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.

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

  • title: book title
  • author: author or authors
  • text: full extracted book text, formatted as Markdown
