Project Gutenberg
Description
Project Gutenberg is an online collection of over 75,000 digitized books available as plain text. We use all books that are 1) English and 2) marked as in the Public Domain according to the provided metadata. Additionally, we include any books that are part of the PG19 dataset, which only includes books that are over 100 years old. Minimal preprocessing is applied to remove the Project Gutenberg header and footers, but many scanned books include preamble information about who digitized them.

License Issues
While we aim to produce datasets with completely accurate licensing information, license laundering and inaccurate metadata can cause us to erroneously assign the incorrect license to some documents (for further discussion of this limitation, please see our paper). If you believe you have found an instance of incorrect licensing in this dataset, please start a discussion on this repository.

This is the "filtered" version of the Project Gutenberg dataset. If you are looking for the raw version, you can find it here.
