Due to pandemic constraints, a full bibliography wasn't ultimately included in the printed pages of Sister Novelists. (All manuscript sources used are included in the notes in the back of the book, along with selected printed sources.) What follows here is a selected list of newly digitized--and freely available—Porter manuscript sources; selected modern editions; selected criticism on the Porters; and selected works consulted in the writing of Sister Novelists. These sources are provided here for those who like to follow research tracks more closely or who may seek to do further research of their own on the Porter sisters, women's writing, or literature and culture of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
