"The focus of this collection is to provide direct access to facsimile images of verses as catalogued in the University of Leeds Brotherton Library’s BCMSV database. These verses are provided in their full context and thus this collection also allows access to the complete manuscripts and their searchable catalogue data, including the available lt and ltq literary manuscripts in the Brotherton Collection that are not indexed in the BCMSV database. The manuscripts range from contemporary copies of poems by writers like Colvil, Dryden, Fairfax and Pope to popular tags and epitaphs. Many of the manuscripts are miscellanies and commonplace books which have never previously been indexed. Full listings of the manuscripts, manuscript types, authors, first lines, verse titles and colour images available can be found on the documents list."
