Nicholas Hagger's 55 books include innovatory works on literature,
history, philosophy and international politics. In his first
published literary work he revived the Preface, which had fallen
into disuse after Wordsworth and Shelley. He went on to write
Prefaces (sometimes called 'Prologues', 'Introductions' or
'Introductory Notes') for all his subsequent books. Collected
Prefaces, a collection of 55 Prefaces (excluding the Preface to
this book), sets out his thinking and the reader can follow the
development of his philosophy of Universalism (of which he is the
main exponent), his literary approach (particularly his combination
of Romanticism and Classicism which he calls "neo-Baroque") and his
metaphysical thinking. His Prefaces can be read as essays, and as
in T.S. Eliot's Selected Essays there is an interaction between
adjacent Prefaces that brings an entirely new perspective to
Hagger's works. These Prefaces cover an enormous range. Nicholas
Hagger is a Renaissance man at home in many disciplines. His
Universalism focuses on humankind's relationship to the whole
universe as reflected in seven key disciplines seen as wholes: the
whole of literature, history, philosophy and the sciences,
mysticism, religion, international politics and statecraft and
world culture. Behind all the Prefaces is Hagger's fundamental
perception of the unity of the universe as the One and of
humankind's position in it. These Prefaces complement his Selected
Letters, a companion volume also published by O-Books, and contain
startling insights that illumine and send readers to the works the
Prefaces introduce.
