Etexts are full online versions of works of classic literature, hosted here at LiteratureClassics.com. Etexts are sourced from the public domain, and so you will generally find only texts which are no longer under copyright. The Classics Network is responsible for the scanning and proofreading of some of these texts; most are from other public domain repositories of online texts. We offer a number of unique features, including line and paragraph numbers (for selected texts only), downloadable zip packages of etexts, and an etext reader which allows for page-by-page seamless online and offline reading. All of these features are available from the etext pages themselves: choose an etext to continue.

Extracts from all of the etexts can also be delivered to you by email on a regular basis through our Classics Digests program.
