The Wellesley Index identifies the authors of articles within major Victorian periodicals and provides a bibliography for each contributor. (The vast majority of articles written for Victorian periodicals were published anonymously, or under pseudonyms.) 45 important monthly and quarterly titles are included, covering the period from the beginning of the Westminster Review in 1824 to the end of the century. The exception to this is the Edinburgh Review, which is indexed from first issue, in 1802. Wellesley does not index poetry. (Not updated)
