Links we've loved

Welcome to the English 100/8 links page. Here you'll find links that started out on our home page. They migrated after we made our way down the syllabus - and now they sit, retired yet (at least somewhat) active.

Apologies in advance for any broken links: the web does tend to shift around. Maybe this is the place to observe that AS&H, at any rate, has remained determined and unmoved for over four years.

Enjoy!
