93 classic romance books · free in PDF & EPUB

Courtship, obstacles, and hearts that won't behave — from Austen's comedies of manners to the storm-lit moors of the Brontës. Every romance novel here is in the public domain: download it free in PDF or EPUB, or read it online, no sign-up needed.

Pride and Prejudice is still the blueprint, and still the wittiest. Jane Eyre adds gothic shadow and a heroine with spine; Wuthering Heights is love at its most feral. Short on time? First Love by Turgenev is a bittersweet afternoon.
