4.1 digital works and authors
CD-ROMs
You can now access many literary works either online or in CD-ROM, often accessible in libraries. The digitization of literature can be a great research tool as it will allow you to do specific searches in the text. For links to online literature, check our section on virtual libraries. There, you will find many of the literary works you are studying available online. To list them all individually on this page would be an infinite task. We have therefore limited our authors' page to a few examples.
