Abstract

This collection of 16 trenchant and informative essays chosen from the quarterly Journal of World History attempts to capture and expound the universal rather than the purely national significance of various realms of human endeavor in the nineteenth century. The method of selection reveals the editors' predilection for a primarily historical perspective; consequently the articles are arranged according to five important branches of human achievement: political and social trends, the evolution of science and technology, religious developments, the profile of artistic expression, and philosophy. The volume is useful for quick general orientation; the essays by Mario Praz on the Victorian mood, R. R. Palmer on the impact of the French Revolution and Henri Gouhier on Comte's philosophy of history are especially well written.—S. P. S.
