Research Projects

DFG Project Anthony Ashley Cooper, Third Earl of Shaftesbury, Complete Works
The Shaftesbury Project is hosted by the FAU and funded, in conjunction with the university, by the German Research Foundation. Our principle aim is to produce a standard (printed) edition not only of the works sent to press by Shaftesbury during his lifetime, but also of his unpublished writings and of extant letters to and from the Earl.

Epistolary Culture in the English Restoration
This research project, funded by Fritz-Thyssen-Stiftung für Wissenschaftsforschung (2018-2023), joins together a range of aspects of early modern literary culture that will contribute significantly to how we understand the late seventeenth-century as a moment whose generic instability within the area of narrative prose fiction gave rise to various forms of experimentation and import from other genres and modes. For this research project, the main focus rests on matters related to epistolary media.
