Primary Texts ; q61 Secondary Texts ; q62 General Bibliographies ; blz6 Special Subject Virtual Libraries ; is Medieval Literature and Culture focuses solely on the study of Old and Middle English literature. The website mainly reflects the contents of Prof. Kelly's university course in medieval English literature. The site provides reading lists on various topics such as: the 'idea of history', travel literature, the medieval perception of the body and religious writings. The site also provides links to further resources on the web such as primary texts (and modern English translations) of medieval romances, lyrics and prose. All in all this is a well sturctured site and its strenght is clearly the number of links to primary texts. Although it needs to be said that the medieval layout of the website may cause some problems with reading.

(Current) Research Projects ; fp 'The Perdita Project is a collaborative project funded until 2005 by the AHRB in conjunction with Nottingham Trent University and Warwick University. The Project has produced an online guide to over 500 manuscript compilations in collections around the world. The Perdita Project, established in January 1997 by Nottingham Trent University, has purchased a microfilm collection of about 400 manuscripts compiled by women in the British Isles. These manuscripts were compiled during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and consist of poetry, religious writing, autobiographical material, cookery and medical recipes, and accounts. We have completed a catalogue, published on the Internet, which offers bibliographical information and detailed descriptions of contents for the information of historians and literary scholars. The catalogue also includes the team's research on the manuscripts and their compilers.'
