Summary "Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern — Volume 13" edited by Charles Dudley Warner et al. is a comprehensive anthology of important literary works, likely compiled in the late 19th century. This volume features a diverse range of authors and genres, including poetry, drama, and essays, showcasing the rich landscape of both ancient and modern literature. The anthology may cover notable pieces, such as works by Toru Dutt and John S. Dwight, inviting readers to explore themes of cultural identity, spirituality, and the influence of music on society. The opening of this volume presents a rich tapestry of literature, starting with historical narratives about figures like Ulfilas, a Gothic bishop credited with translating the Bible into Gothic and the introduction of an alphabet for the Goths. It includes biographical sketches of various authors like Toru Dutt, whose works reflect both Indian heritage and Western influences, as well as John S. Dwight's musings on music's societal role in shaping culture. This section establishes the book’s intention to celebrate not just individual works but also the cultural dialogues that shape literature across different periods and societies, offering readers a glimpse into the literary treasures contained in subsequent pages.
