The Chawton Lecturer
Chawton House Library supports a Chawton Lecturer who splits her time between the University of Southampton and the Library.
The current Chawton Lecturer is Dr Gillian Dow, who was appointed in July 2005. Her research focuses mainly on French and British cultural exchanges, and women's writing in the long eighteenth century, and she has published articles on educational writings, literature for children, eighteenth-century literary magazines and reviews, and Anglo-French cultural relations 1700-1900. For more information about Gillian Dow's research interests, please see her homepage on the University of Southampton website.
