例进行了删节。然而，作为畅销书《希望的乐趣》（1799年）的作者和杰出公职（格拉斯哥大学校长）的负责人，坎贝尔对他同时代的人来说是一个重要的人物。这个项目将通过以下方式解决他被忽视的问题：从原始手稿中转录，编辑和注释他的信件，从而揭示有关他的生活，作品和网络的新信息。写两个介绍性章节：(i)探索坎贝尔是如何以及为什么被遗忘的，以及恢复他将如何增加当前对英国浪漫主义和正典形成的认识和理解；（ii）证明他的信件是如何成为理解坎贝尔自己的事业以及他在浪漫主义时期的社交活动的关键，这些信件是写给来自不同背景的广泛的通讯员的。这篇论文建立在我在浪漫主义时期的传记和文学声誉的本科工作（“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给德比郡的F.C.阿克赖特夫人的信。我之前在博茨档案馆和查茨沃斯庄园处理不同时期档案材料的亲身经历，以及我在古生物学学士和硕士学位期间获得的技能，与这个项目的完成直接相关，也将有助于这个项目的完成。

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.
