Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rising Generation Those three words affect the risen generation very variously. A large majority utter them in a tone of distinct disapproval, as if the poor things could help rising if they continue living. "One must either grow old or die," as Monna Brigida so truly says. Others mingle the disapproval with dread. "'Tis the younger generation knocking at the door," exclaims Ibsen's "Master Builder," coming to claim their share of life, to enforce their views, to upset the good time-honoured old notions and customs. The risen generation shudder and tremble at that knock, and gladly would they keep the intruders out, forgetting how they themselves not so very long ago knocked in just the same insistent way at the door of an older generation.
