Robinson Crusoé I

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.
