British Authors
The British Authors archive compiles some 150 texts, images, and photographs, related to famous writers of the United Kingdom, notably Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, and Mary Shelley. A follow-up to the American Authors project conceived by MIT lecturer Wyn Kelley of Literature, this archive was designed to support Introduction to Fiction, a course that investigates the uses and boundaries of fiction in a range of novels and narrative styles. Students can access a variety of multimedia materials that provide context for the authors’ works, including an audio interview with Virginia Woolf and original authors’ notes.
