The Library’s new digital collection, ‘Perdita Manuscripts:  Women Writers, 1500-1700‘,  is a rich resource for those researching women’s studies, history and literature.

The collection consists of the full text of original manuscripts, reproduced as greyscale facsimiles.  The manuscripts (e.g. account books,  advice, almanacs, autobiography, biblical writings, biography, diaries, drama, historical writings, medical writings, prose, religious writing, travel writing, verse, etc.) were written or compiled by women in the British Isles during the 16th and 17th Centuries and they have been sourced from archives and libraries across the United Kingdom and the USA.  One of the key attractions of Perdita Manuscripts is that it brings together little known material from widely scattered locations and provides a biographical and bibliographical resources, and contextual essays by academics working in the field.
