Nineteenth Century Collections Online Includes “British Theatre, Music, and Literature: High and Popular Culture,” which features a wide range of primary sources related to the arts in the nineteenth century, from playbills and scripts to operas and complete scores. These documents, many of them never before available, are sourced from the British Library and other institutions. Curation is by experts in British arts history. British Theatre, Music, and Literature covers more than a century and encompasses both the Georgian and Victorian theatre.
Also includes the “Corvey Collection of European Literature”, which consists of full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises an important collection of Romantic era writing. It includes fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry and more, with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers.
