Summary "Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern — Volume 12" by Warner et al. is a comprehensive collection of literary excerpts and discussions from notable authors across different periods, written in the late 19th century. This volume includes selections from influential figures such as Denis Diderot, Franz von Dingelstedt, Isaac D'Israeli, and Diogenes Laertius, among others. The anthology aims to showcase significant literary works and the varied philosophies, styles, and historical contexts they represent, offering readers a valuable insight into both ancient and modern literature. At the start of this volume, the text presents a rich tapestry of cultural history, with references to the development of languages, particularly focusing on Javanese literature and its origins. The opening chapters introduce readers to Denis Diderot, outlining his pivotal role in the Enlightenment and his contributions to philosophy and literature, including discussions on subject matters like naturalism and moral philosophy. Further excerpts introduce Franz von Dingelstedt and Diogenes Laertius, each highlighting their unique contributions to literary tradition, from poetic reflections to philosophical musings. The entire collection serves as not only a celebration of literary prowess but also an invitation for readers to explore the nuances of human thought and creativity throughout history.
