PREFACE 
 
 A Descriptive Guide to the Best Fiction, British and American, 
 published in 1903, of which the present book is a new edition very much 
 enlarged and almost entirely re-written, went rapidly out of print. History 
 in Fiction, a guide to historical novels and tales, in two volumes, is still in 
 print, but deals with only a portion of the subject. Both works have 
 proved of real use to librarians, booksellers, writers, and students, and it 
 is hoped that the present volume, which is virtually a new work, will prove 
 even more so. Its object, as stated in the original Preface, is to supply a 
 fairly complete list of the best prose fiction in English, with as much 
 characterization of the contents, nature, and style of each book as can be 
 put into a few lines of print. It does not claim to be a bibliography, in 
 the stricter sense of the word, although it supplies all the bibliographical 
 particulars required for identification and other general purposes. Long 
 titles are frequently abbreviated ; sub-titles, when they are descriptive, 
 often appear in the notes. The dates given are those of the first publica- 
 tion of each work in book form, the date of serial or other publication 
 being added only when it is of special interest. A very large number of 
 books that are now out of print have been included, when of sufficient 
 importance — the fact being indicated in the notes. Many interesting 
 novels that had been long out of print at the time of the first edition of the 
 Guide have since been reprinted, and it is hoped that it is worth while 
 calling the attention of publishers again to many which have since gone 
 out of print or still remain forgotten. This remark applies especially to 
 scarce translations of foreign novels. In fact, the author has gone so far 
 as to include a few works by foreign novelists (e.g. certain novels by 
 Octave Feuillet, Villiers de I'lsle-Adam, and even such popular writers 
 as George Sand, Edmond About, Jules San^eau, and Marcelle Tinayre) 
 which have unaccountably escaped the attention of translators. No attempt 
 has been made to enlarge the scope of the Guide by dealing with foreign 
 fiction as a whole, or even to include all that has been translated into 
 English, if such translations are now difficult to obtain. This would have 
 involved an enormous amount of additional work, which may, however, be 
 undertaken when a new edition is called for. 
 
 At the same time, the Guide has been expanded in many directions. 
 The former work scarcely professed to cater for the needs of special 
 students ; but now considerable space has been devoted to the mediaeval 
 
viii PREFACE 
 
 romances, to Celtic fiction, the Greek and Latin romances and novels, the 
 Icelandic sagas, and other early works of fiction that are principally of 
 interest to professed students of literary history. As the entries are arranged 
 first in main divisions according to the nationalities of writers, and then in 
 the chronological order of publication, so far as is consistent with ease of 
 reference, the work should form a useful handbook to such students, as well 
 as to the more desultory reader. To facilitate this, the arrangement has 
 been simplified. Instead of separate lists for English, Scottish, Irish, and 
 Colonial fiction, all works of fiction written in English have been put into one 
 main list, with the sole exception of American novels, and a few odd books 
 here and there, e.g. those of Ruffini, Linda Villari, and Ottilie Liljencrantz, 
 which seem to belong more naturally to Italian or to Scandinavian litera- 
 ture. Even with so much additional matter from older sources, it may still 
 be thought that the recent periods are numerically over-represented in 
 comparison with the earlier, and that too much regard has been paid to the 
 enormous output of modern fiction. No doubt this is so, if we are con- 
 cerned purely with literary merit. But every age is rightly most interested 
 in contemporary writers, and even ephemeral and inferior works have been 
 included without scruple, if public interest so decreed. It should be 
 pointed out, further, that a list of less important books (without notes) has 
 been added in the case of many authors of one or two good novels, simply 
 for the convenience of readers. After all, this is only a guide to the best 
 fiction, not an attempt at a catalogue of the best. 
 
 For the special benefit of teachers and younger readers, a dispro- 
 portionate amount of historical fiction has been incorporated. But it will 
 be noticed, that the Historical Appendix which was a prominent feature of 
 the former Guide has in this case been omitted, although historical refer- 
 ences are given in the index. This omission is justified by the fact that a 
 companion volume is now in the press dealing exclusively with historical 
 fiction, and indeed with all fiction serving to illustrate the past. This is 
 arranged on national and chronological lines, each story being described in 
 a note showing its relation to history and the period and incidents with 
 which it deals, and it will be provided with a full index to historical persons 
 and events. Some five or six thousand works will be included, so that it 
 will form an ample reading-list on every historical period, and even on the 
 narrower sub-divisions of the more important epochs. It was intended at 
 first to combine the two objects in the present work ; but as the amount of 
 material in the forthcoming Guide is at least equal to the amount comprised 
 here, it seemed better, for convenience sake, to separate the two and arrange 
 the historical fiction on strictly historical lines. 
 
 In the Notes, the aim has been to subordinate criticism to description, 
 and to characterize rather than appraise. But in order to convey as clear 
 an impression as he was able of the literary species, character, and style of 
 
PREFACE ix 
 
 each novel, the annotator has of course had to use the current phraseology 
 of literary criticism. The lover of literature will not, however, be so likely 
 to quarrel with him on this account as on the amount of attention given to 
 the subject-matter of novels, especially in the Index. This Index, which 
 gives topics, place-references, historical allusions, names of outstanding 
 characters, etc., in one alphabetical sequence along with authors and titles, 
 takes in an immense number of things that are, to put it strictly, outside the 
 sphere of a literary guide. No apology is needed, however, for this, since 
 at a time when such a large number of writers prefer to expound their views 
 on society, politics, philosophy, or religion in the appealing form of the 
 novel, so many intelligent readers look to the novel for this kind of teach- 
 ing. And there is no doubt that we get our most vivid, penetrating, and 
 sympathetic impressions of the life and thought of our fellows at home and 
 abroad from the imaginative interpretation which is the aim of the true 
 novelist. Where such terms of literary classification as the word " natural- 
 ism ", to take one instance, occur in the Index, the writer would point out 
 that he is not attempting a scientific classification of novelists, but rather to 
 suggest groupings and courses of reading. The more ordinary topics 
 handled in fiction do not appear in the Index, except under such headings as 
 "Sex," " Marriage," or " Heredity," and then only when a novelist with 
 a thesis to propound has dealt with the subject rather from the point of 
 view of the psychologist or the social theorist than of the interpreter of 
 common life. The great novels are not topical. 
 
 Where American novels have been published in England with an 
 altered title, or English novels with an American title, the spurious desig- 
 nation is quoted in the note. The original titles of foreign works of fiction 
 are given in italics after the English title, in most cases where they are not 
 practically identical, with the exception of Russian and other languages in 
 which the transliteration of titles is not uniform and the information would 
 be of trifling value to the ordinary reader. It is hoped that in this and 
 other points a fair degree of accuracy has been attained, but the possibilities 
 of error in such a compilation as the present are innumerable, and the 
 writer can only trust that his faults of omission and commission are not 
 serious, and that attention will be called thereto in order that they may be 
 reduced in a future edition. It should be noted that books published since 
 31st December, 191 1, do not come within his present purview. 
 
 Mr. W. Swan Sonnenschein is mainly responsible for the information 
 respecting publishers and prices, a work that has entailed a huge amount 
 of very exacting labour, for which the writer expresses his most grateful 
 acknowledgments.

GUIDE TO FICTION 
 
 ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 BEFORE THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY 
 
 Apollonius of Tyre, The Anglo-Saxon version of ; ed. by Benjamin Thorpe. 1834 
 
 Text and literal translation of the only Anglo-Saxon romance, which was Englished from a 
 Latin rendering of a late Greek romance — the Latin text is still extant. The story is 
 well known from Shakespeare's version in Pericles. The A.-S. version is incomplete, but 
 gives the famous incident of the casting of the wife of Apollonius into the sea after she 
 had given birth to her daughter. The ornate style of the original is closelj' reproduced, 
 and, as Prof. Ker says, this novel " might have founded an order of euphuistic fiction 
 before the Conquest." [o.p.. Arch.] 
 
 AsHTON, John [ed.]. Romances of Chivalry; told, and illustrated in facsimile, 
 by John Ashton. 1887 
 
 For The Knight of the Swanne, see pp. 5, Robert the Devyll, p. 6 and 9, Valentine and Orson and 
 Melusine (French Fiction) . Howleglas is extracted from one of the most famous mediaeval 
 chap-books, which circulated all over Europe. It belongs to folk-lore rather than prose 
 fiction. Low German in origin, it was first printed, in 1515, in High German. The original 
 TyU Eulenspiegel (Owl's Mirror), or Tyll the Saxon, is said to have been a real person, 
 who died in 1350. Around his name grew up a mass of anecdotes and tales recounting 
 his knaveries and ludicrous adventures, broad and coarse in style, as befitted the mediaeval 
 sense of the comic. Copland printed a translation (1528-30, or c. 1560 according to Mr. 
 Ashton). There was an edition by K. R. H. Mackenzie in i860. The following being 
 prose versions of metrical romances hardly come into our purview : Sir Isumbras, Sir 
 Degore, Sir Bevis of Hampton, Sir Tryamoure, The Squyr of Lowe Degre, Sir Eglamoure of 
 Artoys, and Guy of Warwick. All are greatly abbreviated. [Illus., 8vo, Unwin, 1887 : o.p.] 
 
 Fulk Fitz Warine, The History of Fulk Fitz Warine, an outlawed baron in the 
 reign of King John. c. 1320 
 
 The French paraphrase of an Anglo-Norman chanson de geste composed late in the thirteenth 
 century, traces of poetic diction being legible in the prose. Fitz Warine was a powerful 
 baxon who took arms against John, leagued himself with the Welsh, and held out successfully 
 for many years, until he was pardoned. Based on family traditions, and true in the main, 
 though it coatains some curious inaccuracies (e.g. at least two Fitz Warines have been 
 used up in tke comp<;)sition of the hero ; cf. Barbour's Bmce), and a few of the conven- 
 tional extravagances foisted in by the trouvdre. Scene, principally Ludlow Castle and the 
 Welsh border ; most of the places can be identified stiU. As interesting, and almost as 
 natural, as a modern novel ; the historical characters forcibly sketched in, and the life 
 and conditions of the time so well rendered that the book is of high value as historical 
 evidence. [Ed. with transl. and notes by Thos. Wright, Warton Club, 1855 ; transl. Alice 
 Kemp-Welch, with intro. by L. Brandin (The King's Classics), is. 6d. net, Chatto, 1904.] 
 
 Geoffrey of Monmouth [iioo ?-54]. [Historia Regum Britanniae.] 
 
 Written c. 1136 
 Written in Latin by a Welsh ecclesiastic. A fabulous chronicle based on statements from 
 earUer historians, legends from oral (or, as he alleged, written) sources, and inventions of 
 his own. The book that gave European currency to the Matter of Britain. Tells the 
 story of liie Kings of Britain from Brutus, a descendant of lEneas, to Cadwallader, the 
 eighth successor of Arthur. The legend of Arthur as given by Geofirey was subsequently 
 turned n^to Norman-French couplets by Wace, and amplified further by Layamon and 
 _other wiite52j eveiltually furnishing material for certain books in Malory's Morte Darthw. 
 
ENGLISH FICTION i 
 
 Geoffrey, of course, was not the inventor of the Arthurian legend ; he merely elaborated 
 and adorned the stories he had collected, and gave them the unity and dignity of a pseudo- 
 history. Before his time Arthurian tales had left traces, in monuments and Christian 
 names as far afield as Italy. But the impetus his book gave to the spread of Arthurian 
 fiction can hardly be exaggerated. [Trans, by Sebastian Evan? (Temple Classics) , Dent, 1903, 
 IS. 6d. net. Lat. text, Galfridi Monumetensis Historia Britoijium, ed. J. A. Giles (Scriptores 
 Monastici), Lond., Nutt, 1844.] I 
 
 Gesta Romanorum. ' c. 1440 
 
 A collection of Latin stories compiled late in the thirteenth or early in the fourteenth centuries ; 
 author unknown and country unascertained ; intended probably as edifying examples 
 for the use of preachers. English translation printed by JCVynkyn de Worde, 1510— 5. 
 A parallel compilation to that of the Chevalier de la Tour-Landry, all the tales, whatsoever 
 their nature and origin, being burdened with a Christian moral. Sources various — oriental, 
 classical, and mediaeval. A Latin translation of the Fables of Bidpai, the Arabian fables 
 of the Spanish Jew, Petrus Alphonsus, ancient chronicles now lost, and the decadent 
 classical authors, were all drawn upon largely ; but the vaiiqus MSS. differ considerably 
 as to their contents. The history is false, the characters are petitions, and the title — the 
 Acts of the Romans — ^purely gratuitous ; it is a miscellany of oriental romance and apologue, 
 beast fables, classical tales, miracle stories, and legends of the Virgin, costumed in the external 
 features of mediaeval life. All the stories are allegorized or otherwise interpreted in a 
 moralizing way, often with the most absurd results. It is im|)ortant in literary history 
 as a storehouse whence Italian, French, and EngUsh writers, Boets, novelists, and play- 
 wrights obtained many of their plots. [Latin text, rec. H. Oeslerley, 15m., Berlin, 1872;

 Malory, Sir Thomas. Le Morte Darthur : Sir Thomas Malory's Book of King 
 Arthur and of his Noble Knights of the Round Table. 1485 
 
 Printed by Caxton in 1485. A redaction of the Arthurian legends from many English and 
 French versions. These sources, and the extent of Malory's indebtedness to each, are 
 exhaustively treated by Dr. H. O. Sommer in his monumental reprint of Caxton's text, 
 with excursus on Malory's English, a valuable introduction on Maloty, and copious variant 
 readings, notes, etc. Malory did not always utilize the finest versiqn of an episode ; and 
 modern poets, e.g. Tennyson, would have done better had they gotjp nearer the fountain- 
 head for their readings of the legends (e.g. to the Mahinogion or phretien de Troyes) ; 
 nevertheless his book is a great storehouse of knightly tales of advfenture, feats of arms, 
 strange enchantments, mystical enterprises like the Grail quest, and of immortal love- 
 tales like those of Lancelot and Guenevere, Tristan and Iseult, Gerainiand Enid. Caxton 
 published it as a handbook to the manly virtues of chivalry ; and |i spite of the " vain 
 amatorious " element denounced by the Puritans, it remains on(5of the most nobly 
 inspiring books in our English tongue, Malory's unique place in ou^literature is due, at 
 least as much as to the tact of his selection, to the strong, simple Engli iji in which he writes, 
 with its command of vivid suggestion and its noble cadences. [Ed. Isiiel GoUancz, 4 vols.,

 Merlin ; or^-the Early History of King Arthur ; a Prose Romance c. 1450-60 
 
 Translation of a French prose romance that took final shape early in the thirteenth century, 
 and was based on a poem by Robert de Borron and the continuation Entitled the Book 
 of Arthur. Borron incorporated the Perceval and Grail legends with th^mythical history 
 of Arthur. This forms an introduction to the prose Lancelot, since it fcovers to a great 
 extent, though in a proUx and far less interesting fashion, the same ground as the first five 
 books of Malory. The original French verse romance of Merlin (late Welfth century) 
 came between the metrical romances Joseph d'Arimathie and Perceval. Ilriefly, the ch^ 
 matters dealt with are, the birth of Merlin and Arthur, and the battle witWthe recalcitratit 
 barons ; the marriage of Arthur and Gonnore, the foundation of the _Bound Table ; i;he 
 
SIXTEENTH CENTURY 
 
 wars with the Saxons, who meet him in battle after battle ; the defeat of King Rion, the 
 battle with the Romans, the enchantment of MerUn, and the birth of Lancelot. The germ 
 of the Merlin legend is found in Geoffrey of Monmouth. Some of the most magical chapters 
 in Arthurian romance occur in the Merlin, e.g. the finest and purest version of the Merlin 
 and Vivien episode. [Ed. by H. B. Wheatley ; with intro. containing outlines of the 
 history of the legend of Merlin, by W. E. Mead ; also essays on Merlin the Enchanter and 
 MerUn the Bard, by D. W. Nash, and Arthurian Localities by J. S. Stuart Glennie ; index, 
 glossary, notes, and bibliog., 2 vols. (Early English Text Society), Kegan Paul, 33s. 6d., 
 1865-99.] 
 
 Reynard the Fox, The History of, tr. William Caxton [c. 1422-91]. 1481 
 
 A fable or beast-epic which had European currency in the Middle Ages, and attained its 
 finest literary embodiment in the Low German and Flemish versions of the thirteenth 
 fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries. These were derived from the French, though the 
 oldest versions known are in Latin. Complaints are made in the Lion's Court against 
 Reynard's roguery and insolence, but by craft and eloquence he evades them, and after- 
 wards wins in the trial by combat. A comic mirror of the period, full of satire on roguish 
 and sensual priests, and other delinquents ; not pure allegory, but deeply huniorous 
 and ironical. [Ed. Joseph Jacobs, with historical excursus, subscr., 7s. 6d., Nutt, 1893 ;

 An early historical novel by a silk-weaver of Norwich, who was a noted ballad-writer ; a 
 crude mixture of fact and fiction, yet containing the first consistent attempt at drawing 
 material for fiction from the everyday life of everyday people. Thomas Cole, the rich 
 clothier, is said to have been a real person, and much interesting lore is introduced as to - 
 the wealth and character of his order, and curious customs and privileges, like the Gibbet \ 
 Law of HaUfax. Henry I's reign is the imaginary period, but there are many ana- • 
 chronisms. The more romantic chapters are concerned with the king's brother, Robert 
 of Normandy, and the Lady Margaret, whom he loves. [6th ed. (1632), repr. in W. J.

 Fenton, Sir Geoffrey [1539 ?-i6o8]. Certaine Tragicall Discourses writtene oute

 Fourteen histories (four identical with four of Painter's) from Boiasteau and Belleforest's 
 Histoires Tragiques, exiraictes des CEuvres Italiennes de Bandel, a French collection through 
 which many of Bandello's stories came into English literature, e.g. Brooke's poem of 
 Romeus and Juliet, the source of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. [Certain Tragical Dis-

 Ford, Emanuel. Parismus, the Renoumed Prince of Bohemia. 1598-9 
 
 Sub-title : " His most famous, delectable, and pleasant historic, conteining his noble battailes

 his strange aduentures in the desolate Hand." [Lend., 1598 : o.p.] A sequel appeared 
 entitled Parismenos [sic] ; the second part of the Historie of Parismus, the renowned 
 Prince of Bohemia, 1599. Several incidents correspond to Greene's Pandosto and 
 Shakespeare's Winter's Tale. There were many later editions of the whole work, which 
 was issued also in an abridged form as a chap-book ; in fact, all Ford's romances 
 were extremely popular in the seventeenth century. High-flown amours, questionable 
 morals, and extravagant adventures were Ford's stock-in-trade.

 1706 
 
 Makes a crude sort of novel out of the traditional exploits of the Doughty Pindar, or Pound- 
 ikeeper, by connecting them with the Earl of Kendall's rebelUon, during Richard's absence 
 in the Holy Land. Robin Hood is introduced, and fights George a Green, to prove that 
 Maid Marian is more beautiful than the Pindar's Beatrice. A grand fight with quarter- 
 staves, in the town of Merry Bradfield, is described in the last chapter [repr. in W. J.

