A Library of the World's Best Literature - Ancient and Modern - Vol.XLIII (Forty-Five Volumes); Dictionary of Authors (K-Z)

Renowned for his warm and intimate writing style, Charles Dudley Warner's final work is a comprehensive survey of global literature, blending classic and modern texts. As an accomplished essayist, novelist, and journalist, Warner's influence extended to many writers of his time. This ambitious compilation reflects his editorial prowess and literary insight, suggesting that if it had been compiled by his friend Mark Twain, it would still be celebrated as a monumental achievement in literature today.
