Project REVEAL (Read and View English & American Literature) gathers together manuscript collections from 25 great English and American novelists, essayists, journalists, and short story writers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. On the landing page, readers will find links to each of the authors, as well as an overview of the project, which sought to increase access, enhance user experience, and create beneficial workflows. Readers will likely want to peruse the authors most meaningful to them. For instance, selecting Hart Crane navigates to a page with an impressive portrait of the author, a short biography, and six original documents, including letters, envelopes, and a note on an Easter card. The site also features primary resources for such luminaries as Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Henry James, Jack London, Washington Irving, Oscar Wilde, and many others.
