Nineteenth Century Collections European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection features over 9,500 full-text titles in English, French, and German, sourced from the exceptional library of Victor Amadeus. This collection represents one of the most significant compilations of Romantic era writing, encompassing fiction, short prose, drama, poetry, and more, with a focus on lesser-known and historically overlooked authors. Built in the late 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both avid bibliophiles, the library includes a diverse array of works from novels and short stories to belles lettres and popular literature, with many rare titles unavailable elsewhere. These previously unknown works are particularly valuable for scholars and researchers. The collection covers various genres, including Gothic novels, anthologies, and dramatic works, selected with input from an international team of experts. These primary sources offer unprecedented research opportunities for exploring one of history's most studied periods.
