Description
The ASECS-Clark Fellowship is jointly sponsored by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and the UCLA Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies / Clark Library. Offered biennially, it supports postdoctoral scholars and ABD graduate students pursuing projects on the Restoration or the eighteenth century through one month of residential research at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library in Los Angeles.
The fellowship connects these projects with the Library’s primary-source collections, which span the sixteenth through twentieth centuries. Particularly relevant strengths include Restoration drama and poetry, British literature and history, philosophy, music, the history of science, theology, and popular entertainments. Applicants must identify relevant Clark holdings in their proposals, making the relationship between the proposed research and the Library’s resources central to the application.
