	LiteraryCritic.com -- Harvard Classics
		The Harvard Classics ("The Five Foot Shelf of Books") and The Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction were established and edited by Charles W. Eliot (1834-1926), president of Harvard University from 1869-1909 (also, co-founder of Radcliffe College for women, and pioneer of the elective system of undergraduate education).
		Thus was born the Harvard Classics "Five Foot Shelf of Books", the Volume Index and complete list of works from which is presented below.
		The definition of literature followed in this first series, however, excluded modern fiction, so the Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction was proposed to supplement the first series, and was published in twenty volumes starting in 1917.
