Authors and Literature

What a Classic! - Writers learn to write well from writers who learned to write well. At least that's the presumption. If you're of like belief, check out this site, with endless search capabilities and fully downloadable texts from some of the world's greatest literature ... all right here, at the Digital Library.

The Fairer Sex? - Okay, maybe it's true. Perhaps women really do make better writers. You can make up your own mind at this unique women-authors-only site, very nicely assembled and searchable, with numerous full texts to download or read on-line., at the Digital Library

Banned in Boston - We've all heard tales of the banning of erotic masterpieces such as Fanny Hill and Lady Chatterly's Lover. But the Canterbury Tales? Check out this complete resource of books that have been banned and/or the subject of attack by censors throughout the years. It's here at--you guessed it!--the Digital Library.

And the Winner Was ... - What makes for a prize-winning novel? Why does one work attract more acclaim than another? If that's what's puzzling you, bunky, the Digital Library is a good place to go for the answers.

What Light through Yon Window? - The Great Bard would have turned over in his grave, but if you're into the complete works of William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Works is a good place to hang out.

Directories

Secret Agents, Man! - It's one of humankind's greatest traumas ... finding an agent. Finding a good agent is even tougher. We can't guarantee you'll hook up with the agent of your dreams courtesy of this WritersNet directory, but it's a start.
