Familiar Quotations by John Bartlett
QR code
"Familiar Quotations" by John Bartlett is a reference work first published in 1855. Born from Bartlett's personal notebook of memorable phrases, this groundbreaking collection arranges quotations by author chronologically rather than by subject. Through nineteen editions spanning nearly two centuries, it has evolved from a modest 258-page compilation of English literary classics to a comprehensive cultural archive. The work's editorial choices—what quotations deserve inclusion and which voices merit preservation—have sparked ongoing debates
about literary canon, political bias, and cultural relevance in American intellectual life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
