Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers. The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers. European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels * Short Stories * Belles-Lettres * Short Prose Forms * Dramatic Works * Poetry * Anthologies * And more Selected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.

Autorenporträt
William Hazlitt (1778-1830), a seminal English writer known for his humanistic essays and literary criticism, was born in Maidstone, Kent, and educated by his father, a Unitarian minister. By the early 19th century, Hazlitt became a prominent figure among the literary circle that included the likes of Wordsworth and Coleridge, though his views later diverged from their romantic inclinations. A prolific writer, Hazlitt crafted some of the most incisive prose of his time, marked by clarity, vigor, and the poignant articulation of personal experience into universal truths. His works often reflected his keen interest in art, politics, philosophy, and social commentary, with a style that mixed introspection with critical acuity. 'Table Talk; or, Original Essays' (1821-1822), a two-volume collection of Hazlitt's essays, showcases a conversational tone while presenting an eclectic range of subjects from the fine arts to the pleasures of hating, blending scholarly criticism with casual reflection. The essays are celebrated for their critical precision and spirited eloquence, embodying the robust analytical tradition in English letters. Hazlitt's approachable yet scholarly style resulted in essays that were both meditative on human nature and indicative of the society of his era.
