Luminarium
This extraordinary
site contains information on medieval, renaissance, and 17th century
authors. For each author, the site lists information about his life and
works. Also contains e-texts, links to other sources, including essays
and articles about the
author and his works. I absolutely love this site, and it is almost the
only concentrated source of information for authors such as Chaucer.
Warning: uses Java and automatically plays music upon loading. Can be
turned off, though.
Victorian Web
The site was created by George P. Landow, a
professor of English and Art History at Brown University. He wrote most
of the articles, or chapters, in order to help teach a Victorian
literature class. It contains comprehensive information about the cultur
al, social, political, and historical background which surrounds the
writing of the period, as well as a lot of information about individual
authors. This is a highly recommended site.
Voice of the Shuttle
This is a brilliantly comprehensive site for web resources on all of the
humanities, including English Lit. Check it out.
