2019, English

I have absolutely loved my time at Pembroke, and am incredibly grateful not only for the Jeremy Forty Scholarship, which will enable me to pursue my graduate research, but also for the opportunities and support I received throughout my undergraduate degree from all college members and staff: tutors, fellow students, and everyone who contributes to making Pembroke such a welcoming community.

Supported by the generosity of the Jeremy Forty scholarship, I am going to study an MPhil in English Studies at Newnham College, Cambridge, specialising in early modern literature with a specific interest in literature, the natural elements, and meditative melancholy. I strongly believe in the value of research in the humanities, and feel humbled to have received the Jeremy Forty Scholarship which will give me the opportunity to expand my thinking and continue working with the texts I love at a graduate level.
