The aim of "The Oxford Chronology of English Literature" is to provide a wide range of users - from scholars and students to librarians and book collectors - with a digest of the printed record of English literature 1475-2000. The works covered in the Chronology generally fall into the following broad categories: fiction (novels, novellas, short-story collections, anthologies, selected juvenile fiction); poetry (individual works, single-author collections, anthologies); drama; literary scholarship (editions of English texts, editions of classical and foreign texts, editions of letters, dictionaries and other reference works, critical studies); and non-fiction (essays, travel and exploration, literary memoirs, biographical studies, philosophical and religious works, historiography, economics). The CD-ROM features clear and easy to use interface. The main screen offers an instantaneous access to the records grouped in three main indexes, according to the publication year, author or title. The Advanced search enables users quickly and easily to check such specifics as: names, dates and gender of the author, titles and subtitles of works; publishers/imprint details; place of publication; whether a work was published anonymously or pseudonymously; serialization details for many works of fiction; where and when dramatic works were first performed; or if a work was illustrated, and by whom. It also makes it possible to group records according to shared characteristics in order to create lists which can be printed out or copied to a word processor. Users will be able to install the program to the hard drive or run it from the CD-ROM. The program application will be developed in Java, offering some degree of cross-platform compatibility with Macintosh, UNIX and Linux systems.
