Sito web dedicato all'immagine della donna nella letteratura gotica anglofona dal romanticismo all'epoca contemporanea facente parte del Gender, Literature, and Art Index a cura di Kathrin Nichols, Pittsburgh University
This website was dedicated to British Gothic drama and its various manifestations between 1768 - the year of composition of the first Gothic tragedy, Horace Walpole's The Mysterious Mother- and the later, pre-Victorian, culture of the 1820s and 30s. The materials made available here range from critical bibliographies to links to internet resources and teaching and study aids, and are offered as a starting-point for all those readers who wish to explore Gothic drama and theatre in order to rediscover a cultural phenomenon which, although now relatively unfamiliar to contemporary readers, was as notorious, shocking and frightening as the better-known Gothic romance. This website is no longer updated.
The Burney Society honours Frances Burney d'Arblay (1752-1840), a woman who recorded everything from Johnsonian wit to George III's fits, from Evelina's entrance into the world to Napoleon's last stand. Her acute observations about her family, friends, and 18th-century society show us how much, and how little, life and literature have changed in two centuries.
The Shelley-Godwin Archive will provide the digitized manuscripts of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, William Godwin, and Mary Wollstonecraft, bringing together online for the first time ever the widely dispersed handwritten legacy of this uniquely gifted family of writers. The result of a partnership between the New York Public Library and the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities, in cooperation with Oxford's Bodleian Library, the S-GA also includes key contributions from the Huntington Library, the British Library, and the Houghton Library. In total, these partner libraries contain over 90% of all known relevant manuscripts. The site is currently in Beta release and works best when viewed in Chrome.
Eighteenth-Century Book Tracker is dedicated to indexing freely-available digital facsimiles of eighteenth-century texts and cross-referencing them to standard bibliographical reference sources. This site provides a clearinghouse for discovering and sharing links to eighteenth-century primary materials. Eighteenth-Century Book Tracker aims to build a database of bibliographically accurate records that link to freely-available texts online. By pooling its users' expertise, the site brings bibliographical order to the sometimes haphazard world of mass digitization. This site is devoted to preserving the identity of eighteenth-century books in a digital realm where such distinctions are at risk of being lost in a sea of mere text. The database currently includes 2,702 links, representing 1,232 texts and 22 periodicals.
RECSO is the University of Oxford's online community for Romanticism and Eighteenth-Century Studies. Hosted by the English Faculty, our purpose is to provide a central forum for graduates and researchers from all departments to engage with the latest in the long eighteenth century. With information on seminars, Bodleian collections, academic contacts and postgraduate projects, we hope to improve access to the range of events and expertise on offer at Oxford, and to promote collaborative networks and interdisciplinary study.
This Web site hosts the draft text of the new version of the second part of 'The London stage, 1660-1800'.

The British Women Romantic Poets Project is a digital initiative of the University of Carolina Library, Davis (USA). The resource consists of E-text editions of poetry by British and Irish women written (not necessarily published) between 1789 (the onset of the French Revolution) and 1832 (the passage of the Reform Act), a period traditionally known in English literary history as the Romantic period. These are fully searchable online.
The Keats-Shelley Association of America (K-SAA) emerged from a coalition of scholars, critics, bibliophiles, editors, students, teachers - all engaged with the brilliant accomplishments of Keats and Shelley and, more practically, working to purchase and endow the maintenance of the Keats House in Rome and provide ongoing care of the poets' graves in Rome's Protestant Cemetery. In 1949 the American Committee was incorporated as the Keats-Shelley Association of America.
