Harvard Classics question

ficbot · 11-11-2012, 05:00 PM

Just wondering if anyone has or knows of a list which sorts the Harvard Classics by publication date. I really want to read them in chronological order, and will try to create such a list if none is available, but with so many volumes to sort through, it would save me a lot of time if one was out there already. Google turned up nothing so far...

I believe we carry all of those here in our Library.

Yes there is - in the MR Wiki: http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Harvard_Classics

That list doesn't sort by publication date though. I don't want a list of all the volumes in volume order---I have that already. I want a list of all the works in the series sorted by publication date so you can read them chronologically.

ETA: I see how I can edit it. Thanks!

I don't know the publication date, but I have the entire Five-Foot Shelf in my room. Mom wanted to throw them away, but I figure if worst comes to wurts they might be a passable liberal arts education if the schools try to do away with it.

Don __________________ “How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp 1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example: “Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked. “Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed. The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.
