My Bibliography of Literary Theory, Criticism and Philology is the most significant among the external links in the Wikipedia article on Philology. The English language Wikipedia, I mean. Which deserves celebration, Wikipedia being our closest approach so far to the World Brain devised by H. G. Wells.

As for ourselves, we're still sticking to the classical approach and definition of the discipline...
PHILOLOGY, the generally accepted comprehensive name for the study of the word (Gr. λόγος), or languages; it designates that branch of knowledge which deals with human speech, and with all that speech discloses as to the nature and history of man. Philology has two principal divisions, corresponding to the two uses of “word” or “speech,” as signifying either what is said or the language in which it is said, as either the thought expressed—which, when recorded, takes the form of literature—or the instrumentality of its expression: these divisions are the literary and the linguistic.
