Text and graphics. Summary Web Feet summary: Poe fans can take a brief virtual tour of this museum in Richmond, Virginia. The information is scanty but the images give a feeling for the world Poe lived in and the spooky music adds atmosphere. Audience Main: General.

Title The Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore [web site] / URL http://www.eapoe.org/ Author Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore. Notes The publication date is undetermined and the date used indicates the year the site was originally reviewed.

Text and graphics. Summary Web Feet summary: The society has put together a large amount of information that will be useful to serious Poe scholars and students doing research. Among the resources provided are a list of the standard reference works on Poe, a chronology of his life, extensive biographical information, discussion of Poe's use of alcohol and drugs and of his religious beliefs, images of Poe's acquaintances and surroundings, and selections from his works.

Title The Poe decoder [web site] / URL http://www.poedecoder.com/ Author Nilsson, Christoffer. Notes The publication date is undetermined and the date used indicates the year the site was originally reviewed.

Text and graphics. Summary Web Feet summary: This site promises to solve some of the mysteries surrounding Poe and his works. It contains detailed critical essays on his life and works written by a group of Poe enthusiasts, as well as the complete texts of four of his works. Works analyzed include "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart."

Title Poe's virtual library [web site] / URL http://www.comnet.ca/~forrest/library.html Author Forrest-Lindquist, Peter. Notes This is a gateway site.

The publication date is undetermined and the date used indicates the year the site was originally reviewed.

Text and graphics. Summary Web Feet summary: This one-page resource is a meta-index of Poe information on the Web. Sites are listed by category for quick searching; the page's creator claims that all of the sites he lists are "interesting or significant." Categories for sites are extensive, but some of the most useful are: bibliographies, biographies, complete works, courses, essays, multimedia, societies, and translations. As with many sites with a great number of links, a few are no longer functioning.

Title A clean, well-lighted place [web site] / URL http://home.eol.ca/~command/hem.htm Notes The publication date is undetermined and the date used indicates the year the site was originally reviewed.

Text and graphics. Summary Web Feet summary: Like Hemingway's prose, this Web site doesn't appear very impressive on the surface. It is nothing more than the online text of a short story written by Hemingway in the 1930s. However, serious students of literature will find a visit to this site worthwhile. The selected short story, "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," illustrates the spare style and economy of prose that made Hemingway so famous. If you delve into the layers of the text, you'll find some of the author's observations on suicide and the existence of a supreme being.

Title Hemingway adventure [web site] / URL http://www.pbs.org/hemingwayadventure/

http://www.literarytraveler.com/hemingway/ernestplaces.htm Author Mckenna, Chris. Notes The publication date is undetermined and the date used indicates the year the site was originally reviewed.

Text and graphics. Summary Web Feet summary: Visitors to this site are invited to take a virtual tour of key locations in Ernest Hemingway's life. This site, a companion to a book and PBS series of the same name, is hosted by British actor, comedian, and writer Michael Palin. With Palin as your tour guide, you'll make stops in Chicago & Michigan, Italy, Paris, Spain, Africa, Key West, Cuba, and the American West. At each location, you'll learn more about Hemingway's life through biographical information and photos. Each section of the site also features a journal entry from Palin as well as a sidebar, with information ranging from Hemingway's favorite recipes, such as Trout au Bleu, to information on Hemingway's works to a video clip of Palin on location (RealPlayer is required).

Teachers will be interested in the Classroom section, which features lesson plans for grades 6 to 8. To learn more about locations that figured prominently in Hemingway's life, visit Literary traveler (http://www.literarytraveler.com/hemingway/ernestplaces.htm).
