- This project developed over a 5 year period: articles in the Colloquium were contributed by selected partners and participants in the Leverhulme Trust funded International Research Network, ‘Women’s Literary Culture and the Medieval English Canon’, which held meetings at Chawton House Library in 2015, Boston University in 2016 and the University of Bergen in 2017. The contribution to the output involved Watt’s leadership of the project as sole Principal Investigator and co-editing the Colloquium (50%), including selecting and reviewing the 6 Colloquium submissions, responding to external peer reviewers, and working closely with the journal editors to ensure overall coherence. A key focus on the Colloquium is interrogation of the idea of the literary canon. The editors ensured representation of a range of methodologies (including empirical research, close readings of literary texts, and manuscript analysis) and that particular attention was paid to the significance of gender in relation not only to genre and form, but also to literary reception and networks and genealogies of readers. The output furthermore includes co-authorship (50%) of the introduction and sole-authorship (100%) of one of the contributions, ‘The Paston Women and Chaucer: Reading Women and Canon Formation in the Fifteenth Century’.
