Little Journeys is a series of biographical essays written by Elbert Hubbard. Each volume is thematic and contains several historical figures. A few titles include Little Journeys to Homes of Great Lovers, Good Men and Great, Famous Women, English Authors, American Statesmen, and more.
From my own personal collection, I have scanned portions of Little Journeys that are relevant to the Pre-Raphaelites so that you may read them. All files are in PDF form.
