Based on Dr. Eliot's “reading guide” for The Harvard Classics, a complete chapter of reading material is included for each day of the year (even February 29th, in case you are reading during a Leap Year): "These selections assigned for each day in the year as you will see, are introduced by comments on the author, the subjects or the chief characters. They will serve to introduce you in the most pleasant manner possible to the Harvard Classics. They will enable you to browse enjoyably among the world’s immortal writings with entertainment and stimulation in endless variety.." Each reading is framed by an introduction, a context in which the text can be read and understood, often with insightful information about the author, it's wider history, or why that particular selection is appropriate reading for that day.

Book Synopsis The Harvard Book by : William Bentinck-Smith
Download or read book The Harvard Book written by William Bentinck-Smith and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Harvard can be said to have a literature all its own, then few universities can equal it in scope. Here lies the reason for this anthology--a collection of what Harvard men (teachers, students, graduates) have written about Harvard in the more than three centuries of its history. The emphasis is upon entertainment, upon readability; and the selections have been arranged to show something of the many variations of Harvard life. For all Harvard men--and that part of the general public which is interested in American college life--here is a rich treasury. In such a Harvard collection one may expect to find the giants of Harvard's last 75 years, Eliot, Lowell, and Conant, attempting a definition of what Harvard means. But there are many other familiar names - Henry Dunster, Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, Henry Adams, Charles M. Flandrau, William and Henry James, Owen Wister, Thomas Wolfe, John P. Marquaud. Here is Mistress Eaton's confession about the bad fish served to the wretched students of Harvard's early years; here too is President Holyoke's account of the burning of Harvard Hall; a student's description of his trip to Portsmouth with that aged and Johnsonian character, Tutor Henry Flynt; Cleveland Amory's retelling of the murder of Dr. George Parkman; Mayor Quiney's story of what happened in Cambridge when Andrew Jackson came to get an honorary degree; Alistair Cooke's commentary on the great Harvard-Yale cricket match of 1951. There are many sorts of Harvard men in this book--popular fellows like Hammersmith, snobs like Bertie and Billy, the sensitive and the lonely like Edwin Arlington Robinson and Thomas Wolfe, and independent thinkers like John Reed. Teachers and pupils, scholars and sports, heroes and rogues pass across the Harvard stage through the struggles and the tragedies to the moments of triumph like the Bicentennial or the visit of Winston Churchill. And speaking of visits, there are the visitors too--the first impressions of Harvard set down by an assortment of travelers as various as Dickens, Trollope, Rupert Brooke, Harriet Martineau, and Francisco de Miranda, the "precursor of Latin American independence." For the Harvard addict this volume is indispensable. For the general reader it is the sort of book that goes with a good living-room fire or the blissful moments of early to bed.

Book Synopsis Lectures on the Harvard Classics (Classic Reprint) by : William Allan Neilson
Download or read book Lectures on the Harvard Classics (Classic Reprint) written by William Allan Neilson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Harvard Classics Classics is already prefaced by a short introduction containing the main events in the life of the author, the circumstances under which the hook was written, and some indication of its importance in its own department of thought. Those introductions should be regarded as supplementary to these lectures, giving the more detailed facts, while the lectures will aim to present such larger considerations as may place the reader in the intellectual attitude most advantageous for the profitable study of the works themselves. The lectures will be written by a large staff of scholars drawn from the Faculty of Harvard University, and all of them specialists in the departments with which they deal. While all will be guided by the general purposes of the Course as here set forth, no attempt will be made to induce them to conform to a single rigid scheme of treatment. Through this freedom the student will derive the benefit of the stimulus arising from a large variety of methods and points of view, and will receive as much as the printed page permits of that personal quality which is so valuable an element in the best teaching. By these means it is hoped that the fortunate possessors of The Harvard Classics may be enabled to gain the greatest possible advantage from an educational opportunity such as has never before been presented in a form so generally accessible. As a further aid to readers in connection with the Lectures on Dr. Eliot's Five-foot Shelf of Books, a Consulting Service Bureau has been established to furnish by mail upon request authoritative information and advice regarding any subject covered in the Lecture Courses.

Book Synopsis SINCERITY AND AUTHENTICITY by : Lionel TRILLING
Download or read book SINCERITY AND AUTHENTICITY written by Lionel TRILLING and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Now and then,” writes Lionel Trilling, “it is possible to observe the moral life in process of revising itself.” In this new book he is concerned with such a mutation: the process by which the arduous enterprise of sincerity, of being true to one’s self, came to occupy a place of supreme importance in the moral life—and the further shift which finds that place now usurped by the darker and still more strenuous modern ideal of authenticity. Instances range over the whole of Western literature and thought, from Shakespeare to Hegel to Sartre, from Robespierre to R.D. Laing, suggesting the contradictions and ironies to which the ideals of sincerity and authenticity give rise, most especially in contemporary life. Lucid, and brilliantly framed, its view of cultural history will give Sincerity and Authenticity an important place among the works of this distinguished critic.
