This catalog contains around 2,000 entries, mostly on gopher servers. Just enter your query and read on. Shakespeare, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and more await.

This site offers classic literature works in a chapter-a-day format. If you've gotta read Moby Dick, read it online a chapter a day! Neat!

An extensive collection of public domain French literature, in French.

Bantam Doubleday Dell offers visits with their authors, excerpts from books, a Young Readers section complete with Teacher's Resource Center, a Daily Puzzle, and other attractions.

This online literary magazine features hypertext writings, a literary discussion group, and more. It takes great advantage of the Web's technology while providing content that would be compelling in hard copy as well, although the loss of linking would be regrettable.

The main menu lists the members of King Aurthur's Court. Click on them to get a list of texts about them (some are available to read online) and images. It's a really neat site, but be warned: it loads very slowly and you might even get a "too busy" response.

Read a variety of children's stories, look at colorful illustrations, listen to music, and more. And you can have your own story published on Candlelight or display your artwork in the Candlight Gallery.

This site is a collection of reviews of children's books and ways to use them in the classroom. You can look them up by title, author, type, or age, and browse them in catagories such as curriculum area, subject, and theme.

This site contains a large collection of works by the Latin poet Catullus, available here in Latin, in English, and (many of them) in Dutch. There are also links to related Greek and Latin sites, briefly annotated.

Read a variety of short stories collected by Gary Lindquist, and participate in a short story chat forum.

Full text of the Bard's plays, online, with an accompanying dictionary that lets you look up Elizabethan words on-site. View plays either in continuous text or through a series of hypertext links.

An online zine dedicated to "prosaics and poetics for a wired world," this site features poetry and prose.

None

While you must be able to use Java to get anything out of this site, it's a delightful implementation if you do. Take individual words on the screen from a large assortment and drag and drop to create your own online poetry. No way to save your work, which is the only real disadvantage we can see. It didn't crash our browser, either.

This well known writer's handbook has been reproduced online and is available as part of Project Bartleby.

Are you frightened by the Bogeyman? Wonder what a Yite is? Learn about these and many others on the website of the Encyclopedia Mythica, which offers myths, folklore, and cryptozoology of different cultures, including Chinese, Haitian, Norse, and Welsh.

Mercer College's Great Books Program is here summarized and each course's required reading listed. There are also links to related fulltext works on the web.
