http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/rbae/cgi/ccc.py

The Project on the Reception of British and Irish Authors in Europe has created an online searchable database of all the volume bibliographies published so far in the Series:

The Reception of Virginia Woolf in Europe 2002 The Reception of Laurence Sterne in Europe 2004 The Reception of James Joyce in Europe 2004 The Reception of Walter Pater in Europe 2004 The Reception of Ossian in Europe 2004 The Reception of Byron in Europe 2005

The Reception of H. G. Wells in Europe 2005 The Reception of Jonathan Swift in Europe 2005 The Reception of David Hume in Europe 2005 The Reception of W. B. Yeats in Europe 2006 The Reception of Henry James in Europe 2006 The Reception of D. H. Lawrence in Europe 2007

The Reception of Sir Walter Scott in Europe 2007 The Reception of Jane Austen in Europe 2007 The Reception of S. T. Coleridge in Europe 2007 The Reception of Charles Darwin in Europe 2008 The Reception of P. B. Shelley in Europe 2008 The Reception of Oscar Wilde in Europe 2010

The records encompass material published in Albanian, Armenian, Basque, Bulgarian, Castilian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch (in Belgium and The Netherlands), English, Estonian, Finnish, French (in Belgium, France and Switzerland), Galician, Georgian, German (in Germany, Austria and Switzerland), Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

The database has been designed by Dr John Bovey (University of Kent, Canterbury) and initiated on the invaluable advice of Prof. Bernhard Fabian (University of Münster). We hope that it will be a useful tool for any researcher with an interest in the Project’s work and its connection with comparative literature, reception studies, translation studies, film and theatre studies, the history of the book, the history of reading, the history of philosophy and science, and intellectual and literary history.

The database currently contains online records for all the bibliographies in the published volumes. New volumes will have their bibliographies added as soon as they are available. The records in the catalogue can be edited as well as searched, and we hope that all users, but in the first instance contributors to the Series volumes, will help to gradually improve this resource by editing and extending the bibliographic research material.

The database can be accessed via the Internet through the link provided at the top of this page. You will need to register before you can use it but this is a simple online procedure. You will then be sent an e-mail confirming your user name and password. Useful tips for initiating searches and other practicalities are available by clicking on ‘Help’ on the top right-hand-side of the database interface.

Anyone interested in receiving more information or participating with the Project on its Database should contact Dr Elinor Shaffer.
