Note: in March 2007 an attentive contributor wrote to point out that our citation form differs from that used by the MLA, which is correct, and to ask if Brown University should be added as the sponsoring institution. No. Brown University has never sponsored or supported the site, funded the development of its almost 60,000 documents, or their maintenance online, although for a few short years in the late 1990s the wonderful people at the Scholarly Technology Group hosted it on their server.
