From Goslar to Grasmere is a collaborative project between Lancaster University and The Wordsworth Trust. It involves manuscript materials for two Wordsworth texts (early Prelude material and Home at Grasmere) which are both about the importance of place to the writing of poetry - either in escaping from a hostile environment through writing poetry that draws on memories of place, or in celebrating a final home-coming to the Lakes. All original manuscript materials are held at Dove Cottage, Grasmere. By putting the manuscript materials online we want to open up an understanding of the relationship between actual physical place (today) and imagined, textual space in the content of the poem and the making of the manuscript. We would like visitors to the actual site, and to the virtual site to be given a new way of understanding this relationship by means of our project.

The Nineteenth Century English Novel Bibliogrpahic Resources webpage is a large bibliography on material published both in book and hypertext format for research in nineteenth-century novels. As well as texts on the internet, there are various websites about authors and literary movements. Beginning in the Romantic period with authors such as Jane Austen, Mary Wollestonecraft, Mary Shelley, William Cowper, William Blake, Sir Walter Scott and William Wordsworth, the site works its way through the nineteenth-century, the largest section devoted to the Victorian novel.
