American
Chesterton Society
"At the American
Chesterton Society, we are doing everything we can to revive an interest
in the most unjustly neglected writer of the 20th century, a writer who
seems more timely than ever here in the 21st century. Common sense for
the world's uncommon nonsense. Our goal is to get Chesterton's words not
merely back into print, but back into the classroom and back into the
public arena."
G.
K. Chesterton
The aim of this site
is to provide information and resources about Gilbert Keith Chesterton.
The site's owner aims
to provide a single source for all of Chesterton's works which are currently
available as e-texts.

Eliot
Erasmus
Text Project
The purpose of this
web site, available via the University of the South, is to make available
over the web various texts of Desiderius Erasmus. Presently the site owner
is putting on line all of the public-domain texts and translations that
are available, with priority given to works less available in print.
Richard
Hooker
Works by and about Richard Hooker (1554-1600), who became a clergyman
in the Church of England in 1581 and Master of the Temple (i.e. Dean of
the Law School) in 1585-1591. Hooker's masterpiece, Of the Laws of
Ecclesiastical Polity, is arguably one of the most distinguished examples
of Elizabethan literature. King James I is believed to have said about
Hooker, "I observe there is in Mr. Hooker no affected language; but
a grave, comprehensive, clear manifestation of reason, and that backed
with the authority of the Scriptures, the fathers and schoolmen, and with
all law both sacred and civil."
Luminarium
Anthology
"This site combines
three sites first created in 1996 to provide a starting point for students
and enthusiasts of English Literature. Nothing replaces a quality library,
but hopefully this site will help fill the needs of those who have not
access to one."
The
Metaphysical Poets, 17th Century
Although the metaphysical
poets of the 17th Century should not be considered a school or movement,
they shared a frame of mind. They gave great attention to wit, inventiveness,
elaborate stylistic maneuvers, and rational discussion of the world's
phenomena. They were wary of intuition and mysticism.

Paradise Lost

the full text of both editions of Paradise Lost that Milton published,

this end, the site provides four types of content: written works themselves;
guides to the works such as indexes, lists and reading suggestions; biographical
information to supplement and provide perspective for the works; and statements
from Popes and others that place Newman's life in perspective.

Charles
Williams Society
"The Society exists to promote the study and appreciation of the
life and writings of Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886-1945). Charles
Williams is probably best known, to those who have heard of him, as a
leading member (albeit for a short time) of the Oxford literary group,
the "Inklings", whose chief figures were C. S. Lewis and J.
R. R Tolkien. He was, however, a figure of enormous interest in his own
right: a prolific author of plays, fantasy novels (strikingly different
in kind from those of his friends), poetry, theology, biography and criticism.".
