Description
The Keats-Shelley Association of America awards these grants annually to support research expenses in Romantic-era literature and culture, including archival visits, manuscript consultations, and other investigative work. First awarded in 2000, the grants honor Carl H. Pforzheimer, Jr., the Association’s past president, advocate, and benefactor, and continue his family foundation’s tradition of supporting scholarship in early nineteenth-century English literature.
Preference is given to projects involving subjects featured in The Keats-Shelley Journal. Projects need not be author-based or focus on Keats or the Shelleys. The Association particularly encourages research that expands traditional definitions of Romantic studies and its futures, including work engaging race, empire, gender, class, and global Romanticisms through diverse methodological and theoretical frameworks.
