Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Heart of the Empire: Discussions of Problems of Modern City Life in England, With an Essay on Imperialism The Victorian Era has definitely closed. For many years it was manifest that the forces characteristic of that period had become expended, and that new problems were arising with a new age. But during the latter years of the nineteenth century men were content to confront the evils of national life with the old remedies. There had indeed been some modification in the general tendency of opinion, but this had by no means kept pace with the altered conditions of the world. The rapidity of social and economic change will perhaps be more easily realised now that the death of the Queen and of the century have reminded us all that nature and time spare nothing, however customary, honoured, and secure. The present can never take refuge behind the past. Foremost among the changes which have taken place has been the stupendous growth of cities. Vast herds of human beings are penned into small areas from which nature is excluded, and there live, breed, and die. The aspect of life has by that fact been altered; no longer brought into direct contact with the forces of nature, man has carved out for himself new and artificial conditions. The cities which we have to-day are different, not merely in degree but in character, from the large towns of former years; the City population is cut off from the country, in a manner previously unknown. It has developed sympathies and passions of its own, differing in essential characteristics from those of a bygone age.
