Digital Victorian Periodical Poetry Project
"About the Digital Victorian Periodical Poetry Project:
The Victorian era was flooded with poetry. The exploding market for serial print, where most Victorians read poems, meant that periodicals (including annuals, magazines, and newspapers) were the main poetry publishers. And the periodical poetry was extensive and varied. The goal of the Digital Victorian Periodical Poetry Project (DVPP), generously funded by two SSHRC Insight Grants (2017-2023, 2023-2028), is to uncover, collate, and analyze a large body of periodical poetry, based on a generous and varied range of Victorian periodical print in the University of Victoria’s Special Collections.
Our guiding questions are to ask: What was the most read Victorian poetry? How do the literary, formal, and material features of periodical poetry challenge scholarly taxonomies of genre, prosody, and print culture? How does Victorian periodical poetry offer a more historically nuanced literary history? DVPP allows users to conduct quantitative analysis of literary texts in order to challenge traditional literary histories, by giving ways of searching evidence of literary change over time (e.g. rhyme innovations, types of authorship, genre trends, developments in illustration, changes to publication practices).
DVPP offers three inter-related projects: a digital index of all periodical poems and poetry translations in English across full runs of 28 periodicals, magazines, and newspapers; a digital edition of representative periodical poetry, encoded for poetic and material features; a personography based on poets, translators, and illustrators."

Bertha G. Davidson Bertha was an artist from Boston who illustrated many children's books and also designed some covers for the same.
Until she married Edward E. Hoxie, she was credited (and signed her work as) Bertha G. Davidson, and sometimes used a "D" monogram, or a "BGD" monogram.. After her marriage, she was credited either as "Bertha G. Davidson", "Bertha Davidson Hoxie", or just "Bertha Hoxie". Her monogram also seems to have changed to an "H" or "BDH" at that point.

Elisabeth B. Warren An American children's book illustrator who also did a few covers for the books she illustrated. In 1918 she received training to serve as an Occupational Therapy Aid during WWI, but when the war ended, in 1919 she requested a discharge due to poor health. She established (with another graduate of the Boston School of Occupational Therapy) the Occupational therapy department in the V.B. Hospital in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, which the army took over a few weeks later.
She returned to illustrating books, and traveled to England to study etching. She met her husband, the artist Tod Lindenmuth, there and they married in 1925. She had two children by 1929.

Her family immigrated to the United States in 1924.
