There are literally hundreds of sites on the web pertaining to Victorian authors and literature. Therefore, to avoid reinventing the wheel, our links to individual author sites will be limited to those who are represented on this site (either through their works or through articles written about them by other Victorian authors). To locate sites for other authors, please see the section on general Victorian literature sites, below. For links to digital text collections and books online, see the Texts page.
