The Literature — Other Collection is the shelf for the books about books: literary criticism and biography, histories of national literatures, studies of forms and movements, and the writers who wrote about writing. These are the works that sit alongside the novels and poems rather than among them — and all are available as free EPUB downloads.
You will find T. S. Eliot on tradition, Gide on Wilde and Ransome on Wilde again, the first English histories of Brazilian and Slavic writing, Sterling Brown on race in American fiction, Lafcadio Hearn lecturing on English poetry in Tokyo, and Isaac Disraeli rummaging through the curiosities of literary history.
