Sinopsis

Author names not noted above: Oliver Goldsmith, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Robert Browning, and Lord Byron.Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name 'Harvard Classics,' this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard University?s longest-serving president. Also known as 'Dr. Eliot?s Five Foot Shelf,' it represented Eliot?s belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf.Volume XVIII features six of the greatest plays of 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century England writers:? All for Love, the Shakespearean tragedy by JOHN DRYDEN (1631-1700)? The School for Scandal, the comedy of manners by RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN (1751-1816)? She Stoops to Conquer, the satire by OLIVER GOLDSMITH (1730-1774)? The Cenci, the controversial verse drama by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY (1792-1822)? A Blot in the ?Scutcheon, the tragedy by ROBERT BROWNING (1812-1889)? Manfred, the supernatural drama by LORD BYRON (1788-1824)
