LAHRI and Special Collections are delighted to announce our new Bedford Fellow, Dr Ruby Rutter.

Ruby completed her PhD at the University of Manchester under the title of  'Elite Women, Emotions and the Lived Experience in the Eighteenth-Century Country House, 1700-1830'

Her Bedford project is titled: Buying Happiness: Emotion and Design in Eighteenth and Nineteenth-Century Advertising Ephemera.

We look forward to seeing how the project develops in the coming months and will post more about it in due course.