 ■Greene, Robert [c. 1560-92]. Mamillia : a Mirrour or Looking-glasse for the 
 Ladies of Englande. 1580-3 
 
 An' insipid 'didactic love story in the Italian manner, published in two parts, 1580 and 
 1583. Exploits the euphuistic idea and adds a romantic story. Greene, one of the 
 university wits intoxicated by the art and the profligacy of Italy, wrote a number of 
 pastorals in imitation of Lyly and Sidney, but is of more importance in Uterary history on 
 the score of his numerous pamphlets — ^half novel and half descriptive article, like those 
 of Dekker — e.g. Farewell to Follie, The Notable Discovery of Cosnage, A Groatsworth of Wit, 
 bought with a million of Repentance. These give us priceless glimpses of Elizabethan life, 
 especially on the seamy side, and were not without their influence on Defoe's realistic fiction.

 relates his misfortunes in love and war. Penelope and her attendants discourse and tell 
 stories of love, and so do Perimedes and his wife, borrowing their material from Boccaccio. 
 Planetomachia gives examples of sidereal influence on the fate of lovers. [Two former in

 but maintains her virtue inviolate, and after her husband's death lives honourably as 
 his widow. The exalted ideahsm is in strange contrast with the writer's own profligacy.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 and dedicated to Edward, Duke of Buckingham, who claimed descent from the fabulous 
 hero, said to be grandfather of Godfrey of Boulogne. Translated from a French prose 
 romance printed in 1504. The legend is of great antiquity, and is referred to in Flanders 
 early in the fourteenth century. There was a French romance in 30,000 verses, which 
 was probably the original of a little poem in English alliterative verse, the Chevelere 
 Assigne. The knight's brothers were changed to swans to escape the vengeance of their 
 wicked grandmother, who had persuaded their father. King Orient, that his wife had 
 committed an abominable crime. When this falsehood is miraculously cleared up, the 
 romance goes on to tell how the brethren are restored to human shape, how vaHant deeds 
 are done, and the house of " Boulyon " founded by the seed of Helyas. [W. J. Thoms, 
 Early English Prose Romances, p. 9.] 
 
 Johnson, Richard [1573-1659 ?]. The Famous History of the Seaven Champions 
 of Christendom. 1596-1608 
 
 A very popular and now very rare book, which Ritson described as containing " all the lyes 
 of Christendom in one lye." The champions are St. George of England, St. Denis of 
 France, St. James of Spaine, St. Anthony of Italy, St. Andrew of Scotland, St. Patrick 
 of Ireland, and St. David of Wales. The second part recounts the noble achievements 
 of St. George's three sons, those " lively sparkes of nobility." There is observable here, 
 as in Tom a Lincoln, a habit of paraphrasing passages or working up ideas stolen from 
 Shakespeare. Some blank verse of merit is interspersed. [1596 ; 2nd part, 1608 ; 3rd 
 part, 1608, o.p.] 
 
 The History of Tom a Lincoln, the Red Rose Knight. 1607 
 
 The hero is the son of King Arthur and a nun of Lincoln. He goes to " Fayerie Land," and 
 has an amour with the Amazonian queen, whom he deserts. After ridding the land of 
 Prester John of a dragon, he marries the daughter of that monarch. The ensuing ad- 
 ventures are just as preposterous. The book is a vulgarization of the style of romance 
 exemplified by the Morte d' Arthur, the Amadis, and the Faerie Queene, and is written in 
 a debased kind of euphuism. It is interesting as showing what delighted the " general 
 reader " of those days. [7th ed. (earliest extant), 1635, o.p. ; reprinted in W. J. Thoms',

 Lodge, Thomas [c. 1557-162 5]. The Delectal?le Historie of Forbonius and Pris-

 In verse and prose, a pastoral romance in the euphuistic manner, cumbrous and vapid, but, 
 like Greene's Mamillia of a year before, the forerunner of a popular line of romantic 
 novels. [Reprinted by Shakespeare Society, 1853, o.p. ; and in vol. i. of The Complete

 tions of Lyly and Sidney, noteworthy also as the source of Shakespeare's As You Like It, 
 which borrowed plot, scenery, and characters (Shakespeare added Jaques, Touchstone, 
 and Audrey to these) . It is a version of the old tale of Gamelyn, sometimes included in the 
 Canterbury Tales. [Cassell's National Library, 3d., cloth 6d. ; with illus. by T. Maybank,

 had been exaggerated into a myth like that of Gilles de Retz. [In vol. ii. of Works.'\ 
 
 — Euphues Shadow, the Battaile of the Sences. 1592

 Lyly, John [i55f-i6o6], Euphues, the Anatomy of Wit. 1579 
 
 — ■■ — Euphues and his England [Sequer\. 1580 
 
 Lyly is famous, in the first place, for his Euphues, a work that combined the courtly treatise 
 on manners and morals with characters and a story, and so initiated, and to some extent 
 determined, the nature of the modem novel as an interpretation of life ; and in the second 
 place for his work as a dramatist. Euphues and its sequel form a didactic story, the object 
 of which is to present the ideal gentleman. It is a story of pure abstractions, having less 
 realism than the romances it superseded, and the human interest is thin and languid. 
 But its style caught the popular taste and provoked endless imitations. Euphuism, 
 this elaborate tissue of antithesis, simile, and allusion, pointed with alliteration and 
 balanced cadences, was not Lyly's invention. It began in England with Lord Berners' 
 Froissart, and was all the mode with Gosson, Pettie, and others. Lyly perfected and 
 popularized it, and gave all such fashions a label for future use. His prose comedies 
 were looked upon till recently as important beginnings of the Elizabethan drama, but 
 M. A. Feuillerat, in his John Lyly : Contribution & I'Histoire de la Renaissance en Angle- 
 terre (Cam. Univ. Press, 1910), shows that for a quarter of a century Court dramatists 
 had been turning out similar plays on mythical, pastoral, and allegorical subjects.

 the perfect government of which is contrasted with the lamentable state of England

 and misery of the labouring class, a picture touched in with humorous satire. In book 
 ii. the Utopian system is expounded — ^national education, sanitary laws, hmited hours 
 of labour, ethical philosophy — a sociaUst system, prophetically modern. [Utopia, trans.

 Mu^DAY, Anthony [1553-1633]. Zelauto ; the Fountain of Fame. 1580 
 
 Munday, a versatile and industrious writer of City Pageants and miscellaneous pamphlets, 
 dialogues, and other occasional works, is of most importance in the history of fiction as a 
 translator. He published among other translations from French, Spanish, and Italian, 
 renderings of Palmerin d'Oliva and its continuations, Amadis de Gaule and Primaleon of 
 Greece. Zelauto is a complimentary and complementary piece to Lyly's Euphues, the titular 
 hero, son of the Duke of Venice, travelhng through Italy, Spain, Persia, and Turkey, 
 and finding the most happy estate of well-being in England, [o.p.]

 Owes its inception, perhaps, to the Spanish picaroon stories, Brady's trans, of Lazarillo de 
 Tormes, having appeared in 1576. Whether, in turn, it gave ideas to Defoe is doubtful 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 The nearest approach to realism in Elizabethan fiction. Nash's object was to write a 
 sensation story ; and he produces several lurid and ghastly episodes, in which the life 
 of that " hell of iniquity," Italy, where he had apparently travelled, furnish circumstance 
 and verisimilitude. Historical persons — e.g. Sidney and the fair Geraldine — actual events, 
 and accounts of famous cities in Germany, France, and Italy, are introduced into a 
 mixed recital — half rogue-story, half travel-book. [Ed. with Essay on Life and Writings 
 of Nash, by Edmund Gosse, ys. 6d., Chiswick Press, 1892.] 
 
 Painter, William [1540-94]. The Palace of Pleasure. 1566-7 
 
 A famous treasury of stories from Boccaccio, Bandello, Cinthio, Ser Giovanni, Straparola, 
 Guevara, Marguerite of Navarre, etc., in most cases the first translations into English. 
 The Elizabethan dramatists quarried many of their plots here ; e.g. Romeo and Juliet, 
 All's Well that Ends Well, and Measure for Measure. [Ed. Joseph Jacobs, 3 vols., 50s.

 Pettie got the idea of his collection from Painter's Palace of Pleasure, and his style from tyly. 
 Only a dozen tales — Sinorix and Camma, Tereus and Progne, Germanicus and Agrippina, 
 Amphiaraus and Eriphile, Icilius and Virginia, Admetus and Alcest, Scilla and Minos,

 the Farewell, a collection of romances, and borrowed his materials for Twelfth Night from 
 a story, Apolonius and Silla, that came through Belleforest's Histoires Tragiques from 
 Bandello. [This is reprinted in Collier and Hazlitt's Shakespeare's Library, fol. i, vol. i.

 Robin Hood. The Noble Birth and Gallant Achievements of that Remarkable 
 Outlaw Robin Hood ; together with a true account of the many merry and 
 extravagant exploits he play'd in twelve several stories. Newly collected into 
 one volume by an Ingenious Antiquary. 1678 
 
 A redaction into prose of ballads from the common garlands, most of which appear in Ritson's 
 collection. It forms the only prose history of Robin Hood. The editor has printed 
 herewith a MS. life of the great outlaw, preserved in the Sloane Library ; this is a prose 
 paraphrase of the ancient legend A Lytle Geste of Robyn Hade. The twelve stories re- 
 count some of his most famous feats and adventures, such as the fights with the Tanner 
 of Nottingham, with the Beggar, and with the Curtal Fryar (alias Friar Tuck, alias The 
 Monk of Copmanhurst) , his feats of archery, etc. Full of anachronisms. The period is 
 supposed to be that of Henry VIII, instead of the early Angevin period (c. 1160-99).

 Sidney, Sir Philip [1554-86]. The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia. 1590 
 
 Not published till 1590, though written a decade earlier and widely circulated in MS. In the 
 Arcadia, Sidney combined the pastoral romance of Sanazzaro and Montemayor with the 
 romance of chivalry. It is a rambling story of the adventures of two shipwrecked princes, 
 who in disguise woo the daughters of the king of Arcadia, and set in motion a train of 
 events which are to fulfil a certain oracle. The book in both matter and expression is nearer 
 poetry than prose fiction proper, mingling verse with a flowery and emotional prose 
 elaborately cadenced, and imaging a more beautiful world than the real, in the manner 
 expounded by Sidney in his Apologie. The action and the characters body forth his ideals 
 of chivalrous virtue, heroic energy, and passionate love, and express his longing for 
 a simpler and purer life than was his own lot amid the pomps and frivolities of Elizabeth's 
 court. Alexander supplemented " a defect in the third part," and Beling added a sixth 
 book. Dr. H. O. Sommer's (only edn. since i8th century except Hans FrisweU's 
 abridgement, 6s., London, 1893) is a photographic reproduction of 1st ed., which con- 
 tained only iirst three books (i8gi, 42s., Paul; I12.50, Scribner, N.Y.). Mr. Bertram 
 Dobell has recently discovered an interesting MS. which, he believes, proves that Sidney 
 had cut down and altered his original draft in this edn., not to the betterment of the story. 
 This he proposes to issue verbatim. [Ed. E. A. Baker, with the additions of Sir Wm. 
 Alexander and Richard Beling, a life, and intro. (Early Novelists), Routledge, 1907,

 Combines the contents of Henry Morley's Early Prose Romances (Carisbrooke Library) with 
 those in the former edn. by Thoms. Traditional stories of popular heroes or creatures of 
 romantic fantasy, current in the Tudor period in the form of chap-books and the like. 
 Many of them were dranjatized by Elizabethan playwrights. In modem times Goethe 
 and Wagner have utihzed the Faustus, legend and that of the Swan Knight. For

 prose (thirteenth century). Virgilius, from the Dutch translation of the French story; an 
 Italian folk-tale in origin, being the life and miracles of Virgil, the fabled enchanter, 
 based on legends of the poet. The History of Hamlet, from Richard Bradnocke's version 
 (1608). Hamlet's story was told originally by Saxo Grammaticus, the Danish historio- 
 grapher (twelfth century) ; see Ambales Saga (in Scandin. sectn.). Fryer Bacon, an Eliza- 
 bethan version of the earher story of the great Franciscan (1214-9^) and his achievements, 
 with those of Bungay and Vandermast. Guy of Warwick is a twelfth or thirteenth 
 century story of Athelstan's reign, embodying some episodes from the metrical King 
 Horn, and connected in subject with the Havelok poem. The present highly grandilo- 
 quent and semi-metrical version was published at the end of the sixteenth century. 
 Friar Rush, as savage a lampoon on the clergy as Reynard, is an old Danish tale, found 
 in High German verse of the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century. The friar is a devil

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 By the author of Albion's England. Seven tales on the model of the Theagenes and 
 Chariclea of Hehodorus, written in the current euphuistic style, and not without Lyly's 
 didactic moralizing about women, dress, manners, and the like, [o.p.] 
 
 Whetstone, George [1544 ?-i587 ?]. An Heptameron of Civill Discourses. 1582 
 Sub-title : " Conteining the Christmasse Exercise of Sundrie well Courted Gentlemen and 
 Gentlewomen ; in whose behaviours the better sort may see a representation of their 
 own vertues, and the Inferiour may learne such Rules of Civil Government as will rase 
 out the Blemish of their basenesse. Wherein is Renowned the Vertues of a most honourabel 
 and brave mynded gentleman." A collection of romances from Cinthio and others, 
 divided, like the Decameron, into seven days and one night. The story of Promos and 
 Cassandra reported by Isabella gave Whetstone the plot of his play of the same name 
 {1578), and Shakespeare material for Measure for Measure. This story was reprinted 
 in Collier and Hazlitt's Shakespeare's Library, vol. i., iii.; reprinted by Chatto (Shake- 
 speare Library), 4s. net, and Cassell's National Library, i88g. This Heptameron was 
 reissued sub tit. Aurelia, the Paragon of Pleasure and Princely Delights, by G. W., gent., 
 1593- [o.p.] 
 
 SEVENTEENTH CENTURY— 1601-1700 
 
 Adventures of Covent Garden (The), in imitation of Scarron's City Romance. 1699 
 An imitation of Furetidre's Roman bourgeois (1666) rather than of Scarron's Roman comique. 
 One of the most graphic and detailed pictures extant of London life in the days of the 
 coffee-houses and in the cultivated circles in which Dryden, Congreve, and their literary 
 acquaintances moved. The conversation of Peregrine, the hero of the story, and various 
 ladies, at the play and at scenes like St. Bartholomew's Fair, gives interesting glimpses 
 of literary tastes, etc. [o.p.] 
 
 Bacon, Francis, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans [1561-1626]. The New 
 Atlantis. 1635 
 
 Certain voyagers discover an unknown land in the Pacific inhabited by a people of higher 
 civilization than that of Europeans. In this unfinished tale Bacon embodies much of his 
 philosophy, and makes suggestions, such as the utility of scientific academies, that have 
 borne fruit since ; it is also a good example of his English prose. [Cassell's Nat. Lib., 6d. ; 
 ed. Smith, 40c. n., Macmillan, N.Y. ; also in Ideal Commonwealths, ed. by H. Morley, is.,

 " Containing the Wonderfull Things that he did in his life : also the manner of his death ; 
 with the Uves and deaths of the two Coniurers, Bungye and Vandermast." An Elizabethan 
 version of an earlier story of the great Franciscan (1214-92) and his achievements, which- 
 are after the manner of the time ascribed to necromantic powers. Notable as the story 
 on which Greene based his finest play [repr. in W. J. Thoms' Early English Prose Romances, 
 Routledge, 6s. n. ($2, Button, N.Y.).] 
 
 Barclay, John [1582-1621]. Argenis ; or the Loves of Poliarchus and Argenis. 1611 
 An allegory with political double-meanings grafted on to the romance of gallantry and heroism, 
 such as was coming into vogue in France. Barclay reconstructs the map of Europe, 
 and, bestowing classical names on the leading personages of the reUgious wars, weaves an 
 elaborate and perplexing romance full of surprises and occult significations. Sicily repre- 
 sents France ; Poliarchus, Henry IV ; Usinulca, Calvin ; Hyanisbe, Queen Elizabeth ; the 
 Hyperaphanii, the Huguenots; etc. [Trans, by KingsmiU Long, folio, Lond., 1625;

 Behn, IVIrs. Aphra [1640-89]. Novels. 1698 
 
 The Royal Slave (Oroonoko), The Fair Jilt, The Nun, Agnes de Castro, The Lover's Watch, 
 The Case for the Watch, The Lady's Glass to Dress herself by. The Lucky Mistake, The Court 
 of the King of Bantam, The Adventure of the Black Lady. Mrs. Behn wrote a large number 
 of Ucentious plays, one novel of singular merit, Oroonoko, and some indifierent novelettes 
 which are collected here. These last are negUgible effusions, poor in plot, false in senti- 
 ment, unreal in method, all on variations of the one theme — the omnipotence of love. 
 Oroonoko has a truth and power unexampled in these. It is the story of an heroic negro 
 who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in Surinam, where Aphra perhaps witnessed his 
 sufferings and magnanimity. As a glorification of the natural man, this book anticipated 
 Rousseau, and as an emancipation novel, Mrs. Stowe. [With introd. by E. A. Baker

SEVENTEENTH CENTURY 
 
 BuNYAN, John [1628-88]. The Pilgrim's Progress from this World to That Which 
 is to Come. 1678-84 
 
 Written in prison between 1660 and 1672. Describes the toils and trials of the Christian's 
 mortal life under the guise of a journey from the City of Destruction to the New Jeru- 
 salem. One of the most absorbing allegories, because the least artificial, the characters 
 interesting in themselves, intensely alive, and meeting with experiences fruitful in natural 
 drama. Bunyan's prose is the simplest and purest English, homely, yet capable of sub- 
 lime effects. Incidentally, he drew graphic pictures of his time in scenes from English 
 provincial hf e, and types of human nature from his own keen-eyed observation. [Facsimile

 The Life and Death of Mr. Badman. 1680 
 
 A counterpart to the history of Christian. Relates the progress of a sinner to perdition. 
 The dialogues between Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Attentive, and other digressions relieve the 
 narrative. The rude country life of Charles the Second's time is painted with faithful 
 realism, and the story is a natural and straightforward kind of narrative with a moral 
 attached. [In vol. iii. of his Whole Works, ed. by G. Ofior, 3 vols., 57s.; 8vo, Blackie, 
 1862, o.p. ; with The Holy War, ed. by John Brown, 4s. 6d. n., Camb. Press.] 
 
 The Holy War. 1682 ■ 
 
 Pure allegory again : the strife between celestial and infernal hosts, led by Prince Emmanuel 
 and Diabolus, for the City of Mansoul. The sects inside and outside of the Anglican 
 Church are all represented in the struggle, which unfortunately turns in the main on 
 quibbling points of doctrine. [Ed. J. Brown, 4s. 6d. n., Camb. Press; ed. Mabel 
 Peacock (with The Heavenly Footman), 3s. 6d. ($1.25), Clar. Press, 1892 ; is., R.T.S.] 
 
