All PRS Events Cancelled for 2020
The Pre-Raphaelite Society has decided to make the difficult decision to cancel all PRS talks and events until further notice due to the ongoing Coronavirus (Covid-19) emergency - this includes the PRS AGM normally held in October. We hope we
are able to offer our usual events programme in 2021.
Please check back for regular updates. 

2021 Goldman Pre-Raphaelite Fellowship 
The University of Delaware Library, in Newark, Delaware, USA and the Delaware Art Museum, USA are pleased to offer a joint Fellowship in Pre-Raphaelite studies, funded by the Amy P. Goldman Foundation. This one-month Fellowship, awarded annually, is intended for scholars conducting significant research in the lives and works of the Pre-Raphaelites and their friends, associates, and followers.  Research of a wider scope, which considers the Pre-Raphaelite movement and related topics in relation to Victorian art and literature, and cultural or social history, will also be considered. Projects which provide new information or interpretation—dealing with unrecognized figures, women writers and artists, print culture, iconography, illustration, catalogues of artists’ works, or studies of specific objects—are particularly encouraged, as are those which take into account transatlantic relations between Britain and the United States. Applicants, whose research specifically utilizes holdings of the University of Delaware Library, the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, the Delaware Art Museum, and the Helen Farr Sloan Library and Archives, are preferred.

For More Information about the Fellowship, please download the file below:
