English major Nicole Sweeney ’11 is spending her summer as an EXCEL Scholar working on a poetry project with James Woolley, Frank Lee and Edna M. Smith Professor of English.
Woolley was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for research toward a scholarly edition of eighteenth-century satirist Jonathan Swift’s poems. The project, entitled “The Canon and Chronology of Swift’s Poems,” will attempt, for poems that have been doubtfully attributed to Swift, to link each one with its respective personal, social, and political circumstances.
The edition will be published in four volumes by Cambridge University Press. It also is being supported by the Swift Poems Project, an electronic archive of early printed and manuscript texts of Swift’s poems that Woolley co-edits.