 CoNGREVE, William [1670-1729]. Incognita ; or, Love and Duty Reconciled. 1692 
 
 Among the latest progeny of sentimental romanticism, but in some points an anticipation of 
 the comic fiction about to be inaugurated by Fielding. Very brief, as novels went in 
 those days, fruit of the idle hours of a fortnight's time ; and very dramatic, the plot 
 comprehending exactly three days. Scene, Florence, "two couple so oddly engaged in an 
 intricate amour," ending their affairs in satisfactory weddings, after a rapid series of 
 intrigues and imbroglios which are related with a mixture of fashionable sentiment and 
 mock-heroic raillery. The first published work of the author, [o.p.] 
 
 Crowne, John \d. 1703 ?]. Pandion and Amphigenia ; or, the Story of the Coy Lady 
 of Thessalia. 1665 
 
 About the worst English example of the romance of heroism and sentiment, flagrantly and 
 ineffectively copied from Sidney's Arcadia. Crowne, the dramatist's, first work, written, 
 so he said, when he was " scarcely twenty years." [o.p.] 
 
 Godwin, Francis [1562-1633]. The Man in the Moone; or, a discourse of a Voyage 
 thither by Domingo Gonsales. 1638 
 
 Godwin was in succession Bishop of Llandaff and of Hereford, and the author of many learned 
 books. Translated into French, this gave Cyrano de Bergerac the suggestion of his famous 
 voyages to the moon. The story is also supposed to have given Bishop Williams the 
 idea of his Discovery of a New World in the Moon. Swift may have borrowed from Cyrano, 
 but it is quite probable that he had read Godwin, [o.p.] 
 
 Harrington, James [1611-1677]. Oceana. 1656 
 
 Half a romance of the conventional quasi-historical type, half a serious treatise on govern- 
 ment. The account of his fictitious commonwealth, particularly the debates and the 
 sketches of statesmen — which clearly refer to contemporary pohtics — have some humorous 
 touches ; but the main part is grave theory enforcing such principles as a maximum 
 allowance of landed property, election by ballot, etc., derived from Venice and Sparta. 
 [Ed. H. Morley, is., Routledge, 1887 (35c. n., Dutton, New York).] 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Head, Richard [1637 ?-i686 ?]. The Enghsh Rogue described in the Life of Meriton 
 Latroon, a witty extravagant, being a compleat History of the most Eminent 
 Cheats of both Sexes [by Richard Head and Francis Kirkman]. 1665-71 
 
 A coarse, indecent, but racy story, in the form of the autobiography of a professional thief. 
 Francis Kirkman, a bookseller, wrote a second part, licensed 1668, and in 1671 a 3rd 
 and 4th parts were published. Head's life was a loose and adventurous one, and supplied 
 him with material for a small library of works on canting, trepanning, and the villainous 
 practices of the day. [Reprinted in 4 vols., Chatto, 1874 ; o.p.] 
 
 Ingelo, Nathaniel [1621 ?-83]. Bentivoho and Urania. 1660 
 
 A religious romance or treatise : Bentivolio is Good Will, and Urania, Heavenly Light, [o.p.] 
 
 Kirkman, Francis. Don Bellianis of Greece : (see Spanish Fiction, Fernandez (T.) ). 
 
 Mackenzie, Sir George [1636-91]. Aretina ; or, the Serious Romance. 1661 
 
 The most brilliant imitation in English of the French romances of heroic gallantry (see Gombre- 
 ville, La Calprendde, and Scud&y), by the famous persecutor — " the Bloody Mackenzie." 
 Not unindebted to Lyly and Sidney for its high-flown style. Like Barclay and Harrington, 
 Mackenzie dresses up contemporary politics in allegorical costumes, giving the kingdoms 
 of England and Scotland under the names of Athens and Sparta. But the strength of the 
 book — such as it is — lies in his able treatment of ethical and sentimental discussions, in 
 emulation of his Gallic models. The paradoxes and aphorisms in which Mackenzie's 
 juvenile wit luxuriated are set in ingenious conceits that are often grotesque but not seldom 
 adorn. [Lond., 1661 ; o.p.] 
 
 Nova Solyma ; or, Jerusalem Regained : an anonymous romance written in the 
 time of Charles 1, now first drawn from obscurity, and attributed to the illus- 
 trious John Milton. With Introduction, Translation, Literary Essays, and a 
 Bibliography, by Rev. Walter Begley. 1648 
 
 Convincing arguments have been adduced by Professor J. W. Mackail (Quarterly, April, 1903), 
 to show that Milton was not the author : but it is the work of a contemporary, and, prob- 
 ably a college friend of Milton's. A very miscellaneous and formless production. The 
 adventures of two Cambridge youths who visit the new Jerusalem, repossessed by the 
 Jews after their conversion to Christianity ; in the fashionable style of which Euphues 
 is the best exemplar. The account of Nova Solyma, its poUty and social economy, family 
 life, nurture and education of children, and its university, is another Utopia, embodying 
 ideas common to many great minds of the period with which Milton was in full sympathy. 
 Long discourses on theological questions, the Creation, nature and art, poetry, take up 
 the larger part of the book. Many fine essays in Latin verse are translated into Miltonic 
 metres, and offered as proofs of Milton's authorship. The love of the two students for the 
 Daughter of Zion, the ecstatic character of Joseph, and the lighter amorous episodes 
 belong to the general style of fanciful romance that preceded the birth of a true prose 
 fiction. [Published sub tit. Novae Solymae, 1648; translation from a second issue in 
 1649, 2 vols., 21S. n., 8vo, Murray, 1902.] 
 
 Orrery, Roger Boyle, ist Earl of [1621-79]. Parthenissa ; that most fam'd romance. 
 
 1654-65 
 An imitation of the romance of spurious antiquity invented by Desmaretz and La Calpren^de. 
 Syrian, Parthian, Arabian princes, generals, lovers undergo the stereotyped adventures, in 
 a complication of episodes and secondary stories, in which Hannibal, Spartacus, Massinissa, 
 Mithradates, and other notabilities of classical history take parts. [First part appeared 
 in 6 vols, in 1654, and complete ed. in 3 vols, in 1665 and in folio 1676; op.] 
 
 '■ English Adventures by a person of honour. 1676 
 
 Tells the story of Henry the Eighth's and the Duke of Brandon's amorous exploits in the 
 froward and cynical spirit of post- Restoration comedy. Brandon's adventures supplied 
 Otway with matter for his Orphan (played in 1680). [o.p.] 
 
 Wroath, Lady Mary. The Countess of Montgomerie's Urania. 1621 
 
 An imitation of Sidney's Arcadia by a niece of his, daughter of Robert, Earl of Leicester. 
 
 A mixture of Sidneian prose and verse, with the conventional shepherd-princes and royal 
 
 shepherdesses herding their flocks and making love in Greece and the isles. [Folio, 
 
 Lond., 1621 ; o.p.]

 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, FIRST HALF— iyoi~iy 50 
 
 Addison, Joseph [1672-1719]. The Spectator. 1711-4 
 
 The Spectator contains many critical or satirical pictures of society, moral apologues, and char- 
 acter-sketches knit into a kind of memoir, such as that of Sir Roger de Coverley, all of 
 which were important as aiding the development of the novel towards delineation of real 
 Hfe. The periodical essay went a stage further than the " character," whole volumes of 
 which were pubUshed by Overbury, Earle, and numerous other writers of the preceding 
 age. The essay not only analysed and criticized character in a philosophical way, but 
 showed them actually immersed in the practical affairs of life. [8 vols., 24s. n.. Dent, 1897 ;

 Carleton, Capt. George. The Memoirs of an English Of&cer. 1728 
 
 More probably authentic memoirs, though it was long put down as one of Defoe's fictions. 
 
 A realistic narrative of the wars, particularly of the Earl of Peterborough's daring but 
 
 unfortunate campaign in the Peninsula. [In Defoe's Novels, etc., ii. (Bohn's Lib.), 3s. 6d., 
 
 Bell.] 
 
 Defoe, Daniel [1663-1731]. Robinson Crusoe. 1719 
 
 "Founded on the actual experiences of Alexander Selkirk, cast away on an uninhabited island'. 
 A minutely circumstantial account of his shipwreck and escape, and the methodical 
 industry whereby the soUtary makes himself a comfortable home. A masterpiece of 
 unconscious, instinctive art, and a book that has been a model for realistic romances ever 
 since. Though it is only by stretching a point that any of his books can be defined as 
 novels, Defoe was of epoch-making importance in the history of fiction. He wrote to 
 satisfy a popular demand for facts, and so established reahsm as the new basis for 
 romance. [Ed. H. Kingsley (Globe edn,), 3s. 6d., Macmillan, 1879 ; ed. J. W. Clark 
 (Golden Treasury Series), 2S. 6d. n. ($1), Macmillan, 1868; ed. G. A. Aitken, 3 vols., 
 7S. 6d. n., Dent ($3, Macmillan, New York), 1895-6; vol. vii, Defoe's Novels, etc., 
 7 vols., each 3s. 6d. (Bohn's Stand. Lib.), Bell.] 
 
 Memoirs of a Cavalier. 1720 
 
 Military journal of the wars in Germany under Gustavus Adolphus and in England under 
 
 Charles I (1632-48) ; rather history than romance, and possibly based on a stray MS., 
 which seems to be quoted freely, thus accounting for various slips. The hero may have 
 been Andrew Newport, whose father became Lord Newport, but more probably was 
 invented ; if so, the book has deceived the ablest critics. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent (|i, Macmillan, 
 New York), 1895; 3s. 6d., Bell.] 
 
 Life, Adventures and Piracies of Capt. Singleton 1720 
 
 This and the next are excellent examples of Defoe's pseudo-history and pseudo-biography, 
 
 which pretended to be authentic, and were perfectly faithful accounts of contemporary 
 life. The boy Singleton was kidnapped and sold to gypsies, headed a band of mutineers, 
 crossed Africa from Madagascar, and became a successful pirate. This part is made up 
 from authentic tales of travellers, and the detailed account of Central Africa has not 
 been discredited. Defoe's nearest approach to a humorous character, WiUiam the Quaker, 
 comes into this tale. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent ($1, Macmillan, New York), 1895; 3S- 6d., Bell.] 
 
 The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders. 1722 
 
 A masterpiece of naturalistic fiction, which in recent years was translated into French as a 
 
 classic model of that genre. Moll went to the bad in early life, was five times married 
 (bigamously or legitimately she Httle cared) , a thief and a harlot, and eventually a penitent. 
 She tells her story with a plain sincerity that appals, so dreadful are the facts set down, 
 without comment save the occasional apostrophes for mercy which Defoe, as moralist, felt 
 it incumbent upon him to interject. [Ed. G. A. Aitken, 2 vols., 5s. n.. Dent ($2, Macmillan, 
 New York), 1895; with Roxana, ed. E. A. Baker (Early Novelists), 6s. n., Routledge 
 (%2, Dutton, New York), 1906.] 
 
 A Journal of the Plague Year. 1722 
 
 A plain, matter-of-fact narrative, fortified by documentary proofs that give it the semblance 
 of history. It is indeed a masterpiece of tragic history, fairly comparable to the descrip- 
 tions of great cities in the throes of pestilence by Thucydides and Milton. [With Cruik- 
 shank's illustrations, 3s. 6d., Routledge ; ed. H. Morley, is., Routledge (35c., Dutton,

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Defoe, Daniel {continued). — Life and Adventures of Colonel Jacque. 1722 
 
 A pendant to Moll Flanders as a view of shady life — this biography of a convict has frequently 
 been reprinted among accounts of genuine highwaymen. By birth a gentleman, the hero 
 fell among depraved people, was brought up to be a thief, and after a life of rascality was 
 kidnapped and sent to the plantations. Like Moll Flanders, gives a vivid picture of the 
 submerged in London, the ways of the criminal classes, etc. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent ( $1, Macmillan, 
 New York), 1895; 3s. 6d., Bell.] 
 
 The Fortunate Mistress, Lady Roxana. 1724 
 
 Another narrative of moral corruption — the life of a courtesan among the upper classes. The 
 beautiful daughter of a French refugee, she marries a fool who levants, and then goes to 
 the bad. She gains wealth by wily scheming, but in the end is disgraced, and dies in 
 gaol. There is a Quaker landlady in the story who is interesting as a character. But 
 the finest part of Roxana is towards the end, where a tearful climax of terror and suspense 
 is engineered. The story was finished by another hand, who blundered with dates, etc. 
 [2 vols., 5s. n.. Dent ($2, Macmillan, New York), 1895 ; with Moll Flanders ; see above.] 
 
 Fielding, Henry [1707-54]. The Adventures of Joseph Andrews. 1742 
 
 Began as a burlesque of Richardson's Pamela, but soon expanded into a sort of picaroon 
 novel. The worldly-wise vestal Pamela reappears as Lady Booby, and her brother Joseph, 
 the footman, is represented as repelUng the overtures of a woman of quality. The servants 
 and connections of a squire's family in the country include those famous originals : Parson 
 Adams, designed as a character of perfect simplicity and goodness ; Mrs. SUpslop, Peter 
 Pounce, and Parson TruUiber. In a long disquisition Fielding analyses the novel as a 
 comic epic in prose. [Ed. Saintsbury, 2 vols., 5s. n.. Dent ($2, Macmillan, New York), 
 1893 ; 3s. 6d. (Bohn's Lib.), Bell {$1 n., Macmillan, New York) ; 5s., 2s., Routledge 
 {fi.50, $1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 A Journey from this World to the Next. I743 
 
 A Lucianic fable. The journey gives occasion for much quizzing of human nature, the satire 
 growing more unequivocal when Minos decides, in grim sardonic style, on the various 
 claims to enter Elysium. Humorous descriptions of literary immortals follow, and then 
 a lengthy account of Julian the Apostate and his transmigrations. Probably written 
 earlier than Joseph Andrews. [In his Miscellanies, ed. G. Saintsbury, 2 vols., 5s. n., Dent 
 ($2, Macmillan, New York), 1893 ; see also next book.] 
 
 The History of Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great. I743 
 
 A masterpiece of sustained irony, the biography of the noted thief-taker hanged at Tyburn 
 
 in 1725 being thrown into the form of a parable on the theme that goodness must not 
 be divorced from greatness, or the latter will degenerate into pure rascality. [This and 
 the Journey appeared in the Miscellanies (3 vols., 1743). In i vol., 5s., Routledge (?2, 
 Dutton, New York) ; Miscellanies, ed. G. Saintsbury, 2 vols., 5s. n., Dent (I2 n., Mac- 
 millan, New York), 1893.] 
 
 Tom Jones : the History of a Foundling. 1749 
 
 His mo^ elaborate and comprehensive work. The complete and unexpurgated history of a 
 
 young man of strong natural impulses, a good disposition, and no overpowering sense of 
 morality. Fielding planned it as a " Comic Epic," and built the plot with care, a plot 
 turning on the recognition of Jones's birth and on the fortunes of his love for an adorable 
 girl. Life in country and town in the year 1745 ; with a great crowd of characters of aU 
 sorts and conditions, from the squirearchy and the rakes and fashionable women of 
 London down to the domestic servants and even gypsies and tinkers. Squire Western 
 and Partridge are comic gems of the finest quality ; AUworthy is an idealized portrait 
 of Ralph Allen, and Sophia (like Amelia) a picture drawn with reverent passion from 
 Fielding's dead wife. Fielding aims at a philosophical representation of life, and in the 
 essays prefixed to his chapters gives many dissertations on literature and art, and on the 
 actions and characters of the story. Tom Jones is of the highest importance in the history 
 of literature, as indicating the lines on which the modern novel of manners was to be 
 written ; Thackeray, the most distinguished of Fielding's followers, avowedly took it for 
 his model in Pendennis, and it justifies the digressions and asides of George Eliot and 
 otlier novelists. [Ed. Saintsbury, 4 vols., los. n.. Dent ($4, Macmillan, New York), 
 1893 ; 2 vols. (Bohn's Lib.), 7s., Bell ($2 n., Macmillan, New York) ; 2 vols., 10s., i vol.,

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, FIRST HALF 
 
 Fielding, Henry (continued). — ^Amelia. 1751 
 
 This comes closest of all Fielding's novels to actuality, for he was drawing upon his personal 
 experiences as a London magistrate, and was anxious to show up the disorders of society 
 in his pictures of licentious pleasures, depravity and crime, and the horrors of Newgate. 
 Amelia, " the perfect model of an English wife," he drew from his own first wife. It is 
 the touching — and often trying — story of a married couple in an uphill struggle with 
 adversity, the hero as weakly good-natured as Tom Jones — or more so. Dr. Harrison 
 and Col. Bath are the most original creations. [Ed. Saintsbury, 3 vols., 7s. 6d. n.. Dent 
 (I3, Macmillau, New York), 1893; 5s. (Bohn's Lib.), Bell; $1.50 n., Macmillan, New

 Fielding, Sarah [sister of Hy. Fielding ; 1714-68]. Adventures of David Simple 
 in Search of a Faithful Friend. 1744 
 
 A moralizing novel, inspired by Richardson's Pamela. The misadventures and perplexities 
 of a serious young man in quest of an ideal friend, whom he finds at last in the beautiful 
 and amiable Camilla. One volume was mainly devoted to exposition of character in a 
 number of individuals, the other to episodes of life in London. [Ed. E. A. Baker, Rout- 
 ledge, 2S. ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Haywood, Mrs. Eliza [1693 ?-i756]. Love in Excess; or, the Fatal Enquiry.

 The Injur'd Husband ; or, Mistaken Resentment. 1724 
 
 Memoirs of a certain Island adjacent to Utopia, written by a celebrated author 
 
 of that country ; now translated into English. 1725 
 
 The Secret History of the Present Intrigues of the Court of Caramania. 1727 
 
 Novels of intrigue and contemporary scandal in the style of Mrs. Behn and Mrs. Manley. 
 
 To the two last-named Mrs. Haywood published keys, identifying, by means of initials, 
 her characters with living notabilities. Her libels exasperated Pope, who savagely re- 
 taliated in The Dunciad, where she figures as " Ehza." [o.p.] 
 
 The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless 1751 
 
 Miss Burney appears to have got the idea of Evelina and suggestions for several of her cha- 
 racters from this novel, which describes the d6but in the fashionable world of London 
 of an inexperienced girl. Miss Betsy falls into the hands of a dissolute set, and her em- 
 barrassments are more fruitful in impropriety than humour, though the novelist parades 
 the moral lesson which the story is supposed to inculcate, [o.p.]

 viously written two comedies. A romance made up of disguised scandal of political and 
 fashionable life. The French version, with a key, was published at Oxford in 1712. [o.p.] 
 
 — — Secret Memoirs and Manners of Several Persons of Quality, of both Sexes. 
 From the New Atalantis. 1709 
 
 A more impudent miscellany of slanderous stories, for which author, publishers, and printers 
 were arrested, on the Earl of Sunderland's warrant, on a charge of libelUng certain people 
 of eminence. Her Memoirs of Europe towards the close of the Eighteenth Century, written 
 by Eginardus, secretary and favourite to Charlemagne, and done into English by the trans- 
 lator of the " New Atalantis " (1710) was reprinted as the 3rd and 4th vols, of the New 
 Atalantis. She also wrote Court Intrigues, in a Collection of Original Letters from the 
 Island of the New Atalantis {1711). In her attacks on the Whigs she was assisted by hints 
 from Swift, whom she succeeded as editor of the Examiner (1711). [o.p.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Richardson, Samuel [1689-1761]. Pamela, or. Virtue Rewarded. 1740-2 
 
 A didactic novel writ±en in letters of great prolixity and minuteness, the outcome of a project 
 for utilizing Richardson's epistolary gift to furnish illustrations of polite letter-writing 
 and of just and prudent behaviour. The story of a maidservant of good and prudent 
 upbringing whose virtue is pertinaciously assailed by her master. Epoch-making in 
 literature as a study of the female heart. The point of view and the iiatural feelings of 
 an ignorant, shrewd, pious, and practical girl of humble station are faithfully interpreted. 
 Richardson's prudential scheme of morality provoked Fielding to write Joseph Andrews 
 (1742). The second part of Pamela (1742) is inferior to the first. [2s., Routledge (%i, 
 Dutton, New York) ; edn. of Richardson's works, 20 vols., Chapman, each 2S. 6d. n. ; 
 19 vols., Pickering Club Classics, 1905.] 
 
