In an electronic online library
,
all of the works referred to here could be accessed directly from this
text, either at their contents pages or at the points where the excerpts
quoted occur. Since many of the works quoted are out of print and are difficult
to obtain through the public library system, this would obviously make
access to them much easier as well as enhancing the reading experience.
Surveys of critical literature, a cornerstone of any research work, will
be of much greater use in the future if the electronic online library system
is implemented.
