The very best place to begin
is with Prof. Alan Liu's monumental project, "The Voice of the Shuttle," which
features an astonishing number of links to other sites, not just in Romanticism
but throughout literary study - and also in other disciplines. You'll find materials
for courses offered at other institutions, as well as a remarkable array of
reference materials, from encyclopedias to map-making utilities and telephone
directories. Have a look - you won't be disappointed.

Another fascinating website is the Romanticism
Chronology, coordinated on Liu's site by Prof. Laura Mandell of Ohio University.
Here you can select any year within the Romantic period and follow a variety
of links to historical, social, political and other events, as well as to works
of art in all the media. It is a rich and thoroughly fascinating resource. Home

From this same site, here is an excellent list of other Romantics-related websites.

Kathy Johnson (UNL Libraries) has put together a wonderful finding list for book reviews of works published in the Romantic period and later in the 19th century. This bibliography comes complete with shelf locators for the volumes in the coillection at UNL's Love Library, and also with "hot" links to on-line and other electronic versions of these materials. To get to this list, click here.
My own site is minimal at present, but
evolving. In addition to selected course materials, there are links there to various
aspects of the Corvey Project, which involves the magnificent collection of Romantic
literary texts the UNL Libraries have acquired and the library's outstanding collection
of 18th- and 19th-century British periodicals (go to the
"Projects" heading).

I also maintain a site that I call Studies
in Romanticism at the University of Nebraska, which is the site for various
projects, including those relating to the Corvey Collection at the University
of Nebraska Libraries.
Here are a number
of other useful sites for information, research, and general browsing; most
of these contain links to additional sites.