 Clarissa Harlowe ; or, the History of a Young Lady. 1748 
 
 Richardson's masterpiece — ^the history of a beautiful woman sacrificed to a heartless libertine — 
 written in letters, with a stronger leavening of dialogue, but the same minute, methodical 
 realism in the anatomizing of mental states. Richardson describes the play of impulse 
 and feeling with the same superabundance of relevant and irrelevant detail as Defoe used 
 in describing physical occurrences. Dr. Johnson said that a single letter in one of his 
 novels contained more knowledge of the human heart than the whole of Tom Jones. The 
 book had enormous influence on European literature, inspiring Rousseau and arousing 
 the enthusiasm of Diderot. [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 The History of Sir Charles Grandison, Bart. I753 
 
 Undertaken as a retort to those critics who thought Lovelace, the undoer of Clarissa, too 
 attractive : Richardson's idea of a complete gentleman. Sir Charles is a wealthy and 
 accomplished man of fashion, endowed with every possible virtue, adored by women, 
 etc. He marries a heroine of corresponding perfection. Like Clarissa, it was originally 
 published in seven vols, and contains about fifty characters portrayed with enormous 
 detail. [2s., Routledge (%i, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Swift, Jonathan [1667-1745]. A Tale of a Tub. 1704 
 
 Probably written about 1695. One of the most original and powerful satires ever penned. 
 Swift's exclamation is famous : " Good God, what a genius I had when I wrote that 
 book ! " The most specific object of the satire is formalism and pedantry in religion, 
 the author taking the attitude of a loyal Church of England clergyman and belabouring 
 the Roman Catholics and the Puritans. But the weak points of Anglican Christianity 
 by no means escape censure, and the digressive style admits of the ridicule of all kinds of 
 cant and prejudice. Swift's satire is profoundly philosophical in scope ; it goes to the roots 
 of human nature and is apphcable to all ages of history. The misanthropic prejudice of 
 the book and its irreverence have been severely criticized, even by admirers. A con- 
 summate example of the author's clear, precise, virile prose and deadly logic. [{Carisbrooke 
 Lib.), 2S. 6d., Routledge, 1889 ; (Victoria Lib.), is., Lovell Reeve; 1890.] 
 
 Travels into several remote Nations of the World, by Lemuel Gulliver. 1726 
 
 In the account of his four wonder-countries Swift satirizes contemporary manners and morals, 
 arts and politics — in fact the whole social scheme — from four difierent points of view. 
 The huge Brobdingnagians reduce man to his natural insignificance, the little people of 
 Lilliput parody Europe and its petty broils, in Laputa philosophers are ridiculed, and 
 finally all Swift's hatred and contempt find their satisfaction in degrading humanity to a 
 bestial condition. The mordant satire and wayward humour are for men, but children 
 can appreciate the simple and direct narrative that makes marvels appear quite everyday 
 affairs. Swift's realistic method is an adaptation of Defoe's. See also p. 11, Godwin, 
 Francis. [(Temple Classics), is. 6d. n.. Dent (50c., Macmillan, New York), 1896 ; 2s. 6d.,

 EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF— 1751-1800 
 
 Amory, Thomas [1691-1788]. The Life and Opinions of John Buncle, Esq. 1756-66 
 
 An extraordinary medley of oblique autobiography and disquisitions on religious controversy, 
 philosophy, and mathematics. The subject is, like the author, a bigoted Unitarian, a 
 good liver, and in all respects a character, who marries and buries seven wives and then 
 settles down to a meditative old age. Eating and drinking, the charms of his miscellaneous 
 wives, the comfortable side of nature, and so on, are dilated up^n with untiring gusto 
 The book is probably the finest example of unconscious humour in d,ny literature. [Edited 
 by E. A. Baker (Library of Early Novelists), 6s. n., Routledge {$2, Dutton, New York), 
 1904.] 
 
 Bage, Robert [1728-1801]. Hermsprong ; or, Man as He is Not. 1796 
 
 In some sort an imitation of Richardson ; good in its drawing of feminine character. Bage 
 belonged to the revolutionary school of novelists headed by Godwin and Holcroft, whose 
 teachings were in accoi'd with those of Rousseau and Tom Paine — the rights of man, hfe 
 according to Nature, social equality, etc. This is perhaps the most important of his novels, 
 contrEisting the deficiencies of things as they were with the beauties of an Utopian colony 
 planted among the redskins in North American forests, and extolling the virtues of man 
 in a state of nature. [British Novelists, No. 48, 1810; o.p.] 
 
 Beckford, William [1759-1844]. The History of the Caliph Vathek : an Arabian 
 tale from an unpublished MS. French version finished 1782 
 
 A brilliant medley of Oriental magic and Western comedy. The Sultan Vathek, a despot 
 of portentous attributes, whose court and courtiers are depicted with a mingling of 
 burlesque and Eastern magnificence, commits a series of detestable crimes at the 
 instance of a diabohcal Giaour, who leads him at length to the Hall of Eblis, an inferno 
 whose torments are pictured with Dantesque imagination. Beckford hated women, and his 
 female personages are etched in with vitriolic satire. Written in French, 1782. Pub- 
 lished in English, 1783. [Cassell's Nat. Lib., 6d. ; 2S., Ward & Lock, 1891 ; ed. by R.

 Brooke, Henry [1708-83]. The Fool of QuaUty ; or, The History of Henry, Earl 
 of Moreland. 1765-70 
 
 Brooke was a man of strong individuaUty who was looked upon in the days of George I as a 
 literary luminary, and was famous later as an authority on agrarian and agricultural 
 matters in Ireland. His friend Wesley adopted this book in an abridged form {The History 
 of Henry, Earl of Moreland) as a handbook of the Christian virtues. It purports to describe 
 the education of an ideal nobleman. The hero is brought up by an uncle, who gives him 
 unlimited means for relieving poverty, etc. The pictures of boyhood were unmatched till 
 Hughes wrote Tom Brown's School-days. Very inchoate ; the personal history of this quix- 
 otic young man is overshadowed by frequent homiHes and dissertations on politics, morals, 
 and social ameUoration ; the theology is that of Brooke's future editor, Charles Kingsley — 
 the identity of Goodness and God. [Ed. Kingsley, abridged and with biographical preface 
 (highly eulogistic), 6s., Macmillan, 1873, o.p. ; the same edn., with a new Life of the 
 Author (based on unused family records) by E. A. Baker (Library of Early NoveUsts),

 BuRNEY, Fanny [Mme. D'Arblay; 1752-1840]. Evelina; or, A Young Lady's 
 Entrance into the World. ^77^ 
 
 Miss Burney was a sharp-eyed girl — an indefatigable reader and a precocious writer of poems, 
 plays, and stories for her own amusement — in a family well-off for friends, where she had 
 plentiful opportunities of watching the kind of people to be seen in drawing-rooms, in 
 the streets, and at smart places of entertainment. In Evelina she puts her observations 
 together in a novel with a sketchy plot. Evelina's introduction to town, her visits to 
 relatives and entrance into fashionable society, are the occasion for lively sketches of the 
 surface things of London — its people and pleasures, life in theatre and ballroom, at Maryle- 
 bone Gardens, the Pantheon, etc. ; and of the people of fashion, the eccentrics, the con- 
 ceited, and the vulgar ; the last in particular being sharply satirized in the persons of 
 Evelina's uppish relatives, the Branghtons, with their affected gentility and snobbishness 
 Miss Burney had doubtless read Betsy Thoughtless, by Mrs. Haywood (see p. 15). [3s. 6d.

 BuRNEY, Fanny {continued).- — Cecilia ; or, The Memoirs of an Heiress. 1782 
 
 A more studied and elaborate work. A rich heiress is left to the tender mercies of three 
 guardians, a characteristic trio, who, with the fortune-hunters and admirers besieging her, 
 are sketched with a satirical pen. The comedy of manners is somewhat submerged by the 
 multiplication of characters and the distracting interests of a melodramatic plot. 
 
 In these two novels and in her Diary she gave her best, and there is a complete falling off in 
 Camilla (1796) and The Wanderer (1814), which brought her ;£3ooo apiece, but little credit 
 either then or since. [2 vols. (Bohn's Lib.), 7s., Bell ($2 n., Macmillan, Kew York), 1883 ;

 Day, Thomas [1748-89]. Sandford and Merton. 1783-89 
 
 A pedagogic novel, advocating the adoption of more enlightened methods of education, and 
 appealing to the young with stories and improving talks which set forth the truths and 
 charms of science and virtue. [2s., Routledge (?i, Dutton, New York), n.d. ; Illustrated,

 Godwin, William [1756-1836]. Caleb Williams ; or, Things as They are. 1795 
 
 Not primarily, as Leslie Stephen described it, an imaginative version of The Political Justice 
 (1793). though sociological ideas are at the back of the writer's mind in working out 
 his ghastly climax of oppression and fear. A youth finds his beloved master to be guilty 
 of murder, and is persecuted by the alarmed murderer, until he is compelled reluctantly 
 to denounce him. Then each is overwhelmed by the consciousness of the other's " great- 
 ness of mind." Denounces the inelastic rule of human justice as represented by the law. 
 [Edited by E. A. Baker, 2S., Routledge, 1904.] 
 
 St. Leon : a Tale of the Sixteenth Century. I799 
 
 A tale of the supernatural. A respectable gentleman, a model husband and estimable father, 
 becomes possessed of the elixir of life and the philosopher's stone. But immortality and 
 inexhaustible riches fail to ensure happiness to a human creature. St. Leon is dogged by 
 misfortune, distrusted by his friends, imprisoned by the Inquisition, [o.p.] 
 
 Fleetwood. 1805 
 
 Another sociological novel, dealing with the marriage question. Like Godwin himself, Fleet- 
 wood fails to act up to the theory that wedlock is an unjustifiable bond, [o.p.] 
 
 Goldsmith, Oliver [1728-74]. The Citizen of the World. 1762 
 
 An essay in the supposed Oriental manner then in vogue, consisting of letters from a Chinese 
 philosopher stud3dng Western society in London to his friend at home (cf . Montesquieu's 
 Lettres Persanes) . Sketches of the various aspects of London life, in coffee tavern, drawing- 
 room, streets, and places of public entertainment (cf. Spectator s.nd Tatler), with a mere 
 suggestion of a continuous story. Manners, literature, art, politics, reUgion are handled in 
 the style of a social critic, with interludes of dialogue and the humours of some originals 
 drawn from Ufe, e.g. Beau Tibbs and the Man in Black, the latter perhaps a fancy portrait 
 of himself. [Edited by J. W. M. Gibbs (with Polite Learning), (Bohn's Lib.), 3s. 6d.,

 The Vicar of Wakefield. 1766 
 
 The Vicar is a lovable mixture of virtue and foible, shrewdness and simphcity, unselfishness and 
 vanity ; a blameless and pathetic figure, who is tried like Job by undeserved misfortune. 
 He and his family, a group of simple, rustic characters, drawn with dehcate touches of 
 eccentricity, make an idyllic picture of affectionate family concord — a picture tinged with 
 a regretful longing that often breaks out into poetry. The idyll is rudely disturbed by 
 the villainy of a seducer ; troubles come tliick and fast, but after sounding the depths 
 of affliction all are restored to happiness and prosperity in the end. The Vicar was drawn 
 from Goldsmith's father, and doubtless some of the other characters were sketched from

 Graves or Greaves, Richard. The Spiritual Quixote ; or, The Summer's Ramble 
 of Mr. Geoffry Wildgoose : a comic romance. 1772 
 
 Like Smollett's Launcelot Greaves, a clumsy satire on the Don Quixote plan, the young Oxonian 
 Wildgoose adopting Methodism and perambulating Gloucestershire and Somerset with 
 his trusty Sancho, Jeremiah Tugwell, the cobbler. Episodes in the conventional novelistic 
 style are tacked on, and there are interesting denunciations of contemporary follies in 
 manners and dress. Graves was rector of Claverton, near Bath, [o.p.] 
 
 Hartley House. Calcutta : a Novel of the days of Warren Hastings. 1789' 
 
 The author of this novel has never been discovered. It was of some note in its day, and throws-

 notes by J. Macfarlane, Thacker, Calcutta, 7s. 6d. n.] 
 
 HoLCROFT, Thomas [1745-1809]. Anna St. Ives. 1792^ 
 
 Hugh Trevor. . 1794-7 
 
 Holcroft was the most intransigent of the philosophic radicals. These were among the earhest 
 
 of many propagandist novels animated by the creed of Rousseauism, expounding revolu- 
 tionary principles of government and social organization, attacking law, property, and 
 the class system. The first paints an ecstatic picture of mankind living in Utopian bhss, 
 sans government, sans laws, and, above all, sans property. Frank Henley is the representa- 
 tive of pristine virtue, Uke Bage's Hermsprong. The second story gives the alternative 
 picture and is unsparing in violent contrasts. Cf. Godwin's novels (above), [o.p.] 
 
 Inchbald, Ehzabeth [1753-1821]. A Simple Story. 1791 
 
 A pleasing example of the novel of sensibiUty. A coquettish girl, whose foolishness is charged' 
 against the old boarding-schools and their obsolete methods of education, marries her 
 guardian, a Catholic priest, after tormenting him with her caprices. She is unfaithful and 
 dies in misery, leaving a legacy of misfortune to her daughter. Mrs. Inchbald wrote bad 
 plays for the stage, and there is a theatrical manner about this one successful novel of hers- 
 that is curious but not unpleasing. [2s. 6d., Routledge, 1884, o.p. ; with Nature and Art,

 Nature and Art. 179& 
 
 A formal exhibition of the defects of our accepted system of social morahty, contrasting 
 
 the characters of two cousins, one educated in a deanery, the other imbibing the truths 
 of nature (according to Rousseau's creed) on an island inhabited by savages. Contains 
 one scene of extreme pathos, where a girl is condemned to death by the man who seduced 
 her. [Cassell's National Library, 6d., 1886.] 
 
 Johnson, Dr. Samuel [1709-84]. Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia. 1759 
 
 A lay sermon on " the Vanity of Human Wishes," written when Johnson was in profound 
 sorrow for the death of his mother; the most majestic example of his prose. Belongs to 
 the philosophic meditations on human destiny, in the form of allegory, dialogue, or fable, 
 in which the periodical writers loved to indulge. The Prince escapes from his Happy 
 Valley in quest of deeds worthy of his powers, but returns to his paradise again with a 
 sager acceptance of man's limitations. [Edited by G. Birkbeck Hill, with introduction

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Johnstone, Charles [c. lyig-c. 1800]. Chrysal; or, The Adventures of a Guinea. 
 
 1760-5 
 Not a novel in the proper sense, but a disguised chronicle of contemporary events loosely 
 strung together on the autobiography of a guinea as it passes from hand to hand. John- 
 stone's plan had been adopted already in the adventures of the halfpenny and the shilling 
 in Richard Bathurst and Addison's stories in The Adventurer and The Tatler. The present 
 edition gives a key to most of the characters, which include General Wolfe and Miss 
 Lowther (afterwards Duchess of Bolton), the Countess of Yarmouth (mistress of George II), 
 Frederick the Great, Ferdinand of Brunswick, Byng, Chatham, Whitefield, Sandwich, 
 Henry Fox, Lord George Sackville, Charles Churchill, Bute, Sir Francis Dashwood, 
 Wilkes, Bubb Dodington and the other members of the Hell-fire Club (for which this is 
 the principal document), Dr. John Hill, the famous quack, Foote, and many other leading 
 people. The most notorious episodes of contemporary history are dished up by Johnstone 
 in a very prejudiced and scurrilous way ; but the.book has many good points, such as its 
 incisive portraiture, and throws light on public opinion at the time of its writing. An 
 earlier novel of the same kind was The History of Pompey the Little, or the Life and A dventures 
 of a Lap-dog (1751), and later there were The Adventures of a Black Coat (1760), The Ad- 
 ventures of a Bank-note (1770), The Life and Adventures of a Cat (1781), The Adventures of 
 a Rupee (1782), Memoirs of a Flea (1785), etc. [Chrysal, edited with introduction by

 Lee, Sophia. The Recess. 1783-6 
 
 One of the earUest English historical novels, interesting now as a curious reUc of literary

 Norfolk. [6 vols.: o.p.] 
 
 Leland, Rev. Thomas [1722-85, probably the author]. Longsword, Earl of Salis- 
 bury : an Historical Romance. 1762 
 
 Leland wrote a History of Ireland from the Invasion of Henry II (1768). Longsword is the earliest 
 historical romance produced by the first stirrings of romanticism — ^it came out in the year 
 of Macpherson's Ossian. It is a Waverley novel in the germ — a picturesque romance of 
 feudal times, poor in execution, but not without promise in its crude sketches of splendid 
 dramatic scenes, [o.p.] 
 
 Lennox, Charlotte [n^e Ramsay, daughter of Lieut.-Govemor of New York ; 
 1720-1804]. The Female Quixote ; or, The Adventures of Arabella. 1752 
 
 An imitation of Cervantes. Arabella's mental nutriment has been romances of the ScudSry 
 type, and thence she has got all her ideas of life. In every stranger she sees a knight- 
 errant, and romantic adventures in the most trivial events, herself committing extravagant 
 follies until restored to reason by the sermons of her friends, when she marries a worthy 
 man. [o.p.] 
 
 Lewis, IMatthew Gregory [1775-1818]. Ambrosio ; or, The ]\Ionk. 1795 
 
 A Gothic tale of terror that differs from the Radcliffian type in being unsentimental and not 
 attempting to explain away the supernatural horrors. A coarse melodrama — Ambrosio 
 is an abaiidoned monk whose licentious crimes meet their due in his being carried oflf by 
 the devil. Lewis also translated from the German The Bravo of Venice, 1804. [Cassell's

 Mackenzie, Henry [1745-1831]. Man of Feeling. 1771 
 
 An attempt to rival the fashionable sentimentality of Steme. A disjointed story ; the hero 
 a shy, sentimental youth, absolutely faultless ; the heroine correspondingly superfine. 
 He dies of joy when she admits she loves him. His various experiences of life are set 
 forth in scenes of laboured pathos ; the characters ideaUzed so far that the reader's sym-

 dealt with, however, from the pathetic standpoint and without the fashionable impropriety,

 Mackenzie, Henry (continued). — Julia de Roubign^. 1777 
 
 A novel in letters which Talfourd. Christopher North, and Allan Cunningham thought highly

 help her distressed father, and then her first love reappears. The husband out of jealousy 
 poisons her, and afterwards learning her innocence puts an end to himself. All these

 A didactic novel reflecting on the education of youth. Zeluco, the lurid villain, and his perse- 
 cuted and engaging wife Laura are a pair of stock characters of conventional fiction, like 
 the two Scots, Whig and Jacobite, who fight a duel over the reputation of Mary Queen of 
 Scots, [o.p.] 
 
