Quotes are easily fixed by Calibre and other tools. Italics needs you to have fancy OCR from Archive Org scan, or DIY.

I thought I'd seen Gutenberg texts with Italics, though not checked that one. Usually I download mobi + images (if there are any) from Gutenberg and convert in Calibre to epub with automatic smart quotes, 1.4em 1st line in paragraph indent and remove spaces between paragraphs. Sometimes auto fully justify. Occasionally I edit the epub.
Usually the only worthwhile Archive Org is the sacn/PDF. The epub/mobi are "simple OCR", hence full of gibberish. I can do better than that with Tesseract on Linux and my 2002 scanner.
