| Summary | "The Twentieth Century Epic" by Reuben Brodie Garnett is a poetic work written in the early 20th century. The book presents a critical examination of society, politics, and individual morality, expressed through the author's personal experiences and observations. It touches upon themes such as socialism, public education, ethics, and the role of various professions in society, all aimed at enlightening the reader and urging collective action for societal improvement. The opening of the epic introduces the author’s intentions, dedicating the work to humanity with the hope of providing cheer and wisdom. Garnett describes his inspiration as stemming from a deep concern for the struggles of common people amid the rising tide of legal socialism. He emphasizes that the text will explore contemporary societal issues — from education to the complexities of governance — using straightforward language devoid of ornate metaphors, with the aim of making his message accessible to all. The opening sets the stage for an extensive critique of modern life, urging reflection on individual and collective responsibilities in a rapidly changing world.
