This Directory is intended to serve as a guide to the rich storehouse of Hebrew authors. Space limitations have imposed restrictions. Those who are included represent a first selection only; it was not possible to cover the entire range of writers working in the Hebrew language. It is our hope to update the Directory in future editions. Furthermore, information on published translations has been condensed in some cases, and works published in anthologies or literary journals have not been included. The writers in the Directory have been consulted as far as possible. We thank those who cooperated and apologize for any errors or omissions that have unwittingly occurred.

a web site devoted to translations and parodies of Lewis Carroll's popular poem, 'The Jabberwocky', first published in 'Through the Looking Glass, and what Alice Found There'. The original poem, renowned for its inventive use of portmanteau and suggestive nonce words, has been translated into almost 30 different languages. This site hosts 58 separate translations, into languages including Afrikaans, Choctaw, Czech, Esperanto, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Klingon (incomplete), Latin, Russian, Spanish, Welsh, and Yiddish. In addition to the translations there are 23 parodies on the site. A more useful section consists of extracts from Carroll's original text, including Humpty Dumpty's exegesis. Carroll's own interpretative suggestions and pronunciation guides (from his correspondence) are also reproduced on the site, as are a few short notes on the origins of the poem, and comments on the difficulties facing its translators.
The Furness Shakespeare Library has made available over the internet rare and often first editions of Elizabethan documents contemporary to Shakespeare, as well as Shakespeare's own works. By scanning the images of these rare texts, the library hopes to inspire interest and learning through texts most will never have the opportunity to see otherwise. Within this website you can browse by author or text. While some texts are complete others contain title pages or illustrations, or the author's comments. Under ERIC (English Renaissance in Context) there are tutorials designed to assist teachers. The tutorials do not supply answers like study guides, rather they propose important questions about the text and bring up issues to be discussed in class. There are tutorials on "Romeo and Juliet", "Merchant of Venice", "Richard III", "King Lear", and topics about Renaissance publishing and printing.
