The Digital Miscellanies Index is a three-year Leverhulme-funded project that will create a freely available online database of the 1,000 poetic miscellanies published over the course of the eighteenth century.
About the project
Poetic miscellanies are vital to understanding the diversity of eighteenth-century literary culture. In mapping the contents of these popular collections, the Digital Miscellanies Index will enable researchers to know, with greater precision and scope than ever before, who was reading what, when and how.
