New Republic; or Culture, Faith and Philosophy in an English Country House
Published in the late 19th century, 'New Republic; or Culture, Faith and Philosophy in an English Country House' by William Hurrell Mallock is a satirical novel set in an English country house where upper-class men and women debate their vision for a utopian society. The book critiques prominent figures from Oxford University, including Thomas Huxley and Walter Pater, using humor to address themes of aestheticism and Hellenism. Its sharp satire contributed to the decline of Pater's reputation and made it a bestseller of its time, remaining relevant for its wit and social commentary.
