I'm googling the name, but all I see are news articles. Anyone have a link to a collection of writing by Jan Morris?

The Pax Britannica trilogy is often sublime — an incredibly interesting approach to history. The audiobook versions are well-narrated and highly recommended.

      I was asking for something like an excerpt or an essay, accessible via web browser.

        She doesn’t come from a generation that published online.

        On the other hand, I have seen old articles show up on news websites, I assume they've been digitized from archives.

        I think these books are still under copyright. You need to buy or borrow copies. Which you can do starting from the list of books.

    Addendum: I'm not asking for entire PDFs or whatever, but at least short excerpts would be nice. I'm not currently in the position to buy anything, but I appreciate the suggestions.

      Some libraries let you "check out" ebooks virtually, with some sort of DRM thing I guess to prevent you from keeping it. The waiting lists tend to be absurd for common books but maybe it's worth trying?

Oxford is a good start for the beginner. Wikipedia has a bibliography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Morris_bibliography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Morris_bibliography Depending on where you live you could try your local library or the local university library.
