Congratulations to Alison Sinclair, Professor of Modern Spanish Literature and Intellectual History at Cambridge, who has been awarded a major grant by the Arts and Humanities Research Council to support her current research on ‘Wrongdoing in Spain, 1800-1936: Realities, Representations and Reactions’. The project includes (but is not limited to) the digitization and cataloguing of some 4500 items held in the University Library and the British Library. This body of material offers a rich source of investigation for the project, and will be read in conjunction with other material (newspaper accounts of crime, judicial proceedings on the one hand, and fictional works on wrongdoing to be found in both popular culture and elite culture). The digitization of the ‘pliegos sueltos’ will be a significant contribution to the stewardship, conservation and enhanced accessibility of a body of cultural material which has its counterparts in English, and which allow the research to take place in a broader academic and cultural context.
