This sight has also been added to the Curriculum Library Web pages under ‘Course Links.” 

After reading a great story, poem, play, essay, or critical article, you may want to know more. The Internet provides all kinds of information to aid your research, so we've compiled LitLinks — annotated to show you what kinds of information about a work, its author, or period you'll find on each site.  LitLinks are organized alphabetically by author within five genres.
