    Author List

    Why aren't there forums for Evelyn Waugh or Vladimir Nabokov? I haven't even heard of some of the authors there.

    But the novels are in the public domain, aren't they? And there's no places to discuss any other playwright apart from Shakey

    Public Domain is Pre 1923, so anything published after 1923 is copyrighted and cant be legally published to the site. therefore the general Literature section is there to accomodate all literature published post 1923 and their authors. Evelyn Waugh is post 1923 as is Nabokov.
    reason why there are sub forums for authors like shakepeare is to accomodate threads related to the texts avilable on Online- Literature.com
