1918

The “ Spring Drive" of Books (Continued) Fiction.” After citing the names of American novelists who have done memorable work, Professor Canby asks: “Is there finer workmanship in American painting or American music or American architecture than can be found in American novels by the reader willing to search and discriminate? A contemporary poet confessed that he would have rather written a certain sonnet (which accompanied the confession) than have built Brooklyn Bridge. One may doubt the special case, yet uphold the principle. Because a novel is meant to give pleasure, because it deals with imagination rather than with facts and appeals to the generality rather than to the merely literary man or the specialist, because, in short, a novel is a novel, and a modern American novel, is no excuse for priggish reserves in our praise or blame. If there is anything worth criticising irrcontemporary American literature, it is our fiction."

If fiction is, as we believe, truly an art, then it must have diverse modes of expression. The old battle between realist and romanticist had only one reasonable conclusion--that there was a place for each, and even a place for a combination of the two, the unities to the contrary notwithstanding. No one has expressed this better than De Maupassant, a marvelous short-story writer but a weak novelist. In a preface to one of his not very successful attempts at a novel he wrote:

WHILE spring still slumbers beneath winter's cloak there is ample

time to find pleasure and intellectual profit in the genial philosophy, the kindly humor, the stimulating fiction of the printed page. A catalog of THE ABINGDON PRESS will help you choose the most select of its recent publications. Here are a few of them.

THE MAYFLOWER PILGRIMS

By EDMUND JAMES CARPENTER DR. CARPENTER has given a popular and highly interesting account of early New England days.

THE CONFESSIONS OF A BROWNING LOVER

By JOHN WALKER POWELL
A fine interpretation of the message of Brown-
ing to our time. Believing that Browning is
primarily an artist, the author holds that both
by intuition and inspiration he is a philoso-
pher and a theologian and that his teachings
are of the highest order. Agnosticism and
materialism are met and answered. Dr.
Powell's chapter on Immortality is unusually
helpful. Crown 8vo. 248 pages. Cloth.

The public is composed of numerous groups that
cry out to us:
Comfort me

Amuse me
Touch my sympathies;"

“ Make me sad ;'? "Make me dream ;'

; “Make me laugh;" Make me shiver;" "Make me weep;”

"Make me think."

Some chosen spirits alone ask of the artist : "Make something beautiful, in the form which suits you best, according to your temperament."

The artist essays, succeeds or fails. The critic ought to judge of the result only by the nature of the effort: he has no right to take account of tendencies.

Thus after the literary schools which have sought to give us a deformed, superhuman, poetic, tender, charming, or superb vision of life there has come a realistic, or naturalistic, school, which professes to show us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,

These different schools of art must be accepted with equal interest, and the works that they produce must be judged solely from the point of view of their artistic value, admitting a priori the general ideas which gave birth to them.

To deny the right of an author to compose a poetic work, or a realistic work, is to seek to force him to modify his temperament, to reject his originality, and not to allow him the eye and the intelligence which nature has bestowed on him.
