New publication: Women Writers in Review

Dear all,

(With apologies for cross-posting.) We are delighted to announce that the Women Writers Project has just published Women Writers in Review (http://wwp.neu.edu/review/), a collection of more than 600 eighteenth- and nineteenth-century reviews, publication notices, literary histories, and other texts responding to works by early women writers, transcribed and encoded in TEI.

The Women Writers in Review interface offers sorting by the reviews' sources, by the authors and works that they reference, by their genres and formats, and by tracked tags such as the topics they discuss and their evaluations of reviewed texts. We have also published an API (http://wwp.neu.edu/review/api), so that researchers can query and access the Women Writers in Review data and resources in JSON or HTML.

We are now looking for faculty and graduate students who are interested in using Women Writers in Review in their classrooms to develop sample assignments using the collection. If you would like to learn more about this pilot program, please contact us!

To begin exploring the collection, please visit the main page (http://wwp.neu.edu/review/); for more on this publication of WWiR, please see our blog (http://wwp.neu.edu/blog/). We're very excited to be sharing this publication and we hope you enjoy the collection!

All my best,

Sarah
