Leeds has considerable strengths in both textual scholarship and the history of the book.  The School of English is home to a dynamic group of textual scholars, engaged in work in all periods.  Fellows will be able to work closely with the rich collections of the Brotherton Library.  They will also be able to collaborate with the various digital humanities initiatives taking place in the Library and elsewhere around campus.  Finally, Leeds is home to the Centre for the Comparative History of Print (Centre CHoP), a cross-faculty research group that brings together many of those interested in these areas, along with those in the related disciplines such as design and fine art.  The Centre is currently engaged in a project to restore the University's historical print room, which contains a paper-making equipment, a bindery, four presses, and sets of type.
