Gospels of Anarchy and Other Contemporary Studies is a collection of essays written by Vernon Lee, a British writer and critic, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book includes a range of topics, from art and literature to politics and social issues. Lee’s essays explore the ideas of anarchy and individualism, and how they relate to the cultural and intellectual movements of her time. She also delves into the works of prominent writers and artists, such as Oscar Wilde and Walter Pater, and examines their impact on contemporary society. The book is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the cultural and intellectual landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and offers a unique perspective on the ideas and movements that shaped that era.Nor is moderation the remedy for all evils. There are in us tendencies to feel and act which survive from times when the mere preservation of individual and of race was desirable quite unconditionally; but which, in our altered conditions, require not moderating, but actually replacing by something more discriminating, less wasteful and mischievous. Vanity, for instance, covetousness, ferocity, are surely destined to be evolved away, the useful work they once accomplished being gradually performed by instincts of more recent growth which spoil less in the process.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
