_A List of Books Published Since 1900_
Note--The following list contains most of the recent books that are
humanistic in a strict sense, together with a few books humanistic
in a sense more general and indefinite. Magazine articles have been
excluded; but illuminating articles dealing with various aspects of
humanism may be found in the 1928 and 1929 volumes of _The Forum_, _The
Bookman_, _The Hound and Horn_, _The Criterion_, and _The Nineteenth
Century and After_. Helpful recent critiques of the work of Irving
Babbitt and Paul Elmer More are those by a young English critic, Philip
S. Richards, in _The Nineteenth Century and After_ for April, 1928,
May, 1928, and April, 1929, and an article on “Mr. More and the Gentle
Reader” by G. R. Elliott in _The Bookman_ for April, 1929.
