Early English Book Subscribers Dataset

This dataset is the foundation of a digital project called "Early English Book Subscribers," which introduces the men and women who subscribed to books published in England between 1617 and 1698. The dataset contains demographic information based on twelve surviving subscriber lists, with 4,104 entries. Along with the original transcribed list entries, viewers can learn the class status, presumed gender, formal education level, industry, profession, and geographic location, when known, of individual subscribers. The genre, target language, and cost of subscribing to each of the twelve books is also included.
