A section of “The Imperial Archive,” a digital project created by the School of English at the Queen’s University of Belfast which provides internet resources concerning the study of Imperial and Postcolonial literature, this website delves into the postcolonial literature of India. It is basically divided into two main parts, colonial and postcolonial India. The historical background of both periods are provided, alongside introductions of the famous English writers of that time: Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling in the former and Rushdie in the latter. Actual e-versions of their texts are provided, alongside papers that focus on not only these texts itself, but also the socio-cultural backdrop that they were written in. The site is concise and clear-cut, and the additional research references one can gain through it can only be helpful.

A webpage focused on the reading and understanding of Jean Rhys's "Wide Sargasso Sea," this site provides much helpful information that will allow the user to grasp the novel more fully.

Created and maintained by the English Lit. department of Fujen University under the supervision of Prof. Pin-chia Feng, the webpage uses a basic HTML format to explain not only details concerning the novel but also the background in which it was written. A brief biography of Jean Rhys's is first introduced, with a focus on her "ambivalent self-identity" as a creole writer, which helps one understand the backdrop on which her writing is placed upon. Thought-provoking study questions are asked to help the reader look into major themes and motifs more easily, thus enabling a more close reading. The best aspect of this website is that it does not end by simply asking questions, nor does it set forth a "fixed answer" to the reader; rather, it gives "clues" through the use of important quotes and page numbers, to encourage the reader to answer the questions on one's own. Additional links are provided for further research.

The contents enable a more in-depth analysis on the reader's part, and will be undoubtedly helpful as a starting point for anyone who is studying Rhys’s novel.

This web page is part of the Postcolonial Studies website (PS), which is a project in progress at the English Department at Emory University. Begun in Spring 1996, it is intended to serve primarily as a resource for students of postcolonial literature and theory at Emory University.
This "Filipino American Literature" web page provides intensive background knowledge about Filipino American Literature from the postcolonial point of view. Sub-categories are like these: The Postcolonial Meets the "Ethnic" United States ,Filipinos in the United States, Filipinos Writing in the United States,A "Different" Asian American Literature etc. These categories are very interesting themes that need a certain depth in their contnes but they give just introductory level of explanation.
However, on the whole, very useful site!
