The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers.The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers.European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes:* Novels and Gothic Novels* Short Stories* Belles-Lettres* Short Prose Forms* Dramatic Works* Poetry* Anthologies* And moreSelected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.Additional MetadataPrimary Id: B0185702PSM Id: NCCOF0063-C00000-B0185702DVI Collection Id: NCCOC0062Bibliographic Id: NCCO002841Reel: 699MCODE: 4UVCOriginal Publisher: Henry ColburnOriginal Publication Year: 1828Original Publication Place: LondonOriginal Imprint Manufacturer: Printed by S. and R.

" I hope not!" cried Sir Ambrose; " I hope it's no treason, duke--but I must confess I wish your daughter had never been Queen, if she can't leave things as they are." " I am pretty much of your opinion: they are such wildgoose schemes that she takes into her head!" said the duke piteously. " Only imagine, Sir Ambrose, she showed me this morning a plan for making aerial bridges to convey heavy weights from one steeple to another; a machine for stamping shoes and boots at one blow out of a solid piece of leather; a steam-engine for milking cows; and an elastic summer-house that might be folded up so as to be put into a man's pocket!" " It is really provoking; and Edmund is quite as scheming and visionary. I absolutely think, if we were both to die, they would not feel more than a temporary uneasiness at our loss, their minds are so completely occupied in these gigantic projects." " I fear so indeed; all things were otherwise formerly, I remember the time," &c. But why detail their reminiscences; it may be easily imagined how comfortably two old men would amuse themselves over a good fire, commenting on the glorious days when they were young; when all went right, or, what was nearly the same thing, when all appeared to them to do so; quite forgetting that age has other eyes than youth, and that the change was in themselves, not the times: we have other things to attend to.

It was a ball; and the splendid court of Claudia seemed yet more brilliant under the reign of her successor. It was the first time Clara had ever been at court, and the effect the gorgeous magnificence of the scene had upon her was powerful in the extreme. She... less
