About Us

Classics Archive was revived by Crystal Yifei Liu, a former Google and Amazon executive who spent two decades learning how the internet really works.
She brought together four readers who never quite got over their first great book.
Eleanor Whitfield taught high school English for fifteen years and still believes every student can love a classic if you hand them the right edition.
Marcus Bell used to produce audiobooks and now spends his days comparing narrators.
Ivy Chen is a poet and playwright who sees the stage in every page.
Theodore Grant is a retired professor who reads essays the way others read thrillers.
Together, we don't just tell you what to read. We help you find the version you'll actually love.
