项目摘要

At the heart of this fellowship proposal is an ambitious desire to reconceive the Elizabethan poet and dramatist Christopher Marlowe as an 'international' or European political thinker, as opposed to an English writer responding largely to domestic contexts and to polemic over theory. Accordingly, the fellowship supports a programme of research that places Marlowe's work in the context of innovations and changes in European political thought, principally as received in England, from ca. 1572 to Marlowe's death in 1593 (see 'Case for Support' for further details). Driving the planned research is a methodology grounded in book history and reception studies, as well as the interpretation of political texts, which has the capacity to reinvigorate current scholarship on Marlowe and challenge aspects of the way early modern drama has been linked to political ideas. In a timely way the project will emphasise the European dimension to a seminal figure in narratives of 'our', that is English, national literature. A 6 month period ending December 2013 and including research leave granted by the University of Exeter will lay the platform for the programme of research covered by the fellowship; it includes a proposal for a research monograph (including 2 draft chapters) to an established academic publisher, probably Oxford University Press. In its first phase, the fellowship will support a 1-year programme of full-time research, culminating in the remaining chapters of a monograph tracing the English reception of European political thought over a roughly twenty year period to 1593 and placing Marlowe's work in the context of this material. A second, part-time phase of six months (until September 2015) will be devoted to dissemination, impact and leadership-related activities. These include a two-day conference on 'The International Marlowe' at the University of Exeter and a seminar tour of European universities and/or academic organisations. They also incorporate, on the impact side, a number of workshops run by a professional drama company, 'Splendid Productions', for schools in the Devon region, which will creatively explore the interaction between Marlowe's drama and political ideas. Video footage of some of these workshops will be uploaded to a website publicising the project, which will include pages devoted to the conference, to political thought in the age of Marlowe, and include five edited scenes from Marlowe's plays illuminating the thinking behind the fellowship. At the start of the fellowship, a research assistant will be appointed to help co-ordinate the impact and dissemination programme. The proposed array of research, dissemination and leadership actitivies will further my career development from a promising early career scholar, appointed to my first research post in early 2011 and with a recently published first monograph (War Liberty and Caesar: Oxford, 2013). It will also further my research interests in the complex intersections between political ideas and imaginative or mimetic literature; in reception; and in the literary and intellectual links between early modern England and abroad, with the aim of devising substantial funded and collaborative projects in the future.

这项奖学金提案的核心是雄心勃勃的愿望，希望将伊丽莎白时代的诗人和剧作家克里斯托弗·马洛重新塑造为“国际”或欧洲政治思想家，而不是主要回应国内背景和理论争论的英国作家。因此，该奖学金支持一项研究计划，该计划将马洛的著作置于欧洲政治思想的创新和变化的背景下，主要是从大约 1997 年开始在英国接受的。从 1572 年到 1593 年马洛去世（更多详细信息，请参阅“支持案例”）。推动计划中的研究的是一种基于书籍历史和接受研究以及政治文本解释的方法论，它有能力重振当前对马洛的学术研究，并挑战早期现代戏剧与政治思想联系方式的各个方面。该项目将适时地强调“我们的”（即英国民族文学）叙事中具有影响力的人物的欧洲维度。截至 2013 年 12 月的 6 个月期间（包括埃克塞特大学授予的研究假期）将为该奖学金所涵盖的研究计划奠定平台；其中包括向知名学术出版商（可能是牛津大学出版社）提交的一份研究专着（包括 2 个草稿章节）的提案。在第一阶段，该奖学金将支持一项为期 1 年的全日制研究计划，最终形成一本专着的其余章节，该专着追踪了截至 1593 年的大约 20 年期间英国对欧洲政治思想的接受情况，并将马洛的作品置于本材料的背景。第二个为期六个月的兼职阶段（截至 2015 年 9 月）将致力于传播、影响和领导力相关活动。其中包括在埃克塞特大学举行的为期两天的“国际马洛”会议以及欧洲大学和/或学术组织的研讨会之旅。在影响方面，他们还结合了专业戏剧公司“Splendid Productions”为德文郡地区的学校举办的一系列研讨会，将创造性地探索马洛的戏剧与政治思想之间的相互作用。其中一些研讨会的视频片段将上传到宣传该项目的网站上，其中将包括专门讨论会议、马洛时代政治思想的页面，并包括马洛戏剧中的五个剪辑场景，阐明了该奖学金背后的想法。在研究金开始时，将任命一名研究助理来帮助协调影响和传播计划。拟议的一系列研究、传播和领导活动将促进我从一名有前途的早期职业学者的职业发展，我于 2011 年初被任命为我的第一个研究职位，并于最近出版了第一本专着（战争自由与凯撒：牛津，2013 年）。它还将进一步加深我对政治思想与想象或模仿文学之间复杂交叉点的研究兴趣；在接待处；以及早期现代英国与国外之间的文学和知识联系，旨在未来设计大量资助和合作项目。
