A Library of the World's Best Literature - Ancient and Modern - Vol. IV (Forty-Five Volumes); Bancroft - Birrell

Renowned for his warm and intimate writing style, Charles Dudley Warner's final work serves as a comprehensive survey of global literature, blending classic and modern texts. As a prolific essayist and novelist, Warner's influence on fellow writers is significant. This grand compilation reflects his editorial prowess and literary insight, suggesting that had his friend Mark Twain created it, it would still be celebrated as a monumental achievement in literature.
