Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The realistic treatment of Revolution has laid me open in England, to the charge of having attempted a definite precast of social troubles over here in the near future; a reading of my message that has stimulated a violent antagonism in many of my reviewers. As a result of this comparatively few of them have dealt with the book as a whole, their energy having been consumed in trying to prove that such a conflict as I have pictured was impossible or, at the very worst, exceedingly unlikely. I am, therefore, taking advantage of the suggestion of my American publishers to write a brief introduction to this edition, in order that I may say quite clearly that I do not anticipate a bloody revolution in England either on the lines indicated or on any other; but that I do, nevertheless, hold myself definitely committed to a prophecy. I believe, for example, that European civilisation has passed its highest point of development and will gradually decline; that the conflict between Capital and Labour in Europe may be ultimately settled on some more or less reasonable basis, but that in the process our civilisation, as such, will cease to be a world-influence; and that, finally, we must look to the United States of America for the development of a new world-order, which I sincerely hope and pray may be greater and better than the one it will supersede.

Book excerpt: "IT is a novel," quoth the publisher or the publisher's man, "that must be read not only for its intensely moving story, but for its sweeping power, its uplifting inspiration, its overmastering sense of inevitability." It may be so, for those who have eyes to see. Pity the poor blind. Far be it from me to deny that it is a novel; for what isn't? But an intensely moving story I have not found it. Rather it strikes me as one of those ingenious fantasies or stunts of the fancy which every current novelist permits himself at some time or other. Pleasant to abandon interpretation or ingenuity for dealing in the business of minor prophecy. Day after to-morrow is fair game for us all. But minor prophecy isn't story-telling. The author of Jacob Stahl, like H. G. Wells and Jack London and the vast company of their successors at this kind of thing, really creates nothing. All he does is to put an interesting speculation in narrative form. After the subtitle of the book, one may be puzzled by the author's "Foreword to American Edition." He is a little hurt that English reviewers have taken his forecast seriously. "I do not," he says, "anticipate a bloody revolution in England either on the lines indicated or on any other; but I do, nevertheless, hold myself committed definitely to a prophecy." This prophecy is nothing less than that "European civilization has passed its highest point of development and will gradually decline; that the conflict between Capital and Labor in Europe may be ultimately settled on some more or less reasonable basis, but that in the process our civilization, as such, will cease to be a world-influence; and that, finally, we must look to the United States of America for the development of a new world-order, which I sincerely hope and pray may be greater and better than the one it will supersede." Well, this news has its cheery aspect - for Americans; it must surely have been a Yankee who is cited as having called the book "the first counterblast to present pessimism." Europe's burning, and Merrie England goeth to pot before our eyes: but it's an ill wind.... And there is some fun ahead for the dog that hasn't yet had his day. To be serious, we owe to Mr. Beresford's book such attention as a soberly conceived and ingeniously contrived fable of the future deserves. He sees (for the purpose of his fable) an England of 1923 in which Labor at last achieves its "direct action" of the General Strike. Organized production and transportation cease with organized government. The working class becomes theoretically the dominating class; and the country goes to pieces. Presently time and occasion are ripe for a successful coup by the reactionaries, and not without violence the old régime sweeps back into power. But this is not the end. To the fabulist's eye revolution and reaction are alike symptoms of mortal disease. The triumph of the old governing class is followed by a reckless throwing overboard of ballast. Society pursues more feverishly than ever the new sensation, the stinging moment of intoxication which shall dull, for the moment, its obscure fear. All human forces are forces of decline, "a frivolous and worthless aristocracy, a dishonest Government, a crass and self-seeking middle-class, a discontented and resentful body of workmen." What then? Where is our counterblast against pessimism? Not, according to the text of the story, in any clear enunciation of a new spirit moving upon the waters, in America or elsewhere; but, at best, in the dim faith that such a spirit will somehow manifest itself for the regeneration (not reformation) of the world. Here before us is civilization "dying full of sin and splendor, of fierce uncompleted desires and glorious accomplishments." Her light flickers and wanes: "All human life was but a little candle burning in the great dark house of the world, a trembling light of aspiration and endeavor that would presently be quenched by the coming of the dawn."....

