McCullough, Professor Peter
Job Title: Professor of English and Tutorial Fellow
College: Lincoln
Period/ Subject: Early Modern
Email address: peter.mccullough@lincoln.ox.ac.uk
Research Interests:
My research over the next five years will be dominated almost entirely by work on The Oxford Edition of the Sermons of John Donne. I will be editing two of my own volumes (early Jacobean court sermons, and early St Paul's cathedral sermons respectively), which work consists of establishing text and writing detailed commentary. I will also be editing the volumes by other contributing editors as they come in, in my capacity as General Editor. I will be completing work on my court sermon volume in 2011, and at about the same time, the first volume to be completed by another colleague will hit my desk for general editing. Over the same period I will continue to be supervising the work of my AHRC Post-doctoral Research Assistant, which will be in transition from his major collational campaign of print witnesses and tagging of manuscript transcriptions, into analysis of that data for the edition's Textual Companion (the final, 16th, vol. in the edition), which we are to co-author.
I will also continue to keep a hand in research and writing of my OUP-contracted biography of Lancelot Andrewes.
My appointment as Lay Canon of St Paul's, with portfolio for history, will continue to generate unique opportunities for 'impact' beyond the strictly-defined academy, including talks to important bodies in the City of London and the Church of England, and (as the Chapter member responsible for the interpretation of the building and its historical collections for the public) implementation of its major new permanent exhibition in the cathedral Triforium.
