James Baldwin, The Book Lover: A Guide to the Best Reading [1910]
134 entries: 98 monographical, 36 otherwise
Unrankedarranged alphabetically by author
James Baldwin's The Book Lover was published in fifteen editions, 1884-1910. The list presented here is derived from two chapters of that book, 'Books of Power' and 'On the Choice of Books'. The list found in the latter chapter is short and mostly overlaps with that of the former. The latter adds the Blackmoore and Irving entries (which have been interfiled with the rest, conforming to Baldwin's arrangment of the works alphabetically by author) and specifies Paradise Lost for Milton, Heroes for Carlyle, and Oration on the Crown for Demosthenes; thus, those works' separate entries. Baldwin defines Books of Power as such: "the works which embody the best thoughts of the noblest thinkers of all countries and ages," adding, "in them we perceive the crystallization of human wisdom as it has been made manifest through the grandest intellects of all nations; by the reading of them our minds are lifted into closer companionship with the invisible, the sublime, the everlasting. Such books are for the building up of a lofty character, for the turning of the soul inward upon itself and the fitting of it for greater, stronger, worthier achievements."
The following chapters of The Book Lover contain longer lists of books: 'Books Relating to Ancient History', 'Books Relating to Modern History', 'Geography and Travels', 'Philosophy and Religion', 'Political Economy and the Science of Government', and 'On the Practical Study of English Literature'. Also, in his chapter on the John Lubbock list and the responses it engendered, Baldwin provides a list of one-hundred "works suitable for a young person's library" and another hundred on "nature and nature study." These are excluded on the same grounds as Hutchinson's The World's Best Books and English and Pope's What to Read (both noted at the Excluded Lists page): they are more like directories suggesting books on certain subjects for the reader to choose from, instead of a lists of books of general literary value or historical significance (see the Guidelines for more information on the criteria used to select the lists collected at Greater Books). The Book Lover is similar to The List of Books [1981] in that both provide subject-specific lists in addition to a general list (again, in Baldwin's case, two general lists).
