This short post links to an open textbook consisting of 86 chapters that "cover 1,000 years of British literature featuring primary source texts commonly assigned for survey courses of British Literature." To be sure, most of the authors' contributions are short introductory texts to the readings from that literature, but still, there's a lot of them. What's most interesting is that the digital textbook "was developed through an 'open pedagogy' approach with over 100 Austin Community College students contributing footnotes, introductory chapters, digital learning objects, and test bank questions with a student audience in mind." It's interesting that the text stops with Samuel Johnson, and not Boswell's Life of Johnson, but I guess that would have been too long a book.
