Hardcover. Condition: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [4],383, [1] pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. This is the 17th volume of the set of 51. With Introduction, Notes, and Illustrations. Includes 83 Aesop's Fables, 41 Grimm's Tales, and 20 from Andersen. In this book, the fables have been retold in simple la…nguage by Joseph Jacobs. He has chosen those examples that have become most universally popular, and at the same time has given representatives from all the main sources. A glance at the titles will be sufficient to show to what an extraordinary extent these simple stories have become the common property of all people. Joseph Jacobs (29 August 1854 - 30 January 1916) was a folklorist, translator, literary critic, social scientist, historian and writer of English literature who became a notable collector of English folklore. Jacobs was born in Sydney to a Jewish family. His work went on to popularize some of the world's best known versions of English fairy tales including "Jack and the Beanstalk", "Goldilocks and the three bears", "The Three Little Pigs", "Jack the Giant Killer" and "The History of Tom Thumb". He published his English fairy tale collections: English Fairy Tales in 1890 and More English Fairy Tales in 1893 but also went on after and in between both books to publish fairy tales collected from Europe as well as Jewish, Celtic and Indian fairytales which made him one of the most popular writers of fairytales for the English language. Jacobs was also an editor for journals and books on the subject of folklore which included editing the Fables of Bidpai and the Fables of Aesop, as well as articles on the migration of Jewish folklore. Charles William Eliot (March 20, 1834 - August 22, 1926) was an American academic who was selected as Harvard's president in 1869. He transformed the college into the pre-eminent American university. Eliot served until 1909, the longest term as president in the university's history. The Harvard Universal Classics, originally known as Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf, is a 51-volume anthology of classic works from world literature compiled and edited by Harvard University president Charles W. Eliot and first published in 1909. Eliot had stated in speeches that the elements of a liberal education could be obtained by spending 15 minutes a day reading from a collection of books that could fit on a five-foot shelf. The publisher P. F. Collier and Son saw an opportunity and challenged Eliot to make good on this statement by selecting an appropriate collection of works, and the Harvard Classics was the result. Eliot worked for one year with William A. Neilson, a professor of English; Eliot determined the works to be included and Neilson selected the specific editions and wrote introductory notes. Each volume had 400-450 pages, and the included texts are "so far as possible, entire works or complete segments of the world's written legacies." The collection was widely advertised by Collier and Son, in Collier's and elsewhere, with great success.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. [4], 347, [5] pages. Footnotes. Decorative cover. Some cover wear. Includes Introductory Note, Footnotes, and Illustrations. The "Iliad" and the "Odyssey" stand at the head of the literature of Greece and of the epic poetry of the world; and their influence in the country of their origin and throughou…t the European peoples has been commensurate with their artistic greatness. Historically, they give the earliest picture of Aryan civilization, describing a period of culture of which we should otherwise know almost nothing. Artistically, in spite of their early date, they are the product of a mature art, expressing with supreme nobility and grace, permanent and varied yet simple types of human nature, in a language unsurpassed for its combination of directness, simplicity, and beauty. Samuel Henry Butcher DCL LLD FRSE FBA (16 April 1850 - 29 December 1910) was an Anglo-Irish classical scholar and politician. He was one of the two Members of Parliament for Cambridge University, between 1906 and his death, representing the Unionist Party. He was President of the British Academy, 1909-1910. His many publications included, in collaboration with Andrew Lang, a prose translation of Homer's Odyssey. Andrew Lang FBA (31 March 1844 - 20 July 1912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St. Andrews are named after him. His other works include Homer and the Study of Greek, Homer and the Epic, and Homer and his Age.
