Counter-Currents is a collection of essays written by Agnes Repplier, a prominent American essayist and literary critic, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which contains essays on a variety of topics, including literature, art, and culture. Repplier's writing is characterized by her wit, humor, and sharp observations, as she offers insightful commentary on everything from the works of Shakespeare and Jane Austen to the state of education and the role of women in society.The second part of the book consists of essays on more political and social issues, including the temperance movement, the suffrage movement, and the changing role of women in the early 20th century. Repplier's writing is both thoughtful and thought-provoking, as she challenges conventional wisdom and offers a unique perspective on the issues of her time.Overall, Counter-Currents is a fascinating collection of essays that offers a glimpse into the mind of one of America's most insightful and influential essayists. With its blend of humor, wit, and sharp analysis, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, culture, and the social issues of the early 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.
