Robert Engle | 76 comments I'm going through this collection to add details for everything and generally clean things up. Of course I'm not a librarian so I'm actually asking you to do it.

Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
See my original post here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... asking to make it static.
lethe fixed #4 how they are supposed to be so I'm starting with adding the other authors to that one.
Charles William Eliot Selected what would go into the collection so he is generally listed with them all. Should be listed as editor probably, he did the earlier Harvard Classics 5' shelf which is why he is in charge & choosing what goes into this later Shelf of Fiction collection.
William Allan Neilson is editor for them all
Walter Scott is the primary author
For this edition Guy Mannering
Additional authors of Criticisms and Interpretations that are included
Thomas Carlyle
Richard Holt Hutton
