MLA International Bibliography
Indexing your favorite literary topics since 1922
This site represents the collective work of the students in a graduate-level English class taught by Professor Matthew Kirschenbaum at the University of Maryland in 2014.
The class read a selection of literary responses to the 9/11 attacks and created related materials that include an introduction to each work and its critical reception, character studies, questions for discussion, close readings, and interviews.
Digitized materials from Lehigh University Special Collections include items from the 15th through the 20th century, among them handbills, scrapbooks, contracts, deeds, manuscripts of literary works, and correspondence from major American and European writers, statesmen, philosophers, and scientists.
Each item is accompanied by a detailed annotation. The collection can be browsed by topic or author and searched by keyword, date, and document type. The majority of documents date from the 18th century forward. Some course assignments, transcriptions and translations are also featured.

Whitman goes global. Read Walt Whitman’s American epic poem in 15 languages (at last count); commentaries and questions in English, Russian and Persian; and recordings of the poem in English and Persian. In this poem, Whitman “sought … to voice an ‘I’ that would for the first time articulate just what a non-hierarchical and nondiscriminating sensibility would sound like.”
