Posted by admin on September 10, 2009
Say you lived in 1897, What English language books would you a respectable collector have in his collection?
Wow, very helpful already, but in answer, the collector would actually be an extremely wealthy non englishman seeking to learn as much about english language and culture prior to moving to London. more importantly, the discoverer of the library is an englishman who is suprised and impressed to find so many english language books in a foriegn home library.

“respectable collector”
Collector of what, antique books or papyrus scrolls?
1897 is late enough for inexpensive printing and wide spread literacy to put books in the hands of a majority of people. This date is well past the days of the first widely read authors such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle. So who is this collector? Is he a collector of Greek translations or a follower of the new scientific ideas of people like Drawin or Freud? Does the guy have a grimy collection of penny novels featuring Jesse James and Billy the Kid or does he own Dr. Eliot’s five foot shelf?
