The Belfast Group connected a new generation of poets and writers from Northern Ireland.
Meeting at Philip Hobsbaum’s house in the shadow of Queen’s University, the Group read and commented on the drafts of each others’ poems, plays, and stories. Notable members of the Group included Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, and Michael Longley. Read drafts from these poets and others.
Interactive networks and digitized drafts of poetry make the Belfast Group’s connections visible.
After the Group stopped meeting in 1972, many participants downplayed its importance to their writing, but by graphing the interactions among the members of the Group—in poems or letters—we can better understand the relationships created during the writing workshop.

African American Women Writers of the 19th Century is a digital collection of some 52 published works by 19th-century black women writers. A part of the Digital Schomburg, this collection provides access to the thought, perspectives and creative abilities of black women as captured in books and pamphlets published prior to 1920. A full text database of these 19th and early 20th- century titles, this digital library is key-word-searchable. Each individual title as well as the entire database can be searched to determine what these women had to say about “family”, “religion”, “slavery” or any other subject of interest to the researcher or casual reader. The Schomburg Center is pleased to make this historic resource available to the public.

Large collaborative initiative that involves scholars, teachers, students, professionals of the creative industries, and the general public in investigating how practices of transnational production, distribution and consumption in the field of popular culture have facilitated the appearance of engaging representations of Europe’s cultural identity.
In accordance with the priority defined by the European Agenda for Culture in a Globalised World to promote cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue, it studies the role played by the mobility of people, works and representations in circulating images and themes that constitute a shared cultural asset for large sectors of the European society.
It contributes to the writing of a new narrative of the Europeanisation process by creating and testing new learning methods, resources and tools designed to stimulate the emergence of new creative projects addressed to transnational audiences explicitly dealing with the representation of Europe.

Artist, poet, feminist, entrepreneur, inventor, and world traveler, Mina Loy consorted with nearly every avant-garde movement, including Futurism, Dada, and Surrealism, but was contained by none. Mina Loy: Navigating the Avant-Garde documents her avant-garde affiliations, pursuing new modes of textual and visual expression in order to invite a closer, more informed engagement with her work. This peer-reviewed, digital, multimedia scholarly book is an open educational resource authored by students, staff, and faculty at Davidson College, Duquesne University, and the University of Georgia (UGA). It is the culmination of a five-year collaboration, supported by a generous Digital Humanities Advancement Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Middle English Texts Series is a long-running academic publishing project based out of the University of Rochester’s Robbins Library. The goal of this project is to make relatively unknown or unread medieval texts available to scholars, teachers, and students who may otherwise struggle to find them in the commercial market. These digital editions, which are free for anyone to view and print, embody this ideal of making ‘fringe’ medieval literature accessible to as many people as possible.

DJO is free at point of delivery. Readers have access to high-quality facsimile downloads of each weekly number, which show a fully searchable transcript of the text of each page, which has been patiently corrected by means of the OTC project, and with the help of our volunteers. Authors’ names are being supplied where known, linked to biographical profiles and bibliographies. The site will also document and where possible make freely available all good scholarship relating to the journals. Resources and ‘learning journeys’ based on National Curriculum requirements will be developed for school readers of Hard Times and Great Expectations at GCSE and A-level.
The project is led by John Drew, author of Dickens the Journalist, and co-editor with Michael Slater of the final volume of the Dent Uniform Edition of Dickens’s journalism. He authored entries on All the Year Round and Household Words in the Oxford Reader’s Companion to Dickens, in the forthcoming Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism, and is an ardent admirer of the journals.
