These include English Poetry, English Drama, Early English Prose Fiction and 18th Century Fiction. This service can be used for stylistic comparison, word-finding, textual analysis, as an online concordance and for simply reading obscure texts. Full help and documentation are available both online and in the library. Esp. since I just got a wailing e-mail from my son that somebody beat him to his campus library for the book he needs to write a paper this weekend; maybe it'll be here. Er...confess to ignorance as to why "HUMBOL".

They spent five years trying to get a decent acronym, and finally just gave up on having one that translates. Truly, it's hard to be HUMBOL. Last edited by TEd Remington; 11/21/05 06:00 PM.
