"Unicorns" by James Huneker is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The text explores various themes related to art, literature, and music, reflecting on the essence of creativity and the artistic temperament. Through the lens of rich philosophical insights, it addresses not only classical figures in the arts but also contemporary influences, presenting a deep exploration of the idealist versus realist divide in creative expression. The beginning of "Unicorns" initiates a lyrical meditation on the symbolism of the unicorn, framing it within the dichotomy of reality and imagination. Huneker draws parallels between this mythical creature and the transformative power of art, suggesting that both represent profound ideals that inspire the human spirit. The opening chapter emphasizes the importance of believing in the sublime amidst the mundane, setting the stage for the essays that follow, which delve into figures such as Edward MacDowell and Remy de Gourmont, showcasing how their contributions continue to resonate in the context of artistic creativity.
