- 'Archaeologica' is an online source for archaeological news and information. Its main feature it that it is updated daily - a quality absent from most archaeological news websites. The site is part of the 'Archaeology on the Net' web-ring, which itself is owned by one of Archaeologica's collaborators. 'Archaeologica' began as a single news topic section on the bulletin board 'Archaeological News'. The news site quickly grew in popularity and its owner, Claire Britton-Warren, came to realise that the site's appeal lay in the fact that there were very few websites that covered only archaeological and historical news and none that were updated daily. |

Surrealism (Oct 17 2003 02:45 GMT) - This Web site on Surrealism accompanies a BBC Radio 3 series about art, culture and ideas. Surrealism was a movement in art and literature, primarily, that flourished in the 1920s. Inspired, in part, by the ideas of Freud, the Surrealists undertook an exploration of the unconscious in all its violence and secrecy. The site contains an A-Z of Surrealism, written by Kevin Jackson. This deals with the personalities and ideas associated with the movement. |

- This full-text electronic edition Henry James's 'A London Life' is based on the first UK book edition of the nouvelle published in an eponymous volume by Macmillan in 1889. It has been sympathetically prepared for on-line publication by Adrian Dover, whose interventions are minimal and are fully explained in a separate document. The story, written on 1887, is accompanied by a short introduction by the editor that links to extracts from the author's notebooks, and by a brief annotated critical bibilography that is divided into two sections, one dedicated to 'texts' and another to 'commentaries and discussions'. Editor's notes are also available in a separate frame and can be accessed by clicking on hyperlinked items in the body of the original text. (Alina Ghimpu-Hague) |

- This full-text electronic edition of Henry James's 'Brooksmith' can be found on Adrian Dover's Henry James Web site and is based on the 1892 Macmillan book edition.

The text is accompanied by the editor's introduction, by an annotated critical bibliography, and by a note on the text; the latter contains links to a document describing the editorial method used during production, to a fragment from the author's preface, and to an excerpt from his notebooks. Further explanatory notes can be accessed by clicking on hyperlinked items in the body of the story. |
