Then & Now: Romantic-Era Poets in the Encyclop忙dia Britannica Eleventh Edition 1910-1911
The objective of project is to provide a cultural and literary snapshot of how the 11th edition of The Encyclopedia Britannica represented perhaps the most important grouping of British poets—those writing in the so-called Romantic period (including, for example, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, Lord Byron, John Keats, Percy Shelley, Walter Scott). The proposed site will have a page for each poet, on which the EB11 entry for that poet will appear. The valuable, unique, and added feature is that each of the approximate 40 or so entries (one web page per poet) collected from EB11 will be introduced and evaluated by a leading scholar of today.
