The Philistine : a periodical for curious persons (Vol. II, No. 6, May 1896)
"The Philistine: a periodical for curious persons (Vol. II, No. 6, May 1896)" by Elbert Hubbard is a literary magazine published in the late 19th century. The publication is a collection of essays, poems, and articles that reflect various themes, including literature, philosophy, and personal reflections. Its likely audiences were those interested in the cultural and literary movements of the time, particularly the Arts and Crafts movement, of which Hubbard was a
prominent figure. This particular issue includes a variety of thought-provoking content, such as a poem titled "Ananké" reflecting on themes of martyrdom and reason, an essay titled "By Rule of Three" critiquing the teaching methods at Harvard, and various other pieces that explore love, hope, and literary analysis. Notably, Hubbard's voice is both bold and whimsical as he engages with serious subjects such as the nature of literary genius and education while maintaining a playful tone. Overall, the magazine serves not only as a platform for literary exploration but also as an invitation for curious minds to ponder the deeper aspects of life and art.
