Having picked up about 2,000+ characters from Chinese, one of the fastest ways
for me to acquire a feel for Japanese grammar and word order, as well as
_some_ useful kanji readings, has been to study classical Chinese texts in
[kanbun](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanbun). Yet I constantly struggle with
the resources available to me. I know that there have been some multi-volume
collections of kanbun which ought to be in the public domain, like the 漢文叢書.
But I can't seem to find a good online resource. Ideally, I'd like to be able
to pick any classical Chinese text and study a kanbun reading of said text.

question
resources
Free, online resource for kanbun readings of particular texts?
There are many public domain books available online at the Diet library,
including a bunch of kanbun: <http://kindai.ndl.go.jp/index.html>

Your chances of finding a free online resource will generally be lower as the
work you're interested in gets more obscure. (Conversely, if you're going to
be reading Confucius or something I think you'd be much better off just
spending 500 yen for a paperback edition -- 岩波文庫 or 講談社学術文庫 or whatever.)

As Zhen Lin says, though, kanbun is not really a good way to get a good sense
for _Japanese_ grammar and word order, or vocabulary... The minimal reordering
into SOV (compared to SVO) and so on is present, it's true, but in general
kanbun has a very idiosyncratic style that differs in many respects from
standard modern Japanese. (Edit: But, let me state for the record so as not to
sound negative, I think that reading this kind of work can be very rewarding,
and it can certainly help with understanding "pure Japanese" works that are
nevertheless strongly influenced by kanbun -- which covers a lot of territory
up through, say, WWII).
