Teaching & Education

Literary Taste: How to Form It, written by Arnold Bennett and first published in 1909, is a guide on developing literary appreciation and building a personal library of English literature. Bennett critiques the superficial engagement with literature and emphasizes its essential role in enriching life. The book includes a detailed list of recommended works, each with pricing, and has been influential in shaping literary taste, although it focuses primarily on English texts. A revised edition was published in 1937 by Frank Swinnerton.
