The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; The Art of Literature
The book belongs to the pen of the nineteenth century German radical philosopher of pessimism Arthur Schopenhauer, who described himself as the only worthy successor to Kant, assimilated all the negative trends of a disillusioned age. The Art of Literature presents several essays, devoted to the literary form and method, observations upon style, authorship, reputation, criticism and genius: “And whatever may be thought of some of his opinions on matters of detail--on anonymity, for instance, or on the question whether good work is never done for money--there can be no doubt that his general view of literature, and the conditions under which it flourishes, is perfectly sound.”
