Book Description
The Harvard Classics in 365 Days aims to provide a whirlwind tour of classic literature. By reading for just 15 minutes a day throughout the year, you can discover text from “twelve main divisions of knowledge” including History, Poetry, Natural Science, Philosophy, Biography, Prose Fiction, Criticism and the Essay, Education, Political Science, Drama, Voyages and Travel and Religion. 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 Description
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.
