Perdita手稿（Perdita Manuscripts, 1500-1700）与Warwick大学、诺丁汉Trent大学的Perdita项目联合制作。该项目的目的是区分与描述早期现代妇女的所有写作方式，为研究早期现代不列颠妇女与妇女作品的学者提供了不可缺少的资源。而其中最引人注目的资源之一，是来源广泛的大量不很知名的资料。同时还收录了来自英国与北美洲18家图书馆与档案馆的约270部原始手稿。内容包括诗歌作品，宗教文学，自传，烹调法与医疗食谱，帐户等。同时提供这一领域相关学术著作中的引导论文，以及自传与书目资源等。

This resource is produced in association with the Perdita Project based at the University of Warwick and Nottingham Trent University. Their goal was to identify and describe all manner of writing by early modern women from diaries to works of drama.

We have now enhanced their ground-breaking work by linking the new detailed catalogue descriptions with complete digital facsimiles of the original manuscripts. The result is a resource which is indispensable for anyone interested in women and women's writing in Early Modern Britain.

One of the key attractions of the resource is that it brings together little-known material from widely scattered locations. This resource includes over two hundred and thirty manuscripts from fifteen libraries and archives in the UK and North America.

The manuscripts are remarkably varied in their content including works of poetry, religious writing, autobiographical material, cookery and medical recipes, and accounts. Historians and literary scholars alike will find this an invaluable resource. There are contextual essays from academics working in the field, as well as biographical and bibliographical resources.
