Free Classics from B&N (nook)

Barnes and Noble is continuing their free Classics in the B&N Free Library this week, with a new set of free classics, ten of which have not be offered for free previously. This weeks theme is Tearjerkers:

1. Maggie by Stephen Crane
2. Sentimental Education by Gustave Flaubert
3. Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser
4. Wings of the Dove by Henry James
5. Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte
6. The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth Gaskell
7. Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
8. Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
9. Les Miserables (abridged) by Victor Hugo
10. Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson
11. This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald
12. Ethan Frome & Selected Stories by Edith Wharton

These editions are not exactly the same as you would find at Gutenberg; Barnes and Noble Classic Series editions generally have been more carefully proofread and have introductions and scholarly notes inserted in the beginning to aid in understanding the text. If you are building a summer reading list for a student, stocking up for lit classes in college or just want to revisit the classics, these are a great (free) resource.These are DRM'd epubs, though, so will only be readable on a nook or one of the B&N reader apps.
