Edited by Ann R. Hawkins

The Byron Chronology is a searchable hypertext chronology of important dates in the life of George Gordon, Lord Byron.

An annotated hypertext timeline of important dates in the life and work of Percy Bysshe Shelley, this chronology is designed to function both as a stand-alone resource and in conjunction with The Romantic Chronology at UC Santa Barbara.

Shelley's Notebooks in the Bodleian Library

Intended as an aid to scholars who wish to locate specific materials in Shelley's notebooks at the Bodleian Library, Oxford University, this resource allows the user to (1) view a page by page summary of the contents of all the notebooks; (2) consult an alphabetical index; or (3) conduct Boolean searches of the contents summary.


Miscellaneous

Fictional Representations of Romantics Fictional Representations of Romantics

A hypertextual list of novels, short stories, plays, films, and other fictional representations of historical Romantic figures, this resource began with a query to NASSR-L about the Romantics in science fiction; it includes a hyperlinked and annotated bibliography.


Reading Hemans

Reading Hemans, Aesthetics, and the Canon: An Online Discussion

This resource is based on a hypertextual discussion thread, originally taken from the NASSR-L list (16-19 July 1997), on teaching and studying the poet Felicia Hemans, which quickly expanded to cover the related topics of canon-formation, poetics, aesthetics, pedagogy, and feminism. This thread is the collaborative product of twenty-two respondents-among them some of the most respected critics and teachers in the field.
