The Arts in Renewal JUVENILE FICTION / Animals / Ducks activists sought to combine aFive brilliant essays on the renewal in the arts at a time when civilization was on the threshold of sweeping change. The authors discuss not merely a change in the forms or the subject matter of the arts but a spiritual phenomenon.
