EUROPEAN LITERATURE, 1790-1840:
THE CORVEY COLLECTION
This unique collection of monographs includes a wide range of Romantic
literature published in English, French, and German. Sourced from Castle
Corvey in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, the Corvey Collection is one
of the most important surviving collections of works from the period. With
a special focus on these rare works — especially difficult-to-find works
by lesser-known women writers — more than 9,500 titles are included.
With European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection, scholars can
research topics including Romantic literary genres, mutual influences of
British, French, and German Romanticism, literary culture, women writers
of the period, the canon, Romantic aesthetics, and many others.
BRITISH THEATRE, MUSIC,
AND LITERATURE: HIGH
AND POPUL AR CULTURE
British Theatre, Music, and Literature: High and Popular
Culture includes receipts and archives from the Drury Lane
Theatre, Royal Philharmonic Society music manuscripts, and
the (largely forgotten) Wandering Minstrels archive, which
opens a rare glimpse into the decades of Gilbert and Sullivan.
The archive enables scholars to explore primary sources
covering such topics as Victorian popular culture, street
literature, social history, music, bloods and penny dreadfuls,
professional acting on the London stage, the Royal Literary
Fund, British dramatic works, and many others. As a record
of everyday life, it is nothing short of extraordinary.
