Mississippi Writers Page
 

MWP Projects

The lists and entries of the original Mississippi Writers Page (MWP) were made browseable with several links.

  • About This Site
  • Just Published
  • News and Events
  • Literary Landmarks
  • Mississippi Writer Timeline
  • Journals and Magazines
  • Mississippi Publishers
  • Features
  • Other Web Resources
  • Browse listings by: author, title, place, year, genre

To preserve the extensive projects of the MWP, we have compiled several resources, available here:

  1. An Open Educational Resource (OER), structured as a reference guide: PDF with searchable text
  2. An interactive timeline of Mississippi Literary History using Knight Lab's open source Timeline.js
  3. An interactive map of "Mississippi Literary Landmarks" using the free version of Arc-GIS Online
  4. A zip folder of the files from the original web site, that can be used for future projects
  5. An image gallery of book jackets and publication information from the "Just Published" section of the site
Printing is not supported at the primary Gallery Thumbnail page. Please first navigate to a specific Image before printing.

    Mississippi Writers Page

    This open educational resource preserves much of the original text from the Mississippi Writers Page, an online site maintained by the University of Mississippi's Department of English from the late 1990s through the mid-2000s. Focusing on writers both born and working in Mississippi, it included biographies of the writers, information about their books and other publications, and bibliographies of other information sources (including literary criticism).

    Staff from the University of Mississippi Libraries compiled the text into an open volume in 2022, but did not revise the original work.

    Map of Mississippi Literary Landmarks

    University of Mississippi Libraries

    The original MWP site included a section called the "Mississippi Literary Landmarks", highlighting the six principal regions of Mississippi and the writers who lived and worked there.

    1. The Delta
    2. River Cities
    3. The Hill Country
    4. The Heartland
    5. The Piney Woods
    6. The Coast

    Several writers are listed more than once.

    For this incarnation, we have used the free version of Arc-GIS Online to build an interactive web map.

  • Timeline of Mississippi Writers by University of Mississippi Libraries

    Timeline of Mississippi Writers

    University of Mississippi Libraries

    The original MWP website included an extensive timeline of Mississippi history -- from the arrival of Hernando De Soto in northeast Mississippi in 1540 through the death of civil rights activist Rev. Will D. Campbell in 2013 -- and of Mississippi writers.

    For this project, we have focused primarily on writers and and their publications using Knight Lab's open source Timeline.js
