The BARS Executive Committee established the Stephen Copley bursary scheme in order to support postgraduate and early-career research within the UK. The bursaries primarily fund expenses incurred through travel to libraries and archives necessary for the applicant’s research, alongside other research-focused costs, such as (but not limited to) photocopying, scanning, and childcare. Please do join us in congratulating the very worthy winners and their projects:
Elisa Cozzi (Oxford) – ‘Italy and the Irish Romantics: Networks, Nations, and Literary Encounters 1798– 1848’
Ella Morrish (York) – ‘Materiality and Mourning in British Women’s Poetry of the Romantic Period’
Serena Qihui Pei (UCL) – ‘Thomas Manning and his Chinese Book Collection: Rethinking Sinological Influence on the Romantic Circle’
Dr Honor Rieley (Edinburgh) – ‘Newspaper Literature and the Provincial Perspective in Scotland and the North of England, 1820–40’
Once they have completed their research projects, each winner will write a brief report. These reports will be published on the BARS Blog and circulated through our social media. For more information about the bursaries, including reports from past winners, please visit our website: www.bars.ac.uk.
