General Uses

An encyclopedic collection of essays and reproductions of published studies, both article and book length, on a very wide range of topics related to Victorian life and art. Some entries are created by links to remote sites. Authors of the essays are identified, as are published sources from which they may have been derived. Frequent contributors include George Landow of Brown University, Glenn Everett of the University of Tennessee at Martin, and various students. Faculty from many other institutions, as well as some students, also contribute, and instructions on how to do so are provided. Faculty contributors are identified by their rank and institutional affiliation; the status of student contributors is also noted.

The entries themselves are arranged under eighteen major headings:

1. "The Victorians,"
2. "Social History,"
3. "History,"
4. "Economic Contexts,"
5. "Religion,"
6. "Philosophy,"
7. "Genre and Technique,"
8. "Visual Arts,"
9. "Science,"
10. "Technology,"
11. "Gender Matters,"
12. "Related WWW Resources,"
13. "Search,"
14. "Authors,"
15. "Victorian Design,"
16. "Victorian Web Books,"
17. "Credits,"
18. "Want to Contribute?"

These, in turn, can be further subdivided: the "Authors" section, for example, is divided not only into an alphabetical list of authors, but there may be many sub-pages for any given author. Entries are also created by links to remote sites deemed reliable.

Hardy-related Content

In the "Authors" section there is a page http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/victorian/authors/hardy/hardyov.html devoted to Hardy, with many contributions by Philip V. Allingham, Faculty of Education, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario, who is a Contributing Editor of the Victorian Web, as well as by others. It is subdivided into "Biography," "Works," "Economic Contexts," "Politics," "Science," "Literary Relations," "Visual Arts," "Religion," "Genre and Mode,"Themes," "Imagery," "Characterization," "Related Resources," and "Leading Questions." These categories, in turn, have sub-pages. Some of the topics taken up in these sections are as follows, but new catageories and new materials are frequently added, so it is important to check the site itself for all of the information that might be available.
