Corvey soon became famous, and its abbots ranked as princes of the empire.
In its school were cultivated all the arts and sciences, and it produced many celebrated scholars.

Corvey said, "We should have curtailed that morning, but because the decision has to be made by around 4 a.m., we were making our decision based on what was going on in the night and what was then predicted for the next morning.
Corvey continued, "In fact, the storm did not behave as predicted and the campus was not at all ready for faculty, staff and students.

The Imperial Abbey of Corvey (German: Fürstabtei Corvey) was a Benedictine Abbey on the River Weser, 2km northwest of Höxter, now in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Under the guidance of abbots drawn from the Imperial family, Corvey soon became famous for its school, which produced many celebrated scholars, among them the 10th century Saxon historian Widukind of Corvey.
One striking feature of the collection is the large number of English Romantic novels, some in unique copies, for in Britain fiction was more often borrowed than bought, and was read to pieces in the lending libraries.

The Corvey Project at Sheffield Hallam University was founded in 1995, with a grant from the British Academy, as a group project investigating women's writing of the romantic era.
There is no remaining evidence of the buying policy, but the collection at Schloss Corvey, with its astonishingly indiscriminate accumulation of popular fiction, provides fascinating evidence of forms of literary reception and bibliomania in a state of transition, poised between the enlightenment ideal of a universal library and the emergent mass book market.
The fact that the Corvey Project is based on a specific body of texts is one of its chief interests in my view.

However, there is much to be optimistic about, including the university’s stellar efforts in attracting federal research money, its past success and aspirations for private fundraising, and a major initiative to reduce the university’s reliance on expensive energy sources.
Corvey recently provided an overview of the university’s financial health, explaining how the university generates revenue and what areas are her greatest concerns for the future.
And although utilities account for only 2.6 percent, or $11 million, of total expenditures for FY 05, Corvey said the area is scaring her, given the skyrocketing cost of heating oil and natural gas.

 Corvey - Sinopien und Stuck - Buchbeschreibung Rhema Kunstgeschichte
In 1992 the sensational discovery of wall sketches (sinopia) for six life size figures was made in the Westwerk of the former monastery church of Corvey.
The technical data leaves no doubt that the sketches and the figures – which except for a few fragments are lost – are from the Carolingian period, more precisely from the time of Abbot Bovo (879–890), during whose period the Westwerk was consecrated in 885.
Besides the fragmentary reliefs above the entrances to the crypt in the cathedral in Hildesheim, the findings in Corvey are futher evidence of the use of stucco sculptures in Carolingian churches in northern Germany.

 JULIE SHAFFER
It is in fact true that most of the novels from Corvey I've read involve young women of marriageable age who either end up married at their stories' end or dead if marriage turns out to be impossible for them.
I would hesitate to argue that these novels have slipped out of publication and hence from our attention because of plotting by male publishers who recognized that these novels attack patriarchy both overtly and covertly, the latter by providing female characters who survive despite their departure from behaviors most likely to uphold patriarchal society.
When further research in the Corvey and other collections occurs, it can become the work of as many of us as possible to question our assumptions about and our constructions of women's role in the literature and culture of the time, and, therefore, what that culture was actually like.

In 1999 the University of Nebraska Libraries acquired the extensive microfiche archive known as the "Edition Corvey." This remarkable archive of Romantic-era literary texts in English, French, and German comprises nearly 9,000 volumes, many of which are exceedingly scarce.
As part of an international effort to make materials from and relating to the Corvey Collection available to scholars worldwide, the University of Nebraska is cooperating with electronic-based projects based at Sheffield Hallam University and the Cardiff University, in the United Kingdom, to develop and disseminate materials for research and study of these primary texts.
For most of the volumes of poetry, the entry on the website consists of a descriptive and critical essay about the volume and its contents, a set of transcriptions of contemporary reviews of that volume, bibliographical information about the volume and its author, and a brief biographical sketch of the author.
