Discover “The New Republic” (or Culture Faith and Philosophy in an English Country House) penned by British philosopher W.H. Mallock (William Hurrell Mallock) in 1878. In this satirical English masterpiece, Mallock humorously examines the religious liberalism and scientific optimism embraced by notable Victorians like Arnold, Pater, Huxley, Tyndall, Ruskin, and Jowett.
Set against a Peacockian backdrop, the novel introduces the spirited “Mrs. Sinclair,” a representation of Violet Fane. Alongside her, you’ll encounter characters inspired by real individuals – “Dr. Jenkinson” (inspired by Jowett), “Mr. Herbert” (akin to Ruskin), “Mr. Storks” (resembling Huxley), “Mr. Stockton” (echoing Tyndall), “Mr. Luke” (reflecting Matthew Arnold), and “Mr. Rose” (akin to Walter Pater).
A pivotal work in utopian literature history, Mallock also delves into atheism and socialism through his other renowned writings. Embark on a delightful journey through Victorian ideals and ideologies, cleverly woven into this friendly and insightful narrative.
