Reading Romanticism in the Margins: An Analysis of Marginalia and Borrowing Records in Scottish Universities, 1788-1833

这个博士项目旨在揭示，语境化和解释以前未充分探索浪漫时期的学生边缘包含在苏格兰大学图书馆版本的浪漫时期想象文学。试点研究表明，这些学生题词揭示了在一个关键的印刷文化扩散和文学政治化的时期，文学话语模式的变化迷人的谈判。该项目建议建立一个大规模的旁注和文本数据集，特别关注格拉斯哥大学的大量馆藏，以扩展和测试这些发现。它的档案工作将为苏格兰教育史、浪漫时期的阅读实践以及英国文学的制度和学科形成提供新的见解

This doctoral project seeks to uncover, contextualise and interpret formerly under-explored Romantic-period student marginalia contained in Scottish University library editions of Romantic-period imaginative literature. Pilot research demonstrates that these student inscriptions reveal fascinating negotiations with shifting models of literary discourse during a period of pivotal print-cultural proliferation and literary politicisation. This project proposes to build a large-scale dataset of marginalia and texts, focusing particularly on the University of Glasgow's substantial holdings, to extend and test these findings. Its archival work will develop new insights into Scottish educational history, Romantic-period reading practices and the institutional and disciplinary formation of English Literature
