Audio Book Summary

Arnold Bennett describes a method for enjoying literature, and suggests the contents of a comprehensive library. Chapters 1-10 and 14 describe his method for learning to enjoy literature. Chapters 11, 12, and 13 contain detailed lists of the 337 volumes required to complete a comprehensive library of English works. This reading is from the 1913 version at Project Gutenberg, and so does not contain the revisions made by Swinnerton for the 1939 edition, which included authors of the early Twentieth Century. Swinnerton's revisions are available from Wikipedia. (Summary by Timothy Ferguson)

    I can’t tell if this is supposed to be cringy and obnoxious or if it’s brilliant. Bennet makes bold statement after bold statement that he doesn’t/couldn’t possibly qualify. BUT I kept listening because even when I disagreed he kept my interest. Cross-referenced titles seem promising. I think he accomplishes what he speaks about. Four stars because it’s either literary genius or a manual on snobbery and arrogance. Or both, as Bennet says is the reflection of the author himself.
