Everyman's Library

Japanese: エブリマンズ・ライブラリー(英語表記)Everyman’s Library
Everyman's Library
One of the most popular series in the UK. It was first published in 1906 at the suggestion of critic and editor Ernest Rhys. It contains mainly British and American works, as well as modern European masterpieces and classical works, and has made a great contribution to bringing humanities education to the masses. Originally it was a small pocket-sized book, but in the 1950s it became larger. On the cover is a line from the medieval morality play Everyman, "I will go with thee," which shows the series' attitude.

Japanese:
イギリスのもっとも普及した叢書の一つ。批評家・編集者アーネスト・リースErnest Rhysの企画によって1906年に創刊された。英米を主として,ヨーロッパ近代の名作,さらに古典作品をも収録して,人文科学的な教養を大衆のものにした功績は大きい。当初はポケット判の小さな判型だったが,50年代から大きな判型になった。扉に中世道徳劇《エブリマン》の台詞,〈私は君とともに行こう〉が掲げられており,この叢書の姿勢を示していると言えよう。
