Updates to the Stephen Crane bibliography

I've updated the current bibliography at the Stephen Crane Society site. Several new entries for 2008 turned up in the search as well.

More Constance Fenimore Woolson Letters

Although a list isn't yet available, Sharon Dean has found twenty-five additional letters to Samuel Mather, Jr., privately owned, on microfilm at Western Reserve Historical Society. I've updated the Constance Fenimore Woolson letters page accordingly and will post more as information becomes available.

Updated main site

I've updated my main site at http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/index.html and have added a navigation bar. This makes it easier to find the literary crossword puzzles and quizzes, bibliographies, discussion questions, and so on, which were (sorry) unintentionally difficult to find before.

If you haven't tried any of the crossword puzzles and aren't usually a fan of them, don't worry: the clues aren't tricky if you know the author's works.

Stephen Crane Studies: New Articles

As I mentioned in Twitter, the new issues (all of 2008, vol. 17) of Stephen Crane Studies arrived yesterday, with several very interesting articles. I'd especially recommend Stanley Wertheim's "The New York Topography of Maggie and George's Mother" for anyone who studies or teaches either of Crane's so-called "Bowery Tales." Wertheim, a lifelong resident of New York as well as a renowned Crane scholar, argues convincingly that although the setting of these tales has (mis)identified as the Bowery, they largely take place in other areas of New York.

Stephen Crane Studies isn't available online, but I hope that it will be some time.
