ABSTRACT
Originally published in 1924, this title is divided into four parts, each looking at contemporary issues. Beginning with ‘The Liberators of the Mind’, the author discusses important thinkers of the time, such as Tolstoy and Nietzsche. The second part looks at ‘The War and the Peace’, which refers to the recently fought First World War. He then moves on to ‘Education and Society’, where discussions include Bahaism and Father Christmas. The final part looks at ‘Art and Criticism’, discussing the trends of French post-war poetry – realism, symbolism and dynamism – followed by a look at dynamic drawing. This volume is available again after many years out of print.
