Inaugurating The Peter Sabor Fellowship
The Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and the Burney Society of North America have partnered to establish a new fellowship named after Distinguished James McGill Professor Emeritus, Burney editor, long-time member, and past President of CSECS, Peter Sabor.
As Canada Research Chair and Director of the Burney Centre at McGill University (2003鈥�24), Peter Sabor has published an impressive body of work, primarily scholarly editions of the writings and correspondence of notable authors, including Horace Walpole, Samuel Richardson, Jane Austen, Sarah Fielding, John Cleland, William Shakespeare, and Canadian writer Mavis Gallant. His work has revolutionized the field of Burney studies, with his edition of her all-but-forgotten plays, and the completion of eight volumes of her journals and letters. He has also brought to fruition the six-volume edition of Charles Burney鈥檚 letters which will be of interest to musicologists and cultural historians.
