TXT

Folger Digital Texts provides .txt format files for projects and applications where simplicity and/or stability is the highest priority. These ASCII 7-encoded files are the most likely to render properly in the widest number of applications and the least likely to present conversion errors when being incorporated into text analysis tools. However, they also lack formatting, critical editing marks, and special characters. It is important to note that because special characters are not present, accents on words will be missing, which will change the meter of those lines. It is recommended that you use one of the other formats offered via Folger Digital Texts unless using a completely unadorned text is a priority. Use of this content is protected under our Terms of Use.

To access .txt files, make your selection from the list. Your browser will open the file in a new window, at which point you may either copy and paste the content, or select "File/Save" from your browser menu to save the file on your computer.
