There is much intense critical activity from researchers interested
in the 18th century and women's studies, and as a result many of
Haywood's works are now coming back into print. This is a
comprehensive bibliography of Haywood, that lists newly discovered
work and gives the history of lost works.
The songbooks of the 1830-40s were printed in tiny numbers, and
small format so they could be hidden in a pocket, passed round or
thrown away. Collectors have sought 'these priceless chapbooks',
but only recently a collection of 49 songbooks has come to light.
This collection represents almost all of the known songbooks from
the period.

Marginal Notes: Social Reading and the Literal Margins offers an
account of literary marginalia based on original research from a
range of unique archival sources, from mid-16th-century France to
early 20th-century Tasmania. Chapters examine marginal commentary
from 17th-century China, 18th-century Britain, and 19th-century
America, investigating the reputations, as reflected by attentive
readers, of He Zhou, Pierre Bayle, Samuel Johnson, Thomas Warton,
and Sir Walter Scott. The marginal writers include Jacques Gohory,
Mary Astell, Hester Thrale, Herman Melville, the young daughters of
the Broome family in Gloucestershire, and the patrons of the
library of the Huon Mechanics' Institute, Tasmania. Though
marginalia is often proscribed and frequently hidden or overlooked,
the collection reveals the enduring power of marginalia, concluding
with studies of the ethics of annotation and the resurrected life
of marginalia in digital environments.

This set reprints many of the 18th century's most notorious works,
including eight from "The Fifteen Plagues of a Maiden-Head" (1707),
that resulted in highly publicized court battles and in some cases
helped shape laws on censorship that survived into modernity.

Although scholars of the British 18th century have become
increasingly attuned to questions of sexuality, corporeality, and
legalism, they have not heretofore had easy access to one of the
period's richest funds of data: the erotica and pornography that
permeated the culture. This set reprints many of the period's most
notorious works, including eight from The Fifteen Plagues of a
Maiden-Head (1707) to Harris's List of Covent-Garden Ladies
(1786(?)-93) that resulted in highly publicized court battles and
in some instances helped shape laws on censorship that survived
into modernity. As they did in the 18th-century bookshop,
homosexual and heterosexual works intermingle, alongside of works
that claim legal, medical, or political legitimacy, and works that
pretend to nothing but prurience. Virtually all the works have been
out of print since the 18th century. Each volume includes an
introduction, individual headnotes, facsimiles of the texts, and
annotations, and the first volume includes a general introduction.

This book is a cultural history of the nineteenth-century songster:
pocket-sized anthologies of song texts, usually without musical
notation. It examines the musical, social, commercial and aesthetic
functions songsters served and the processes by which they were
produced and disseminated, the repertory they included, and the
singers, printers and entrepreneurs that both inspired their
manufacture and facilitated their consumption. Taking an
international perspective, chapters focus on songsters from
Ireland, North America, Australia and Britain and the varied public
and private contexts in which they were used and exploited in oral
and print cultures.
