This Website from the University of Oregon offers an alphabetically indexed collection of electronic editions of works printed in English from 1477 to 1799. Of course, this is not a comprehensive collection, but it is a substantial one, including all of the plays of Shakespeare, the poetry of Spenser, prose and poetry of John Milton, the major writings of Thomas Browne, and works by Hobbes, Defoe, Gascoigne, Caxton, Bacon, Rachel Speght, and Jonathan Swift, just to name a few. Some editions include links to annotations. All have been prepared by reputable scholars in the field.
