Literature, Modern -- 20th century -- Periodicals
Mr. Ellis is one of the most distinguished psychologists, and men
of letters in the world today. He is a scientist with a vision
and a sense of humor, a traveler who sees below the surface, and
a scholar who has read and digested a great part of the world’s
literature without becoming a pedant. To readers of THE LITTLE
REVIEW who are not familiar with his work we confidently
recommend any of the four books below.
IMPRESSIONS AND COMMENTS
“A book of random observations, thoughts, and half-thoughts,
crotchets, hobbies, guesses, and whims. One day Mr. Ellis muses
over a drunken woman and on another he descants on the evolution
of furniture, having in the meanwhile declared his taste in
architecture, the women of Normandy, the ugliness of modern
civilization, and the music of Franck and Elgar, and his opinion
of the devil, Cornishmen, George Meredith, Raphael, Gaby Deslys,
war, and nakedness.”
F. M. Colby in The North American Review.

THE TASK OF SOCIAL HYGIENE
A discussion of the changing status of woman, the emancipation of
woman in relation to romantic love, the significance of the
falling birth-rate, and other aspects of sex and society. “It is
an inspiring and reassuring volume, which deserves not one but
several readings from everyone who takes anything more than a
predatory interest in the social organism.”
Waldo R. Browne in the Chicago Dial.

THE WORLD OF DREAMS
A scholarly, yet entertaining study of just the peculiarities and
curiosities of the world of dreams which everybody has wondered
at. It describes them with the vividness and fantastic imagery
which combine so charmingly in Kipling’s “The Brushwood Boy,” and
at the same time interprets them in the light of a psychologist’s
special knowledge.

THE SOUL OF SPAIN
This brilliant volume on the romance, the woman, the art, the
dancing, and the gardens of Spain, and especially on the Spanish
character, is probably the most illuminating as well as the most
readable interpretation of this inscrutable people in literature.
