The concluding line of Herman Melville’s classic American short story, Bartleby, the Scrivener, reads: “Ah Bartleby, Ah Humanity!”
And so, Bartleby.com, after the humble character of its namesake scrivener, or copyist, publishes the classics of literature, nonfiction, and reference free of charge. Bartleby.com began as a personal research experiment in 1993 and within one year published the first classic book on the Web (Whitman’s Leaves of Grass). Use Bartleby.com to find a lost favorite – or to help your kids discover whole new worlds in literature!
