Crystal B. Lake, a second-year Brittain Fellow in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture has received a Charles J. Cole Fellowship at the Lewis Walpole Library at Yale University.

The Walpole Library has significant holdings of eighteenth-century prints, drawings, manuscripts, books, and paintings, and supports advanced research in most aspects of British eighteenth-century studies. Lake (PhD Missouri, 2008) will be in residence for one month this summer, engaged in research on her book project, Radical Things: Politics and Artifacts in British Literature, 1660-1840.

The Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Ivan Allen College School of Literature, Communication, and Culture is a center for research and teaching in writing and communication.
