About These Pages

This set of pages, named among the Top 5% of the Internet by Point and awarded Four Stars by Magellan, is a collection of links to sites on the Internet dealing especially with English and American literature, excluding single electronic texts, and is limited to collections of information useful to academics -- I've excluded most poetry journals, for instance.

I'm considering a page of highlights -- a spotlight on the pages I think best show off what the Web can do, with a new site chosen every week or so. Let me know what you think.
