Unranked—arranged topically

Charles W. Eliot's Harvard Classics: The Five-Foot Shelf of Books is one of the two popular sets of "great books" that left an indelible mark on U. S. culture in the Twentieth Century, alongside the Great Books of the Western World, a project that aimed to surpass Eliot's series. At various spots online, not least the My Harvard Classics site, one can download full-text scans of the original 51-volume set published in 1909; some of those sites also have the accompanying 20-volume Shelf of Fiction published in 1917. The listing below follows the order of the set, with those fictional works last.
