Book synopsis

Excerpt from The New Europe: Some Essays in Reconstruction The essays collected in this small volume are really the complement to a larger book on "Nationality and the War." The first effect of the war was to drive one's thoughts back upon the interminable tangle of concrete problems out of which it had arisen. One extricated them laboriously in a series, and presented them hopefully for solution. That was the first phase, and I am glad that I made a book of it before it passed; for one might not have had the heart to set to work on it at this later stage of the tragedy, when the evil against which Europe is struggling stands revealed in all its strength and depth. At the present time one's thoughts are momentarily impatient of minute and problematical revisions of the map, and turn rather to the subjective forces - theories and desires, prejudices and ideals - which have made Europe the tragic compound of good and evil she has been in the past, and which are likely to make or mar her definitely in the immediate future. In the essays printed here I have tried to analyse some of these forces and test their quality for true metal or dross.
