Austen works included in Google venture
The London Times reports works by Jane Austen will be among those available on-line through Google’s agreement with five major libraries. Among those libraries is Oxford University’s Bodleian.
Each library has reached its own deal with Google. The Bodleian is making available nearly all its uncopyrighted works published in the 19th century, or up to 1.5 million of its eight million titles. It is a vast collection of fictional, art, political, and travel writings, including works by Dickens, Byron and Jane Austen.
