Publisher's Synopsis
Provocations is a collection of essays and reflections by Sibyl Bristowe, originally published in 1918. The book covers a range of topics, including literature, art, philosophy, and social issues. Bristowe's writing is characterized by its wit, intelligence, and incisiveness, as she engages with the cultural and intellectual currents of her time. Some of the essays in Provocations are critical of contemporary trends, such as the rise of consumerism and the decline of traditional values, while others are more contemplative and personal in nature. Throughout the book, Bristowe's voice is marked by a strong sense of individuality and a commitment to intellectual honesty and integrity. Provocations remains a fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intellectual history of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
