Bibliography

There were, literally, thousands of titles of newspapers, magazines, journals, periodicals and reviews published from 1760 to about 1850 – the main focus of the project’s corpus – in Britain alone. When we add the project’s other countries of interest – France, Germany, and Poland – the scope becomes larger still. The healthy availability of online tools for research are both a blessing and a new challenge: increasingly boundless scope for exploration, but also an unwieldy dataset.

No bibliography – or project – can have complete coverage, but what’s important is a coherent research methodology to help with data collection and synthesis. That begins with a good working bibliography of primary material – which is what is provided here. It will be added to and refined over the course of the project. The list critical works cited will also be developed as the project’s research develops.
