- +The '''''Chicago Tribune''''' is a major daily [[newspaper]] based in [[Chicago]], Illinois, and the flagship publication of the [[Tribune Company]]. Formerly self-styled as the "World's Greatest Newspaper" (for which WGN [[WGN (AM)|radio]] and [[WGN-TV|television]] are named), it remains the most read daily newspaper of the [[Chicago metropolitan area]] and the [[Great Lakes region (North America)|Great Lakes region]] and is currently the eighth largest newspaper in the United States by circulation (and the second largest under Tribune's ownership behind ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'').
-BOOKS BY JAMES HUNEKER +
- +
-What some distinguished writers have said of them : +
- +
-[[Maurice Maeterlinck]] wrote, May 15, 1905: "Do you know that Iconoclasts is the only book of high and universal critical worth that we have had for years to be precise, since Georg Brandes. It is at once strong and fine, supple and firm, indulgent and sure." +
- +
-And of "Ivory Apes and Peacocks" he said, among other things: "I have marvelled at the vigilance and clarity with which you follow and judge the new literary and artistic move ments in all countries. I do not know of criticism more pure and sure than yours." (October, 1915.) +
- +
-"The [[Mercure de France]] translated the other day from Scribner s one of the best studies which have been written on Stendhal +
-for a long time, in which there was no evasion of the question of Stendhal's immorality. The author of that article, James Huneker, is, among foreign critics, the one best acquainted with French literature and the one who judges us with the greatest sympathy and with the most freedom. He has protested with force in numerous American journals against the campaign of defamation against France, and he has easily proved that those who participate in it are ignorant and fanatical." "Promenades Litteraires" (Troisieme Serie), [[Remy de Gourmont]]. (Translated by [[Burton Rascoe]] for the [[Chicago Tribune]].) +
- +
-[[Paul Bourget]] wrote, [[Lundi de Paques]], 1909, of "Egoists": "I have browsed through the pages of your book and found that you touch in a sympathetic style on diverse problems, artistic and literary. In the case of Stendhal your catholicity of treatment is extremely rare and courageous." +
- +
-Dr. Georg Brandes, the versatile and profound Danish critic, wrote: "I find your breadth of view and its expression more European than American; but the essential thing is that you are an artist to your very marrow." +
- +
- +
- +
-BOOKS BY JAMES HUNEKER +
- +
-[[LETTERS OF JAMES GIBBONS HUNEKER]] +
- +
-These letters have all the brilliance of his essays, but a greater spontaneity and if possible a more vivid spirit. +
- +
-Among the people to whom they are written are Royal Cortissoz, Henry Cabot Lodge, Richard Aldrich, H. E. Krehbiel, Benjamin de Casseres, W. C. Brownell, Walter Pritchard Eaton, William Marion Reedy, Mrs. Gilbert, Elizabeth Jordan, Frida Ashforth, Emma Eames, Henry James, Jr., etc. +
- +
-Every page is alive with pointed comment, brilliant characterization, and vivid portraiture. Bohemian and literary New York of the last several decades is mirrored in these letters. +
- +
- +
- +
-STEEPLEJACK +
- +
-ILLUSTRATED +
- +
-" Not only interesting because of its record of Mr. Huneker s career and philosophy, but because it gives an excellent idea of the developments in art, music, and literature, both in Europe and in America, during the last forty years." WILLIAM LYON PHELPS, Yale University. +
- +
- +
- +
-VARIATIONS +
- +
-"Hold your breath as you go through this book touring the universe with a man who takes all of life in its everlasting fecundity and efflorescence for his theme." +
- +
-BENJAMIN DE CASSERES, in the New York Herald. +
- +
- +
- +
-BEDOUINS +
- +
-Mary Garden; Debussy; Chopin or the Circus; Botticelli; Poe; Brahmsody; Anatole France; Mirbeau; Caruso on Wheels; Calico Cats; the Artistic Temperament; Idols and Ambergris; With the Supreme Sin; Grindstones; A Masque of Music and The Vision Malefic. +
- +
- +
- +
-IVORY APES AND PEACOCKS +
- +
