Ivory Apes and Peacocks is a collection of essays on art, music, literature, and society written by James Huneker, an American music critic and essayist. The book was first published in 1915 and is considered to be one of Huneker's most significant works.The essays in Ivory Apes and Peacocks cover a wide range of topics, including the works of various composers such as Wagner, Chopin, and Liszt, the writings of authors like Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman, and the art of painters like Whistler and Manet. Huneker also delves into broader social and cultural issues of his time, such as the role of women in society and the impact of modernity on art.Throughout the book, Huneker's writing is characterized by his wit, erudition, and passionate engagement with his subjects. He combines his deep knowledge of music, literature, and art with a keen eye for cultural trends and a sharp critique of contemporary society.Ivory Apes and Peacocks remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of art, music, and literature, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and intellectual world of early 20th-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
