In recent years, there has been an explosion in the amount of electronic primary texts that are available on the Internet. Whilst copyright restrictions prevent this form of publication for many of the latest works, a large proportion of texts written by British women in the Victorian period are now out of copyright and, thanks to the work of various institutions and enthusiasts, have been made freely available.
Whilst only the most fervent supporters of E-Texts would suggest that they will eventually replace printed books or even advocate that students and academics can rely on them to the extent that they need never visit a library, there are certain advantages that E-Texts have over their codex counterparts. Perhaps the most obvious of these is one of accessibility. Once a text is published on the Internet, it is available to anyone with a computer and an Internet connection. There are no opening hours and none of the frustration of finding that someone else got there first! Moreover, some of the texts listed in this bibliography are not widely available in any other format.
However, the main advantage that E-Texts have is that they are searchable. E-Texts are machine readable, which means that they are made up of a series of 0s and 1s that can be read by a computer and displayed on a monitor. Like word processors, all web browsers are capable of performing various kinds of searches in a matter of seconds. The advantages of being able to search a long Victorian novel for a certain phrase or perform stylistic analyses of texts are beginning to be recognised, and computers are increasingly becoming accepted as an invaluable research tool.
Despite their advantages however, using E-Texts can be problematic because of the lack of restrictions that are placed upon the material that is available on the Internet. It is conceivable that anyone could upload a text and suggest that it is authoritative when the reality could be, and often is, very different. Many of the E-Texts that are currently available on the Internet have been digitised by volunteers and it is not uncommon for them to contain errors. Moreover, even those that are error-free can be rendered not viable for academic purposes if the edition that has been used to create the electronic version is not documented. In order to raise standards and provide the highest possible quality of texts, the Text Encoding Initiative was launched in 1987. It produced a set of guidelines that stipulate how texts intended for use in the humanities should be digitised, and there are many reputable sites that adhere to the guidelines that they advocate.
A large proportion of the texts listed in this bibliography are available at one or more of four sites which offer extensive E-Text archives. These sites are evaluated below and there is an explanation of the forms of encoding which are commonly used in creating digital texts.

Electronic Text Centre at The University of Virginia
http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/
This site is aimed at, and maintained by members of the academic community. It contains some public domain texts and some that are commercially licensed. All texts are accompanied by a TEI header, which contains approximately two pages of information about the text itself, the text used as a copy-text, the identity of the transcriber and any errors and corrections that have been made. In addition, there is an explanation of any conventions that might have been used in transcription.
Some of the texts at this site are illustrated and / or include photographs of the covers of the edition used. For some works, it is possible to choose to download the entire work or receive individual chapters or illustrations.
This site is well run. It follows the TEI guidelines and the texts that it offers are of a high standard. The following screen shot is of its “Modern English Collection”, which contains a wide selection of texts written by women writers, including many British women who published material in the Victorian period.
Oxford Text Archive
http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/ota/public/index.shtml
The Oxford Text Archive is a British site, which in itself is unusual as much of the work being done to provide digitised texts it taking place in the USA. Like the Electronic Text centre at Virginia, it is aimed at the academic community and is part of the Arts and Humanities Data Service. It is supported by the University of Oxford, the Joint Systems Community and the Arts and Humanities Research Board all of which adds to the site’s authority and reliability.
The texts on offer here are available in a range of different formats, the majority of which are encoded. They are clearly documented and accompanied by a TEI header. The site includes the usual search facility or there is the option to look up an individual author and see which texts are held. There is also a downloadable and regularly updated catalogue in PDF form. The majority of texts are available for immediate download, although some are only released following a written request to the transcriber.
The site contains many texts written by Victorian women writers, although they are, in practise, restricted to those writers who are traditionally perceived as canonical. George Eliot and Mrs Gaskell are particularly well represented. The following screen shot shows a selection taken from the Oxford Text Archive’s catalogue of E-Texts of works written by Mrs Gaskell. At the time of writing, twenty-four texts by this author are on offer. Seventeen of these are freely available, with the further seven available only after a written request has been submitted.
Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg was one of the first collections of E-Texts to be established. It is one of the largest archives and is probably the one that is most well known. Originally the brainchild of Michael Hart at the Carnegie Mellon University, it is made up entirely of either out of copyright or copyright cleared texts.
Unlike the two previous sites, it is aimed at the general public with the stated aim of maximum accessibility. The texts chosen are the ones considered to have the widest appeal and they are digitised by volunteers. The only format available is that of ASCII or plain text and typographical errors are not uncommon. The texts are of a varying standard and this is largely down to the skill and acuracy of the individual transcribers. In the majority of cases there is no way of ascertaining which edition has been used as a copy-text and indeed, the site includes a disclaimer to this effect.
Despite these drawbacks however, Project Gutenberg texts are available without charge for research and teaching purposes and the site contains a vast selection of texts written by Victorian Women Writers.
Victorian Women Writers Project
http://www.indiana.edu/~letrs/vwwp/
The three sites discussed so far have been examples of archives that hold a variety of texts of different genres and from different periods. This site however, as its name suggests, is a specialized one, compiled and held at the University of Virginia. It contains a wide range of texts and the focus seems to be on the works of lesser known writers. Perry Willett, the general editor, sets out the aims of the project:
The goal of the Victorian Women Writers Project is to produce highly accurate transcriptions of works by British women writers of the 19th century, encoded using the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). The works, selected with the assistance of the Advisory Board, will include anthologies, novels, political pamphlets, religious tracts, children’s books, and volumes of poetry and verse drama. Considerable attention will be given to the accuracy and completeness of the texts, and to accurate bibliographical descriptions of them.
Texts downloaded from the VWWP are accompanied by a TEI header of which the site provides a sample and an explanation.The Texts themselves are of a consistently high standard, are well documented with any corrected errors clearly marked, and the editors provide an explanation of the conventions used during transcription. This site is a extremely useful resource for anyone with an interest in the works of Victorian Women Writers and many of their texts feature in the following bibliography. Further information about the project is available in the following article:

