Irving Babbitt Continues
Grattan, C. Hartley | September 17, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on book "Democracy and Leadership," by Irving Babbitt. The author's writing brilliance is in this latest book of his, which continues the application of theses developed from "Literature and the American College" through the most famous of his series, "Rousseau and Romanticism." As usual the burden of his animadversion is directed against writer, Henri Rousseau, and the positive trend of his argument is toward the inner discipline. An appreciation of the keen cut of his criticisms of what he terms modernist, as contrasted with modern, makes carping at other aspects of his book rather difficult without giving the impression that a total dissent is intended.
