Description
KNIGHT, CHARLES London: Frederick Warne and Co, 1868. n. The son of a Windsor publisher who kept a bookshop, Charles Knight (1791-1873) was an author, journalist, and publisher of books and periodicals. He edited several "Half-Hours" books in addition to the present set, including one on English history and another featuring the "Best Letter Writers." Many of his works were designed to make history and the classics more available to the "plain Englishman" who did not have the benefit of a public school education. "Best Authors" is divided into 365 chapters designed to give the reader an overview of great literature in half-hour chunks over the course of a year. Each chapter contains an excerpt from a famous work, along with Knight's brief biographical and critical notes. He began work on "Best Authors" in 1847, revising and adding to it over a number of years, and it remained a popular favorite.
