Resource: Early modern English books

Flicka · Mar 23, 2015

Maybe you all know this, but I wanted to tell you that you can now access a lot of early modern, in some cases extremely rare, titles:

http://www.lib.umich.edu/news/25000-early-english-books-open-public

The University of Michigan Library, the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Libraries and ProQuest have made public more than 25,000 manually transcribed texts from the first 200 years of the printed book (1473-1700). These texts represent a significant portion of the estimated total output of English-language work published during the first two centuries of printing in England.

Full-text public access to the transcribed EEBO-TCP texts is hosted by the U-M Library at quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebogroup. The Bodleian offers individual text downloads in several formats, including ePUB files.

Enjoy!
