Worthy of Interest

This is one MASSIVE, but highly rewarding anthology. There is much to be curious about in here; from Colombus's first-hand hypothesis of a pear-shaped world, to the charmingly underrated poetry of Edward Taylor, to Edgar Allen Poe's essay on the process of composing The Raven; most anyone, with an interest in history and literature, will find themselves satisfied. Understandably dry, but comprehensive, it never lingers too long on any one person or period. The concise introductions for each section offer just enough meat to appreciate the context of what is to come.
