As a fifth-year PhD student in English at UVa, I am currently in my third year as fellow with the NINES group based at UVa. My experience with NINES has exposed me to the many opportunities for exciting research within the world of DH, and although I began my fellowship primarily focused on textual and bibliographic issues, my interests have since expanded. I am in the process of creating a digital critical edition of Julia Margaret Cameron's photographically-illustrated edition of Tennyson's _Idylls of the King_, which I expect to complete within the next year. This project directly ties into my dissertation, which investigates what I perceive as a relationship between early debates about the status of photography as an art form and the similarly contested status of women poets as "artists" in the Victorian literary marketplace. The ideas for other digital projects that I explain above grow out of the work I've already done with my Cameron edition and would enhance my dissertation.
