The Chadwyck-Healey Company is a division of ProQuest. This "Literature Online" page offers--by library or individual subscription--access to a collection of 300,000 texts of works of English and American literature, either online or by CD-ROM. The following quotations are from the Chadwyck-Healey offering of this service:
"Researchers can access the full text of poetry, drama, and prose fiction from 600 AD to the present day. Contemporary criticism is available through the full text of 61 current literature journals that can be accessed through the renowned Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature (ABELL). In addition, Literature Online offers a cross-searchable reference shelf that incorporates dictionaries of terms and encyclopedias such as The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms and The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics. It also provides a comprehensive indexing of websites, bibliographic information, and background information on authors and their works."
"Literature Online increases its coverage by offering hyperlinks to other relevant websites. From further texts of literary works to information on individual authors to discussion groups devoted to literary topics, this tool greatly expands a user's research capabilities."
"A number of simple search methods make it easy for researchers to find the information they want. Users can search by keyword, author's name, nationality, publication date, literary movement, literary period, and gender. Every work can be searched individually, or in combination with hundreds of other works from the same or from different genres."
