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.
