- Will there be updates to the Guide?
In March 2007 you will find the online edition updated with new entries on three important literary figures: Franco Moretti, founder of Stanford's Center for the Study of the Novel; Roberto Schwarz, a Brazilian theorist who is considered to be the most important contemporary literary critic in South America; and Walter J. Ong, a Jesuit scholar whose innovative work explored the intersections of theology, technology, literature, and philosophy.
We'll also incorporate corrections and improvements to the bibliography.
Looking ahead, we plan to add several new entries each year, and as always, we look forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions for new features and functionality.
