The New Spirit

"THE NEW SPIRIT" by Havelock Ellis with its original dust jacket. 1935; National Home Library; Washington, D.C. From the dust jacket: "Havelock Ellis is one of the greatest of English essayists. In this book, a renowned masterpiece, he makes us feel the very spirit of the daring men who refused to accept 'things as they are' and threw off the shackles of bigotry and ignorance to which the multitudes were bound for ages before them. He writes of DIDEROT, the inspiring and creative thinker, of HEINE, the poet and 'Soldier of Humanity,' of TOLSTOY, the reformer and champion of the oppressed, of HUYSMANS, of IBSEN, and of WALT WHITMAN. No library is complete without this representative work of a truly great mind." The dust jacket comes with a clear, protective sleeve (not shown). The book measures 6 1/2" tall x 4 1/4" wide.
