The well known Documenting the American South Project (discussed in the
April 18, 1997 Scout Report) has recently added this section, highlighted
by twenty-five full texts, available in SGML (standard generalized markup
language) and HTML formats. Included are _A Diary From Dixie_, by Mary
Boykin Miller Chesnut, five works by the African American writer Charles
Waddell Chesnutt, two works by Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow, _Tales_, by
Edgar Allen Poe, and _Up From Slavery_, by Booker T. Washington. Images of
covers, title pages, frontispieces, and illustrations may be available,
depending on the work. In addition, there are explanatory introductions for
selected authors. The site also includes a list of "the one hundred most
important Southern literary texts" compiled by the late Professor Robert
Bain, and an article from the _Encyclopedia of Southern Culture._ [JS]
