Exmoor Scolding and Courtship: A Translation into Plain English

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration, and rapidly growing technology, with expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. Gale, in its determination to preserve the century of revolution, initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. For the first time, these high-quality digital copies of original 18th-century manuscripts are now available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.

Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by luminaries such as Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, among others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.
