Elizabethan Drama II

The collection features 51 volumes of essential writings spanning literature, philosophy, history, and mythology, curated by Charles William Eliot, who aimed to provide a foundation for liberal education. Known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it reflects his belief that significant knowledge can be acquired through a carefully selected anthology that occupies just five feet of shelf space. Originally published between 1909 and 1917, this set remains a monumental resource for readers seeking a comprehensive literary education.
