Mortimer J. Adler was a philosopher, educator, and author known for his work on the Great Books program and his advocacy for liberal education. Charles Van Doren was a writer, editor, and academic who gained fame for his involvement in a quiz show scandal and later collaborated with Adler on "How to Read a Book."

Originally published in 1940 and revised in 1972, "How to Read a Book" reflects the changing landscape of education and literacy in the 20th century. It addresses concerns about declining reading skills and the need for more effective reading strategies in an era of increasing information overload. The book also responds to debates about educational methods and the importance of liberal education.
