This is the kind of thing I think the digital humanities should be doing more of. Nick Montfort’s graduate course last semester created Des Imagistes, a hypertext version of Ezra Pound’s 1912 imagist anthology. There are some big highbrow Canonical authors included: William Carlos Williams, James Joyce, Amy Lowell.
User can click around between poems and authors to investigate the anthology. What I like the best about it is the straight forward nature of the Web Site, making traveling through the works very easy. This is the kind of Web Site that can be useful both in a New Media or English classroom and for showing the layman the basics of electronic literature. I am definitely going to bookmark this one for future reference.
Grand Text Auto has more information from Montfort himself.
