Subject: Electronic Texts


Can anyone direct me to either of these texts in machine-readable form?

1) Spenser's "Faerie Queene." (I know that Oxford has this, but I'd like
to avoid all of their restrictions.)

2) Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina."

Elaine, here's a query I sent in last night -- must be one of the ones
you lost. Germaine
-----

I'm in the last phases of editing an Anthology of English-Canadian
exploration writing, and I've come across a quotation from some 18th
century verse which I don't recognize. It's possible that I am just
dumb and it's something famous, but a learned friend thinks not.
Does anyone recognize these lines?

Peace to the ashes, and the virtuous mind,
Of her who lived in peace with all mankind;
Learn'd from the heart, unknowing of disguise,
Truth in her thoughts, and candour in her eyes;
Stranger alike to envy and to pride,
Good sense her light, and nature all her guide;
But now removed from all the ills of life,
Here rests the pleasing friend and faithful wife.

Anyone who can help will make me grateful, likewise my publisher,
and doubtless also the spirits of Samuel Hearne, Mary Norton (his
country wife, whose death he was lamenting) and the poet in question.

Subject: Literature of Trinidad and Jamaica

I have been trying to learn more about the anglophone literature of
the Caribbean and have done a modest amount of reading in the area.
A chance to take an inexpensive trip to Jamaica and Trinidad came
up and I grabbed it. Anyone have any suggestions about people to
contact, sights to see, etc. for giving me a sense of the cultural
background, intellectual life, etc. of these islands?

I'm sorry, perhaps this is a re-posting of a message that didn't get any answer
and in the meantime my e-mail was down, so I try another time.
Any news about the Humanities Computing Yearbook 1991?
If you have any news could you write to my e-mail address?
Thank you.
Maurizio
