Early Stuart Libels
URL: http://www.earlystuartlibels.net/

Description:
This site provides "early seventeenth-century political poetry from manuscript sources. ... Though most of the texts are poems of satire and invective, others take the form of anti-libels. ... These poems throw new light on literary and political culture in England in the decades from the accession of King James I to the outbreak of the English Civil War. The edition is divided into chronological and thematic sections." From two history professors.
