(The Everyday Classics is a series of school readers based...)
The Everyday Classics is a series of school readers based upon a valid principle and a vital need. The principle is that there is a considerable body of good literature, known to all people who know books, and simple enough to be understood and enjoyed by children. Much of it, indeed, is of most value if read in childhood, and retained through life as a permanent influence upon ones attitude towards life. The need of such a series is seen in the fact that many children are tiot put in touch with much of this common heritage of the race. In the teachers natural desire to find something new and different, many of the old and approved things have been pushed aside. A classic is something more easily known than defined. It is not necessarily abstruse, difficult, or remote from common life. It is a piece of literature that has received the approval of good judges for a long enough time to make that approval settled. Like good music, it cannot grow old; it is last years rag-time that becomes unpleasant, not the good old songs. A classic may be as old as Homer, or as new as Hawthorne; it may be as difficult as Dante, or as simple as Mother Goose.

Thorndike was born on December 26, 1871 in Houlton, Me. He was the son of the Rev. Edward Robert and Abby Brewster (Ladd) Thorndike.
He was the brother of Lynn Thorndike, an American historian of medieval science and alchemy, and Edward Lee Thorndike known for being the father of modern educational psychology.
He prepared for college at the Roxbury Latin School, Boston, and in 1893 graduated A. B. from Wesleyan University, where he came under the influence of the distinguished literary scholar, Caleb T. Winchester.
In 1895 he went to Harvard University for graduate study, took the A. M. degree in 1896, and the Ph. D. in 1898, at the same time acting as instructor in English in Boston University.
During the next two years he was principal of the Smith Academy in Hatfield, Massachussets. For four years, 1898-1902, he was instructor and associate professor in Western Reserve University, and for the next four, professor in Northwestern University. In 1906 he was called to Columbia University, where he taught till his death. Among his colleagues there were his two brothers, Edward L. Thorndike, psychologist, and Lynn Thorndike, historian.
In 1927 gave the annual Shakespeare lecture of the British Academy, published as Shakespeare in America (1927). These facts, while they suggest correctly enough a highly successful academic career, give little indication of either the quality of Thorndike's mind or the range of his influence. Something of these may be gathered from his writings.
His doctoral dissertation, The Influence of Beaumont and Fletcher on Shakspere (1901), was a work of marked originality which has affected the whole course of Shakespearean criticism in the last thirty years. Barrett Wendell had been emphasizing for some years the typical and contemporary elements in Shakespeare's work, and it was probably a suggestion from him that led Thorndike to the specific investigations in which he showed Shakespeare as taking up and developing the methods and devices of his contemporaries rather than originating them. His volume on Tragedy followed in 1908, giving evidence of a finely balanced literary judgment.
From 1913 to 1915 he edited in collaboration with William A. Neilson The Tudor Shakespeare, with a fortieth volume on The Facts about Shakespeare (1913). Shakespeare's Theatre (1916) is a compendious account of the scholarship on a subject that had been growing rapidly and to which he made substantial contributions. In his English Comedy (1929) he produced a companion study to his Tragedy of twenty years before.
Though it is as a student of the Elizabethan drama that Thorndike is most widely known, his literary interests were very extensive. He acted for many years as literary adviser to a large publishing house; and from the reading of hundreds of manuscripts he obtained an insight into the intellectual currents of his own time, such as could not have been obtained from published books alone, and exercised an influence, as great as it was unobtrusive, on literary production. Literature in a Changing Age (1920) and The Outlook for Literature (1931) deal penetratingly with the place of books in modern culture. In the writing and editing of textbooks for the teaching of English at all stages, he was prolific. These run from his Elements of Rhetoric and Composition (1905) through Everyday English (2 vols. , 1912-13, with F. T. Baker), The Minor Elizabethan Drama (2 vols, 1910) for Everyman's Library, an edition of The Maid's Tragedy (1906) in the Belles-Lettres Series, A History of English Literature (1920 with W. A. Neilson), to those of more general interest as his revision, with John W. Cunliffe, of The Warner Library of the World's Best Literature (30 vols. , 1917).
Alongside of this activity in the production of books went his life as a busy university teacher. For over a quarter of a century, he was the guide and adviser of a great stream of young men and women engaged in the graduate study of English, and these students carried on his influence in scores of colleges throughout the United States. The characteristic of the training he gave them, as of his own writing, was the combination of a profound respect for facts with a lively interest in their significance. He did not allow the weight of his erudition to crush his interest in general truths, and he retained, as too few scholars do, a sense of the emotional values of the literary documents with which he dealt. Many people depended on him for aid and counsel, for his judgments were sound and his sympathies ready. Externally, he was a man of large physique with a mass of hair which early turned white, and a deliberate manner which masked the quickness of his mind, as his humor and appearance of ironic detachment masked his warmth of feeling.
He died of a heart attack in Manhattan as he was walking home from a club dinner.

He was president of the Modern Language Association in 1926-27, and of the Shakespeare Association of America from 1923 till his death; was vice-president of the National Institute of Arts and Letters.

(born 24 July 1882, in Lynn, Massachusetts, USA – died 28 December 1965, Columbia University Club, New York City) He was an American historian of medieval science and alchemy.
(August 31, 1874 – August 9, 1949) He was an American psychologist who spent nearly his entire career at Teachers College, Columbia University.
