For religious & spiritual works, do check out the Internet Sacred Text Archive: http://www.sacred-texts.com/

For public-domain literature, try Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/ . This exists in many languages and countries, none of which seem to be interlinked for some silly reason You'll just have to search around for them.

Google Books which one of your titles links to: http://books.google.com/ . Haven't been very impressed with it so far, some full titles though, haven't given it that much of a try.
