Re: American Authors

Try Multnomah County Library's Homework Center, HS Literature
http://www.multcolib.org/homework/hslit.html

In a (very) quick look, I noted these two sites:

PAL: Perspectives in American Literature
http://www.csustan.edu/english/reuben/pal/TABLE.HTML
Excellent source for information on specific authors by period of
American history from the Colonial Period to the Present. Additional
information including obituaries for some authors, introductory essays
for each period (e.g., Early 19th Century Transcendentalism, The
Harlem Renaissance) and bibliographies.

Resources for American Literature
http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~daniel/amlit/index.html
Student works, interactive text, interpretations of several major
American works including A Raisin in the Sun, The Yellow Wallpaper,
Young Goodman Brown, McTeague, Rip Van Winkle, The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow, Bartleby the Scrivener, The Blue Hotel, Langston Hughes'
poems, American poetry and songs, and a few others.

Cheers. Edith.

Help!  I have a teacher coming into the library looking for American
Authors.  Someone on the listserv mentioned a web site that was great
for
high school students.  Whoever you were could you e-mail me the web
site.
Thanks so much.
