EB - Indonesian Literatures

Just found out that Encyclopedia Britannica has many articles online for free regarding texts / literatures. Just started trying to see what the quality of the articles are. Not that impressed based on very small samples.

 

Below is the link to the one on "Indonesian Literatures":
