add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Tocsin of Revolt and Other Essays," by Brander Matthews. The book expresses the excitement and strongest opinions of the author with good humor and urbanity on various issues related to the revolt. According to the author, the title essay of Matthews new volume is the weightiest and it is indeed the only one that can conceivably be discussed. Matthews is alarmed about the revolt because in this period the breach between youth and age seems to him dangerously wide and deep. The battle between the individual and society as a whole seems to him to be fought too unscrupulously by youth.
