Among the Pics are:

2)Château de Monte-Cristo
3)Lewis Carroll's Richmond School, Yorkshire
4)Charles Dickens' House
5)Henry James' Lamb House, Rye
6)Longfellow's Craigie House
7)Irving's house

I tried to put some numbers near the pics, but it's useless: they are shifting according to their wish!(( but
*By pointing the cursor on each picture, you may see the name of a person, whom this particular image is concerned with!*

Lena, it's a very interesting project you are working on. Is that you AmLit lecture course project? What exactly is its title? How are you supposed to present it - as a blog, or a paper?

I still remember your presentation on Walt Whitman's Manhattan. It was very impressive. Do you feel like uploading it here, too?

Looks like you like virtual traveling. How about traveling (travelling is British) in real life? Are you a seasoned traveler?

Hmm... What project do you mean, Anna Vladimirovna? This site I found (it's not my project) and posted only for pleasure and broadening one's mind)
About W.W. presentation - I'll think about it)
yes, I like eNet traveling, but the only trouble is that it always swallows/absorbs me and I forget about the time and other things I'm supposed to do((
yes, I like traveling in real life too! Well, I can't say that I'm a "seasoned" traveller)) I've been to several countries, but there are much more of them which are still scheduled for future (it's better to say for life) Sice childhood I was taken to different journeys. From the one hand it's great, but from the other one... In general, I remember that I liked them all very much, but... I was so young that if there are no photos, it would be all that I remember)) *confused* But, fortunately, there are photos, a lot of, which help me to recollect and not to forget those marvellous impressions)
