Publisher's Synopsis
""The New Republic"" is a novel written by W.H. Mallock that explores the clash between traditional values and modernity in an English country house. The story centers around the character of Hubert Lisle, an intellectual who has returned to his family's estate after living abroad for many years. Hubert is shocked to find that his family and the surrounding community have embraced a new social order, which values materialism, science, and progress over tradition, faith, and philosophy.As Hubert tries to navigate this new world, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the people around him, including his own family. He finds himself drawn to a group of outsiders who share his love of art, music, and literature, and who reject the values of the new republic.Throughout the novel, Mallock explores themes such as the nature of faith, the role of tradition in society, and the tension between individualism and community. The book is a thought-provoking commentary on the social and cultural changes that were taking place in England at the turn of the 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.
