Literary Taste: How to Form It is a guidebook by Arnold Bennett, first published in 1909, that explores the development of literary appreciation and the importance of cultivating literary taste. Bennett argues that literary engagement is essential for a fulfilling life, challenging the notion that literature is merely a social refinement. The book includes a detailed bibliography of recommended English literature, emphasizing the connection between literature and human experience. Its influence persists over a century later, despite its focus on a limited canon of English works.
