El Dr John Stone, professor agregat “Serra Hunter” del Departament de Llengües i Literatures Modernes, ha obtingut la beca de recerca Charles J. Cole de la Yale University per al curs acadèmic 2019-2020 amb el projecte “Networks of Amateur British Hispanism, 1750-1808” [“Xarxes d’hispanisme amateur al Regne Unit, 1750-1808”]. El projecte té l'objectiu de perfilar exemples d’hispanisme d’individus sense cap vincle aparent amb el domini lingüístic hispànic, com ara l’activitat traductora de la galesa Hester Lynch i la seva filla, Hester Maria Thrale.

La beca cobreix un mes de recerca a la Lewis Walpole Library, una biblioteca de recerca especialitzada en el segle XVIII, a més de desplaçaments puntuals a la Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library de Yale, un dels arxius literaris més importants del món. 

John Stone Awarded Charles J. Cole Fellowship at Yale's Lewis Walpole Library

Dr John Stone, Serra Hunter fellow and associate professor at the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and English Studies, has been awarded the one-month Charles J. Cole fellowship for research on the project "Networks of Amateur Hispanism, 1750-1808" at Yale University's Lewis Walpole Library. Dr Stone's project looks at interest in the Spanish language, literature and intellectual life among individuals with no apparent links to the Spanish-speaking world, such as Mrs Piozzi and her daughter Hester Maria, who both translated into and from Spanish.

The Lewis Walpole Library specialises in eighteenth-century holdings and research materials.  The fellowship, which may be taken up at any time between July 2019 and June 2020, includes occasional use of Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, one of the world's largest literary archives.
