[2021 marks the 50th birthday of Project Gutenberg, the amazing web resource for full texts from across literary and cultural history. So this week I wanted to share a handful of the American literary works you can read in full on PG—add yours for a crowd-sourced weekend reading list, please!]
There are few
American novels I’ve written
about more often than Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton’s The
Squatter and the Don (1885)—and as much as I’d love to hear your
thoughts on those many pieces of mine, I’d be even more excited to hear that
you’ve had the chance to read and respond to this Mexican American historical
novel of 19th century California itself!
Last Project
Gutenberg reading tomorrow,
Ben
PS. What would
you add to our reading list?
