About Textpedia

What Textpedia is

Textpedia is a free library of essays, criticism, poetry and history whose copyright has expired. Each text is set for comfortable reading on screen and organised by author, work and chapter.

How texts are prepared

Texts are transcribed from early printed editions. Original spelling and punctuation are kept. Notes from the original editions appear in the margin beside the passage they belong to.

Citing Textpedia

Every work and chapter has a permanent address. Select any passage to copy a citation or a link to that passage.
