Elizabethan Drama I

The collection features 51 volumes of essential writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology, curated by Charles William Eliot, Harvard's longest-serving president. Known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it reflects Eliot's vision that a comprehensive liberal education could be achieved through a carefully selected anthology that occupies just five feet of shelf space. This monumental set, originally published between 1909 and 1917, serves as a foundational resource for readers seeking to explore the greatest works of Western thought and culture.
