“Rossiter Johnson was an American editor and author who lived in the 19th century. He is known for his work as an editor and compiler of literary anthologies. One of the collections he edited is titled "Little Classics." The "Little Classics" series is a compilation of excerpts and short works from various authors, covering a wide range of literary genres. The series typically includes selections from classical literature, essays, poetry, and other writings. Each volume focuses on a specific theme or genre. The goal of these anthologies is to provide readers with condensed yet comprehensive glimpses into the works of notable authors and literary periods. Johnson's editorial work was significant in making classic literature more accessible.”
