Wolfson is a postgraduate college and proposes to make one election to a Stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship for three years starting in October 2013.
Wolfson College provides a lively interdisciplinary environment for the study of the Humanities. Alongside researchers in History, Classics, English and Oriental Studies, there is a thriving postgraduate and academic community of Modern Linguists. Wolfson now proposes to create a Stipendiary Research Fellowship in 'Literature in European Languages', broadly defined as research into the literary cultures created in the languages of Europe (excluding English), wherever those cultures might flourish geographically. Areas of study could include the texts (or
authors) of prose, poetry or drama, from the medieval period to the present day, from manuscripts to electronic media, and could extend to embrace a variety of approaches including, for example, thematic concerns, genre definition, life-writing or performance.
