PhD Scholarship : Enlightenment, peripheries and the transmission of ideas: The Magazine of Magazines ( Limerick: Andrew Welsh, 1751-1769)

The scholarship arises as a result of the University of Limerick's participation in the Irish Social Sciences Platform (ISSP) which brings together expertise from eight Irish institutional partners and 19 academic disciplines to create a truly all-island, interdisciplinary platform for social science research. ISSP has been granted €16.5m as part of the Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions (PRTLI), Cycle 4.

The project will explore the transmission of ideas between continental Europe, Britain and the west of Ireland via this periodical.  A number of approaches are possible: for example, a candidate with a good knowledge of French or German might choose to investigate the place of literature emanating from these language areas in the publication.

Further details on the topic are available from the Supervisors: Professor Geraldine Sheridan , Eighteenth Century Research Group, Department of Languages and Cultural Studies