-"His critical tact is well-nigh infallible. . . . His position among writers on aesthetics is anomalous and incredible: no merchant traffics in his heart, yet he commands a large, an eager, an affectionate public." LAWRENCE GILMAN, in N orth American Review (October, 1915). +
- +
-UNICORNS +
- +
-"The essays are short, full of a satisfying and fascinating crispness, both memorable and delightful. And they are full of fancy, too, of the gayest humor, the quickest appreciation, the gentlest sympathy, sometimes of an enchanting extravagance." New York Times. +
- +
-MELOMANIACS +
- +
-"It would be difficult to sum up Melomaniacs in a phrase. Never did a book, in my opinion at any rate, exhibit greater contrasts, not, perhaps, of strength and weakness, but of clear ness and obscurity." HAROLD E. GORST, in London Saturday Review (Dec. 8, 1906). +
- +
-VISIONARIES +
- +
-"In The Spiral Road and in some of the other stories both fantasy and narrative may be compared with Hawthorne in his most unearthly moods. The younger man has read his Nietzsche and has cast off his heritage of simple morals. Hawthorne s Puritanism finds no echo in these modern souls, all sceptical, wavering, and unblessed. But Hawthorne s splendor of vision and his power of sympathy with a tormented mind do live again in the best of Mr. Huneker s stories." London Academy (Feb. 3, 1906). +
- +
-ICONOCLASTS : A Book of Dramatists "His style is a little jerky, but is one of those rare styles in which we are led to expect some significance, if not wit, in every sentence." G. K. CHESTERTON, in London Daily News. +
- +
-MEZZOTINTS IN MODERN MUSIC +
- +
-"Mr. Huneker is, in the best sense, a critic; he listens to +
-the music and gives you his impressions as rapidly and in as +
-few words as possible; or he sketches the composers in fine, +
-broad, sweeping strokes with a magnificent disregard for un +
-important details. And as Mr. Huneker is, as I have said, a +
-powerful personality, a man of quick brain and an energetic +
-imagination, a man of moods and temperament a string that +
-vibrates and sings in response to music we get in these essays +
-of his a distinctly original and very valuable contribution to +
-the world s tiny musical literature." +
- +
-J. F. RUNCIMAN, in London Saturday Review. +
- +
- +
- +
-BOOKS BY JAMES HUNEKER +
- +
-EGOISTS +
- +
-WITH PORTRAIT AND FACSIMILE REPRODUCTIONS +
- +
-" Closely and yet lightly written, full of facts, yet as amusing as a bit of discursive talk, penetrating, candid, and very +
-shrewd." ROYAL CORTISSOZ, in the New York Tribune. +
- +
-THE PATHOS OF DISTANCE +
- +
-A Book of a Thousand and One Moments "The book is stimulating; brilliant even with an unexpected brilliancy." Chicago Tribune. +
- +
-OVERTONES: +
- +
-A Book of Temperaments +
-WITH FRONTISPIECE PORTRAIT OF RICHARD STRAUSS +
- +
-"In some respects Mr. Huneker must be reckoned the most brilliant of all living writers on matters musical." +
- +
-Academy, London. +
- +
-PROMENADES OF AN IMPRESSIONIST +
- +
-" We like best such sober essays as those which analyze for us the technical contributions of Cezanne and Rodin. Here Mr. Huneker is a real interpreter, and here his long experience of men and ways in art counts for much. Charming, in the slighter vein, are such appreciations as the Monticelli and Chardin." +
-FRANK JEWETT MATHER, JR., +
- +
-in New York Nation and Evening Post. +
- +
-NEW ODSMOPOLIS +
- +
-"Mr. James Huneker, critic of music in the first place, is a craftsman of diverse accomplishment who occupies a distinctive +
-and distinguished place among present-day American essayists. He is intensely modern, well read in recent European writers, and not lacking sympathy with the more rebellious spirits. He flings off his impressions at fervent heat ; he is not ashamed to be enthusiastic; and he cannot escape that large sentimentality which, to less disciplined transatlantic writers, is known nakedly as heart interest. Out of his chaos of reading and observation he has, however, evolved a criticism of life that makes for in tellectual cultivation, although it is of a Bohemian rather than an academic kind." London Athen&um (November 6, 1915). +
- +
-FRANZ LISZT +
- +
-WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS +
- +
- +
- +
-CHOPIN: The Man and His Music +
