    • Introduction to modern literary theory
    •  
    • Modern critical thought 

    • This is the Web site of a critical theory course taught by Mary Klages at Colorado University. The course is very conventional, but useful for that reason. It begins with Saussure, takes in structuralism and Levi-Strauss, and then works through Derrida, psychoanalysis, French feminism, queer theory and Marxism. Of great interest to university teachers are the explications of classic theoretical texts that Klages makes available. There is a very useful discussion of Foucault and Bakhtin on the author function; an excellent summary and reading of Derrida's 'Structure, Sign and Play'; interesting thoughts on Cixous. Klages writes with great expertise and intelligence.

    • Prose Merlin 

    • This is the complete text of the 'Prose Merlin' in John Conlee's edition (Kalamazoo, 1998), presented as part of the TEAMS Middle English Texts website.

It is primarily the history of Merlin, including an account of the Rise of Arthur - such as the Saxon invasion and how peace and stability was returned to Britain. The manuscript is thought to date to the mid-fifteenth century, predating Thomas Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur'. This would make it the earliest Arthurian text written in English prose.

Burton's searchable website, 'Silva Rhetoricae: The Forest of Rhetoric', offers a detailed introduction to an extensive number of rhetorical tropes and schemes, and branches of rhetoric employed first in classical oratory, and subsequently taught in the Inns of Court, universities and grammar schools of Renaissance England.

There is also a useful site search facility which can also be used to search the Web, although searches do bring up some commercial websites.Burton provides a useful introduction to rhetoric for students of classical and Renaissance literature and culture and a very good quick reference source for postgraduates and academics.

    • The electronic labyrinth


    • The 'Electronic Labyrinth' looks at some of the opportunities presented to writers by the advent of the Internet and hypertext. It analyses the literary tradition of non-linear approaches to narrative, examines recent works that utilize hypertext, and evaluates the hardware and software available to writers. The site grew out of a project undertaken in 1993, so some of its contents may appear a little out-of-date by now. Despite its age, however, it is still valuable as a general introduction to hypertext and to humanities computing. The web site introduces the vocabulary and terminology of hypertext and discusses the implications that hypertext poses to the future of the traditional book. A section on the non-linear tradition looks at works from Lawrence Sterne's 'Tristram Shandy' to J. G. Ballard's 'The Atrocity Exhibition'. A further section on literary formats places hypertext in its evolutionary context.

    • Arras : new media poetry and poetics 


    • This online site which began as Brian Stefans' personal website has grown to focus only on how digital technology has affected the study and research in the field of experimental poetry, providing a good overall background for A-Level students, university students and perhaps even secondary school teachers. The online journal questions whether digital technology has been able to expand poetic techniques. Some of the techniques researched are interactivity, algorithmic processes and digital typefaces. Brian Stefans also wonders whether the internet will ever replace traditional print text, both critical and fictional. Although the links change regularly Stefans keeps a selection of hyperfictions, hyperpoems and criticism as well as links to his own web writing. The Arras journal began in 1996 as a print journal but since 1998 has resided soley on the web. One of the latest additions is a link to Robert Fitterman's anthology of poems which digitally 'sample' existing information in a high-tech collage. There is also a link to an electronic reprint of the eight issues of Jennifer Moxley's poetry magazine, The Impercipient. Although the journal ceased production in 1998, the archived articles are still pertinent to students of hypertext fictions and poetry with writing by Rod Smith, Lisa Jarnot, Bill Luoma, Lee-Ann Brown and many more.

    • Second-person fiction 


    • This Web site contains a doctoral thesis on second-person narrative. Dennis Schofield's text is entitled: 'The Second Person: A Point of View? The Function of the Second-Person Pronoun in Narrative Prose Fiction'. The work explores how analyses of specifically second-person storytelling might challenge the (Cartesian) assumptions of much narrative theory. Schofield wishes to use second-person narrative to tilt criticism that is obsessed with self towards a more 'sociocentric', intersubjective, approach. Methodologically, the thesis owes much to CS Pierce's semiotics and to various post-structuralist developments in this field. Scholfield is particularly interested in the fiction of Daniel Gunn and the poetics of John Keats.

    • TUTTO SHAKESPEARE
          • Shakespeare in quarto [British Library] This excellent web site provides access to one of the 'treasures' of the British Library, the collection of 93 copies of the 21 plays by William Shakespeare printed in quarto before the theatres were closed in 1642. In addition to the digital facsimiles of the quarto editions, the site features: a timeline of events; an extensive section of background information; secondary essays concerning the various quarto imprints by recognised scholars; a section on the 'afterlife' of Shakespeare's plays, from the Restoration to the present day; a glossary of bibliographical terms; and pages of references and links. Background information is provided concerning: Shakespeare's life; his poems and plays, Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre; contemporary publishing practices and print culture; the individual published plays, and those included in the First Folio that did not appear in single publications.The most important part of the site is that devoted to the texts themselves. A simple user interface enables users to compare two texts side by side on screen. Drop-down menus list the various plays published in quarto before 1642 and the different editions of each play. Where the British library holds more than one copy of an edition, the user may additionally select which copy to examine (listed by owner). The digital facsimile pages have been scanned at a good resolution and may be magnified for greater clarity. A 'printer-friendly' version of each page is also provided. The only possible omission is a search engine for locating particular textual variations.

Topics include literary, critical, textual, theoretical, and performative issues, along with announcements of conferences, seminars, lectures, symposia, job openings, calls for papers, and new publications (including online materials). 

          • Shakespeare and his critics
            contains essays on Shakespeare, his tragedy "Hamlet", and the unfortunate character of Ophelia. The letter on Ophelia from "On Some of Shakespeare's Female Characters" was written by Helena Faucit, a nineteenth-century actress from Covent Garden and Drury Lane. The essay not only reveals nineteenth-century ideas about the character of "Ophelia", but also an actress' dramatic interpretation of the character. There is an essay by Anna Jameson, a Victorian feminist who signed various petitions to further the progress of women's rights. She wrote briefly on the character of Ophelia, which is no surprise due to the popularity of the character with Victorian women, and the 'Ophelia Trend' that perpetuated the cult of invalidism and female weakness. As well as the essays, the author of the website has included a bibliography for Ophelia.

The most useful feature of the site is perhaps the fairly extensive database of electronic texts from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, including fiction, drama, verse. The site also features: articles related to the Oxfordian debate; chronologies of the lives of Oxford and Shakespeare; a links page; a page devoted to the writings of prominent Oxfordians and a page on Shakespeare and the law.
