Applications for MA and PhD degrees must be accompanied by a proposal for a thesis or dissertation. Graduates at the Institute generally prepare an edition for their thesis or dissertation, though we will also consider proposals that have a marked editorial dimension without actually comprising an edition (a study of Shakespearean textual problems, for example, would fall into this category).<\/p>\n
The proposal should include: a provisional title; issues and questions to be investigated; the approach or approaches to be taken; and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. Applications for the PhD program should indicate the importance of the research in relation to existing work. When preparing their proposal, applicants are welcome to seek advice from members of the Editorial Institute.<\/p>\n
