17th and 18th-century
Description:
Offers complete facsimile of 190 manuscripts of 17th and 18th-century poetry held in the Brotherton Collection at the University of Leeds. Full manuscripts can be downloaded as PDFs without OCR or a transcription of a page (current transcription), but it is a computer-generated transcript, and it may contain errors. The core of the collection includes poems and verses ranging from well-known poems by canonical authors to amateur verse, covering a huge variety of topics.
