More about the book
This remarkable 51-volume collection features essential writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology, curated by Charles William Eliot, the longest-serving president of Harvard University. Known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it embodies Eliot's vision that a comprehensive liberal education can be achieved through a carefully selected anthology of significant works, all fitting within a five-foot bookshelf. Originally published between 1909 and 1917, it remains a testament to the enduring value of classic literature.
