C19: The Nineteenth Century Index (Nineteenth Century Masterfile) Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Other Good Free Web Resources: Studies in Scarlet: Marriage and Sexuality in the U.S. & U.K., 1815-1914: Drawn from the Harvard Law School Library's extensive trial collections, Studies in Scarlet presents images of the texts of more than 450 separately published trial narratives printed in the United States or the United Kingdom from 1815 until 1914. Especially valuable as sources for women's studies, the cases involve not only trials for divorce, domestic violence, adultery, bigamy, breach of promise to marry, and the custody of children but also those for murder and rape. Featured are trials concerning the wealthy and the renowned, such as Caroline, Queen Consort of George IV, and Oscar Wilde. The larger part of the collection, however, consists of the stories of ordinary men and women thrust into the public eye when their marriages and love affairs went wrong, or their relationships did not conform to social standards.
