How to Cite and Credit Work in This Anthology
Victorian Poetry and Poetics is a continuously developed digital scholarly anthology and edition. Because the project is revised over time, citations work at two levels: the anthology as a whole and individual pages within it.
Citing the Anthology as a Whole
To cite the anthology as a whole, use the general editor, anthology title, publisher, and the most recent overall revision year for the project. Because the anthology is continuously updated, you may also include an access date.
The most recent overall revision year for the anthology is listed on the book homepage.
Example:
Hart, Monica Smith, editor. Victorian Poetry and Poetics. Texas A&M University System Open Digital Publishing, 2026.
Citing Individual Pages
To cite a specific page, use the author of the work or section being cited, the page title, the anthology title, the editor (when applicable), the publisher, and the year of the most recent substantial revision of that page. All of this information is available at the bottom of each page. See Page Credits below for more information.
Example (poem page):
Browning, Robert. “My Last Duchess.” Victorian Poetry and Poetics, edited by Monica Smith Hart, Texas A&M University System Open Digital Publishing, 2025.
Example (editorial or biographical page):
Hart, Monica Smith. “Felicia Hemans (1793–1835).” Victorian Poetry and Poetics. Texas A&M University System Open Digital Publishing, 2026.
Example (contributed editorial work, introductions or annotations):
Meyer, Claire. “Editorial Introduction.” ‘Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came’.” Victorian Poetry and Poetics, edited by Monica Smith Hart, Texas A&M University System Open Digital Publishing, 2025.
Page Credits
Each page in the anthology will include a standard credit and citation box at the bottom of the page. The editors are at work creating this editorial apparatus during the Spring 2026 semester. That box should contain:

Dates and Revisions
This anthology uses page-level dating for individual page citations. The year listed on a page reflects the most recent substantial revision of that specific page, not a single publication date for the anthology as a whole. Because the anthology is continuously developed, different pages may carry different years.
Minor corrections, formatting cleanup, and typo fixes do not normally change a page’s year. Substantial revisions—such as new editorial content, new bibliographic or contextual materials, or major updates to page structure—do change the page’s dating.
