| The Brief Timeline covers political and cultural history as well as authors
and events in American literature from approximately 1550 to 1929. Set in
parallel columns that match events with literary works, each page prior to
1800 covers fifty years, and each page thereafter contains a year-by-year
history of the decade and its literature. Included are many links to
historical sites, to pages on American authors, and to other American
literature sites. To improve speed of loading, this site includes few
graphics but has links to many more. It is fully searchable, and it is
available in frames and non-frames versions. A new addition to the site
provides information about and links to films and original recordings of
popular music from 1880-1929, including RealAudio and MIDI files. |
