Nominator's project description
| Professor Nichols is known internationally for creating Material Philology, a historical approach that uses medieval manuscripts to study literature of the period. In connection with this method, he helped establish at Johns Hopkins a digital library of medieval manuscripts providing worldwide access to these artifacts. During his stay in Germany, Professor Nichols will study the role of the Middle Ages in shaping historiography and the genre of the historical novel in the early nineteenth century. A key focus of the project will examine the influence of Gothic architecture as Goethe understood it. |
