More Frank Norris: A Man's Woman

Updates to the Frank Norris page at the American literature and Howells Society sites: Project Gutenberg has just released A Man's Woman, which means that all Norris's novels are now available online.

Bestsellers of the twentieth century

This site at Hyde Park Books http://paperbarn.www1.50megs.com/BestSellers/BSLC.htm
has lists of bestsellers from 1900-2002. Especially worth noting for 1900-1910:

Edith Wharton, The House of Mirth was a bestseller in 1905 AND 1906.
Owen Wister's The Virginian and Frank Norris's The Pit shared the honors in 1903 but lest we get too exalted an idea of the audience's taste, Alice Hegan Rice had two books on the list that year: Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch and Lovely Mary. More alarmingly, Thomas Dixon (The Clansman) makes a few appearances in this decade, too.

Amlit pages have moved

The American literature site pages have been transferred to www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/amlit/index.html , and the pages at the Gonzaga site now automatically redirect visitors to the new site.

More additions to the sites; new WDH in the News Blog

I'm still making changes to the author society sites and have shifted the links on the Amlit pages to refer to the WSU site: http://www.gonzaga.edu/faculty/campbell/enl311/aufram.html and the rest now refer to WSU pages.

Added to the sites page: this nice interactive literary map of NYC from the New York Times:
