Summary: "The New Spirit" by Havelock Ellis is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. This thought-provoking text explores the evolution of human thought and culture, emphasizing the transformative forces within literature and individual genius that reflect the spirit of the times. Ellis analyzes notable figures such as Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoy, providing insights into their contributions to modern thought and how they embody the cultural shifts of the period. At the start of the publication, Ellis presents a preface discussing the intent behind the work, framing it as a personal exploration of the "new spirit" that defines contemporary life. He expresses a desire to understand the emotional and intellectual currents of his time, ultimately aiming to unite diverse literary influences into a cohesive narrative. The opening sets the stage for deeper analysis of selected figures, hinting at how their collective legacies mark a significant departure from past ideologies and contribute to ongoing societal transformations.
