On campus access is available at the University Library for members of the library. Title: Miscellany in verse and prose (Reference: MS Additional 8460, Cambridge University Library) Lyttelton, Elizabeth 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. Thanks to the endeavours of the Perdita Project the valuable work of these "lost" women is being rediscovered. The manuscripts in this site were written or compiled by women in the British Isles during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and they have been sourced from archives and libraries across the United Kingdom and the USA. One of the key attractions of Perdita Manuscripts is that it brings together little known material from widely scattered locations. The provision of a powerful searching facility, biographical and bibliographical resources, and contextual essays by academics working in the field, makes this an indispensable resource for students and researchers. The manuscripts are remarkably varied in their content, making this a rich resource for historians and literary scholars alike: Account books Advice Almanac Autobiography Biblical writing Biography Calligraphic writing Culinary writing Diary Drama Historical writing Medical writing Meditation Miscellany Notebook Prayer Prose Psalms Receipt book Religious writing Sermon notes Speech Translation Travel writing Treatise Verse Text from the Adam Matthew platform.
