- Summary
- "This final offering contains some of Butler's most characteristic and revealing work. Its subjects are, variously, literature, language and religion; the politics and culture of the Balkans and Mitteleuropa; and Irish history. Essays on Henry Flood, Wolfe Tone, Pushkin, Chekhov (an unintended self-portrait), E. R. Leavis and Shaw accompany others on Fichte, Maria Pasquinelli, Himmler, Alexei Gierowski and Martin Luther King. Butler's themes embrace nationalism versus racialism. Communism versus Christianity, the writer as independent spirit, puns and tribal ancestors in the Bible, the workings of history, the interrogation of self." "His humanism and rage of sympathies, his prescience, his voice, reveal him as one of the outstanding thinkers and writers of the age."--BOOK JACKET.
