Foundational prediction for the TEI. You need to search for the OUCS annual reports on the Wayback machine these days, alas.

(First official reference to the TEI in OUCS history)

"Two members of staff are participating in a major international initiative on standards for encoding of texts for scholarly purposes. This project has received funding from sources in the United States until August 1990, but is very likely to continue beyond that date."

--a bent servant, a villainous seducer, an unprotected maiden, and an implausibly penitent reformed Irish rake. Also included a conflagration and an honest English mercer. Check out lb42.github.io/Lacy/L1143.h... : you know you want to

This week's additions to Digital Lacy include an 1846 version of a French adaptation of Richardson's unreadable English novel "Clarissa Harlowe".

Not sure if angus wilsons 1970 volume called the dickens world counts as scholarly, but it does have facing p 173 a reproduction of john parrys 1835 painting a london street scene. Which matches yr desceiption.

Yes, tho i am usually satisfied if wikipedia gives the same explanation (which is presumably where gemini found it anyways)

As i truck through yet another 19th c farce full of obscure contemporary references i am delighted to find that gemini pro seems to provide plausible explanations for 75% of them.

This is great! I am looking for an english equivalent. the vogue for one act plays as part of a full evening at the theatre happened in england too

But after the depressing loss of Rayner last week, it is very pleasing to see the eminently sensible loss of Mandelson this week.
