A Corpus of Nineteenth Century English

It is a one-million word corpus of English texts written from 1800 to 1900. It is divided according to three periods (1800-1830, 1850-1870, 1870-1900) and is designed to enable comparisons with materials contained in the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts. The annotation used is also the same (cocoa-style brackets giving information on writer, date, etc.).
It is divided into seven genres : correspondence, scientific writing, history writing, fiction, trial proceedings, parliamentary debates, and drama comedy.

This resource is useful to study variation in nineteenth-century English or to compare it to English from other time periods.
