      Eighteenth-Century Studies

      This collection archives works of the eighteenth century from the perspectives of literary and cultural studies. Novels, plays, memoirs, treatises and poems of the period are kept here (in some cases, influential texts from before 1700 or after 1800 as well), along with modern criticism.

      We also recommend Jack Lynch's archive and the UCSB Voice of the Shuttle archive.
