Publisher's summary

This is a new edition of “The New Spirit,” originally published in 1892 by Walter Scott, Ltd., of London. Part of the project Immortal Literature Series of classic literature, this is a new edition of the classic work published in 1892—not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Pen House Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. The eBook edition was designed in an elegant style and set to take full advantage of the readers’ features. “The New Spirit” was Havelock Ellis' first book, a collection of literary essays on Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoi, originally published in 1890. The book explores “the new spirit” that has come into the world. Showing deep understanding of his times, Ellis discusses the sciences of anthropology, sociology, and political science; the increasing importance of women—which he believed to be the most significant movement of his time—the approaching disappearance of war, and art and religion as a means to seek rest. This is the original third edition. About the Author: Born in Surrey, England, in 1859, Havelock Ellis was considered by the overwhelming majority of critics as the best translator of “Germinal,” Émile Zola`s masterpiece. Ellis was a social activist, a physician and a psychologist, whose best-known works concern sexuality and criminology. In 1890 he published “The Criminal,” a remarkable work on criminal anthropology; in the same year he wrote “The New Spirit,” and in 1898 he wrote “Affirmations,” which contains essays on Nietzsche, Casanova, Zola, Huysmans, and St. Francis. In 1897, he published “Sexual Inversion,” the first medical text in English about homosexuality, which he had co-authored with John Addington Symonds in an earlier edition, and which became a part of Ellis’s six-volume “Studies in the Psychology of Sex.” Havelock Ellis died in Suffolk, England, in 1939.
