How to Cite this Site | Acknowledgments
The purpose of this web site is to encourage research on the work of Solomon, who until recently was still an obscure artist known only to those interested in Pre-Raphaelitism. Over the past twenty-five years increased interest in the Pre-Raphaelites and Aesthetes, Judaic Studies, and Gender/Gay/Queer Studies has generated a resurgence of information on Solomon and his work. It seems that more criticism has been published about him in the past twenty years than had been published in the fifty years prior.
This web site provides the researcher with a variety of information. As of the initial date of this project, this web site holds information on primary and secondary source material on Solomon. The information presented here comes from my annotated bibliography on Solomon published in The Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies.
Some of the citations here include annotations and/or the full-text of the original source document. The citations are written in MLA format and are arranged by publication date and then alphabetically by author. In cases where the specific date of a publication could not be determined, then entries for that year revert to alphabetical arrangement. Over time this web site will continuously be updated and will eventually include digital images of works by Solomon. If you know of new information that has been published on Simeon Solomon but has not been included here, please contact me. I can best be reached by email at ssresearcharchive @ gmail . com [type it without the spaces; I'm trying to cut back on spam].

Until the September 1, 2007 update, I had provided a citation guide using the MLA format. However, as resources on the Internet and World Wide Web have continued to develop, each of the various style guides (MLA, Turabian, APA, etc.) have all evolved.
The information below, based on an older edition of MLA, is an example of what should be captured when citing the entire web site or a specific page. This includes not only the author and title, but also the URL and date visited. Please consult the most up-to-date edition of the style guide you are required to use to ensure that you are citing correctly the Simeon Solomon Research Archive.

WEB SITE STATISTICS & HISTORY
Statistics (as of September 4, 2007)
New sources were annotated and added, including links to web sites on Solomon's colleagues and friends. The color of the background was changed from green to beige/peach because some people complained that it was difficult to read.
