REVIEWS
““British Literary Manuscripts Online, c. 1660–1900 shows what rich resources exist for the study of literary works in manuscript from the Restoration to the late nineteenth century. What makes this project unique is the way in which collections from libraries in different parts of the world can be brought together to create an essential archive of primary materials. The possibilities such a resource has for research and teaching are enormous and have yet to be explored fully. As a new direction in manuscript studies of all periods, Gale's project is truly innovative.””
““With this major project, important manuscripts from the US and Great Britain have been collected in one database for all levels of researchers, regardless of circumstance. This resource allows manuscript study to be integrated into the literature, humanities, and history curricula, promoting interdisciplinary study and research. Highly recommended. Upper-level undergraduates and above.””
