Created with generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Electronic Enlightenment is a pioneering digital resource for the study of the letter and its place in the rich writing cultures of the ‘long’ eighteenth century. Working from best critical editions, and in collaboration with a large network of university presses, editors, scholars, and students we continue to grow by adding more archive/print editions and commissioning born-digital correspondences.
