Classics also refers to literature written in Western Europe prized by and extensivly studied by European and American intellectuals. Some examples are Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Don Quixote. Starting in the

1980s, classic books were attacked by various groups as

being from 'dead, white, western authors' and not representing

works from the groups 'pet' authors (excluding authors from

other areas - e.g., AsiaChina).

Most of the Classic works are freely available online and are

public domain.
