The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.

Katherine Philips

Katherine Philips (1632-64) was a celebrated writer in her own time, a central figure in a literary coterie who was known by her coterie name Orinda. Her poetry ranged from poems addressed to her close female friends to those expressing her royalist sympathies. Pompey, her translation of Pierre Corneille's La Mort de Pompée, was supported by prominent political figures in Ireland and successfully produced in Dublin. It was published in both Dublin and London and was featured in the posthumously published folio edition of her works.
