This Reader's Guide to a Liberal Education is based on Eliot’s “Reading Guide” from Volume 50 of The Harvard Classics. It offers a "guiding hand" to self study in a variety of subjects including: history, religion, science, drama, poetry and narrative fiction.

Much of the original text remains: formatted and updated to be read seamlessly and smoothly on your device. Rather than refer to the volumes of the series, however, the literature referenced links directly to online resources where the texts can be downloaded for free. This allows you to select and study the material in your preferred order, rather than clog up your device with difficult to navigate texts. In addition, extensive footnotes will enhance your learning experience.
