Sinossi
Excerpt from The Mind of the Century: Reprinted From "the Daily Chronicle"
Of knowing that in all departments of thought, with but one or two exceptions, Englishmen have been among the foremost leaders, even where they have not actually led the world.
On the whole we cannot doubt that, whether at home or abroad, the century has been intellectually one of the greatest in history. Poets have shown a new imaginativeness and daring, combined with strange melody and beauty of form'; they have been possessed by a deeper seriousness, a nearness to nature, and a sincerity which rejects all that is artificial and secondhand. Dramatists have no doubt fallen short of the supreme standard reached by Athens and Elizabethan London, but the growth of the theatre as a whole Since the century's beginning has been marked by the same freshness and sincerity as the poetry. The novel is one of the century's most characteristic productions, and in all its various forms it has reached a higher level than ever before. The essay is not new, but its influence was never greater, and it has been used by many masters of noble style and thought. Artistic criticism has shown a breadth and delicacy of per ception for which even the Greeks were only preparing the way, while philology as a critical science has been created anew. It is perhaps in music that the chief artistic triumph of the century lies; for the art of sounds has entered upon an undiscovered world of expression, and has touched depths of emotion before unreached and perhaps unsuspected. In the plastic arts, to be sure, ih cluding architecture and the decorative work of common life, we are utterly defeated, not only by Athens, but by Egypt and the ancient East, as well as by all the chief nations of mediaeval Europe and by some later periods in our own country. But still within the century's limits we have seen painting express a more poetic and deeper insight into nature.
