This is a past event

The Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities and the Universities' Committee for Scottish Literature would like to announce the last of its four workshops designed to provide doctoral students of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature with the knowledge and skills required for the scholarly editing of texts from the period.

Doctoral students of literary studies from any Scottish university who book a place on any workshop will have second-class rail fare from their home university to the venue reimbursed. Lunch is also included. Attendance at previous workshops is not a prerequisite for participating in this one. Please book your place on this workshop by emailing Bob Irvine at r.p.irvine@ed.ac.uk
