Cape, U.K, 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. xiii, 304 pages, size 8 inches tall by 5.25 inches. 'M. Fernandez is concerned with the problem of personality. Addressing those eager for an ideal in life, he points to the development and perfection of character. And (it is this which is his originality) for his inspiration and illustration he goes to fiction. While Croce has used a philosophy to explain art, M. Fernandez uses art, and particularly literature, to build a philosophy, and, more than a philosophy, an ethic. Nietzsche, of course, did the same, but whereas Nietzsche went back to the springs of Greek tragedy, M. Fernandez goes to the immediate and still living past. Out of his studies of Conrad, Meredith, Newman, and Pater, as well as Balzac, Stendhal, and Proust, he has found a message for the 'generation which,' to quote Mr. T. S. Eliot, 'is beginning to turn its attention to an athleticism, a training of the soul as severe and ascetic as the training of the body of a runner.' Contents : I Of PhilosophicCcriticism II The Method of Balzac : The Recital, and the Aesthetics of the Novel The Evolution of Character and of the Action III Autobiography And The Novel : The Example of Stendhal IV TheArt Of Conrad V The Message Of Meredith VI TheGuaranteeing Of Sentiments And The Intermittences Of The Heart VII TheExperience Of Newman : Mystery and the Individual; Nothingness and Faith VIII The Intelligence And Mr. Maritain IX NotesOn Three Aspects Of Modern Thought : On Freud; On Walter Pater; The Classicism of T.S.
