SLS 302 Internet Links
One of the activities you will be involved in this semester
will be helping to increase the number of useful websites for the SLS 302 classes. There
may also be input from students in the other sections of this class!
The Web is an enormous resource, and you should learn
to be a "spider" rather than a "fly" on the WWW--that is, you should learn to be in control
of what you do, the sites you visit on the Web, rather than being caught like a fly in the
infinite number of links (good, bad, and abominable!) available.
The sites listed below are literally the tip of the
iceberg, and we will add more (perhaps with published student comments or ratings as well)
over the course of the semester:
SLS 302
Announcements: A regularly updated page devoted to announcements of
class trips, electronic contact with other SLS 302 classes, and other items of general interest
to students. Professor Feola's class (section 8406) can also find information here, as well as
provide information for us all to share this semester.
Prof. Talarico's
Medieval Internet List. Let this be your starting point for exploring the
internet and the "proven" sites that are worth your time and effort exploring for information
about the Middle Ages.
Columbia University's Digital Dante Project
Sharan Newman's Homepage
This is a "fun" site, created by one of the very best modern medieval mystery writers. Her
novels would make enjoyable and meaninfgul summer reading. In my (humble) opinion, I
believe that she writes stories that rival, or are better than, Ellis Peters's Brother
Cadfael series! Her site lists not only information about her newest novels, but gives
background bibliography (she is very scrupulous about the details of everyday life--especially
women's lives) as well as other sites dealing with the Middle of Ages that are of interest to a
general reading public. Check out her list of
Six
things that "everyone knows" about the Middle Ages and that aren't
true!
The Globe Theatre which is a description with pictures of
the reconstruction taking place in England of Shakespeare's original theater. It is scheduled
to open in London on September 19, 1999, "500 years to the day since the first recorded
performance of the play in the original theater."
