One of the greatest online literary resources in recent years, “Crash Course Literature” was created by a fantastic animation team and the acclaimed YA novelist John Green, author of “The Fault in Our Stars.” The site’s videos mostly cover individual works and give students an in-depth understanding of the classics, from “Romeo and Juliet” to “The Great Gatsby.”

While many of the works covered are part of high school curricula, there is also a selection of videos on how and why we read, as well as poetry lessons. Excellent for advanced students and literature lovers of all ages.
