Prestigious Newton International Fellowship awarded to Dr Gabriele Bonomelli to work in the School of History / MEMS

The British Academy has awarded a prestigious Newton International Fellowship to Dr Gabriele Bonomelli to work in the School of History / MEMS and collaborate with Professor Barbara Bombi.

Dr Bonomelli will be joining Kent for two years to work on the project ‘Dynamics of Conflict: Original Perspectives on Religious Turmoil in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe (1378-1603)’.

The project will investigate the production of fictitious letters, namely satirical poems, fictitious dialogues, and Latin and Vernacular pamphlets and invectives that were addressed to the major political and religious figures between between the outbreak of the Great Western Schism in 1378 and the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603.

The School of History and MEMS are delighted to welcome Dr Bonomelli and are looking forward to collaborating on his exciting project.
