Smith, Preserved | October 19, 1921 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Tudor Ideals," by Lewis Einstein. The author's obligations to Swiss art historian and critic Jacob Burckhardt are patent; his treatment is topical rather than chronological; his observations indicate thought; and his reading of the sources, as far as these are in English and French, is wide and fresh. The four parts into which the book is divided are entitled The Crown, The Individual, Ideals of Life and Thought and The Enrichment of Life, though these subjects are not coordinate. In the advent of the Reformation only the nationalist tendencies are evaluated and there were many other contributing factors.
