I guess the easiest thing to do is to look at my description on English Wikipedia ...
I'm generally following my wikisquirrel nature and working on texts in a random manner. A few, like the Bouligny pieces, are connected to my editing on Wikipedia. Others are jumping from a mention in one text to another text to another; for example, the quoting of a R.S. Chilton poem in M.E.P. Bouligny's book about W.W. Corcoran led me to Chilton's Poems, which led me to The Knickerbocker Gallery and The Knickerbocker. Similarly, a mention of Skinner in Dunbar's poem "Black Samson of Brandywine" led me to his Myths & Legends series.
Most of these (predominately) 19th century works have problematic elements in regards to race, ethnicity, gender, etc., but those flaws help illustrate the times in which they were written and the nature of society: both how much it has changed since then and, in many cases, how unfortunately little we've changed.
