Gossip and Nonsense: Excessive Language in Renaissance France
Dr Emily Butterworth is Co-Investigator on this AHRC-funded project, which will examine the more demotic and marginal aspects of Renaissance copiousness. She is collaborating with Dr Hugh Roberts (Exeter), and will work on the strand on gossip and its uses and representations in literature.
In addition to two monographs on gossip and nonsense, the project will include a PhD studentship, an international colloquium, and artworks by Clare Qualmann and Dominic Hills.
