Online-Ressource
The Literary Encyclopedia is an expanding global literary reference work written by over 2000 specialists from universities around the world, and currently provides more than 5500 authoritative profiles of authors, works and literary and historical topics and grows by 60-70 articles each month. (More than 1100 articles are currently commissioned for completion in the next 12 months). We also list more than 22,000 works by date, country and genre. The Literary Encyclopedia offers good coverage of canonical literature originally written in English, French, German and Russian, and is extending its coverage of Italian, Spanish, Latin and Greek. It is built on historical principles so that all our data can be arrayed by date, country and genre and readers can explore writing in its historical context. We are now beginning to add annotated lists of recommended reading which will be of particular value to those studying literature. The publication is very much a living relationship between current scholars and readers and not a repository of information formerly published in printed works.