 Paltock, Robert [probably the author]. The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins. 
 
 1751 
 An imitation of Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver's Travels. Wilkins is carried in a boat to a strange

 who can fly. One of them, a winged woman, falls into his hands, and lives with him as

 A sham historical novel mixing up baronial and highland life on the north-east coast of Scot- 
 land with the courtly and chivalrous society of Gothic romance. Clan revenge provides 
 the plot interest, [o.p.] Mrs. Radcliffe is of great importance in the history of romantic 
 literature. She laid her plots in remote periods, and in countries she had never seen, thus 
 avoiding any responsibility to fact. Picturesque ruins, distant mountains, forest-shrouded 
 landscapes are described with rich but monotonous colour, in a semi-lyrical style. The 
 scenic glamour prepares the reader for sensational occurrences that conjure up feelings of 
 awe and terror ; but in the sequel she invariably dispels our apprehensions by some 
 commonplace explanation of her ghosts and other mysteries, [o.p.] 
 
 A Sicilian Romance. 1790 
 
 A wicked marquis locks his wife up in his castle on the north coast of Sicily and marries again. 
 Groans are heard from mysterious doors and ghostly figures appear. Ultimately his children 
 liberate their mother, and retribution falls on the criminals. Date about 1580. Ideal 
 descriptions of scenery give space and amplitude to the incidents, [o.p.] 
 
 The Romance of the Forest. 1791 
 
 A sequestered ruin of an abbey, a nefarious marquis and a poetical heroine, a murder, a 
 mysterious skeleton, and eloquent word-pictures of the Alps of Savoy. About the same 
 date. [6d., Routledge (1877), 1882; ed. D. Murray Rose (Half-forgotten Books), 2S., 
 Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York), 1904.] 
 
 The Mysteries of Udolpho. 1794 
 
 Centres in a gloomy castle in the Apennines, the haunt of brigands, where the heroine is im- 
 mured by a sinister Italian. Haunted chambers and a mystic veil play blood-curdling 
 parts among the horrors. The idyllic scenes interspersed might have been imagined by 
 Rousseau. The Pjrrenees, the Alps, Venice, and the Apennines supply an harmonious 
 environment. Date about 1580-90. [is., Routledge, 1878; ed. D. Murray Rose (Half- 
 forgotten Books), 2S., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York), 1903.] 
 
 The Italian ; or. The Confessional of the Black Penitent. 1797 
 
 The plot is a young noble's love for a penniless orphan, and the unscrupulous efforts of his 
 mother and of a demoniac villain, Schedoni, to thwart it. Attempted assassinations, the 
 abduction and imprisonment of the heroine in a ghastly dungeon, the terrors of the 
 Inquisition and perilous escapes provide the requisite sensations. Naples and the coast 
 are the theme of the scenic rhapsodies. Date about 1764. [6d., Routledge (1877), 1884, 
 2S., id. : both o.p.] 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Reeve, Clara [i 738-1 803]. The Old English Baron. 1777 
 
 First entitled The Champion of Virtue ; a very early and crude attempt to give a real historical 
 setting to the Gothic romance by embodying the events of the Wars of the Roses (1455-85). 
 It is a representation of contemporary life and manners, with an admixture of super- 
 natural incident by which a murder is discovered and an heir restored to his estates. 
 [Cassell's National Lib., 6d. With Walpole's Castle of Otranto, 6d., Warne, 1872 ; with 
 the same, illus. with etchings, 7s. 6d., 8vo, Nimmo, 1883 : o.p.] 
 
 Roger de Clarendon. 1793 
 
 A dull novel made up from her reading in Smollett's History of England, stiffened with material 
 from Froissart and Holinshed. [o.p.] 
 
 Roche, Regina Maria [1765-1845]. The Children of the Abbey. 1796 
 
 Rather a famous example of the end of the eighteenth century romantic school founded by 
 Mrs. RadcUffe. " Extremely sentimental, mysterious, and improbable, but with interest 
 well sustained and much sympathy, at high pressure, with virtue in distress" (lies). The 
 lady was Irish, and places like Dublin, Enniskillen, Bray, are mentioned ; but the local 
 colour is nil. [25., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 Sheridan, IVErs. Frances [^tde Chamberlaine, 1724-66]. Memoirs of Mrs. Sydney 
 Biddulph. 1761 
 
 Written in opposition to the theory of poetic justice. " Every affliction is accumulated on 
 the innocent heroine, in order to show that neither prudence nor foresight, nor the best 
 dispositions of the human heart, are sufficient to defend from the evils of life" (Dunlop). 
 The Abb6 Prevost adapted the story sub tit. Memoires pour servir A I'Histoire de la Vertu : 
 Extraits du Journal d'une Dame (1762). [o.p.] 
 
 Smith, Charlotte [fUe Turner ; 1749-1806]. Ethelinde ; or. The Recluse of the Lake, 
 
 1789 
 
 The heroine's troubles in losing her lover and being persecuted by the attentions of a married 
 man, all finally removed by the lover's unexpected reappearance, are the pith of this senti- 
 mental story. Grasmere and the Lake mountains furnish the setting. [5 vols. : o.p.] 
 
 The Old Manor House. 1793 
 
 The most prominent figure is a proud and autocratic old lady owning vast estates in the south 
 of England — a very complete portrait drawn without satire. The destination of the 
 property and the loves and adventures of the hero, who ultimately inherits, are the prin- 
 cipal matters. He is engaged in the American War of Independence. [4 vols. : o.p.] Other 
 novels by her are : Emmeline, or the Orphan of the Castle [4 vols., 1788] ; Celestina [4 vols., 
 1791] ; Desmond (favouring the spirit of the French Revolution), [3 vols., 1792] ; The 
 Banished Man [4 vols., 1795] ; Montalbert [3 vols., 1795] ; The Young Philosopher [4 vols., 
 1798]. [All o.p.] 
 
 Smollett, Tobias George [1721-71]. The Adventures of Roderick Random. 1748 
 A string of picturesque adventures in the comic style of Cervantes and Le Sage, but more 
 realistic, composed largely of personal reminiscences, particularly of the disastrous ex- 
 pedition to Cartagena (1741). Smollett has never been surpassed in a certain kind of 
 coarse, graphic realism, seasoned with an hilarious spirit of low comedy, and caricature of 
 people he knew in the flesh. His savage satire and inexhaustible invective produced many 
 figures that have no semblance of life, and also such wonderful grotesques as Captain 
 Bowhng, Commodore Trunnion, Lieut. Hatchway, and the boatswain Tom Pipes. [Ed. 
 G. Saintsbury, 3 vols., f'cap 8vo, 7s. 6d. n., Gibbings, 1895 ; (Bohn's Lib.), 3s. 6d., Bell

 The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle ; in which are included the Memoirs of 
 
 a Lady of Quality. 1751 
 
 Into this second novel he worked the same kind of material, adding a larger proportion of 
 imaginary details. Peregrine's schooling, his courtships (with most unsavoury interludes), 
 his travels and amorous exploits on the Continent and in London, make a humorous, but 
 unedifying, story. The realism is Hogarthian ; the caricature, it has been said — but this 
 is only a superficial impression — gives us comic beasts rather than men. [2 vols. (Bohn's 
 
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF

 Smollett, Tobias George (continued). — The Adventures of Ferdinand, Count Fathom. 
 
 1753 
 Somewhat resembles the Jonathan Wild of Fielding. It is the history of an unmitigated • 
 scoundrel, offspring of a repulsive old camp-follower. In his adventures and misdeeds, 
 the broad comedy is superseded by a romantic, or rather Gothic, handling of mysterious 
 and blood-curdling incident. [Ed. G. Saintsbury, 2 vols., f'cap 8vo, 5s. n., Gibbings, 
 1895 ; 5s., 8vo, Routledge ($2, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Adventures of Launcelot Greaves. 1762 
 
 A clumsy imitation of Don Quixote. Sir Launcelot, a rustic squire, rambles about the 
 country as a redresser of grievances, and has an absurd rival in the novice Captain Crowe. 
 Like Smollett's other novels, full of scurrilous satire of everything and everybody. [With 
 Adventures of an Atom, 5s., 8vo, Routledge ($2 , Dutton, New York).] 
 
 The Expedition of Humphry Clinlier. I77^ 
 
 Written while he was dying — a riper book, more restrained, yet stiU pungent enough in its 
 
 satire. The travels and observations of a Welsh family, a group of deUghtful oddities, 
 through England, Scotland, and Wales. The sarcastic descriptions of towns and peoples 
 are doubly comic from being in letters written by the different characters, with absurdly 
 incompatible points of view. Parodies the language and manners of the Methodists. The 
 Scottish portion is particularly familiar and racy, dealing with the scenes of Smollett's 
 younger days. [Ed. G. Saintsbury, 2 vols., 5s. n., f'cap 8vo, Gibbings, 1896 ; (Bohn's Lib.), 
 3s. 6d., Bell ($1 n., Macmillan, New York), 1895 ; 5s., 8vo, Routledge ($2, Dutton, New

 Sterne, Laurence [1713-68]. The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gent. 
 
 1759-67 
 A long and eccentric novel in which the author plays incessant jokes with the order and 
 method of his narrative — the whimsical masterpiece of an inveterate jester. Tristram's 
 father and uncle Toby are the figures on which the eye is chiefly focussed ; and with Dr. 
 Slop, Corporal Trim, Mrs. Shandy and Yorick, make an extraordinary and inimitable 
 group of characters, humorous idealisms of a rare kind infinitely surpassing any caricature 
 or burlesque. A medley of burlesque and random drollery, satirical sporting with 
 human virtues and foibles, philosophical digressions, with little unity or plot. Sterne's 
 pecuUar sentimentality is unique, though many writers have tried to copy it, e.g. Mackenzie 
 and Xavier de Maistre. [Edited by G. Saintsbury, 3 vols., 7s. 6d. n., Dent, 1894;

 A Sentimental Journey through Fremce and Italy. 1768 
 
 Sterne himself is the traveller, and the journey with its incidents (many of which are not very 
 chaste) is a vehicle for his sentimental moralizing on the absurdities, the elusive humour, 
 and the pathos of human life, An admirable specimen of his style, and on the whole more 
 pleasing to the non-esoteric reader than the more freakish and grotesque Tristram Shandy.

 Walpole, Horace, Earl of Orford [1717-97]. The Castle of Otranto. 1764 
 
 A famous example of the Gothic romance of mystery and terror. Its extravagant events are 
 supposed to occur in Italy in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, but the historical setting 
 is quite imaginary. Manfred, a tyrannical baron, his iU-used wife and beautiful daughter, 
 with a gigantic apparition that haunts the castle, are the puppets in the tragedy. Important 
 in the history of the romantic revival, but not more important than the Rev. Thos. 
 Leland's Longsword, an Historical Romance, of two years earlier, which, however, is 
 hardly readable now. [Cassell's Nat. Lib., 6d. ; with Reeve's Old English Baron, see 
 p. 22.]

 NINETEENTH CENTURY, FIRST QUARTER— 1801-Z825 
 
 Austen, Jane [1775-1817]. Sense and Sensibility. 1811 
 
 A study of character and manners in a very delicate, precise, miniature style ; the characters 
 just everyday people, drawn as they are without exaggeration ; the minute difierences 
 of human nature delicately pencilled ; the satire directed against mere commonplace 
 foolishness, conceit, and vulgarity, rather than vice or eccentricity. In truth, the social 
 failings and personal foibles are self-revealed rather than satirized, and make spontaneous 
 comedy. In the comparison of the two sisters there may be implied an ironical criticism 
 of the sentimentalists of the school of Richardson, etc. One is Judgment, self-control, 
 sanity ; the other Imagination, feeling, sentimentality : the very different course of 
 their respective love affairs points the moral. Northdnger Abbey was written before this. 
 
 Pride and Prejudice. 1813 
 
 A priggish lover and a high-spirited girl are brought together at last, in spite of antipathy, 
 by the natural growth of esteem. But the interest of passion and plot is a small thing 
 with Miss Austen compared with the observation of character and humour, making foibles 
 and vulgar selfishness a perfect deMght to the reader — ^take, e.g., the selfish father, Mr. 
 Bennet, the absurd clerical toady Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet the anxious mother, and even 
 the failings of the too exalted heroine. 
 
 Mansfield Park. 1814 
 
 Brings into comparison and contrast the several ranks in the upper middle class, by means 
 of the different marriage unions of three sisters. All three are selfish in different ways ; 
 and their families make an interesting series of nicely differentiated characters. There 
 is some pathos tempering the comedy, and the comedy is not without its serious side, 
 which shows the ordinary trivial-seeming events of domestic life in their true importance. 
 A quiet love story, as usual, runs through the fabric. 
 
 Emma. 1816 
 
 The heroine, a pretty, wilful girl of sterUng character, whose rage for matchmaking and 
 aptitude for mistakes bring herself and her friends into many scrapes, foi: which she 
 often suffers. Amiable egotists, harmless fools, conceited flirts, and sentimental maidens 
 make excellent comedy. 
 
 ■ Northanger Abbey. 1818 
 
 Though not pubUshed until 1818, this was really Miss Austen's first attempt at novel-writing. 
 Begun as a burlesque of Mrs. Radcliffe, it developed into the genre which was to be pecu- 
 liarly Jane Austen's — the portrayal in sober and faithful tints of the quiet middle-class 
 life she knew ; the satire restrained, the comedy all-pervasive. The heroine is a girl 
 in the first innocent bloom of youth, whose entry into life is attended by the collapse of 
 many illusions. 
 
 Persuasion. 1818 
 
 A tender, wistful tale, more of a love story than is Miss Austen's wont, with a vein of refined 
 
 pathos, though the issue is happy. Anne Eliot parts from her lover, but after years of 
 absence he returns, old love reasserts its sway, and they marry. 
 
 Lady Susan ; The Watsons. 1871 
 
 The former is a novelette in letters, supposed to have been written early ; never published 
 
 by the authoress. The subject, an unpleasant sort of intrigue, is uncharacteristic, and 
 Prof. Goldwin Smith rightly calls the book a mere exercise. The Watsons also is a mere 
 fragment, the beginning of a thoroughly characteristic study of family life in a country 
 town ; provincial vulgarity and the revulsion which a cultivated girl feels on coming back 
 to a homely and ill-mannered family are the principal themes.

 Barrett, Eaton Stannard [1786-1820]. The Heroine ; or, The Adventures of 
 Cherubina. 1813 
 
 A burlesque attack on the blood-curdUng romances fashionable at the time. Cherubina is 
 . crazed by reading these, disowns her yeoman father, adopts a high-flown name, and has 
 
 many mirthful adventures in London and in a deserted castle, where she tries to establish 
 herself with a retinue of attendants. Barrett was an Irish poet. [With introduction by

 Edgeworth, Maria [i 767-1849]. The Parent's Assistant. 1796 
 
 Simple tales, with very obvious morals, adapting her father's maxims to the understanding of

 Purple Jar, and Lazy Laurence. [is. 6d. n., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).

 Castle Rackrent. 1800 
 
 A novel of much higher pretensions, giving us, in the annals of an Irish house, an immortal 
 picture of the broken-down gentry. The character-portraits of Sir Condy and the other 
 squireens and their retainers, and the anecdotes of boisterous, irresponsible life, put into 
 the mouth of an old servitor who is himself a character, are manifestly the work of an 
 intimate observer. [(Ariel Booklets), 75c. (is. 5d. n.), 32mo, Putman, 1906. With The

 Edn., 2s. n. (80c.) id., 1903.] 
 
 Belinda. 1801 
 
 Essentially didactic, embodying her ideas on woman's sphere and duties and on moral phil- 
 osophy in general. More of a novel than the foregoing, yet manifestly constructed to 
 show off certain contrasts of character — Belinda, the ideal of maidenhood and womanly 
 good sense, the fast Society woman who chaperons her, the profligates and fatuous beaux, 
 the admirable wife and mother, the burlesque assertor of woman's rights, ,and the girl, 
 brought up like a hothouse flower, who goes to the bad. [3s. 6d., Routledge, 1893. Illus- 
 trated by Chris Hammond, 2S. 6d. ($1.50), Macmillan (1897) ; 2 vols. 5s. n.. Dent, 1893 ;

 The Absentee. 1801 
 
 Exposes in all its ill-consequences one of the rankest abuses of Irish landlordism. ; Lord 
 Clombrony, though fond of Ireland, is an absentee because his vulgar wife hankers after 
 fashionable life in " Lon'on " ; the tenants meanwhile are left to the rapacity of dis- 
 honest agents, and the estate goes to ruin. Shows up the hoUowness of Society life, and 
 satirizes the contemporary fop, the empty-headed soldier, fortune-hunters male and 
 female, and slaves of fashion hving beyond their means. A kindlier humour is lavished 
 on Larry, the postilion. Sir Terence O'Fay, the good-natured and witty hanger-on, and 
 that fine Irish gentleman. Count O'Halloran. Written originally as a play. [2s. 6d. n.. 
 Dent, 1893; (v. also Castle Rackrent); $1.50, Routledge, New York; 25c., Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 — Popular Tales. 1803 
 
 Depicts the rustic world, farm Ufe, fields, cottage children, and quiet unstirred by great 
 
 events. Simple themes and simple language, child-like characters and the patent moral, 
 
 , make these taleS specially suitable for the young (e.g. Lame Jervas, The Limerick Gloves, 
 
 The Lottery, To-morrow, Out of Debt out of Danger). [Illustrated by Chris Hammond,

 Written to confute Madame de Stael's Delphine with its advanced views on women. [2s. 6d. 
 n.. Dent, 1893.] 
 
 Tales of Fashionable Life. 1809 
 
 Exposes the frivolity, extravagance, and worthlessness of Society people, and extols common- 
 sense. Thronged with fine ladies, who flirt and gad about in male attire, either going to 
 the bad irretrievably or becoming reformed. Ennui is the empty life of a voluptuary, 
 wearily striving to satisfy his mind with pleasure, and his tragic awakening. The un- 
 thrifty but genial Ufe of the Hibernian peasant furnishes the human contrasts. [4 vols., 
 8s., Routledge, o.p. ; Ennui, 2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1893.] 
 
 Vivian. 1809 
 
 The sad career of a vain, weak man, who with the best intentions in the world manages to ruin 
 himself, lose the girl he loves, run away with a fashionable woman, and marry a lady 
 he does not care for. One of the novels that Sir Walter Scott praised in a memorable' 
 saying. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1893.] 
 
 Patronage. 1814 
 
 A typical example of moralistic fiction, its merits and defects ; self-reliance the thesis. The 
 
 chief characters are accentuated types of good and bad principles, and each gets his 
 deserts. Two of the characters are fine and lifelike. Lord Oldborough, a haughty and 
 ambitious minister, and Buckhurst Falconer, a warm-hearted but unstable man, whose 
 moral decadence moves compassion. Hardly an Irish character in the book, which 
 accordingly lacks her usual vivacity, and is, moreover, very long. [2 vols., 7s., Rout- 
 ledge, 1893, o.p. ; 2 vols., 5s. n.. Dent, 1893.] 
 
