Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between tradition, orthodoxy, and literature, particularly in the context of contemporary writing. The author argues that the decline of tradition has led to excessive individualism and a lack of critical standards in literature. Examining works by renowned authors such as Katherine Mansfield, D. H. Lawrence, and James Joyce, the author explores the varying degrees of moral and spiritual awareness present in their narratives. Drawing parallels between the concepts of "romantic" and "classical," the author cautions against rigid categorizations and emphasizes the importance of a nuanced understanding of these terms. The book further contends that the decay of Protestantism has significantly influenced the landscape of modern literature, resulting in a sense of immaturity and provincialism. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to develop a more critical approach to literature, applying standards that have fallen into disuse. By examining the interplay of tradition, orthodoxy, and individual talent, the author sheds light on the profound significance of moral and spiritual struggle in shaping both literature and the human experience.
