In Praise of Bartleby

“Ah, Bartleby!  Ah, humanity!”
- Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street by Herman Melville

Hardly a new presence on the web, Bartleby.com has been a well-known resource for readers and writers for nearly a decade now. But for those not familiar with it, it’s a eye-popping treasure of resources and texts, and thus certainly worth a post.

From reference resources like dictionaries, encyclopedias, religious texts, quotations and writing guides to a broad selection of verse, non-fiction and fiction works, Bartleby.com is both an ideal destination for quick and dirty research and a place to lose oneself in the great works of the ages.
