Description

This 1914 collection of essays on authors as diverse as Mark Twain, Henry James , and Edith Wharton was written in protest against what the author termed the "machine-made" and "soulless" American literature of his day, in order to, as he says in his introduction, "stimulate our racial sense of ultimate destiny in the world of thought and literature."
