    Hello everyone,
    I'm planning to compile a corpus of fiction and non-fiction texts for
    a seminar on "The Making of Modern English Grammar". I'm mostly
    interested in texts dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. I'm
    currently thinking of (also) using a selection of the Gutenberg texts
    for this purpose.
    Is there any more information available on the texts (year of
    publication etc.) so that I don't have to look up each text
    individually? I have so far only seen lists that are ordered by
    author name or the year of inclusion into the Gutenberg collection...
    Any help is very welcome!
