Selections from Previous Works

With Remarks on Romanes' Mental Evolution in Animals, and a Psalm of Montreal

O książce

In «Selections from Previous Works,» Samuel Butler offers a carefully curated anthology that showcases his diverse literary prowess, combining elements of philosophy, satire, and social critique. The collection includes excerpts from his influential writings, such as the provocative «Erewhon» and insightful essays on art and religion, revealing his unorthodox views on evolution and morality. Through a distinctive narrative style that marries humor with incisive commentary, Butler prompts readers to question established norms and embrace the complexity of human experience within the Victorian context. Samuel Butler, a 19th-century English writer and painter, was known for his unconventional ideas that often challenged societal conventions. Growing up in a deeply religious household, Butler'Äôs early exposure to theology and literature shaped his critical perspective on culture and morality. His own experiences in New Zealand and his interactions with the emerging theories of evolution significantly influenced his thoughts, leading him to craft works that often interrogate the nature of progress and civilization. «Selections from Previous Works» is a vital read for anyone interested in literature that engages with philosophical ideas and critiques of society. Butler'Äôs eloquent prose and thought-provoking insights invite readers to re-evaluate their beliefs and the world around them, making this anthology an essential addition to the canon of Victorian literature.
