General American Literature sources

 

Pages for Individual Authors:

Nathaniel Hawthorne

a good page of links on the Scarlet Letter, including an on-line version of the novel

 


Herman Melville


Frederick Douglass

There are a number of Douglass sites out there, but none of much use for this class. Most focus on his autobiographical narratives and/or give simple biographical info. If anyone finds a good link for us, let me know. Some potential good ones are listed in Yahoo but do not appear to be working.


a review of a recent biography of Lydia Maria Child

 

a Web page dedicated to 19th-century American Women Writers

 


Henry James

the Henry James scholar's Guide to Web sites

----includes a searchable on-line Portrait of a Lady

(be sure to have lots of free memory available on your computer, though!)

and all sorts of other "great links."

[For some reason, James liked to put certain low verrnacularisms in quotation marks.]


Willa Cather

a fine Cather page

[scroll down & don't miss the high school photo of "Willie" Cather in her crew-cut and also (on another page) the link to her high school graduation speech!]

The Professor's House is available on-line.


Ernest Hemingway

a page called (what else?) the Papa Page

pretty lightweight stuff, but fun to browse


Charles Johnson


info from the Seattle Times on Charles Johnson and his new book project, a work on Martin Luther King, Jr.
