Excerpt from Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature, Vol. 1 of 6 From the days of the Holy Alliance onward, the spirit of systematic reaction brooded over the German countries - a reaction which dated from the Congress of Vienna, and had its centre in Austria. Its most typical representative, Metternich, a pupil of Talleyrand, a less adroit but far more mischievous man than his master, hoped to extend it to the whole of Europe. Everyt...

Excerpt from Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature, Vol. 1 of 6 A certain aggregation Of personages, actions, emotions and moods, ideas and works, which make their appearance in France, find expression in the French language, and in¿uence French society at the beginning of the nineteenth century, form in my eyes a naturally coherent group, from the fact that they all centre round one idea, namely, the re-establish ment of a fallen po...

Excerpt from Impressions of RussiaThis book. Was published in October, 1888, while the translator was in Copenhagen. The great interest taken at the present time in the literature of Russia and in everything which relates to that great country makes all that aids in giving a correct impression of its political and social condition specially acceptable. Dr. Brandes is a shrewd observer of what he sees, and has an established reputation as an ac...

Excerpt from Friedrich Nietzsche Friedrich Nietzsche appears to me the most interesting writer in German literature it the present time. Though little known even in his own country, he is a thinker of a high order, who fully deserves to be studied, discussed, contested and mastered. Among many good qualities he has that of imparting his mood to others and setting their thoughts in motion. During a period of eighteen years Nietzsche has writt...

Excerpt from Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature, Vol. 1 of 6: The Emigrant LiteratureIT is'my intention in the present work to trace the outlines of a psychology of the first half of the nineteenth century by means of the study of certain main groups and movements in European literature. The stormy year 1848, a historical turning-point, and hence a break, is the limit to which I purpose following the process of development. The per...

Excerpt from Anatole France The true author is recognisable by the existence on every page of his works of at least one sentence or one phrase which none but he could have written. Take the following sentence: "If we may believe this amiable shepherd of souls, it is impossible for us to elude divine mercy, and we shall all enter Paradise - unless, indeed, there be no Paradise, which is exceedingly probable." It treats of Renan. It must be w...

Excerpt from Poland: A Study of the Land People and Literature Austria is a rich land in a comparatively peaceful state of dissolution, where there are many kinds of men, but no Austrians.

Excerpt from Shakespeare, Vol. 2 of 2: A Critical Study Many and various emotions crowded upon Shakespeare's mind in the year 1601. In its early months Essex and Southampton were condemned. At exactly the same time there occurs the crisis in the relations of Pembroke and Shakespeare with the Dark Lady. Finally, in the early autumn, Shakespeare suffered a loss which he must have felt deeply. The Stratford register of burials for 1601 contains ...

Excerpt from William Shakespeare: A Critical Study The same year which saw the death of Michael Angelo in Rome, saw the birth of William Shakespeare at stratford-ou-avon. The great artist of the Italian Renaissance, the man who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, was replaced, as it were, by the great artist of the English Renaissance, the man who wrote King Lear.

Excerpt from Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature, Vol. 3 of 6: The Reaction in France (1874) The principle of authority has had a powerful educative in¿uence on the human race but its real mission is to make itself super¿uous. At a comparatively low stage man sub mits to law because it emanates from authority, at a higher, because he recognises its reasonableness. Where authority is absolute it must, and as a matter of fact does, d...

Excerpt from Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature, Vol. 4 of 6IT is my intention to trace in the poetry of England of the first decades of this century, the course of the strong, deep, pregnant current in the intellectual life of the country, which, sweeping away the classic forms and conventions, produces a Naturalism dominating the whole of literature, which from Naturalism leads to Radicalism, from revolt against traditional conve...
