Description

This is a thought provoking set of essays by the controversial Havelock Ellis, who is famed for his writings on human sexuality. The New Spirit was his first book. These essays contain Havelock Ellis' thoughts on the lives, the motives and the works of five great authors: Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoy - a fascinating literary examination of some great intellectual thinkers." I do not hesitate to pronounce The New Spirit among the most important books published in the closing years of the nineteenth century. ... Here is a world in which chiefly figure five typical literary personalities - Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoy - whose " intimate thoughts and secret emotions" have become " the common property of after generations." What is the new spirit? It is, briefly, " a quickening of the pulse of life," resulting from the action of three forces, of which one is science, the other two being the rise of women and the coming of democracy." --- from Havelock Ellis: A Biographical and Critical Survey by Isaac Goldberg.
