From this opening page of the Electronic Text Center of the University of Virginia one can click successively on "Collections," "English," "Online Holdings," "The Modern English Collection," and, then, "H" under "Browse by Author's Last Name," for access to E-texts of Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, Jude the Obscure, and Tess of the d'Urbervilles. These texts are encoded in SGML and include a bibliographic header explaining how the electronic text was created and what its print source is. For details about those texts and direct access to them, see below.
The Virginia Electronic Text Center's Far from the Madding Crowd was derived from a machine-readable version in the Oxford Text Archive of a Penguin edition by Ronald Blythe, New York, 1978, with initial SGML markup by Jeffrey Triggs in August, 1993, tagging and corrections and proofreading by Andrea Nagy and Jeffrey Triggs in January, 1994, and further correction and updating in April, 1994, by Jamie L. Spriggs and David Seaman of the Electronic Text Center of the University of Virginia.
The Virginia Electronic Text Center's Tess of the d'Urbervilles was derived from a machine-readable version in the Oxford Text Archive of a W.W. Norton Critical edition by Scott Elledge, New York, 1979, originally prepared by Cathy L. Preston of the Centre for Computer Research in the Humanities at the University of Colorado and tagged in SGML and converted to TEI.2-conformant markup by Jeffrey Triggs on behalf of the Oxford Text Archive in January, 1994. Final checking was done by David Seaman.
The Virginia Electronic Text Center's Jude the Obscure is a machine-readable version of the Harper & Brothers 1896 edition, including illustrations, originally prepared by John Hamm and, in May, 2000, corrected by J. Nathaniel Goldsmith, of the University of Virginia Electronic-Text Center, who added TEI header and tags, and scanned all images.
