5 December 2002

The University of Pennsylvania has thoughtfully published a set of links to the full text of works by several well-known authors which are still in copyright in the US and Europe (thanks to recent lengthening of the time after the author’s death that works remain in copyright) but remain out of copyright in many other parts of the world.

Works linked include Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy (1925), The Great Gatsby, Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet, Finnegans Wake and Gone with the Wind…

Note – one of the texts here – Mein Kampf – may be forbidden in your country for different reasons, which you may or may not be more inclined to agree with. I am inclined to think texts like this should be publicly available (see also the Google controversy under Net Politics) but I can certainly sympathise with the feelings (if not the arguments) of those inclined to ban them.15 term fixed loanday pay loans acecash loan 1500financing home 125 on loansstudent 800 loansaaa loans studentalaska with personal credit loan badassitance land loan agriculturalloans alabama small businessincome loan tax 2007