 Harrington. 1817 
 
 Task work, written as an apology for the Jews, in response to a Jewish lady who reproached 
 her with having made so many Jews ridiculous. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1893.] 
 
 Ormond. 1817 
 
 Contains King Corny (another Sir Condy) and Sir Ulick O'Shane among her oddest and most 
 
 humorous creations, and some of her gayest and brightest scenes ; the dialogue full of 
 humour and witty drollery. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1893. Illustrated by Carl Schloesser, 
 2s. 6d. ($1.50), Macmillan; Pocket Edn., 2s. n. (Soc), id., 1903.] 
 
 Early Lessons ; and Moral Tales. 1822-6 
 
 Harry and Lucy {begun early but not completed till 1826) is a moral tale urging children to be 
 
 their own teachers. Frank and Rosamund contains a certain allowance of entertainment 
 with a full measure of edification. [Each 2s., is., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Helen. 1834 
 
 A poor story with good character studies, written after her father's death, and so without 
 
 his wonted counsel and encouragement. The moral aim is to show what social troubles 
 arise from addiction to fibs and " white lies." [3s. 6d., Routledge, 1893, o.p. ; Illus- 
 trated by Chris Hammond, 2s. 6d. {$1.50), Macmillan, Pocket Edn., 2s. n. (80c.), id., 
 1903 ; 2 vols., 5s. n.. Dent, 1893.] 
 
 Ferrier, Susan Edmondstone [1782-1854]. Marriage. 1818 
 
 A rambling, ill-constructed novel, which, however, attains its main object, that is, to bring 
 out contrasts of manners and character, the sharpest opposition being between the young 
 lady, a spoilt child of English fashionable life, who elopes with the son of a Highland 
 laird and is brought to live in his uncouth home, and the set of originals she finds there, 
 rough, honest, overflowing with fussy kindness, and with humours that delight the reader 
 but disgust the heroine. 
 
 The Inheritance. 1824 
 
 Here Miss Ferrier manages her plot better, but the comedy of manners is of the same com- 
 plexion. An heiress is all but ousted from her inheritance, is deserted by her mercenary 
 lover, but marries the right one. The real entertainment, however, is not in the story 
 but in the highly original examples of Scottish character, eccentrics, vulgarians, senti- 
 mental misses, a pompous and loquacious lord, specimens of county Society, a nabob and 
 his family, and the writer's masterpiece, the indefatigable gossip and busybody. Miss 
 Pratt.

 Ferrier, Susan Edmondstone {continued). — Destiny ; or, The Chief's Daughter. 
 
 1831 
 Rather a falling ofE from the other two. The plot turns on the title to certain estates, and 
 the fortunes of a young lady who eventually marries the rediscovered heir. Sketches of 
 clan and village life, the chief's household and retainers in their faded magnificence, 
 divers satirical portraits, and a fierce caricature of a Presbyterian minister, are in her old 
 style.

 Galt, John [1779-1839]. The Ayrshire Legatees. 1820 
 
 Gait may be described as the earUest Kailyard novelist, if the honour is not more justly 
 Scott's, on the strength of his faithful and humorous pictures of lowland character and 
 racy representation of dialect. This novel, modelled on Humphry Clinker, tells how the 
 Pringle family went to London, saw the " Uons," and what they thought about the pro- 
 ceedings on George Ill's death, and the divorce of Queen Caroline. Displays the same 
 keen relish of mother-wit and goodness, and the same detailed painting of personality as 
 The Annals (written earlier, published later). [Issued with Annals of the Parish in all 
 modem editions.] 
 
 The Annals of the Parish. 1821 
 
 An attempt to rival The Vicar of Wakefield : pictures the characters of an Ayrshire village 
 (1760-1810), from the minister downwards, with raciness, humour, and pathos ; in the form 
 of a journal by the village minister, a kindly old man, whose three wives are drawn at 
 full length. Contains a touching story of an old widow, whose husband is drowned, and 
 who by heroic efforts brings up her family well. The American War and its effects, 
 smuggling, the invasion of utilitarianism and philosophic radicalism, come in 
 for discussion and anecdote. [With The Ayrshire Legatee. With introduction by

 The Provost. 1822 
 
 The Annals, so to speak, in another edition, by a magistrate who chronicles half a century 
 of life in a Galloway township. He is a shrewd and observant Scot, but less reflective 
 and narrower in outlook than the minister. The cases that come before him, the careers 
 of local unfortunates, village politics, and the jobbery which affords him his little pickings, 
 are his favourite texts, [v. infra.] 
 
 Sir Andrew Wylie. 1822 
 
 A novel of broader humour, not free from coarseness, with a witty character in Sir Andrew. 
 (Lord Sandford is a sketch of Lord Blessington.) [v. infra.] 
 
 The Entail. 1823 
 
 Contains one of the author's most humorous characters, Leddy Grippy, an inimitable Scots- 
 woman, [v. infra.] 
 
 The Last of the Lairds. 1826 
 
 Here Gait paints in his humorous way an old-fashioned set of people, grouped round a de- 
 cayed, ignorant, and empty-headed old laird. Many of them are well endowed with racy 
 individuality ; but a certain talkative and meddlesome Scotswoman is the masterpiece.

 Gleig, Rev. George Robert [i 796-1888]. The Subaltern. 1825 
 
 Less a novel than actual reminiscences of the last stages of the Peninsular War, in which the 
 author (afterwards Chaplain-General of the Forces) served as ensign — the siege of San

 A strange and ghastly novel depicting a man afflicted with religious mania, who believes 
 himself attended and urged into crime by a familiar spirit. He murders various people, 
 among them his brother, and then, accused and about to be convicted of still more heinous 
 offences, commits suicide. Prof. Saintsbury suggests that Lockhart had a principal hand

 Hope, Thomas [1770-1831]. Anastasius ; or. Memoirs of a Modem Greek. 1819 
 
 A faithful picture of Greek and Turkish life in the Levant. Anastasius is a type of the modem 
 Greek as Byron drew him, a thorough rascal, cunning and treacherous. The long and 
 elaborate story of his adventures is fuU of digressions describing manners and ways of 
 life with a Dutch love of detail. Hope was Dutch in origin and a great Eastern traveller,

 Adam Blair. 1822 
 
 A gloomy story of insensate passion and remorse ; the protagonists, a Presbyterian minister 
 and Charlotte Campbell, wife of another man. The harvest of retribution is terrible. 
 Blair confesses publicly, and tries to expiate his crime by resigning the pastorate and 
 becoming a farmer. Characters and natural scenery contribute powerfully to the 
 sombre effect. [2s., Blackwood : o.p.] 
 
 Reginald Dalton. 1823 
 
 Oxford undergraduate life ; a tale that has some pathetic touches, but, as a whole, has much

 Maturin, Charles Robert {Irish ; 1782-1824]. Melmoth, the Wanderer. 1820 
 
 One of the most powerful of the Gothic romances of mystery and terror which Mrs. Radcliffe, 
 Monk Lewis, Croly, and others made fashionable at the time of the " Revival of Wonder." 
 The motive is the old one of a supernatural compact whereby a man's Ufe is prolonged 
 through centuries. The writer's imagination revels in the mysterious and the horrible, 
 and, unlike Mrs. Radcliffe, leaves his mysteries unexplained. [3 vols., 24s., Macmillan,

 A series of essays giving the finest descriptions extant of the natural surroundings, the people, 
 high and low, the manners and customs, festivals — in short, the whole life of a Berkshire 
 village in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Realistic and pictorial in manner, 
 full of keen and loving observation ; the style polished and repoUshed with exquisite art ; 
 yet purely external and devoid of dramatic interest, but for which deficiency they would 
 challenge comparison with Mrs. Gaskell's Cranford.

NINETEENTH CENTURY, FIRST QUARTER 
 
 Moore, Thomas {continued). — ^The Epicurean. 1827 
 
 An essay in the manner of Vathek, supposed to be translated from a Greek manuscript found in 
 Egypt. Supernatural and other adventures of an Epicurean philosopher who embraces 
 Christianity and is persecuted by the Memphian hierarchy. Time, third century, reign of 
 Diocletian. It is really a prose adaptation of his poem Alciphron, afterwards pubUshed 
 along with it. [2s. 6d., Longman, 1864 : o.p.] 
 
 More, Hannah [1745-1833]. Coelebs in Search of a Wife. 1808 
 
 The only readable survivor of a series of didactic stories having little of the art of Miss Edge- 
 worth. Coelebs visits a number of families and inspects the young ladies, the character- 
 sketches and evaluations of personal qualities, humorous exposure of faults and affectations, 
 being the results of his survey. [2s. 66.., James Blackwood, 1879.] 
 
 Morgan, Lady [Sydney, nSe Owenson; 1778-1859]. The Wild Irish Girl. 1806 
 
 A sentimental love-tale by a perfervid girl with a mania for reviving all the ancient tokens of 
 nationality. Glorvina, in whom Lady Morgan's contemporaries discerned much self- 
 portraiture, is the last descendant of a line of Connaught princes, for centuries at feud 
 with the earls who dispossessed them. The heir to the earldom woos her in disguise, and 
 after romantic vicissitudes they are publicly united. [2s., Routledge, o.p. ; Si. 50, 
 Haverty, New York.] 
 
 O'Donnel. 1814 
 
 The impoverished scion of a princely house, intended to typify the heroic virtues of the 
 native aristocracy. A plea for Catholic emancipation ; represents the young Irishmen 
 oppressed by penal laws and driven into foreign service. The hero's career is consum- 
 mated by a fortunate marriage with a dowager-duchess. Much idealized, yet truly Irish, 
 sketches of all ranks ; the society chapters vulgar in tone and full of broad comedy. The 
 governess transformed by marriage into a duchess is the author's own portrait, [is., 
 Downey : o.p.] 
 
 Florence M'Carthy. 1816 
 
 A kidnapped heir asserts his claim to a peerage and estates, and unwittingly woos the romantic 
 Florence, to whom he was betrothed in his youth. Among the comic people, Crawley is 
 memorable as Lady Morgan's caricature of her enemy J. W. Croker. [o.p. ; $1.50, Sadlier,

 The O'Briens and the O'Flahertys. 1827 
 
 An attempt to imitate Scott's historical romances. The biography of a patriot who after 
 the 1798 tragedy escapes to the Continent, where his career is brilliant, and where he 
 marries the heroine. Scenes of old Irish society, wild landscapes, exciting adventures. 
 Like the others, highly sentimental, and hot for nationalism and Catholic emancipation,

 MoRiER, James Justinian [1780-1849]. The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan. 
 
 1824 
 
 Hajji Baba in England [sequel]. 1828 
 
 The most brilliant picture we have in English literature of society and manners in Persia, 
 done on the convenient plan of a Spanish rogue-story, by a great traveller and diplomat 
 with an unrivalled knowledge of the people. The sequel relates the comic adventures of 
 a Persian ambassador and his suite in London, and makes capital of the amusing con- 
 trasts between Persian and English customs. The book is a masterpiece of comic Utera- 
 ture, Morier having a wonderful knack for developing choice idiosyncrasies of character.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Opie, Amelia [nee Alderson] (continued). — Adeline Mowbray ; or, Mother and 
 Daughter. 1804 
 
 The earliest treatment of the now hackneyed theme of the " Woman Who Did " — em- 
 bodies not only the teaching of Mary Wollstonecraft, but the main incidents of her life 
 and her connexion with Godwin. The views of her mother lead Adeline to put into practice 
 extreme views on marriage and morality. She refuses to marry, and lives with her lover 
 until his death, whereupon she meets with persecution and contumely till she dies in 
 great misery. An early problem novel, as acutely pathetic as the former tragic tale. 
 [3 vols., Longman, 1805 : o.p.] 
 
 Peacock, Thomas Love [1785-1866]. Headlong Hall. 1816 
 
 Peacock was a satirist of striking individuality, who parodied the views of contemporary 
 romanticism, Liberal politicians, and progressive thinkers, in absurd dialogues interspersed 
 with exquisite snatches of poetry. His first novel was a Rabelaisian satire on contem- 
 porary men of letters and philosophers, who are pilloried as faddists and their views 
 criticized by the method of reductio ad absurdum. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1801. With Night- 
 mare Abbey, illustrated by Millar, 2S. 6d., Macmillan, 1896.] 
 
 Melincourt. 1817 
 
 A longer satire with more plot, and some likeness to Swift's Gulliver. The mock-hero, a 
 priggish disciple of Rousseau, an anti-slavery enthusiast, etc., prepares a tame monkey. 
 Sir Oran Haut-ton, to enter Parliament. The election for One Vote is a farcical episode, 
 and there is plenty of high jinks and high spirits. Southey, Coleridge, Wordsworth, 
 Canning, etc., are caricatured. [2 vols, 5s. n.. Dent, 1891. Illustrated by Townsend, 
 2S. 6d., Macmillan, 1896.] 
 
 Nightmare Abbey. 1818 
 
 An amusing farce of great literary interest, caricaturing Byron as Mr. Cypress, Coleridge as 
 Mr. Flosky, and Shelley, in a friendly way, as the misanthropic Scythrop, with his ludicrous 
 entanglement with two girls. Extravagant sketches of contemporary cranks, poets, and 
 mystics, many of them still easy to identify, fill up the canvas. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1891 : 
 see also Headlong Hall.] 
 
 Maid Marian. 1822 
 
 A rollicking version of the Robin Hood legend, with oblique satire on English poUtics and 
 reformers from the Conservative point of view. Melodious songs abound. Planch6 
 dramatized the tale. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1891. With Crotchet Castle, illus., 2s. 6d., Mac- 
 millan, 1895.] 
 
 The Misfortunes of Elphin. 1829 
 
 His most eccentric novel, a semi-poetical burlesque of ancient Welsh history and legend, and 
 at the same time a covert satire on the Reform Bill agitation, symbolized by the sapping 
 and overthrow of the great sea wall. The sayings and doings of that immortal inebriate 
 Seithenyn are exquisitely humorous, and the war songs, lyrics of love and drinking 
 comprise many of the gems in our anthologies. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1892. With Rhododaphne, 
 a poem, illus. by Townsend, 2s. 6d., Macmillan, 1897.] 
 
 — Crotchet Castle. 1831 
 
 Probably his most famous story, if not his best. Consists of Artstophanic mockery of what 
 he regarded as fads and extravagances. A house-party of crotcheteers and other comic 
 creatures meet and talk. Dr. FoUiott, the jovial athletic parson, the exposer of shams, is, 
 like Seithenyn, Dr. Opimian, and others, a piece of genuine humanism and no mere 
 intellectual butt. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent, 1891 : v. Maid Marian.] 
 
 Gryll Grange. i860 
 
 More of a regular novel than the rest, but the main element is still Aristophanic satire and 
 Conservative criticism of social tendencies. Dr. Opimian, like Dr. FoUiott, makes liberal 
 amends for Peacock's early assaults on the clerical order. [2 vols., 5s. n.. Dent, iSgi.

 Porter, Anna Maria [1780-1832]. The Hungarian Brothers. 1807 
 
 An early and very old-fashioned historical romance of Vienna in 1790-1800. [6d., Wame ; 
 25c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Porter, Jane [1776-1850]. Thaddeus of Warsaw. 1803 
 
 Asentimental idyll suggested by the exploits and tragic after-life of Kosciusko. Count 
 Thaddeus Sobieski is a faultless hero of romance, disinterested, valiant, performing 
 mighty deeds in his country's last struggle ; while as a refugee in London, where he 
 lives as a teacher of languages, the unparalleled nature of his misfortunes gives him a 
 mysterious dignity. [Ed. E. A. Baker (Half-forgotten Books), 2S., Routledge, 1905 
 (75c., Dutton, New York). Illustrated : 3s. 6d., Nisbet, 1892.] 
 
 The Scottish Chiefs. 1810 
 
 A better story though not so famous, founded on Barbour's poem, The Brus, with its heroic 
 story of Wallace and Bruce and the long war of Scottish Independence [c. 1296-1314]. 
 The writer's personal knowledge of the localities strengthens the work. [2s., Routledge. 
 Illustrated by T. H. Robinson, 5s. n.. Dent.] 
 
 Scott, Sir Walter [1771-1832]. Waverley ; or, Tis Sixty Years Since. 1814 
 
 A romance of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, begun by Scott in 1805, then laid aside, and 
 in 1814 taken up and finished in three weeks. This, like many of the following tales, was 
 originally published anonymously. Opens in Scotland just before the outbreak, * with 
 scenes of Lowland life at the home of the jocular old baron of Bradwardine ; then the 
 hero makes an excursion into the disaffected Highlands, and is soon plunged into the 
 Jacobite movement. A memorable scene is the famous Holyrood ball. Waverley fights 
 with credit at Prestonpans, accompanies the Highland army in their march to Derby, 
 and returns to Scotland after CuUoden. A tragic and moving episode is the trial and 
 death of the gallant Highland chief, beside whom Waverley has fought throughout the 
 campaign. His own lot is happier, for he marries the baron's daughter, and restores the 
 glory of the Bradwardiues. In germ the Waverley novels were the same kind of thing 
 as Scott's metrical romances, but to the romantic and mediaeval elements they add some- 
 thing of infinitely higher value. Here Scott's knowledge of human nature, his power of 
 creating humorous characters most convincingly true to life, and his command of natural 
 drama find their sphere. His faithful drawing of indigenous Scottish types had a mighty 
 influence upon the progress of reahsm, and compared with this the^ stimulus he gave to 
 Dumas and the romancers is a minor matter. 
 
 • Guy IMannering ; or, The Astrologer. 1815 
 
 The plot very romantic, though the story is said to be founded on facts : the fortunes and 
 misfortunes of an abducted heir. The wild coasts of Galloway are the chief scenes, with 
 trips to Edinburgh and the Border ; and Scott brings in numberless types of native 
 characters such as he had grown familiar with in his youthful peregrinations in search 
 of old ballads and legends. The chivalrous yeoman Dandie Dinmont, the wild, romantic 
 gipsy Meg Merrilies, Dirk Hatteraick, the villainous freetrader. Dominie Sampson, a 
 simple, faithful old tutor who reminds one of Goldsmith, and the witty advocate Counsellor 
 Pleydell are among Scott's most memorable creations. He was at his best the nearer 
 he came to his own time, and this is laid in 1750-70. 
 
 The Antiquary. 1816 
 
 Comes nearer still and deals with life and manners on the east coast of Scotland about 1795. 
 As usual the official personages of the plot are gentry ; but it is in the humble fisherf oik, 
 the picturesque old bedesman Edie Ochiltree, the antiquarian Oldbuck, for whose hobbies 
 and eccentricities Scott had a fellow-feeling, and in the humorous scenes where these 
 figure, that the strength of this great novel is to be looked for. The broader comedy in 
 which the swindling charlatan Dousterswivel is so roughly handled is also very character- 
 istic (cf. Woodstock). 
 
 The Black Dwarf. 1816 
 
 A minor romance grounded on fact, bringing in a hideous and misanthropic recluse, sug- 
 gested by a native of Tweeddale, who was only three and a half feet high, the depredations 
 of freebooters on the Border, and the abortive proceedings of the. Jacobites about the 
 year 1706 when the Rebellion of 1715 was preparing. 
 
