Scribbling Women project and Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project

Although I haven't added the links to them yet, I'll be adding links to these resources:

Scribbling Women (audio versions of stories and plays, including "The Stones of the Village" by Alice Dunbar-Nelson)

Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project (early 20c. music)

Link added to Henry James page

Richard Hathaway has recently added a .pdf file of Daisy Miller showing the changes from the 1878 to the 1909 version; the link has been added to the Henry James page.

Reading questions; Henry James

I'm still organizing and posting the reading questions at the site, some of which are scattered in different directories, and posting more Henry James materials.

I'm also catching up on posting queries to the various author society sites. For the past two months, the spammers have been merciless in filling out the comment forms with junk. Most of the spam follows a set format and is in fractured English or German, so it's easy to delete at a glance. None of it has been posted, of course, but it's time-consuming to look at 20-50 comment forms a day to discover the one that might actually have some relevance. I took down the forms for a while, but they're back up now.

Update to Mary Wilkins Freeman page; some Henry James

I've just received word that the Encyclopaedia Britannica is linking to my Mary E. Wilkins Freeman page; what this means for readers is that they get access to the EB article on Freeman for free.

I've also added some new pedagogical materials on Henry James, including a set of questions for book I of Portrait of a Lady and some brief notes on changes to Portrait of a Lady.
