Description
This 1914 book was written for an American readership in response to a polemic by Professor Münsterberg defending the German view of the war. Here, Powys contrasts the idea of the "omnipotent and irresistible State-machine" of the Germans to the Allies' aim of protecting "the individual against the State."

Description
A self-analyzing piece of literature, this volume demonstrates a critic turning his sharp eye inward. John Cowper wrote his section because he "is always engaged in analyzing the minds of clever artists, let [him] for once, undertake the less pleasing task of analyzing the mind of a clever critic." Llewelyn's section contains passages from his diary-many written in the same vein as his brother's.
