| Summary | "One Hundred Books Famous in English Literature" by Grolier Club is a scholarly collection detailing noteworthy works in English literature printed in the early 20th century. This anthology is an illustrated compilation that showcases a selection of one hundred significant English literary titles along with facsimiles of their title pages. It acts as a guide, celebrating the enduring impact of these works and their authors on the landscape of English literature. The opening of this compilation presents several elements that set the tone for the work, including a foreword by George E. Woodberry, which emphasizes the enduring nature of literature and its connection to the identity of a nation. The introduction suggests that literature should reflect a collective cultural consciousness rather than individualistic expression, presenting a vision of English literature as both a historical record and a vibrant dialogue across time. The initial pages also include details about the printing of the work itself and a remarkable, well-structured list of the books included in the anthology, hinting at the depth and variety of literary voices that will be explored throughout.
