Ultan's Library

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

		Hello folks,

		Just delurking again for a minute.=20

		I've been meaning to tell you about this for some time, and
ask for=20
		your help. I've recently set up my own webpage (to alleviate
work=20
		related boredom) on my research interests, and have decided
to set up=20
		a Gene Wolfe section, known as Ultan's Library. I'm using
this=20
		website to provide scholarly resources for my research (I'm=20
		completing my PhD on 18th century literature this summer).

		At the moment the Library contains a working bibliography of

		secondary criticism relating to Wolfe, and an unfinished
(very!)=20
		catalogue of reviews of Wolfe's fiction.

		There is also a tentative plan to use the website as a
springboard to=20
		some kind of printed journal/newsletter containing some kind
of=20
		scholarly or serious discussion of Wolfe's fiction. This is
obviously=20
		a long way off, as the time required for such a project will
only be=20
		available once my PhD is finished (soon! soon!)

		Anyway, if you'd all like to come along and have a look at
the site,=20
		I'd appreciate your input on the many things that I have
missed.

		I'm aware of the similar work by Phil Stephensen-Payne in
'Urth-Man=20
		Extraordinaire', so the first stage of the project is to
cover=20
		material post 1990 that isn't covered by him.

		In a similar vein I'd also like to include a page which
provides a=20
		year by year list of Wolfe's unpublished short fiction post
1990.=20
		This is not a task I'm well equipped for - its very hard to
get all=20
		of the short fiction magazines here in the UK - so this is
where you=20
		come in...

		I'd be extremely grateful if you could send me any
information that=20
		would help expand the website, to this address:=20
		j.m.laidlow at bham.ac.uk, marking your emails ULTAN in the
header so=20
		that I can keep them separate from work-related stuff.

		The website can be found at:
		http://members.tripod.co.uk/laidlow/index.htm

		As its hosted by Tripod, you'll get a pop-up ad on the
index-page.=20
		Either disable your java, or close it down. it will only
appear on=20
		the first page you load in.

		I'll post on the list whenever major updates are done to the
site.

		Thanks again,

		Jonathan
