Cloth, small 8vo, 384 pp. "When first published in 1943, An English Library was described by Edmund Blunden as 'a masterly list of standard reading'.An English Library is a bookman's guide to the classics of English Literature, from Chaucer to the twentieth century, and to the great standard books which are part of the essential reading of every educated adult. No living writers are included, but the bibliographical survey has been extended to the late Dr G. M. Trevelyan, to Dylan Thomas, and to many other modern authors recently dead. There are ten main groups in creative literature, from Autobiography to Travel and Adventure and a final section devoted to suggestions for A Bookman's Reference Library. Each section is preceded by a short descriptive essay addressed to Dr. Johnson's 'common reader'." - from the blurb. Good in dustwrapper. Seller Inventory # ABE-07815
