| Summary |
"The Philistine: A Periodical of Protest (Vol. II, No. 5, April 1896)" by Various is a literary magazine published during the late 19th century. It is a collection of essays, poems, and articles that encompass a variety of themes, presenting a critique of contemporary society, art, and culture. The content reflects the sentiments and artistic movements of the time, offering insights and protest against the norms and expectations of the period. This particular issue features a range of contributions from different authors, encompassing poetic reflections on love and nature, cautionary tales about the excessive pursuit of wealth, and thoughts on societal hypocrisy. The pieces rely heavily on metaphor and allegory, capturing the emotional and social complexities of human experiences. For instance, Ouida’s "The Gold That Glitters" serves as a harsh warning about the dire consequences of materialism, while Stephen Crane's work expresses profound existential reflections through vivid imagery. Overall, "The Philistine" serves as both a platform for creative expression and a vehicle for social critique, appealing to readers interested in the arts and social commentary of that era.
