Description
The Literature Bank allows you to read and search the texts, download and print PDF files and to look at facsimile images of books and manuscripts that might otherwise be hard to find. For e-book readers and mobile phones there are also EPUB files available.
The Literature Bank also offers authoritative overviews and presentations of various authorships and disciplines. The aim is to develop the Literature Bank into a website that holds the key works in Swedish literature: new texts are generally added monthly.
The literature bank is also, in cooperation with various publishing projects, developing tools and infrastructure for publishers who work with or plan to start publishing various works and authors. Primarily the Literature Bank is cooperating with the Selma Lagerlöf Archive and with the publishing of the sermons of Esaias Tegnér.
