Literary Taste: How to Form It eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 93 pages of information about Literary Taste.

The principal omission from the above list is The Paston Letters, which I should probably have included had the enterprise of publishers been sufficient to put an edition on the market at a cheap price.  Other omissions include the works of Caxton and Wyclif, and such books as Camden’s Britannia, Ascham’s Schoolmaster, and Fuller’s Worthies, whose lack of first-rate value as literature is not adequately compensated by their historical interest.  As to the Bible, in the first place it is a translation, and in the second I assume that you already possess a copy.
