Fürstliche Bibliothek Corvey
The Fürstliche Bibliothek Corvey (English: Corvey Library) is a princely library in the Princely Abbey of Corvey, a former Benedictine abbey, near Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It consists of around 74,000 volumes and is one of the largest and most valuable private libraries in Germany. The library houses one of the world's largest collections of Romantic literature (and especially strong in the period after 1815) and the largest collection in the world of "popular fiction in English between 1798 and 1834".Stephen C. Behrendt, the George Holmes Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, has praised the Corvey's "vast archive" of "uncommon, scarce, and even unique materials" which will assist scholars researching "British Romantic and early Victorian literary culture".
