Kuvaus

Step into the world of an English country house where a group of upper-class men and women convene to explore their vision of a utopia, dubbed their New Republic. This captivating novel serves as a sharp satire of notable figures from Oxford University at the time, delving into themes of aestheticism and Hellenism. Among the characters are Violet Fane/Lady Mary Montgomery Currie (Mrs. Sinclair), Thomas Huxley (Mr. Storks), William Money Hardinge (Mr. Leslie), Thomas Carlyle (Donald Gordon), and Walter Pater (Mr. Rose). Of particular note is Pater, whose portrayal in this work played a significant role in tarnishing his reputation and career at Oxford. A bestseller upon its release, the book continues to resonate with humor and satire today. As David Daiches aptly noted in 1951, If we can read through The New Republic without at one point or another being made to feel a little foolish, we are wise indeed. (Summary by Foon)
