Professor Dallas Liddle of the English Department was recently awarded a 2018 Curran Fellowship by the scholarly organization Research Society for Victorian Periodicals. Curran Fellowships are awards of up to $5000 to support primary and archival research into the Victorian periodical press, funded by a bequest from pioneering periodicals researcher Eileen Curran of Colby College. Liddle’s project is a book manuscript on the systems history of Victorian newspapers titled “News Machines: Technology and Agency in British Daily Journalism, 1785-1885.” The fellowship award will support a research trip to London in June 2018 to view artifacts and materials at the British Library, Science Museum, London School of Economics, News UK Archive, and St. Bride Printing Library.
