New American Verse Project texts added

[Chris Powell]

The Humanities Text Initiative at the University of Michigan is pleased to 
announce the addition of 15 new texts to the American Verse Project.  Works 
by women and African-American authors not contained in other electronic text 
collections have been added, as have works by well-known authors such as 
Edgar Allan Poe. 

The American Verse Project is a collaborative project between the University 
of Michigan Humanities Text Initiative (HTI) and the University of Michigan 
Press. The project is assembling an electronic archive of volumes of American 
poetry prior to 1920. The full text of each volume of poetry is being 
converted into digital form and coded in Standard Generalized Mark-up 
Language (SGML) using the TEI Guidelines.  The texts are searchable and 
can be viewed in HTML as well as SGML.

The American Verse Project is located at
