'This resource is produced in association with the Perdita Project based at the University of Warwick and Nottingham Trent University. 'Perdita' means 'lost woman' and the quest of the Perdita Project has been to find early modern women authors who were 'lost' because their writing exists only in manuscript form. Adam Matthew Digital has now enhanced this path-breaking research by linking their catalogue descriptions with full digital facsimiles of many of the manuscripts.' -- introd.