Book Synopsis Waves Across the South by : Sujit Sivasundaram
Download or read book Waves Across the South written by Sujit Sivasundaram and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Per the UK publisher William Collins's promotional copy: "There is a quarter of this planet which is often forgotten in the histories that are told in the West. This quarter is an oceanic one, pulsating with winds and waves, tides and coastlines, islands and beaches. The Indian and Pacific Oceans constitute that forgotten quarter, brought together here for the first time in a sustained work of history." More specifically, Sivasundaram's aim in this book is to revisit the Age of Revolutions and Empire from the perspective of the Global South. Waves Across the South ranges from the Arabian Sea across the Indian Ocean to the Bay of Bengal, and onward to the South Pacific and Australia's Tasman Sea. As the Western empires (Dutch, French, but especially British) reached across these vast regions, echoes of the European revolutions rippled through them and encountered a host of indigenous political developments. Sivasundaram also opens the door to new and necessary conversations about environmental history in addition to the consequences of historical violence, the extraction of resources, and the indigenous futures that Western imperialism cut short"--

Book Synopsis Dynamic Psychology in Modernist British Fiction by : G. Johnson
Download or read book Dynamic Psychology in Modernist British Fiction written by G. Johnson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-10-06 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic Psychology in Modernist British Fiction argues that literary critics have tended to distort the impact of pre-Freudian psychological discourses, including psychical research, on Modern British Fiction. Psychoanalysis has received undue attention over a more typical British eclecticism, embraced by now-forgotten figures including Frederic Myers and William McDougall. This project focuses on the Edwardian novelists most fully engaged by dynamic psychology, May Sinclair, and J.D. Beresford, but also reconsiders Arnold Bennett and D.H. Lawrence. The book concludes by demonstrating Woolf's subtle assimilation of pre-Freudian discourse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominated for the Deutscher Memorial Prize.The London Revolution 1640 - 1643: Class Struggles in 17th Century England chronicles England's history through the revolution in 1641 - 1642, which toppled the feudal political system, and its aftermath. It explores how the growing capitalist economy fundamentally conflicted with decaying feudal society, causing tensions and dislocations that affected all social classes in the early modern period. In contrast with most other works, this book posits that the fundamental driving force of the revolution was the militant Puritan movement supported by the class of petty-bourgeois artisan craftworkers, instead of the moderate gentry in the House of Commons.The London Revolution 1640 - 1643 further traces the detrimental effects of the political alliance between the free-trade Atlantic merchants and the gentry for the revolution. Despite the conservative and contradictory nature of the English bourgeois revolution, the experience in London is the original source for democratic ideas that were codified in the 1689 Bill of Rights and the U.S. Bill of Rights a century later.Taken in its entirety, The London Revolution 1640 - 1643 refutes the virulent attacks on Marxist social class analysis spearheaded by revisionist historians who would rather write the concept of revolution out of history.

Download or read book Utopian Fantasy written by Richard Gerber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, originally published in 1955 and reissued in 1973, is a study of the flourishing of an ancient literary form which had only recently been recognized and systematically studied as a proper genre – utopian fiction. Beginning with the imaginary journeys of writers like H. G. Wells at the end of the nineteenth century, Professor Gerber traces the evolving themes and forms of the genre through their culmination in the sophisticated nightmares of Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. It is a two-fold transformation: On the one hand, the optimism of social reformers whose visions of the future were nurtured by the theories of Darwin and the triumph of science and industry gradually gives way to the pessimism of moral philosophers alarmed at the power science and technology have put at the disposal of totalitarian rulers. On the other hand, the earlier writers’ dependence on framing and distancing devices for their stories and heavy emphasis on technical details give way to the subtlety of complex psychological novels whose artistry makes the reader a citizen of the tragic worlds depicted.
