The collection brings together rare journals printed between c.1685 and 1835, illuminating all aspects of eighteenth-century social, political and literary life.  Many are ephemeral, lasting only for a handful of issues, others run for several years. Topics covered are extremely wide-ranging and include: colonial life; provincial and rural affairs; the French and American revolutions; reviews of literature and fashion throughout Europe; political debates; and London coffee house gossip and discussion.  A highlight is the inclusion of the full run of The Lady’s Magazine, 1770-1832.

NB. Please note that PDF download options are not available during this trial access period.
