This is not merely a book of political essays; it is an enduring essay collection that probes the fault lines of society with intellect, candour, and human sympathy.

Produktbeschreibung
A spark of rebellion, a careful breath of reform, and essays that still speak to today's questions. This is not merely a book of political essays; it is an enduring essay collection that probes the fault lines of society with intellect, candour, and human sympathy. Nevinson threads social critique through urgent themes-class and democracy, pacifism and war critique, and the stubborn question of how reform becomes real life. The prose is lucid, welcoming readers from curious newcomers to serious scholars, while offering fresh angles for those exploring historical readings for students or research for scholars. The volume carries a note of historical significance: it captures the spirit of late Victorian London and Edwardian Britain, voices that shaped debates long before modern policy took its current shape. Readers encounter the lineage of reform, the murmurs of William Morris reform writings, and the philosophical cadence one associates with Bertrand Russell, all filtered through Nevinson's humane, reform-minded gaze. It is a bridge between eras, a dialogue with ideas that still stir discussions about liberty, duty, and the duties of citizenship. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A carefully wrought addition to any library, and a doorway for both casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike.
