Index to more than 60 e-texts of Hardy poems in an archive that is a subsidiary of eMule.com. EMule.com. The archive is claimed to contain 4068 "classical" "non-copyright" poems by 147 poets, and is maintained at emule.com of Marietta, GA. E-mule.com also maintains a Forum for discussion of the poems in its archive.
COMMENT:
The casual treatment of the sources of the texts of these has been described in response to an inquiry in a way that makes for its own critical comment:
The Forum discussions are primarily by students seeking information for schoolwork; those related to Hardy have been uniformly puerile."We, for the most part, try to gather the information for the page off the net. After we are unable to find new poems, then we turn to books. As for the books, we use anything that we can find that contains non-edited poems, or editions that are not copyrighted. If you be [sic] looking for the names of the books that we use, we don't normally keep that information."
See our GENERAL CAUTION about the use of such texts.
