Standard Ebooks JSONL

This dataset is a JSONL conversion of the Hugging Face dataset Nelathan/standardebooks. The source dataset contains full-text public domain books sourced from Standard Ebooks.

Dataset Structure

The dataset has one split, train, stored as two JSONL shards:

data/train-00000-of-00002.jsonl - 617 rows
data/train-00001-of-00002.jsonl - 616 rows

Each line is a JSON object with the same fields as the source parquet dataset:

link: URL of the Standard Ebooks GitHub repository for the book
title: book title
author: author or authors
text: full extracted book text, formatted as Markdown
language: language code, such as en-GB

Source

The underlying texts come from public domain works maintained by Standard Ebooks.
