Under Construction

As of this date, 3/4/05, this site is still under construction. However, volume II of The Works of Anna Laetitia Barbauld is now completely copyedited and mounted as TEI files.

Our goal is to have each work available here as a TEI-encoded document. TEI-encoded files adhere to the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) Consortium rules and guidelines for the XML encoding of texts. As stated on the TEI Consortium website:

Initially launched in 1987, the TEI is an international and interdisciplinary standard that helps libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars represent all kinds of literary and linguistic texts for online research and teaching, using an encoding scheme that is maximally expressive and minimally obsolescent.

For further information about our interpretation of TEI, see The Poetess Tradition: Editorial Decisions. For an introduction to TEI-encoding and its applications for the academic/pedagogical setting, see An Introduction to TEI.

The way each document listed below has been coded using TEI can be viewed if you open them in a simple text-editing program such as BBLite or NotePad; you may have to download them to do so. These documents as coded are also viewable in some browsers, Microsoft Internet Explorer being the best among them. If you "view source" in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can see the prolog -- the declaration of Document Type and entity declarations. We have used TEI P4, transforming TEI files into the corresponding HTML files that you see on our Works Page using the XSL downloads available from the TEI organization. We modified those XSL files -- you are welcome to use our modifications.
