Dr Emma Gilby from the Department of French and Dr Rodrigo Cacho from the Department of Spanish and Portuguese were honoured recently by ̽��ֱ��Leverhulme Trust for their outstanding research contributions: Dr Gilby for her meticulous scholarship of the 17th-century French literary-historical canon, and Dr Cacho for his research on Spanish Golden Age Literature.

During the tenure of their prizes, Dr Gilby will be working on 17th-century theories of indifference and free will, with particular reference to Descartes, and Dr Cacho will be editing the works of Quevedo and writing a monograph on the Spanish mock-epic.

Approximately 25 Philip Leverhulme Prizes are awarded each year across five different topics, each prize providing £70,000 to enhance the prize-holder’s research over a two-year period.

Professor Richard Hunter, Chair of the School of Arts and Humanities, is delighted for the two researchers: ‘ ̽��ֱ��prize is appropriate recognition for two outstanding early-career academics and a fitting testimony to the flourishing of research on European literature and culture in Cambridge.’

Two early-career academics in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages have been recognised by the Philip Leverhulme Prize.
