| Sites devoted to specific writers range widely in quality and content. Many provide up-to-date bibliographies or links to full-text resources. Others offer only skimpy biographical information. Such sites are maintained by academic departments, faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, writers themselves, or simply fans of the subjects. Those created by the latter are usually the weakest, with some notable exceptions. Those created by students usually disappear when they graduate. The sites below represent the best available along with some incomplete but interesting pages. Major literary figures may be missing because their sites are inferior. Guides to additional sites include American Academy of Poets Poetry Exhibits, Author Links (Johannes Gutenberg Univ.), Author Links (Yahoo!), Author Websites (annotated index; Book Wire), Calendar of Authors (Kuusankoski [Finland] Public Library), Directory of American Poets and Fiction Writers (Poets & Writers), Online Literary Criticism Collection (Internet Public Library), and Twentieth-Century Authors (guide to Web resources; College & Research Libraries News).