 3' 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Scott, Sir Walter [continued). — Old Mortality. 1816 
 
 Perhaps the finest of Scott's properly historical novels, dealing with the outbreak of the Coven- 
 anters in 1679, the skirmish at Drumclog, and the battle of Bothwell Brig. Scott's Tory- 
 sympathies were with the other side, and he presents Grahame of Claverhonse, the 
 scourge of the Covenanters, in a very favourable manner — ^while he lampoons the Presby- 
 terian preachers, e.g. Poundtext. Mucklewrath and the fanatical old woman Mause 
 Headrigg are impressive figures with a strain of madness in them, and the historic Balfour 
 of Hurley is depicted as a victim of religious frenzy. Scott's intimate knowledge of village 
 life in Scotland, and his powers of delineating the characters of humble folk, are freely 
 displayed in this novel. Old Mortality was a venerable enthusiast known to Scott, who 
 got from him much of his material. 
 
 Rob Roy. 1817 
 
 Ultra-romantic, with its captivating heroine Di Vernon, the strange Northumberland house 
 
 with its mysteries, and the complicated plot, which involves a young Englishman in the 
 troubles of 1715, takes him on an adventurous excursion into Rob Roy's territory, and 
 brings on the scene Rob Roy himself and the theatrical figure of his wife Helen Mac- 
 gregor. The descriptions of Highland scenery about Loch Lomond helped to make Scot- 
 land a tourist district. On the other hand, the Baillie Nicol Jarvie and the canny gardener 
 Andrew Fairservice rank high among the exponents of Scott's rich humour. 
 
 The Heart of Midlothian. 1818 
 
 Opens with an account of the Porteous Riots in Edinburgh (1736) ; but the dramatic interest 
 
 centres in the misfortunes of a peasant girl, Effie Deans, indicted for the murder of her 
 illegitimate child, and the great heroism of her sister Jeanie, the noblest of Scott's heroines, 
 whose prototype was a certain Helen Walker, who actually walked from Edinburgh to 
 London, as Jeanie does, to obtain her sister's pardon from Queen Caroline. The faithful 
 and kindly pictures of humble life again bear witness to Scott's keen observation of the 
 small farmers, drovers, and other rustic inhabitants of the Lowlands. The crazy Madge 
 Wildfire is another of those wild, grotesque women of whom Meg Merrilies is the type. 
 Among the historical characters introduced are George II's wife Queen Caroline, the 
 Duke of Argyle, and Captain Porteous. 
 
 The Bride of Lammermoor. 1819 
 
 The most tragic of Scott's romances, on which Donizetti's opera Lucia di Lammermoor is 
 
 based. The last scion of a ruined family and the daughter of his ancestral enemy in 
 possession of the estates fall in love. For a while there is a glimpse of hope and happiness ; 
 but the ambitious mother opposes the match, prophecies and apparitions symbolize the 
 inevitable tragedy, and the romance closes in death and sorrow. The scene is laid 
 in East Lothian, near the sea, about 1695. Caleb Balderstone, the faithful retainer, 
 is one of Scott's humorous creations, and his obstinate care for his unhappy master reUeves 
 the overpowering tragedy. 
 
 A Legend of Montrose. 1819 
 
 A l5rief but thrilling romance, concerned with the Royalists under Montrose in the Highlands 
 
 in 1645-6, and based on the singular history of the young Earl of Menteith ; the facts 
 much modified for romantic purposes. A wild tribe of Highlanders, the Children of the 
 Mist, enact a sanguinary part in the drama, which embraces among its personages the 
 famous Montrose, the puritan Marquis of Argyle, and other adherents of the King or 
 • the Parliament, and most memorable of all. Captain Dalgetty, a humorous portrayal of a 
 soldier of fortune, which ranks with Scott's finest creations. Compare Scott's idealized 
 version of this episode with Neil Munro's realistic study, John Splendid — ^the other side of 
 the shield. 
 
 Ivanhoe. 1819 
 
 The author's first departure from Scottish themes, and his most popular book. Dictated 
 while he was suffering from illness. A many-coloured picture of mediaeval England at 
 the period when Norman and Saxon had hardly begun to fuse, when the castles were 
 the strongholds of baronial oppressors, and the woods full of outlaws. Brings together 
 some of the most romantic names of the Middle Ages, Coeur de Lion, Roijin Hood, Friar 
 Tuck, AUan-a-Dale, Isaac of York, and Prince John ; the tale of Richard's clandestine 
 home-coming being interwoven with the loves and adventures of a young Saxon knight. 
 The tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, the siege of Front-de-Boeuf's castle, the encounter 
 of Brian de Bois-Gilbert with Ivanhoe, are now classic episodes to be found in many 
 story books. The period is about 1194, and Yorkshire and Leicestershire supply the 
 principal scenes. Historical and chronological matters are handled with much licence. 
 
 [32 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, FIRST QUARTER 
 
 Scott, Sir Walter {continued). — The Monastery. 1820 
 
 The Abbot [sequel]. 1820 
 
 Romances of Edinburgh and the Border country in the unsettled period that followed the 
 Scottish defeat at Pinkie. The Monastery of Kennaquhair is Melrose, and most of the 
 earher events occur on Tweedside. A ghost, the White Lady of Avenel, plays a consider- 
 able part, and there is a caricature of an EngUsh courtier talking Euphuism. The whole 
 story covers the period 1550-68, to the fall of Mary Queen of Scots, whose personality is 
 sympathetically and inimitably drawn in the later scenes. The Regent Murray her 
 bastard brother, George Douglas her would-be rescuer, the Earl of Morton, and other 
 famous people take part in the action. The obscure young man who is the hero attends 
 the Queen in Lochleven Castle and is present at the battle of Dumbarton. 
 
 Kenilworth. 1821 
 
 Founded on Mickle's romantic ballad of Cumnor Hall ; the tragic story of Amy Robsart, the 
 martyred wife of Queen Ehzabeth's favourite the Earl of Leicester (1575) : takes great 
 hberties with history and chronology, and scarcely embodies the spirit of the times — the 
 Renaissance, the Elizabethan unrest and enthusiasm. The Queen, Raleigh, Shakespeare, 
 Burleigh, and other Tiistoric persons are introduced, and elaborate descriptions are given 
 of the magnificent palace of Kenilworth and of the revels that celebrated the Queen's 
 visit. Oxfordshire and Warwickshire are the principal scenes. 
 
 The Pirate. 1821 
 
 A romantic version of the career of a pirate executed in 1725, and the scene lies in the 
 Orkney and Shetland Isles, the primitive inhabitants of which are picturesquely described, 
 with their quaint laws and customs two centuries ago. Noma of the Fitful-head is one 
 of those semi-supernatural figures like Meg Merrilies, and Blind Alice in The Bride of 
 Lammermoor, which show Scott's ingrained romanticism. 
 
 The Fortunes of Nigel. 1822 
 
 Life in London and at the Court in the early days of James I (1604) ; with full portraits of 
 the King, Prince Charles, Buckingham, Jingling Geordie, founder of Heriot's Hospital, 
 and other historic personages. " No historical portrait that we possess," says R. H. 
 Hutton, " will take precedence, as a mere portrait, of Scott's brilliant study of James I." 
 The fortune-hunting Scots who followed James to England come in for humorous por- 
 traiture, and the courtiers, fops, servants, park-rangers, and the lawless population of 
 Alsatia or old Whitefriars, the thieves' sanctuary, make up a motley crowd. Nigel is a 
 young Scots nobleman, who, after an adventurous career, marries the daughter of a 
 London watchmaker. 
 
 Peveril of the Peak. 1823 
 
 Has an ultra-romantic plot, in which a supposed deaf mute and a dwarf help defeat the 
 machinations framed to separate hero and heroine. The historical datum is the-bogus 
 conspiracy revealed by Titus Oates : the hero's father is threatened with denunciation. 
 The Peak of Derbyshire, the Isle of Man, and London are the scenes ; and among the per- 
 sonages are Charles II, his favourite the Duke of Buckingham, the Countess of Derby 
 and Queen of Man (whose participation brings in a great deal of Manx lore). Col. Blood, 
 and some of the obscurer ministers of the King's debaucheries. 
 
 Quentin Durward. 1823 
 
 Scott's first romance of continental history. Gives a rich and varied picture of the age when 
 feudalism and chivalry were about to pass away. The chief scenes are in the frontier 
 districts of France and Flanders ; and the MachiaveUian Louis XI, headstrong Charles 
 the Bold, and the rebellious Flemings, with the savage William De la Marck, the Wild 
 Boar of Ardennes, Commines the historian, OUver the barber, Louis' confidant, Galeotti the 
 astrologer. Cardinal Balue, and Lord Crawford, chief of the Scottish Archers, are strongly 
 portrayed. Among the historical incidents are several of the most impressive mise en 
 sc^ne, and the pure romance is absorbing. Quentin Durward made the same sensation 
 abroad as Waverley had made in England. 
 
 St. Ronan's Well. 1823 
 
 Scott's attempt to rival Miss Austen in a comedy of character, manners, and small talk in 
 a rural watering-place, Inverleithen on the Tweed. The plot has a tragic ending, but

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 the strength of the novel is in the humours of such people as the landlady, Meg Dods, 
 who has been described as " one of the very best low-comedy characters in the whole range 
 of fiction." 
 
 Scott, Sir Walter {continued). — Redgauntlet : a Tale of the Eighteenth Century. 
 
 1824 
 
 Incorporates many reminiscences of Scott's youth. The scene is Cumberland and the Scottish 
 district bordering on the Solway. The romantic affairs of the Laird of Redgauntlet, his 
 niece and her lover, are interwoven with an abortive Jacobite plot, the most memorable 
 scene of which is the Young Pretender's farewell to Britain. Wandering Willie's Tale, 
 told by one of the characters, has been pronounced the finest short story in the language. 
 The litigious, hard-hearted drunkard, Peter Peebles, is one of Scott's raciest characters. 
 
 The Betrothed. 1825 
 
 This and The Talisman compose the series of Tales of the Crusaders. The scene is Garde 
 Doloureuse, a Norman castle on the Welsh border ; and the motive is first a feud with 
 a Welsh prince, a suitor of the Norman heroine, and then the usurpation of her rights 
 by her lover's kinsman. The Tales were to illustrate the disorders caused by the absence 
 of the Crusaders. Time : reign of Henry II (1187). 
 
 The Talisman. 1825 
 
 A minor work with a feeble romantic plot. Presents, however, an animated picture of the 
 Crusaders in Palestine (1189-92), with vivid portraits of Coeur de Lion and Saladin, who 
 have several picturesque encounters both peaceful and armed, Berengaria, the Arch- 
 duke of Austria, Philip Augustus of France, and the Prince Royal of Scotland, who, 
 disguised as an obscure knight, is the nominal hero. The jealousies and squabbles of 
 the generals of Christendom are comic ; but the most humorous scenes are those 
 between Richard and his faithful old counsellor, the Lord of Gilsland. 
 
 Woodstock ; or. The Cavalier. 1826 
 
 A Royalist picture of the domination of the Parliament. The scene is the royal demesne of 
 Woodstock, to sequestrate which Commissioners have arrived, and are made the butt of 
 . a series of hoaxes, the royal lodge where they have their quarters being haunted by ghostly 
 visitants. The romantic plot has for theme the love of a brave and generous Roundhead 
 for the daughter of the keeper of Woodstock Park ; and his considerate behaviour when 
 Charles comes as a fugitive after Worcester secures him the bride. Desborough, Harrison, 
 Bletson, and Cromwell himself are introduced. Time, 1652 ; but the history quite un- 
 trustworthy. 
 
 — Chronicles of the Canongate. First Series : The Two Drovers ; The High- 
 land Widow. 1827 
 
 The Two Drovers is founded on the actual history of two cattle-dealers, an Englishman and a 
 Scot, bosom friends, who quarrel over a petty difference, and the insulted Highlander stabs 
 his comrade (1795). The Highland Widow is the story of a mother who causes her son 
 to exceed his furlough, with the result that he is shot. 
 
 — - The Surgeon's Daughter. 1827 
 
 A melodramatic story said to be founded on fact. Scenes : Fifeshire and India (1780). 
 
 — The Fair Maid of Perth ; or, St. Valentine's Day. 1828 
 
 Scotland in 1402, the time of Robert III ; a picture full of action and strife, the fierce dis- 
 sensions of nobles, and the feuds of unruly clans. Perth and the vicinity are the scene, 
 and one of the most memorable episodes is the Homeric battle on the South Inch between 
 the Clans Chattan and Quhele. 
 
 — My Aunt Margaret's Mirror ; The Tapestried Chamber, or The Lady in the 
 Sacque ; and the Death of The Laird's Jock. 1828 
 
 The Mirror discloses a husband's infidelity (1702). The Tapestried Chamber is a ghost 
 story; scene, a castle in the West of England (1782). The Laird's Jock is an episode of 
 border strife^— an old warrior dies of shame at witnessing the defeat of his son and the 
 loss of an ancient sword, inherited from his ancestors (period, 1600).

NINETEENTH CENTURY, FIRST QUARTER 
 
 Scott, Sir Walter {continued}. — ^Anne of Geierstein; or. The Maiden of the Mist. iSig- 
 
 Embodies the story of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, and the heroic Switzers who 
 routed him at Nancy. The feudal magnificence of the Burgundian court is thrown into- 
 picturesque contrast with the simple and hardy life of the mountaineers. Many romantic 
 personages who Uved about 1474-7 ^^^ inlroduced: Queen Margaret of Anjou, the 
 troubadour King Ren6 of Provence, Charles the Bold, the merchant-earl of Oxford, and 
 the secret tribunal the Vehmgericht. Oxford's son, the hero, weds a Swiss maiden. 
 
 Count Robert of Paris. 1831 
 
 A product of Scott's decadence ; subject: the brawls which ensued when the paladins of the 
 
 First Crusade sojourned in Constantinople (1098). Alexander Comnenus the Emperor, 
 Godfrey de Bouillon, and Count Robert, of the blood of Charlemagne, are among the 
 leading characters, and the hero is an Englishman in the Emperor's bodyguard. 
 
 Castle Dangerous. 1831 
 
 Founded on Barbour's Bnis and Hume's History of the House of Douglas and Angus. The 
 
 story of the Ayrshire castle of the Black Douglas (1306-7), which was taken and retaken 
 many times during the war of Scottish independence,

 Shelley, Mrs. Mary Wollstonecraft \nee Godwin ; 1797-1851]. Frankenstein ; 
 or. The Modem "Prometheus. 1818 
 
 Was the best of the three tales of mystery and horror written in friendly competition by 
 Shelley, Byron, and Mrs. Shelley at Geneva in 1816. It is a ghastly extravaganza, built 
 up on the idea of a monster created on pseudo-scientific principles, and endowed with 
 Ufe, by a young German, whom the monster forthwith turns upon and keeps in anxiety 
 and torment. [3s. 6d., Gibbings, 1896; is., Routledge, 1882 (75c., Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Strutt, Joseph [1749-1802]. Queen-hoo HaU. 1808 
 
 Strutt was a learned antiquarian who, disgusted by the anachronisms of the RadcUffian 
 romancers, undertook to show how an historical story should be written. The work is 
 fuU of archaeological lore, and the speech and manners of the fifteenth century are repro- 
 duced accurately, without much life. Scott completed the book and prepared it for 
 publication, [o.p.]

 Wilson, John [" Christopher North " ; 1785-1854]. Lights and Shadows of Scot- 
 tish Life. 1822 
 
 Twenty-four tales and sketches, avowedly not realistic, very sentimental in tone and abounding 
 in pathos. Many word-paintings of Scottish scenery in the manner of the Recreations of 
 Christopher North, but more restrained. Best known is The Trials of Margaret Lyndsay.

 Jack Sheppard. - 1839 
 
 A tale of criminal life more realistic, less romantic, than Rookwood. An idealization of roguery

 (1703-24). [2S., Routledge (75c., Dutton, New York). Original Illustr. Edn., 8vo, 5s., 
 Routledge {$2, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 The Tower of London. 1840 
 
 Quite a product of Mrs. Radcliffe's art, with scenes of broad comedy added. The historical

 « 
 
 Preston Fight. 1877 
 
 The Jacobite rebellion of 1715, described in a painstaking manner, along with a conventional

 Bray, Anna Eliza [w/e Kempe ; 1790-1883]. The White Hoods. 1828

 Banim, John [1798-1842]. The Fetches. 1825 
 
 Second of the O'Hara Tales, a series of novels planned with his brother Michael to do for 
 Ireland what the Waverley novels had done for Scotland. They further proposed, " To 
 insinuate, through fiction, the causes of Irish discontent, and to insinuate also that if crime 
 were consequent on discontent it was no great wonder ; the conclusion to be arrived 
 at by the reader, not by insisting on it on the part of the author, but from sympathy with 
 the criminals." This is a characteristically sombre tale of superstition acting upon morbid 
 imaginations. The Fetches are spirits that appear to the friends and kinsfolk of people 
 about to die. [Duffy, Dublin : o.p.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Banim, John (continued). — The Boyne Water. ' 1826 
 
 A very fine historical novel of the Jacobite and Williamite wars, the political and military his- 
 tory carefully elucidated — ^from the Catholic point of view — arid the two kings, Sarsfield 
 and other generals, and minor characters of the period (1685-gi) vividly portrayed. 
 
 ■ ' Fine descriptions of the wild coEists of Antrim, and of the battle of the Boyne and 
 siege of Limerick. [2s. 6d., Dufiy, Dublin.] 
 
 The Nowlans. 1826 
 
 A grim and painful story recounting the temptation and fall and the subsequent repentance 
 of a young priest. [Duffy, Dublin : o.p.] 
 
 The Denounced ; or, The Last Baron of Crena. 1826 
 
 The troubles of two Roman Catholic families after the Treaty of Limerick (c. 1696), their 
 , persecutions by the Protestants, the doings of the Rapparees, etc. [Duffy, Dublin : o.p.] 
 
 Banim, lilichael [i 796-1874]. Crohoore and the Bill-hook. 1825 
 
 One of the most popular of the O'Hara Tales. A tragical story of the Whiteboys, in the times 
 (1815-25) when the unfortunate peasantry, wrung by the persecutions of tithe-proctors 
 and penal laws, retaliated most savagely in the crimes of the secret societies. Kilkenny 
 ' ' and neighbourhood are the scenes. [Duffy, Dublin : o.p.] 
 
 The Ghost Hunter and his Family. 1833 
 
 A complicated mystery novel of the usual melodramatic type, with good pictures of everyday 
 " hfe in Banim's native town, Kilkenny. [Simms and MTntyre: o.p. ; 75 c, P. J. Kenedy, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Bit o' Writing. 1838 
 
 A collection of twenty stories, the title-piece showing the humorous side of Banim at his best 
 and an admirable picture of peasant life. [Kenedy, New York; Title-story, with The 
 Ace ofChibs, 6d., Gill, 1886; is. 6d., Simpkin, 1886-9.] 
 
 -; — The Town of Cascades. * 1864 
 
 Sets forth the dire consequences of intemperance among the pesisantry in County Clare ; the 
 town is Ennistymon, on its beautiful river-gorge near the west coast. [Chapman : o.p.] 
 
