Carroll, Lewis (Charles Dodgson) (1832-1898)

• Lewis Carroll home page
  Although this page does not carry much original content (in the sense of biographies, essays, text and so forth), it is a very good jumping-off point for Carroll on the web and off of it. The author has done a very good job of selecting and, more importa ntly, annotating his links. The site contains links to biographies, on-line texts, and other Carroll interests such as his photography and puzzles.
• Also, check out the Lewis Carroll section of the Victorian Web. (See under General Sites for more information about the Victorian Web).

Cather, Willa (1873-1947)

• Harvard's Willa Cather page
  This page doesn't have too much original content, but it does have some good links and information about where to find primary documents, criticism, and biography. Beware - some links appear to lead somewhere relevant, but actually just lead to enormous general sites (such as the Pulitzer site or the University of Nebraska's home page). The best stuff is to be found in the links from the table of contents.

Chaucer, Geoffrey (1340-1400)

• The WSU Chaucer page
  This page has a few links to things such as bibliographies and some notes on the history of the fourteenth century. It also has class essays.
• For a very good starting place, check out the Luminarium entry on Chaucer. (See under General Sites for more information about Luminarium).

• The American Chester Society home page
  This is a small page, but it has some good stuff, such as links, events, a biography (click on the picture below the mission statement), and a quote page organized by subject.
• G.K. Chesterton's Mega-Links Page
  This site is a great jumping off point for Chesterton research. It contains links to on-line works, criticism, and a number of good quotes. Overall, this is a great place to start.
• Also try M. Ward's G.K.C. page. It is overseas, so it may take a little longer to load. It has a good biography and some good links.

Coleridge, Samuel Taylor (1772-1834)

• S.T. Coleridge
  This page has lots of e-texts, a timeline, an extremely brief bibliography, and some other interesting stuff - like a dictionary which translates his language into modern American. It also has some good links.

Collins, Wilkie (1824-1889)
There doesn't appear to be much actual criticism out there on the web, but then again, Collins isn't the most well-known of the Victorian writers.

• Paul Lewis's Wilkie Collins site
  This site is mostly links, but also contains online texts, a list of biographies, a bibliography, his will, and pictures of his homes. It has interesting information about his relationship with Dickens. This is an overseas site, so be patient while it l oads, especially at high-traffic times.
• Wilkie Collins Appreciation Page
  This has a good basic biography, and good information about printed biographies. You can buy books off of this site. It has a nice annotated list of books about Collins. There are links to on-line texts.

Conrad, Joseph (1857-1924)
Unfortunately, I could find nothing but texts and a site in Polish. There is a searchable text of Heart of Darkness at Georgetown. This site also has connections to information about Apocalypse Now.

Crane, Stephen (1871-1900)

• UT at Austin's site - Stephen Crane: Man, Myth, and Legend
  This site contains a brief biography and brief lists of common themes and literary styles in his work. There are also several links to other sites, including critical papers and the Air Force's celebratory site of the 100th anniversary of The Red Badge o f Courage.

Dickens, Charles (1812-1870)

• The Dickens Page
  This is a beautiful site. It contains links to academic research sites, electronic texts, dickens societies, mailing lists, home pages, and other resources. It's in Japan, so it may take a few minutes to upload.
• Also, check out the Victorian Web entry. (See under General Sites for more information about the Victorian Web).

Dickinson, Emily (1830-1886)

• Emily Dickinson
  This is a comprehensive site. It contains links to her works, biographical information, links to pictures, and an annotated list of other resources. The nicest thing about this site is the amount of annotation; there's no guessing about where the links lead to.
• The Emily Dickinson International Society
  This site's most valuable asset is the searchable online journals. There is biographical information, too. The links to other sites are very well-organized by category.

Donne, John (1572-1631)

• The Luminarium entry (See under General Sites for more information about Luminarium).
