Classics of the Western World [1943]

Unrankedarranged chronologically
Classics of the Western World, published in three editions, 1927, 1934, and 1943, is based upon the reading lists from Columbia University's "great books" courses: the General Honors course, which turned into the Colloquium on Important Books; and the courses, Contemporary Civilization and Humanities. However, being a successful project published by the American Library Association, it warrants status as an separate list. An earlier version, Outline of Readings in Important Books, also based on Columbia classes, was published in 1924. For the most part, the Classics and Outline lists overlap, but the differences between them are significant enough that Outline conceivably could count as a separate list. It has a similar set-up, with both "required" and "recommended" entries, and is presented more clearly and includes fewer excerpts of works. Overall, it is a shorter, simpler list--alas, it was apparently supplanted by the Classics book, leading to its exclusion. The link above takes you to a full-text scan of Outline.
According to the book's Introduction, the faculty members who contributed are those "who taught Colloquium from 1940 to 1942, most of whom have been involved in the course since it succeeded General Honors in 1932: Professor Jacques Barzun, of the Department of History; Dr. Mason Gross and Professor James Gutmann, of the Department of Philosophy; Professor Moses Hadas of the Department of Classics; and Professor Lionel Trilling, Professor Raymond Weaver, Dr. Andrew Chiappe, and myself [Alan Willard Brown], of the Department of English." Of these eight, no less than four (Barzun, Gross, Hadas, and Trilling) were major intellectual figures of the second half of the Twentieth Century; you can read about them in many encyclopedias or biographical directories.
Each section, usually defined by author ("Homer" and so on), is split into two sets of readings; the list used for this project only features the first, the "primary documents," not the second, which consists of literary criticism, biographies, and so on. The first sub-section also includes several recommended translations and versions; these are rarely noted, unlike with some other lists in the project, such as Harold Bloom's, wherein the list's creators wanted to give especial attention to certain translations.
