Grant success for JRRI project

A JRRI-funded seed corn project has received three years' funding from Leverhulme.

Congratulations to Stephen Parker, Henry Simon Professor of German, and Matthew Jeffries, Professor of German History, who have been awarded a Leverhulme Project Grant for their project 'Double Agent: Heinrich Simon's Constitutional Mission in Neo-Absolutist Prussia'.

The three-year project, which began life as a small seed-corn project funded by the JRRI, will examine the papers of Heinrich Simon (1805-60), the only leader of the German 1848 Revolution who remains largely unresearched.
