While researching critical edition online, we've turned up a host of sites that, though they do not fit our criteria as online critical editions, nevertheless are worth a look to those interested in online publishing's development. A selection of those sites are presented here, by no means an exhaustive list, and as with the critical editions, their presence indicates no participation in this site. Once again, we welcome your comments and annotations.

Good table of contents to the work. Editor's introduction apparently no longer online. Not intended to replace, but rather to "complement" print editions. |

A concentrated effort to promote online pulishing and science. We're still working our way through RC's individual sites, some of which may well constitute critical editions... stay tuned. |

Seems to be evolving toward an online critical edition of Whitman's work; for now, a very nicely laid out, easy-to-use archive of all kinds of Whitman. Geared, like the Dickinson archives, in part to teaching the writer. |
