Description
Previously available in print and CD-ROM and now web-delivered exclusively from ABC-CLIO, this unparalleled bibliographic database provides students and researchers with detailed information on all print materials published in the United States and the British Empire from 1801 to 1919.
It was an age of groundbreaking literature (Dickens, Twain, James), philosophy (Thoreau, Mill, Emerson), and science (Darwin, Nature, Scientific American), when the printed page was the primary means of communicating new ideas about politics, medicine, economics, the law, and society. Now, a great leap forward in research technology makes it easier than ever to take a giant step backward into that era.
Nineteenth Century Short Title Catalogue (NSTC) is an exhaustive bibliography of over 1.2 million records, offering unlimited access to the age of groundbreaking literature (Dickens, Twain, James), philosophy (Thoreau, Mill, Emerson), and science (Darwin, Nature, Scientific American), when the printed page was the primary means of communicating new ideas about politics, medicine, economics, the law, and society.
NSTC covers all materials published in the collections of the Bodleian Library (Oxford), the British Library (London), the Cambridge University Library, Trinity College (Dublin), the National Library of Scotland, and the Newcastle University Library, plus holdings from 1816 to 1919 of the Harvard University Library and the Library of Congress.