‘The purpose of encoding within a text’ writes Susan Hockey, ‘is to provide information which will assist a computer program to perform functions on that text’. [1] The E-Texts listed in the following bibliography are available in a variety of different formats – some are encoded and some are not.
Plain Text files – or ASCII Files – are not encoded. Documents in this format will consist, as the name suggests, of plain text. This means that there will be no underlining, no boldface or italics, text will be of uniform size and without any variety of font styles. The following example shows the first stanza of The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim’s Point , by Elizabeth Barret Browning, in ASCII form:
[2]
The main advantage of ASCII text is that is widely available. It can be read by the vast majority of software and in 1972 it was adopted as international standard. It is possible to perform simple searches on documents written in plain text and many E-Texts are available in this form. A text in ASCII form however will appear less sophisticated than a word processed document and any formatting will be lost. This is in important consideration in poetry for example where the form and layout of the text can often make a significant contribution to the meaning.
HTML stand for hypertext markup language and this is the language that most Internet browsers currently read and the language that is used to control the appearance of many web pages. HTML consists of ‘tags’ which a browser reads and then arranges the appearance of the text on the screen accordingly. HTML tags can be used to instruct a browser to display visual features such as bold or italics. The following shows an example of HTML code and the effect that it has upon the text on the screen:
<B>George Eliot</B>’s sixth novel is entitled <I>Middlemarch</I>.
George Eliot’s sixth novel is entitled Middlemarch.
HTML files are therefore more visually appealing than ASCII files and attempts can be made to maintain a sense of the original formatting of a document. Long documents are often easier to read on screen in HTML form than are text files.
SGML stands for Standardized Markup Language, which is the parent language of HTML. There are, however, important distinctions between them.Whereas HTML uses tags to specify the way text appears on screen, SGML uses tags to describe the structure of the text and the separate units that make up this text – for example <title>, <poem>,<stanza> etc.
SGML is the markup language recommended by the TEI as it allows for greater control of a text and enables scholars to perform much more complex and precise searches of a text. A search on document in ASCII or HTML form could find all the examples of a certain word in the entire text but a search performed on an SGML encoded document could limit that search to lines spoken by an individual character. Institutions that adhere to the TEI guidelines will produce texts that are encoded in SGML. However, it should be noted that whereas most web browsers can read these files, to perform additional searches and sophisticated textual analyses, additional software will be required.
PDF stands for Portable Document Files, and there are a few E-Texts in this format listed in the following bibliography. A PDF file reader is required in order to view a PDF file. The most commonly used program is Adobe’s Acrobat Reader – which is now available free of charge at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat

There are many advantages to be had in using Electronic Texts. Although as a tool for reading they remain the poor relation of the printed book, they are extremely useful tools for searching and analysing text. It is likely that the current trend towards exploiting the potential of computers to aid academic research will continue, and there will be a corresponding increase in the number of available E-Texts. Whilst it is possible to use a search engine to find available E-Texts, a knowledge of the best and most reliable sites that offer texts suitable for academic purposes is invaluable.
