Series Three: The Medieval Age, c.1150-c.1500
"In the medieval period, unlike the period after printing, the manuscripts are the only contemporary authoritative texts. This great series of microfilms of medieval literature facilitate research in medieval English literature in a revolutionary way." Series Two: The Eighteenth Century, c.1700-c.1800
"There is an amazing profusion of scholarly materials here, forming the bedrock of literary investigation in this period including central documents for figures such as Pope, Sterne, Fanny Burney, Johnson and Blake. The manuscripts drawn on lie at the heart of serious literary study for Hanoverian Britain." |
