| The Harvard Classics Full Collection |
The Harvard Classics Full Collection is a comprehensive anthology of classic literature compiled by Harvard University president Charles W. Eliot. Originally published in 1909, this collection aims to provide readers with a well-rounded education by including works from a wide range of genres and time periods.
The collection is divided into 51 volumes, each focusing on a different subject or theme. Some of the topics covered include history, philosophy, religion, science, poetry, drama, and fiction. The works included in the collection range from ancient texts such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey to more modern works like Shakespeare's plays and Darwin's On the Origin of Species.
One of the key features of The Harvard Classics is its emphasis on the importance of a liberal education. Eliot believed that a well-rounded education should include exposure to a variety of different disciplines and perspectives. As such, the collection includes works from a diverse array of authors and cultures, providing readers with a broad understanding of the world and its many complexities.
In addition to its educational value, The Harvard Classics is also a treasure trove of some of the greatest works of literature ever written. From the epic poems of ancient Greece to the philosophical treatises of the Enlightenment, this collection offers something for every reader to enjoy and learn from.
