Message from Dr. Marie-Louise Coolahan

Dear Colleagues

As Principal Investigator of the recently funded ERC Consolidator Grant ‰Û÷RECIRC: The Reception and Circulation of Early Modern Women’s Writing, 1550-1700′ , on behalf of the RECIRC team, I would like to invite you to its formal launch by the Registrar, on

Tuesday, October 14

at 6.15pm

Moore Institute Seminar Room, Room G010, Hardiman Research Building

The RECIRC project will produce a large-scale, quantitative analysis of the reception and circulation of women’s writing from 1550 to 1700. The results will enable analysis of how texts, ideas and reputations gained traction in the early modern period. The focus includes writers who were read in Ireland and Britain as well as women born and resident in Anglophone countries.

The project is made up of four Work Packages and involves the contribution of five newly appointed researchers and one PhD student, all of whom are now based at NUIG. They are:

Work Package 1: Transnational Religious Networks – Dr. Emilie Murphy

Work Package 2: The International Republic of Letters – Dr. Felicity Maxwell and Evan Bourke

Work Package 3: The Manuscript Miscellany as Instrument of Circulation and Site of Reception – Dr. Sajed Chowdhury & Dr. Erin McCarthy

Work Package 4: Transmission Trails and Book Ownership – Dr. Mark Empey

We hope you are free to join us for the event and we look forward to seeing you there.
