General humanities resources online

• The HUMBUL Gateway is a great resource for people in the humanities. It has a searchable database of lots of high-quality links to scholarly resources.
• The English Server is the humanities geek's dream. There are primary sources in just about every area of the liberal arts, plus collections of links to related sites for each area, and they even threw in a recipe archive.
• Voice of the Shuttle's English literature pages have a tremendous amount of information grouped by time period.
• One more page to find humanities information is Infomine: Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Resources. This site has a special focus on reference tools such as dictionaries and style guides.
• CHORUS: Exploring New Media in the Arts and Humanities is a site dedicated to exploring the relationship between technology and the liberal arts.
• Humanities Canada has a lot of information and links, useful even if you're not in Canada.
• The Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities maintains a Web site with a number of links and online resources, and also offers a graduate fellowship to a student at the University of Virginia who does outstanding research on technology in the humanities.
• One more place to look for information about the arts' meeting with technology is the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts at the University of California at San Diego.
• The Human Languages Page contains links to a number of searchable dictionaries, as well as to a whole bunch of information in and about different languages.
• Jack Lynch, at Rutgers University, maintains a page of On-Line Literary Research Tools.
• There's a listing of literary mailing lists at the U. Penn gopher site.

Texts online

• If you want to see what books are available online, and find out how the Gutenberg project is doing, try the Online Books Page. This page also contains the text for a number of banned books, plus descriptions of when, where, and why they were censored.
• A Lewis Carroll fan out there has put up slightly hypertexted versions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
• The Internet Public Library has a large number of books online, and also features a collection of more than 1600 links to literary criticism sites.
• The Internet Book Information Center contains a virtual review of books.
• The Alex Catalogue of Electronic Texts on the Internet is another great place to look for online books, plays, and poetry.
• Carrie: A Full-Text Electronic Library is exactly what it says it is. Poke through it as you would a regular library, and see what's around.
• The Bodleian Library at Oxford University has a Web server.

Medieval and Renaissance links

• You can find the complete works at the Shakespeare Home Page.
• The University of Münster is the site for the Shakespeare database project that is available on CD-ROM.
• The Shakespeare Web is aiming to be an interactive site for scholars and fans.
• The Elizabethan Theatre is a lecture by Hilda D. Spear of the University of Dundee, given at Cologne University in Germany in 1989.
• Shakespeare and the Globe, at the University of Reading, contains lots of information about Shakespeare's stage and the reconstructed Globe Theatre in London. (Interesting tidbit: archaeologists discovered the original site of the Globe because the area they dug in had a thick layer of nut shells. "Groundlings" (people who watched the three- or four-hour plays from the dirt floor of the theatre) munched on nuts the way many of us munch on popcorn at the movies today.)
• Mr. William Shakespeare and the Internet is also excellent.
• Georgetown University has put together a Medieval Studies page. It's even better if you can read Middle English.
• The Medieval Woman Home Page is a project at McMaster University, in Hamilton, Ontario.
• Voice of the Shuttle's English Renaissance and seventeenth-century page is a thorough, extensive collection of links and resources.

Journals

• The Chronicle of Higher Education publishes an online edition.
• A journal about literature in the Renaissance (my cup of tea) is Early Modern Literary Studies.
• The University of Florida offers Exemplaria: A Journal of Theory in Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
• The Modern Humanities Research Association publishes the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature.
