On top of the early Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records, classic literary works written by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Bernard Shaw and Eugene O’Neill, together with masterpieces written by several Nobel laureates can all be found in this database. It also collects numerous works written by contemporary African Americans and Britons. This comprehensive database with this rare width and depth hence can serve as one of the best online resources for any English and American literature research and teaching.
