Orlando is an online cultural history generated from the lives and works of women writers. At present, it contains: 1,413 author entries (1,117 British women writers, 178 male writers, 177 other women writers—listed twice if their nationality
shifted); 13,794 free-standing and 28,807 embedded chronology entries; 29,479 bibliographical listings; 2,749,854 tags; and 9,038,958 words (exclusive of tags). More than 31,000 people and more than 8,700 organizations are mentioned or discussed somewhere
in the textbase.
Free access to Orlando (http://orlando.cambridge.org) from 8 March 2022 will be to Orlando 2.0. In this new release, the same material, still regularly enhanced and expanded, has a new look, new
interface, and new search methods.
We hope you enjoy the collections!
All our best,
