Subject: Corpora: Availability of British 18th and 19th Century Corpora
Does anybody have information on the availability of 18th and 19th century
British written corpora?
I am particulalry interested in material which is freely accessible or
readily downloadable or relatively affordable.
I am a relative newcomer to this field of research, so all leads are
greatly appreciated.
