Linda Woodbridge, the Josephine Berry Weiss chair in the humanities and professor of English at Penn State, has been named as a 2008 recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, to pursue research in English revenge drama. Woodbridge is one of 190 named Fellows, chosen this year from a group of more than 2,600 applicants, to share in awards totaling $8.2 million. Her Guggenheim project is to finish writing the book "English Revenge Drama: Money, Resistance, Equality." The book seeks to account for the popularity of a large number of sensationalistic revenge plays of the 16th and 17th centuries in terms of their connections with money (double-entry bookkeeping, a culture of credit), with political resistance, and with growing egalitarianism within a socially-stratified society.
