_Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An
Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes_
http://www.bartleby.com/cambridge/

This week, Bartleby.com (last reviewed in the December 10, 1999
_Scout Report_) announced the online publication of all eighteen
volumes of the classic _Cambridge History of English and American
Literature_. This excellent free resource "comprises the largest
public reference work of literary criticism and history on the
Internet." Originally published in 1907-1921, the volumes include 303
chapters and more than 11,000 pages, edited and written by a
worldwide panel of 171 leading scholars and thinkers of the early
twentieth century. The online version features over 5,600 files,
searchable by keyword and browseable by volume, chapter, and section.
The electronic _Cambridge History_ also includes chapter and
bibliography indexes. Although a bit dated in parts, these eighteen
volumes are a valuable, and now easily accessible, research tool for
secondary and university students.
