ANN ARBOR (AP) — A partnership is making the texts of the first printed editions of William Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton and other early English books available online.
The University of Michigan Library, the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Libraries and ProQuest have made public more than 25,000 manually transcribed texts from 1473 to 1700.
These include more than 5,600 from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
The release marks the completion of the first phase in the Early English Books Online-Text Creation Partnership.
An anticipated 40,000 additional texts are planned for release into the public domain by the end of the decade under the partnership.
