Description
The ASECS-Clark Fellowship is jointly sponsored by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) and the UCLA Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies / William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. It supports postdoctoral scholars and ABD graduate students pursuing projects concerning the Restoration or the eighteenth century through use of the Clark Library’s collections. The fellowship is offered biennially for one month of residential research.
The Clark’s primary-source holdings span the sixteenth through twentieth centuries. Relevant strengths include Restoration drama and poetry, British literature and history, philosophy, music, history of science, theology, and popular entertainments. Proposed research should identify specific Clark materials relevant to the project, with research undertaken in person throughout the residency.
