From their work at the Center, these scholars have published nearly 700 books, 60 or more of which have won scholarly and literary prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, and the Dartmouth Medal.  While at the NHC,  Dr. Gough  will work on a projected book, tentatively entitled "Divine Beauty: Henrietta Maria and Women's Courtly Performance in Early Seventeenth-Century France and England."  For her work on this project, Gough has also won research travel grants from the Renaissance Society of America and the Oklahoma Humanities Council as well as a fellowship at the Folger Shakespeare Library for June 2002.
