This database from Rutgers is designed for the study of The Tatler (1709-1711) and The Spectator (1711-1714), two innovative eighteenth-century periodicals, both of which are completely available here.
Primarily concerned with the exposure of lesser-known British women writers of the 19th century, the collection contains an array of genres, including poetry, novels, children's books, political pamphlets, religious tracts, histories, and more.
