Corvey Women Writers on the Web is a database containing material on 417 women writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and 1,071 literary works published by them, based on the holdings of the Corvey Library. It includes biographies, bibliographies, contemporary reviews and memoirs, images, synopses and keyword descriptions of texts, as well as new criticism and contextual material. CW3 has been created by the Sheffield Hallam Corvey Project with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Board of Great Britain.

CW3 is also an on-line scholarly journal, with an editorial board of leading specialists. We welcome contributions from scholars and graduate students on any woman writer or female-authored text in the collection. All contributions will be subject to peer review and those accepted will be fully credited. For further details see guidelines for contributors. New contents are announced quarterly.

Please address enquiries to the editor Dr Philip Cox at p.t.cox@shu.ac.uk. Information about using the Corvey Microfiche Edition at Sheffield Hallam University can be obtained from the same person.
