Resources for Students of Literature

The majority of the following sites were originally compiled and arranged by Professor Terrance Kearns of the University of Central Arkansas.  I shall be updating and modifying these links from time to time as new sites become known to me or as old sites are retired, and I would certainly appreciate any help you may have to offer in keeping this list useful.  Should you note any glaring omissions in the list, if you know of other links that would be helpful contributions, or if you discover that any of the following sites have either moved or vanished, please let me know.
