For general techniques and approaches to working with text in a tidy manner, we recommend the Text Mining with R book by Julia Silge and David Robinson.

Julia Silge have her own youtube channel where she, among other things, do text analysis. You will learn a lot by listening to her thoughts while she code.

Text can be found everywhere. Rather than scraping text yourself, you can find R-packages containing text.

janeaustenr contains the text of Jane Austens novels. Get it by running install.packages("janeaustenr")

The sherlock package contains the complete Sherlock Holmes collection by Arthur Conan Doyle. It must be installed from github, running devtools::install_github("EmilHvitfeldt/sherlock").
