The heart of this "web guide for readers, students, and teachers of English literature" is its Web Index of 19th Century English Literature that gives briefly annotated links to Websites, critical and biographical articles, and e-texts for over 50 well-known authors in nineteenth-century English, American, and Scottish literature. The site also features annotated listings of online resources for English teachers and premium Websites for literary research as well as the site author's thoughts on the current state of academic practice on the Web in the field of literary studies. The site is the brainchild of Jan Pridmore, a PhD candidate at Boston University.
