An Anglo-American Plutarch emulates Plutarch by comparing and contrasting the lives of ten famous British and ten famous American historical figures. Each of the pairs is given an historical introduction, followed by interpretive essays on each of the paired lives, and a summary of their historical significance. Ten pairs of men and women are presented, the first of these treated is Benjamin Franklin who is seen as both American and English. Other pairs include: Conservative Revolutionaries-Edmund Burke and John James; Ardent Abolitionists-William Wilberforce and Frederick Douglas; Soldiers of Fortune-Duke of Wellington and Andrew Jackson; Indomitable Ladies-Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton; Votaries of the Law-Frederick E. Pollock and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.; Sister Reformers-Millicent Garrett Fawcett and Mary Ritter Beard; Tribunes of the Working Classes-James Keir Hardie and Eugene V. Debs; Kindred Spirits-Cecil Spring Rice and Theodore Roosevelt; Opposite Numbers?-David Lloyd George and Woodrow Wilson; and Great Men of the Century-Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt.

Translator name not noted above: Arthur Hugh Clough Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name "Harvard Classics," this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard University's longest-serving president. Also known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it represented Eliot's belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf. Volume XII features selections from the biographical writings of the Greek historian PLUTARCH (c. 46 A.D.-120 A.D.), which offer us the only sources of information that have survived for some personages, and exerted a profound influence on the literature to come, particularly throughout the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Included are Plutarch's biographies of Themistocles, Pericles, Aristides, Coriolanus, Demosthenes, Cicero, and others.
