The Undergraduate's Companion to American Writers and Their Web Sites.

This guide presents a selection of the most authoritative, informative and useful Web sites for today's college and university American literature students and scholars. Nearly 300 American authors whose works are features in the most recent editions of widely used literature anthologies are included in this volume. A chronological arrangement parallels that of popular anthologies and most course approaches. For each author, concise lists of the best Web sites are provided, as well as traditional printed resources, including biographies and criticisms, dictionaries and handbooks, indexes and concordances, journals, and bibliographies. This guide only covers frequently anthologized authors who are the subjects of "good" Web sites; students who want to identify Web sites and references for American authors not found in this volume should consult the resources listed in the sections of "Frequently Cited Web Sites" and "Frequently Cited References." An alphabetical list of authors with page numbers is included at the end of the document. (AEF)
