The Unity of Western Civilization

The Unity of Western Civilization, first published in 1922, is a collection of essays compiled from lectures delivered during a Summer School in 1915. The work examines the historical, philosophical, and cultural elements that unify Western nations despite their conflicts. Edited by F. S. Marvin, the essays aim to highlight the necessity of recognizing and fostering this unity, particularly in the context of World War I. The contributors provide diverse perspectives on the evolution of Western civilization from prehistoric times to the rise of nation-states.
