| The
Ambrose Bierce Project is an online forum and resource
for the study of Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842-1914?), the American
soldier, topographer, journalist, and writer. Bierce is an important, if underappreciated, presence in American literary history. He is today celebrated especially for his considerable powers as a satirist, and for his mastery of the short story genre. His incomparable writing has led many scholars to rate Bierce among America's finest prose talents. Scope The ABP strives to bring together Bierce scholars and students from around the globe. Here participants and contributors will exchange ideas, weigh literary analyses, and review new works of scholarship. Reflecting the dynamic career of Bierce, the project aims to be interdisciplinary in nature; it will take full advantage of the pictorial and textual advantages of an online environment in order to explore the constellation of historical, cultural, and literary phenomena touching Bierce’s life and career. Original Scholarship The ABP also promotes -- and provides a home for -- original writing on the subjects of Bierce, his contemporaries, and American culture of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. ABP referees review all submissions, furthering the project’s commitment to publishing peer-reviewed online scholarship. |
