- Double-weighted statement
- I would like my monograph ‘Exhibiting Animals in Nineteenth-Century Britain: Empathy, Education, Entertainment’ to be double-weighted because it tackles a comparatively understudied subject and entailed the collection and analysis of a large body of primary material. Many of the sources used for this 100,000 word-long book were located in libraries and archives in the UK, necessitating several lengthy research trips. I also spent a long time searching digitised 19C newspapers, uncovering previously unused information about travelling menageries. My book covers a relatively long period of history (1780-1900), which increased the time needed to research and write it.
