<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">London</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>, in collaboration
with the British Library, is seeking a postdoctoral research assistant from
October 2005 until 30 September 2008, to work on the AHRB-funded project 'Buried
Treasure: rediscovering the Lord Chamberlain's Collection of Plays.'
Mid-Victorians agreed with G.H. Lewes that 'drama is extinct as literature.' But
during the span of the project, 1852-1866, over 3000 plays were licensed for
performance. These<B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> </SPAN></B>undervalued
manuscripts were stored for many years in dark and inaccessible cupboards and
cellars until transferred to the British Library in 1973, and although they are
now stored in optimum conditions, it has so far been difficult to open them up
to new critical perspectives or to re-evaluation as performances rather literary
achievements.<B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> </SPAN></B>We propose to
uncover and publicise a first slice of the hidden wealth of these political
pantomimes, imperialist melodramas, versions of Uncle Tom's Cabin, farces about
feminism, and who knows what more.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3><SPAN lang=EN-US
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">The Assistant will be
trained in the use of the Manuscript online cataloguing system, and will work
through the manuscripts creating entries that describe each of them as fully as
possible, tracking down authors, theatres of first production and sometimes
sources or analogues, and describing the plays so that they can be accessed by
scholars in all disciplines. S/he will be interested in the art, literature and
social history of the Victorian period, with a PhD in theatre studies, English
or a similar area; a reading knowledge of French would be useful, as would a
temperament inclined to perfectionism and accuracy, and an inexhaustible and
persistent curiosity about the history of performance. The post could be
suitable for a job-share.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
