Excerpt from Greeks and Barbarians There have been many explanations of ancient Greece and its peculiar spirit. If I may say so, the only original thing about the explanation offered in this book is its want of originality; for it is the explanation of the Greeks themselves. They believed that Hellenism was born of the con ict between the Greeks and the Barbarians. As Thucydides puts it (i. Greek and Barbarian are correlative terms and Herodotus wrote his great book, seek ing, as he says, digressions of set purpose, to illustrate just that. About such an explanation there is obviously nothing startling at all. It is indeed (at first sight) so colourless and negative, that it must be dissatisfaction with it which has provoked all the other explanations. Scholars must have said to themselves, What is the use of repeat ing that Hellenism is the opposite of Barbarism? We know that already. But they knew it only in a formal or abstract way. It is but the other day that classical scholars have begun to study the Barbarian and to work out the contrast which alone can give us the material for a rich understanding of the Greek himself. Without this study one's ideas of the Greek could not fail to be somewhat empty and colourless. But any one who cares to read even the meagre outline which these essays supply will hardly complain that there is a lack of colour. The subject indeed is so vast that one is compelled to be selective and illustrative. Even to be this is far from easy. For instance, it seems extraordinary to write upon the meaning of Hellenism without a chapter on Greek art. Such a chapter, however, is excluded by the design of this book, which must dispense with illustrations whereas in dealing with literature I could always drive home my point by simple quotation. Then again it may appear a little old-fashioned and arbitrary that I confine myself to the centuries before Alexander. But after all it was, in these centuries that Hellenism rose into its most characteristic form - and in any case a man must stop somewhere.

Excerpt from The Trail of the Barbarians: Being "L'outrage Des Barbares" But, in spite of lack of leisure, I will quarrel With the Master as to his employment of one word: the word irreparable. I have seen ruined France - such of it as is ruined - and have seen on the Somme the mole-work that is demanded of the foot-slogger, and, probably because the mole can see what is going on below ground better than he who passes beneath the rose and grey skies of a French spring, I am more sure than Mr. Loti that the grass is already moving that shall cover the graveyards and the rusty heaps of recovered provinces.

Excerpt from Confessions of a Barbarian This book reveals America to herself by interpreting Europe. I stand in symbolic relation, so to speak, to both hemispheres. My twofold racial consciousness serving as a fulcrum, I am enabled to pry two worlds - Archimedes aspired to lift but one - out of the furrow of their mutual misconception. I have seen the soul of the subtle siren Europe. I have chronicled facts from her unwritten history, from the secret pages of diplomatic portfolios. From her have I also learned verities greater than facts. I may speak ex cathedra: infallibility I claim not. I have emulated not the labored minuteness of old school painters who, numbering each hair of the head, make themselves rivals of God, but the thumbnail sketches of Whistler and the chromatic riots of Boecklin. My book, though published serially in William Marion Reedy's brave weekly. The Mirror, is journalism only in the sense in which that term may also be applied to the Reisebilder of Heine.

Excerpt from The Dynasty of Theodosius: Or Eighty Years Struggle With the Barbarians This little book owes its existence to an invitation addressed to me by the Durham Ladies' Educational Association to deliver to them a short course of historical lectures. Being allowed to choose my own subject, I naturally chose that with which I was most familiar, the epoch of the fall of the Western Empire: but in order to prevent my very familiarity with that period from leading me into diffuseness, I took the precaution of writing the lectures, and thus, I believe, was preserved from in any case over-passing the prescribed limit of an hour and a quarter. When my course was completed, I found that I had described in brief outline so many of the leading events recorded in the first two volumes of my book, Italy and her Invaders, that it seemed worth while to offer the result of my labours to those who might not care to peruse the larger work. In order to give a little more completeness to the book, I added a lecture (the Second) on the political and social condition of the Romans and barbarians, which was not included in the original course.
