Ahmanson Fellow Begins Research at LSC
Jane Raisch has been awarded one of the first Ahmanson Research Fellowships for the Study of Medieval and Renaissance Books and Manuscripts. Raisch is a doctoral candidate in the department of Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley. A native New Yorker, she received her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in English and Classics and then taught English and Latin at The Field School in Washington, DC. Her research at Berkeley focuses on the reception of Greek in Early Modern English literature and her dissertation, chaired by Victoria Kahn and Joanna Picciotto, examines the role Greek plays in the connection between scholarship and poetics. At UCLA Library Special Collections, she’ll be mainly working with Greek books from the Aldine press in an attempt to understand the ways in which Greek language and texts were read, encountered, and recovered. She’s interested in how the technical work of the material and historical reconstitution of ancient Greek texts bleeds into the theoretical and speculative work of Early Modern fiction.
