General sites on books and literature

BookWire Home Page announces itself as the most comprehensive book-related resource on the Net. I guess it's true. Bookwire is also the home of Publisher's Weekly and the Boston Book Review

For an excellent introduction to literature on the Internet, especially the non-Web opportunities, see Wolfgang Hink's Guide to Literature on the Internet

rec.arts.books FAQ Homepage: have your frequently asked questions answered there!

American Studies Resources on the Internet: Literature and Hypertext

James J. O'Donnell is a classical scholar, with ideas about how to use the net as a teaching tool. This he demonstrates with a nice introduction into classical culture on the WWW.

The WorldWideWeb Virtual Library: Literature. "the granddaddy of book-related resources on the Internet"

University of Amsterdam Foreign Languages Page Links to language and literature related pages

The Word, literature, journals, books is a great list with entries that I chose to leave out: the electronically published writers.

General, maybe rather mixed. Some of these are a good passage to the rest of book-oriented WWW, others have a more restricted scope.

Literary journals

Harvard Advocate Home Page

Tables of Contents for all issues of Postmodern Culture

Boston Book Review Home Page

Some literary link lists

Bibliomaniac List is the richly filled link list of Markus Kolbeck in Leipzig.

The Literary Web, created by a group at the University of Tennessee, with comprehensive selections based on quality and timeliness.

On-Line Literary Research Tools, by Jack Lynch

Andrea's Literary Links

John Faragher's very comprehensive list of Poems Poetry Poets links

LitWeb: more pages for book lovers: similar scope, different results

And Eric Rothfeder's WebLit

Thanks to everyone who expressed appreciation for my pages. Some did so quite explicitly:
Clearinghouse approved
Und dieses, aus die Linkliste der Qualitätszeitung 'Die Zeit' erfreut mich auch sehr!
Eingerichtet und unterhalten von dem Amsterdamer Antiquar Piet Wesselman, ist dies das beste unter den Liebhaberverzeichnissen von Web-Adressen, die mit Schriftstellern, Dichtern, Bibliotheken, Buchhandlungen und Verlagen zu tun haben: reichhaltig und doch übersichtlich, und elegant präsentiert dazu.
These pages owe a lot to many inspiring examples and to all of you who sent me notes to keep me informed and to help me keep these pages updated. Thanks to all!

Piet Wesselman likes and collects modern poetry from all over the world. Send me a comment, an improvement on these pages, or a line by your favourite poet!
