Abstract

Victorians and "Moderns"
Trilling, Lionel | January 25, 1933 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Great Victorians," edited by H.J. Massingham and Hugh Massingham. This book has three essays on scientists-- G.P. Well's Darwin, G. Elliot Smith's E.B. Tylor and J.W.N. Sullivan's Clerk Maxwell-- which are admirable. H. J. Massingham contributes an attack on Husley for betraying Darwinism to the predatory philosophies of capitalism which, though pyrotechnic in style, has real, if not original, point. But the book as a whole is not the summing up of one generation by another. It is rather the summing up of one group of English writers by a very similar group of English writers.
