EDA provides high-resolution images of manuscripts of Dickinson's poetry, along with transcriptions and annotations from selected historical and scholarly editions. This first release focuses on gathering images of those poems included in The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Variorum Edition, edited by R. W. Franklin (Cambridge: Belknap Press of the Harvard University Press, 1998). This site is not a new edition of Dickinson's poems. It is, as its name says, an archive that seeks to make available in one virtual place those resources that seem central to the study of Dickinson's work: images of her manuscripts; a selection of editions of those manuscripts; and selected print and electronic resources that serve as a starting point for the study of Dickinson's manuscripts.

an independent web resource dedicated to the dissemination of information about literature (fiction, drama and poetry) written by Spanish women. The site is divided into two sections: the first is a 'magazine' that offers regularly updated news of publications by Spanish women, reviews, interviews, events, literary prizes, book fairs and signings. There are links within the magazine to websites of specific publishers and authors where appropriate, and to other websites that may be of interest. The magazine invites and publishes reader comments about its articles, and the user may also access an archive of material. The second section is a unique, extensive index of 20th Century Spanish women writers, offering biographical and bibliographical details.

Novels-On-Line is an ongoing project making freely accessible full-text transcripts of some of the rarest works in the Chawton House Library collection. These texts, which explore such broad-ranging themes as satire, slavery, marriage, witchcraft and piracy, signal the rich texture and innovative character of women's writing in the period 1600 to 1830. In bringing these little-known novels to a wider audience, it is hoped to stimulate interest in these works amongst a new generation of readers and to encourage critical scholarship of some of the more obscure texts and authors represented in the collection.
