Chapter 1 introduces the study, arguing that an intellectual row created during the World War I era persisted into the Depression and World War II years.

  • Michael Monahan and His Little Known Little Magazine
    MICHAEL MONAHAN AND HIS LITTLE KNOWN LITTLE MAGAZINE BY HERBERT F. SMITH HE first decades of this century were, in terms of literature, an exciting period of experimentation, revolt, re-evaluation. American literary innovators were fanning a blaze that they hoped would consume the piles of Victorian gingerbread that had been accumulating in American literature for half a century. Not the least of these, though among the least remembered, was Michael Monahan, a revolutionist in letters who, from 1904 to 1916, published a magazine that had an influence on American lit- erature that probably extended beyond its meager circulation. Monahan's apprenticeship to literature was an unusual one. He was born in County Cork, Ireland, on April 6, 1865. His father, a schoolmaster, gave him perhaps a little more education than was customary for a youth of that place and time. Nonetheless, it was doubtless more his native talent than his education that prompted the editor of the Albany Press to give him a job as a reporter when he emigrated to this country in 1887. By 1892 he had learned his trade well enough to be chosen as a staff writer for the Democratic National Convention of that year. The impression he made upon an Albany friend of that period helps to explain why he was not satis- fied with such limited success: He was a unique figure. I think his poetic soul revolted at the details of news- paper work and that he preferred to let his imagination soar than to tie himself to plain reporting. Careless in his dress, Michael had a hearty contempt for convention.

  • Jack London and the Tradition of Superman Socialism Geoffrey Harpham
    jack london and the tradition of superman socialism geoffrey harpham Jack London is one of the most representative men of a confused and uncertain generation. While London's thinking on socialism is commonly taken as the idiosyncratic garble of an egomaniac who sold out to the capitalists he pretended to despise, the orthodox conservatism of his socialism is generally overlooked. Since the time when "collectivism" and "individualism" became enshrined under the names "Communism" and "Fascism" as official national ideologies, it has been easy to distinguish discordant elements in London's thought. And certainly many of Lon­ don's friends were appalled at his inconsistencies. But for many Progres­ sive-era socialists, London's description of socialism as "group individual­ ism" struck all the right resonances. After all, both strains were anti- bourgeois, revolutionary, violent and anarchic. And both openly capi­ talized on the current national "gusto" mania. In fact, so many literary socialists were exponents of this bipolar "superman socialism" that it can fairly be said that London—given his eccentricities—was at least operat­ ing within a tradition, even adapting a cliché. Merging the vision of the Just Society with the idea of the romantic hero, London was merely advo­ cating the most popular and influential form of literary conservatism—as well as literary socialism—in the first decade of the century. In formulating this hybrid, London was responding to trends which influenced many of the leading socialist-intellectuals and those who preached socialism while standing outside the movement itself. Edward Bellamy, for example, forecasted a serenely dull society of the year 2000 (Looking Backward, 1888) which was to be governed by a single syndicate representing the people, with little effective democracy.

  • From Orientalism to Cultural Capital Capital Cultural Cultural to to Orientalism Orientalism from From
    From Orientalism to Cultural Capital From Orientalism to Cultural Capital From Orientalism to Cultural Capital presents a fascinating account of the wave of Russophilia that pervaded British literary culture in The Myth of Russia in British Literature of the 1920s the early twentieth century. The authors bring a new approach to the study of this period, exploring the literary phenomenon through two theoretical models from the social sciences: Orientalism and the notion of ‘cultural capital’ associated with Pierre Bourdieu. Examining the responses of leading literary practitioners who had a significant impact on the institutional transmission of Russian culture, they reassess the mechanics of cultural dialogism, mediation and exchange, casting new light on British perceptions of modernism as a transcultural artistic movement and the ways in which the literary interaction with the myth of Russia shaped and intensified these cultural views. Olga Soboleva teaches Comparative Literature at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her research interests are in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian and European culture. • Her recent publications include The Only Hope of the World: George Bernard Shaw and Russia (2012), The Silver Mask: Soboleva and Wrenn Harlequinade in the Symbolist Poetry of Blok and Belyi (2008) and articles on Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Nabokov, Chekhov, Boris Akunin and Victor Pelevin.

    l< PHILOSOPHY OF FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE BY HENRY L. MENCKEN I shall be told, I suppose, that my philosophy it comfortlese to believe that because I speak the truth ; and people prefer everything the Lord made is good. If you are one such, go to the priests, and leave philosophers in peace ! Arthur SchoptnkaMtr. LONDON T. FISHER UNWIN MCMVIII Copyright, 1908 By Henry L. Mknckbh COLONIAL PRESS Electrotyped and Printed by C. H. Simonds < Co. Boston, U.S.A. / INTRODUCTION The philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and the music (and quasi-music) of Richard Strauss: herein we have our modern substitutes for Shakespeare and the musical glasses. There is no escaping Nietzsche. You may hold him a hissing and a mocking and lift your virtuous skirts as you pass him by, but his roar is in your ears and his blasphemies sink into your mind. He has colored the thought and literature, the speculation and theorizing, the politics and superstition of the time. He reigns as king in the German universities where, since Luther's day, all the world's most painful thinking has been done and his echoes tinkle, harshly or faintly, from Chicago to Mesopotamia. His ideas appear in the writings of men as unlike as Roosevelt and Bernard even the Shaw ; newspapers are aware of him. He is praised and berated, accepted and denounced, canonized and damned. Pythag- orus had no more devout disciples and Spinoza had no more murderous and violent foes. Wherefore it may be a toil of some profit to examine his ideas a bit closely; to differentiate between what he said in his books and what his apostles and interpreters and enemies say or think he said and in the to find out what ; end, perhaps, he meant.
