DATABASE
OF
BRITISH
FICTION,
1800–1829
[See our Current Research section
for fuller details, which will be updated regularly as the projects
progress.]
1) Database of Romantic
Fiction, 1800–1830: established in March 1997,
the database is based on over a decade’s research by Professor
Peter Garside, and was developed by Dr
Anthony Mandal.
 The
first phase has resulted in the
creation of over 2,260 full entries on early nineteenth-century
novels and tales, with details on authorship, gender, holding
libraries, subscription details, price, and format.
A
pilot project (February 2000–September
2001) was run to develop the database further and resulted in
the appointment of a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate,
Dr Jacqueline Belanger, to the
project.
In
October 2001, a second Postdoctoral Research
Associate, Dr Sharon Ragaz, was appointed to work with
the project team (Jacqueline Belanger, Peter Garside, Anthony
Mandal, David Skilton).
The
final phase (October 2001–September
2004), now complete, provides a fuller record of the reception
of these works, using reviews, anecdotal evidence, subscription
lists, newspaper advertisements, and impression numbers, among
others.
