The Brown University
Women Writers Project "Our goal is to bring texts by pre-Victorian
women writers out of the archive and make them accessible to a wide audience
of teachers, students, scholars, and the general reader. We support research
on women's writing, text encoding, and the role of electronic texts in
teaching and scholarship." Cornell College subscribes to this textbase;
see especially "Renaissance Writers Online."
