English professor Emily VanDette has received the Helen F. Faust Women Writers Research Travel Grant from Penn State University Libraries. The grant will support VanDette’s research this summer at its Special Collections Library for her new project, “Six Scribbling Women and the Politics of Literary Reputation.”
The annual award is given to a researcher working on a project about women writers who would benefit from access to the vast Special Collections Library. Documents related to several of 19th century authors included in VanDette’s project are housed in the Penn State archive.
