Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name 'Harvard Classics,' this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard University’s longest-serving president. Also known as 'Dr. Eliot’s Five Foot Shelf,' it represented Eliot’s belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf.Volume V features two collections from American poet and philosopher RALPH WALDO EMERSON (1803-1882): Essays-on such topics as 'The American Scholar,' 'Self-Reliance,' 'Friendship,' 'Heroism,' and more-and English Traits, in which he examines the British character as gathered from his travels in England.
