General Resources
 
 Literature Resources on the Net

A University of Pennsylvania doctoral candidate maintains this index of links to Web sites "dealing especially with English and American literature." Search by genre, including Classical, Victorian, Renaissance and 20th century selections. Information about related mailing lists and scholarly publications is included.

 

According to the Internet Public Library: "Good literary criticism can be one of the hardest kinds of information to find on the Internet . . . it can often be difficult to find authoritative and critical works." Nevertheless, the IPL can help:

Browse the List of Texts

The texts listed below are many of the texts taught in American High Schools; however, the list is by no means exhaustive. In fact, textbooks and/or anthologies are NOT listed, as these type of publications are not, generally, discussed on the web.

What is listed below are the notable "longer" works of fiction, non-fiction, and drama, works that generally "stand alone."

The links found in this section are of two basic kinds: 1) the link ON the text's title; 2) the link to an e-text copy of the text. The first type of link represents only ONE of, often, several possibilities for web resources about the given book. This link ON the book was chosen because it provides a web resource that corresponds most closely to the issues around the given text.. The second type of link (found in parenthesis after each title) is to an on-line version or e-text.
