A collection of 233 titles published in Great Britain during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
Guide: ACCESS: A cumulative index, Accessing English Literary Periodicals, AThis title is somewhat misleading as the periodicals published not only English literary works, but national and international news, scientific news, religion, fashion, music, politics, history, and "amusements," and thus provide a wealth of information about British life and culture. The dates covered are particular to each title, with the years 1681 to about 1890 fairly well represented; a few journals go beyond 1890. Many of the most important writers of the period - Defoe, Addison, Steele, Goldsmith, Johnson, Mill, Hunt, Lamb, Tennyson, and George Eliot - can be found as contributors or editors.
Guide to the Microfilm Collection, provides access by title, subject,
editor, and reel number.

Pre-18th Century
English Literary Periodicals includes nearly all pre-1700
periodical publications, beginning with the earliest British periodical
published--Heraclitus Ridens (1681-82), a comic weekly of ribaldry, mock
ads, and burlesque news.
18th Century
The magazines and miscellanies of this century provide much
cultural information in the form of moral commentary, Parliamentary debates,
literary criticism, advice to lovers, learned essays, news summaries, poetry,
obituaries, and lists of recently published books. It is during this
century that Addison and Steele's famous periodicals were published: the Tatler
(1709-11), the Spectator (1711-14), and the Guardian (1713),
noted for its essays, especially those commenting on contemporary morals
and manners.
19th Century
After 1800, the publication of periodicals grew greatly,
and the English Literary Periodicals, out of necessity, narrows its focus
and provides predominantly literary selections to represent the 19th century.
Some journals are devoted strictly to poetry, such as the Poetical Register
(1801-11), and to theater, such as Theatrical Journal (1839-71).
This century includes:
Monthly Repository (1806-38), which championed Robert BrowningSocial and political status of women in Britain: radical and reforming periodicals for and by women
Cambridge University Magazine (1839-43), a promoter of the Romantic poets
Englishman's Magazine (1831), which printed Hallam's important essay on Tennyson
Ainsworth's Magazine (1842-54) and Macmillan's Magazine (1859-1907), both of which were popular
periodicals of serialized fiction and published such authors as Mrs. Humphrey Ward, Richard
Monckton Milnes, and Bret Harte
