A private library,
made navigable.
This is a dependency-free collection of local HTML files generated from seven supplied plain-text transcriptions.
What is included
Every literary chapter of all seven novels is rendered in the reading room. Each paragraph has a stable local anchor. The encyclopedia contains 111 entries, and exact-name occurrences create citations back into those anchored paragraphs.
How links work
Within each chapter, the first substantial mention of an encyclopedia subject is linked with a quiet dotted underline. The chapter rail lists those notes. In the other direction, encyclopedia source panels link to up to two representative passages in every chapter where the subject’s name or a known alias appears.
Text and rights
The supplied files identify themselves as Project Gutenberg Canada ebooks and state that the works are in the Canadian public domain. Their notices also advise readers outside Canada to check the copyright law of their country. This local edition preserves the literary wording while adding HTML structure and navigation.
Extending the archive
Book metadata lives in src/data/books.js; encyclopedia records live in src/data/articles.js; the book-grounded historical chronology lives in src/data/timeline.js. Run node build.js after adding an entry. The generator resolves timeline passages, discovers citations and text links, and updates categories, counts, and search records automatically.
