Digital Miscellanies Index meets The World
Posted by Abigail Williams on Monday, January 10, 2011 with 2 comments
The Digital Miscellanies Index had its first significant outing in the scholarly world at this year's BSECS (British Society for Eighteenth Century Studies). In a brazen bid for world domination, we presented material from the project in three different sessions: a trial session of the live database with a panel of learned and generous guinea-pigs; a panel of papers by Claud, John, and Jenny, and a paper by me on snippets in miscellanies (alongside Judith Hawley in jewellery made of textual snippets). Next year's plans include a session of miscellany music in the Gardeners' Arms, and a craft workshop....
I learnt a lot of new things about the eighteenth century: about the cultural history of crying; sexual politics of Bohemian folk history; and not least, that the Godwin website has a significant following in Neenah, Wisconsin.

Please change your style sheet. The text is unreadable without switching off the style sheet. The light grey colour of text is far too light. The pink colour of the links is also too light. I will look forward to the online results - but a pity about the wait till 2013. What about putting up the title list of miscellanies etc ASAP?
ReplyDeletePeter, I've made some changes to the formatting so things should be a bit more readable now. It is difficult for us to publish a title list as we are working from a new bibliography which may be appearing in print. In the meantime you could look at Arthur Case's A Bibliography of English Poetical Miscellanies 1521-1750?
