The Lillian Gary Taylor Visiting Fellowship in American Literature
The Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature, and Culture at the University of Virginia Library is pleased to announce a competition for one pre-doctoral visiting fellowship in nineteenth-century American Literature for Spring 2009. The Lillian Gary Taylor Fellowship provides a $5,000 stipend, a private study in the Harrison Institute, and access to the Albert H. Small Special Collections Library, as well as the larger U.Va. Library. Fellows may choose to conduct research at the Institute from a period of one to three months, between February and May 2009. In order to be considered for the fellowship, applicants must live outside the state of Virginia.
To apply, please submit a cover letter describing the research to be conducted at the Institute, including specific reference to rare and unique materials housed in the Special Collections Library; a c.v.; a transcript; one letter of recommendation; and one writing sample. Special consideration will be given to projects that focus on Edgar A. Poe, whose life and work will be the subject of a major exhibit to open at the Harrison Institute in March 2009.
