British Periodicals Online

UCL now has access to British Periodicals Online.  This resource traces the development and growth of the periodical press in Britain from its origins in the seventeenth century through to the Victorian “age of periodicals” and beyond. 

Among the contributors, editors and founders of these periodicals are a host of important figures: Walter Bagehot, Aubrey Beardsley, Annie Besant, William Cobbett, Daniel Defoe, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Henry Fielding, Oliver Goldsmith, Jerome K. Jerome, Samuel Johnson, Tobias Smollett and many more.

All the titles in British Periodicals appear individually in UCL’s ejournals list.