 Banim, John and Michael. John Doe ; or, The Peep o' Day. 1825 
 
 , The first of the O'Hara Tales, all but the first chapter written by John Banim. Story of a 
 secret brotherhood, the Shanavests, which a young man gets mixed up with through motives of 
 revenge (period 1808). [Peep 0' Day; or, Savourneen Deelish, 2s., Routledge: o.p.] 
 
 The Croppy. 1828 
 
 A careful version of the history of the 1798 rebeUion, from the standpoint of a Uberal Irishman, 
 who views the horrible doings of his misguided countrymen with mingled pity and con- 
 tempt. A lot of conventional noveUstic business is thrown in. [2s. 6d. n., Duffy, Dublin.] 
 
 Father Connell. 1840 
 
 A very winning and pathetic character-portrait of a country priest who lays down his life 
 for the orphan boy he has befriended. Father Connell was drawn from a priest Banim 
 knew well, and other characters from his native Kilkenny and the peasants of the neigh- 
 bourhood are. sketched with much kindliness and humour. 
 
 Bronte, Anne [" Acton Bell " ; 1820-49]. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. 1848 
 
 Chiefly of biographical interest, giving the mournful story of Branwell Bronte's debased hfe, 
 and meant as a warning example to young people. The homely realism and earnest 
 moralizing are a contrast to the transforming imagination of her two sisters. 
 Her Agnes Grey (1848) ; with Emily Bronte's Wtithering Heights, infra. 
 
 Bronte, Charlotte [" Currer BeU " ; 1816-55]. Jane Eyre. 1847 
 
 For Charlotte Bronte's first novel see below — The Professor. This is the autobiography of a 
 
 ' ■ ' woman of strong and original character, whose plain face was an innovation among heroines, 
 
 as her love for an ugly and elderly hero indicated a recoil from stereotyped romance. 
 
 Obviously written out of her own inner life ; atitobiographical in the passionate expression 
 
 3S. . 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 of personal feeling, of a woman's yearning towards a fuller life, of revolt from social con- 
 ventions, unnatural repression of feeling, and narrow religious dogmas. It is one of the 
 greatest novels inspired by the theme of self-realization. [Ed. by (Sir) W. Robertson 
 NicoU, with The Moores (a fragment), 6s., Hodder, 1902 : v. also infra^ 
 
 Bronte, Charlotte [continued). — Shirley. 1849 
 
 In Shirley Charlotte Bronte is again autobiographical to a large extent, the external incidents 
 revolving round the home life of a Yorkshire millowner who suffers in the riots occasioned 
 by the Orders in Council restricting trade during the great French war. Most of the 
 characters are drawn from Ufe, the men-folk being poorly caricatured and satirized for 
 their impermeability to feminine ideas. The proud and passionate Shirley was drawn 
 from her sister Emily ; the girl who is her bosom friend was also from life. Pastoral 
 and moorland Yorkshire is depicted in emotional colours. 
 
 Villette. 1853 
 
 Also composed largely of personal experiences and observations of life in the Brussels pen- 
 sionnat, where Charlotte Bronte spent some years among many singular and not a few 
 unpleasant people whose portraits she here puts on record. Lucy Snowe, another embodi- 
 ment of her ideal of girlhood and nascent love, and the irascible preceptor, Paul Emanuel, 
 are, like Jane and Shirley, " exceptional characters," in the Meredithian sense, beings 
 existing on a higher plane of thought and emotion than average humanity. A love-story 
 of the same intensely spiritual nature as all the Bronte novels, in which love is the medium 
 of the highest self-realisation. 
 
 The Professor. 1857 
 
 A first study for Villette. Scene, the same pensionnat at Brussels, where a pair of un- 
 worldly characters, the innocent heroine and the Professor, are attracted by natural 
 kinship, and advance from sympathy to love. 
 
 Bronte, Emily Jane [" Ellis Bell " ; 1818-48]. Wuthering Heights. 1847 
 
 A weird drama of love, hate, and revenge, laid amid the sombre dales and fells of moor- 
 land Yorkshire ; the chief character, a fierce, elemental nature, in whom both afiection 
 and hatred grow into fixed ideas, pursuing their objects even beyond the grave. Around 
 this terrible figure are a group of men and women, some akin to him in fiery will and 
 uncurbed passion, some pitifully weak ; several are drawn with a firm hand and a complete 
 knowledge of human nature and also of local manners and speech. Clumsy in workman- 
 ship, this strange masterpiece is Uke a Greek play fitted into the framework of a modern 
 novel, with a current of deep poetry that overwhelms the barriers of realism and carries 
 us into the limitless sea of elemental feeling and tragic strife. {Works of the Sisters Bronte,

 Hockley, WilHam Brown. Pandurang Hari. 1826 
 
 The adventurous career of a Hindu in the Deccan early in the igth century, purporting to be 
 a rough-and-ready translation from a native MS. ; full of knowledge of the Mahrattas 
 during the anarchy that preceded the British occupation of their country. [With preface 
 by Sir Bartle Frere (1875), 2S., Chatto, 1891.] 
 
 Carleton, William [1794-1869]. Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry. Two 
 Series. 1830-3 
 
 Carleton called this, and rightly, his greatest work. The plan on which it begins, subsequently 
 abandoned, is that the cronies sitting round the fire in Ned McKeown's cabin should tell a 
 story apiece. In these short stories and descriptions of the manners and ways and emo- 
 tions of the Irish peasants, he serves up the best of his autobiographic material, in the form 
 that suited him best and drew out his innate artistic gifts. And so we get a matchless pre- 
 sentation of the real Ufe of the peasants, their quick temper and variable nature, now 
 moody, now gay, capable of the deepest feeUng, of fiercely vindictive passions, and of 
 crime. He reproduces the brogue and turns of speech with truth and humour. The 
 Party Fight and Funeral is a boisterous and spirited narrative ; Phil Purcel the Pig Driver,

 a caricature of a Connaught peasant that has been adopted as typical of Irishmen ; The 
 Lianhan Shee and The Midnight Mass show his deep feeling for nature. The Poor Scholar, a 
 portrait from life, and Tubber Derg, or the Holy Well, with its " hero beggar, " are two touching 
 stories. Wildgoose Lodge is a tale of lawless revenge. Others, e.g. Dennis 0' Shaughnessy going 
 to Maynooth, a comic story of a novice who falls in love, are of a humorous kind. Carleton's 
 realism is almost over-faithful in detail, yet by no means free from caricature and exaggera- 
 tion. He said of his Lough Derg Pilgrim, " It resembles a coloured photograph more than 
 anything else." Carleton had none of the popular and brilliant comedy of Lever, or his 
 fertility in farcical character ; but his insight into the Irish mind and temperament, his 
 knowledge of Irish traditions, thoughts, manners, idiosyncrasies, was enormously deeper. 
 From Lever we get the amusing Irishman, the stage buffoon ; from Carleton a numerous 
 gallery of authentic types, peasants drawn by one who was himself a peasant, and gifted 
 with what he called an extraordinary power of unconscious observation and a tenacious 
 memory. [Complete, 3s. 6d., Routledge {$1.50, Dutton, New York) ; 4 vols., illustrated, 
 14s. n.. Dent.] 
 
 Carleton, William [continued). — Fardarougha the Miser ; or, The Convicts of 
 Lisnamona. 1839 
 
 A well-constructed story dealing tragically with the passion of avarice. Fardarougha has been 
 compared with Balzac's P6re Grandet. The emotional struggle between avarice and 
 parental love brings in scenes of intense sorrow and gloom. Honour, the wife, is a beautiful 
 portrait of an Irishwoman, and is said to be drawn from Carleton's own loved mother. 
 [Ed. D. J. O'Donoghue, is., Downey, o.p. ; 50c., Haverty, New York.] 
 
 Valentine McClutchy, the Irish Land Agent. 1845 
 
 A passionate indictment of the tyranny and rapacity of land agents, the evils of non-residence, 
 the hypocrisy of canting attorneys who hang on to the landlord class, the violence of the 
 Orange faction, and the partisanship of juries. Contains terrible scenes of eviction and the 
 like — unquestionably charged with memories of a cruel outrage perpetrated on Carleton's 
 father — ^with many droll situations, [is. 6d. n., Duffy, Dublin ; I1.50, Sadlier, New York.] 
 
 Paddy-go-Easy and his wife Nancy. 1845 
 
 Sketches an easy-going, reckless, good-for-nothing peasant — not a fair example of the species — 
 with much raciness and humour, [is., Duffy, Dublin.] 
 
 Rody the Rover. 1845 
 
 Rody is an agent of the Ribbonites, who are painted as a set of rascals and spies (c. 1820—40). 
 [is., Duffy, Dublin.] 
 
 Art Maguire ; or, The Broken Pledge. 1847 
 
 A temperance story — the downward career of a man utterly ruined by drink. [15c., Sadlier, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Black Prophet : a Tale of the Irish Famine. 1847 
 
 Probably his first regular novel, rich in strong studies of female character. Written amid the 
 trials and sufferings of a terrible famine (1846-7), the record of an earlier visitation Carleton 
 had himself passed through, and of the typhus epidemic of 1817 — a tragic testimony to 
 the endurance and devotion of the Irish people. [3s. 6d., Lawrence and BuUen, 1899, o.p. ; 
 $1.50, Sadlier, New York.] 
 
 — The Emigrants of Ahadarra. 1847 
 
 Contains some of his bitterest scenes of sorrow and anguish, with pen portraits from the life, 
 e.g. the old patriarch, Dora McMahon, the Burkes, and the Hogans. [is., Routledge; in 
 Works, 10 vols., $15, Sadlier, New York.] 
 
 — The Tithe-Proctor. 1849 
 
 A rancorous and perverted study of the anti-tithe campaign, [is., Duffy, Dublin.] 
 — The Squanders of Castle Squander. 1852 
 
 " An attempt to portray the life of the gentry, a task for which Carleton was imperfectly 
 qualified." An acrid and unpleasing story, feebly mimicking Lever's jovial style; [o.p.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 Carleton, William (continued). — The Poor Scholar ; and other Tales. 
 
 A selection of nine of Carleton's last stories, the title-story one of his most touching, [is., 
 DuSy, Dublin.] 
 
 Willie Reilly and his Dear Colleen Bawn. 1855 
 
 A story based on a popular legend of Ulster, which had been told in countless ballads and in 
 artless prose. A poor example of Carleton's work. Tells with more romance than realism 
 of the days (1745—52) when the priests were persecuted and hunted, and a Catholic lover 
 had small chance of wedding a Protestant heiress. [With introduction by E. A. Baker 
 (Half-forgotten books), 1904, 2s., Routledge.] 
 
 Chamier, Capt. Frederick [1796-1870]. Ben Brace of Nelson's "Agamemnon." 1835 
 
 Ben Brace's autobiography is really a study of AUen, Nelson's faithful servant. Forms a 
 naval history of the wars from 1797-1816. An imitation of Captain Marryat. [Ed. E. A. 
 Baker (Half-forgotten Books), 1905, 2s., Routledge.] 
 
 The Life of a Sailor. 1834 
 
 The Saucy Arethusa. 1836 
 
 Jack Adams. 1838 
 
 Similar nautical stories of the great wars. Chamier saw service in the American War of 1812 
 and later, but his knowledge of the earlier period was based on investigations for his 
 continuation of James's Naval History. [All o.p. except Saucy Arethusa, 6d., Wame.] 
 
 Tom Bowling : a Tale of the Sea. 1839 
 
 A composite portrait, based on the histories of a famous captain of a frigate, Richard Bowen, 
 and of Nelson's flag-captain. Hardy, with others. Capture of Martinique, seizure of the 
 Cape, and action ofi Algeciras in 1801. Chiefly concerned with 1794-5. [Ed. E. A. Baker 
 (Half-forgotten Books), 2S., Routledge, 1905.] 
 
 CoBBOLD, Richard. The History of Margaret Catchpole. 1845 
 
 The story of an actual Sufiolk woman (1773-1841), who was imprisoned for horse-stealing, 
 broke gaol, and was transported, afterwards marr5dng and living at Sydney till her death. 
 [is. n. (40c.) (World's Classics), Frowde.] 
 
 CocKTON, Henrj.' [1807-53]. Vcilentine Vox, the Ventriloquist. 1840 
 
 By means of his ventriloquial gifts, the hero perpetrates enormous practical jests that beget 
 scenes of screaming farce. These, with his love affairs, satirical sketches of London hfe, 
 and some sensational episodes, such as that of a man immured in a lunatic asylum and 
 deUberately driven mad by torture, make up a lengthy novel of the Pierce Egan and 
 Pickwick variety. To a certain extent it is a novel of purpose, and is said to have brought 
 about a revision of the lunacy laws. [2s., Routledge ; $1, Button, New York.] 
 
 Sylvester Sound, the Somnambulist. 1844 
 
 A weak attempt to follow up the success of the former book. [2s., Routledge ; $1, Button, 
 New York.] 
 
 Croly, George [1780-1860]. Salathiel, the Immortal : a History. 1827 
 
 An impressive example of Gothic romance, on the old theme of the Wandering Jew, embellished 
 with oriental scenery and oriental grandiloquence. [Republished under title Tarry Thou 
 Till I Come, $1.40 n. (6s. n.). Funk & WagnaUs ; 6oc., Hurst, New York.] 
 
 Crowe, Catherine [nee Stevens ; 1800-76]. Susan Hopley ; or. The Adventures of 
 a jyiaid-servcmt. 1841 
 
 The maid-servant eventually turns out to be a colonel's daughter, though she Uves many years 
 as a household drudge. To the domestic story is added plot-interest in the murder of Susan's 
 brother and the events that enable her to convict the murderer. [6d., Routledge, 1883 : 
 o.p.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Crowe, Catherine {continued). — Lilly Dawson. 1847 
 
 Brought up in a family of smugglers, the heroine runs away, and after a hard life comes across 
 her relations, gentlefolk. She will not be a fine lady, however, and marries the lover of her 
 humbler days. The author protests against the inferior education given to women, and 
 points out the quaUties in which women surpass men. [is., Routledge, 1878 : o.p.] 
 
 The Night Side of Nature. 1848 
 
 A collection of stories and anecdotes of ghosts, apparitions, warnings, trances, haunted houses, 
 etc., asserted to be facts, but derived from all kinds of veracious or doubtful sources. 
 [Edited by E. A. Baker (Half -forgotten Books), 2S., Routledge.] 
 
 Linny Lockwood. 1854 
 
 Like Lilly Dawson, a fair example of domestic fiction, with a plot like that of East Lynne. 
 Betrayed by her husband, Linny finds herself the servant of his deserted mistress, whom 
 she nurses on her death-bed. [o.p.] 
 
 De Quincey, Thomas [1785-1859]. Klosterheim ; or, The Masque. 1832 
 
 A Radclif&an story of the turbulent period in the Thirty Years' War preceding the ImperiaUst 
 victory of Nordlingen (1633-4). ^ tyrannical Landgrave, allied with the Swedes; the 
 Catholic Klosterheimers, gallantly aiding the other side ; and a mysterious apparition 
 who discomfits the Landgrave in his own palace, and afterwards turns out to be the rightful 
 ruler, are the dramatis persona. [In his Collected Writings (14 vols.), vol. xii., 2S. 6d., 
 Black, 1896.] 
 
 The Incognito ; or. Count Fitzhum (1824). The King of Hayti (1823).- The 
 
 Dice (1823). The Fatal Marksman (1823). The Avenger (1838). 
 
 The first two are humorous tales, the third a tale of necromancy and devilry, all from the 
 German. The Fatal Marksman is a version of the German story made famiUar by Weber's 
 opera Der FreischUtz ; The Avenger, a sensational story of a series of murders, ultimately 
 proved to have been the deliberate work of a wealthy young gentleman of Jewishextraction. 
 It is much in the style of the author's Murder considered as one of the Fine Arts, with its 
 sensational appendix. [In his Collected Writings (14 vols.), vols, xii., xiii., each 2S. 6d., 
 Black, 1896-7.] 
 
 Dickens, Charles [1812-70]. Sketches by Boz. 1836-7 
 
 Random sketches and episodes drawn from Mfe in London among the poor and the lower 
 middle classes. Manners are portrayed with vivid truth or recognizable caricature, but 
 the great things are such humorous extravaganzas as the " Election for Beadle." Dickens 
 is the novelist of the lower classes as Thackeray is of the upper ten, but there is a profound 
 distinction between these two great comic artists. Though Dickens gives a faithful 
 picture of the surroundings and the conditions of Ufe in the middle period of last century, 
 he is anything but a reaUst in the more important sphere of human character. Thackeray 
 was a satirical realist : Dickens's genius was essentially humorous and fantastic. He used 
 human nature as material for creative work ; and a poetic imagination found full scope, 
 not only in fantasies like The Chimes and A Christmas Carol, but in grotesque beings Uke 
 Quilp, Mrs. Gamp, the Wellers, and Mr. Micawber. He has few afiinities in English 
 literature, unless it be Sterne and Smollett, both in different ways. This creative and 
 transforming impulse of his is shown from the beginning. 
 
 The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. 1837 
 
 Here we have exuberant fancy, and an imagination richly stored with human material collected 
 in his early experiences in the streets of London, at work on the random scheme of ad- 
 venture with which Pierce Egan and Theodore Hook had amused people a decade before. 
 An absurd club sends four members on a journey of research through England ; the four 
 meet with an immense profusion of comic adventures and curious people, many of whom 
 add to the entertainment by telling their stories. Among the host of characters drawn 
 from every nook and comer of London and provincial Ufe stand out conspicuously Mr. 
 Pickwick, Sam Weller and his sire, the fat boy, Mrs. Bardell, and many others whose 
 idiosyncrasies are as indelibly fixed in our minds as are the chief creations of Shakespeare. 
 
 The Adventures of Oliver Twist. 1838 
 
 A dramatic plot combining the fortunes of a poor boy, brought up in a workhouse, with the 
 misdeeds and the punishment of a gang of thieves. As a picture of the criminal classes 
 
 4« 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 showing the burglar, the pickpocket, and the coiner in their dens and the poor in their 
 slums, the book is worthy of Defoe. Bill Sikes is a hideous portrait of a complete scoundrel, 
 a product of our penal system ; and the Jew, Fagin, is a companion picture. The comic 
 passages give us such humorous creations as Mr. Bumble, the Artful Dodger, and Charlie 
 Bates. • 
 
 Dickens, Charles {continued). — Nicholas Nickleby. 1839 
 
 This too has a melodramatic plot, of which the mainspring is the antagonism of the good 
 Nicholas and his bad uncle, the usurious Ralph Nickleby. And again the strength of the 
 book is in the numerous comic characters, incidents, and situations — the Mantalinis, the 
 Squeers family and their detestable school, Dotheboys Hall, the Cheerybles, Mr. Vincent 
 Crummies, and Mrs. Nickleby. The tale somewhat resembles Smollett's picaresque 
 narratives. 
 
 The Old Curiosity Shop. 1840-1 
 
 Combines diverse elements — the sentimental idyll in which the etherealized and pathetic Little 
 Nell and her grandfather are protagonists ; the light comedy in which figure those sportive 
 creations Dick Swiveller and the Marchioness, and Kit Nubbles ; and the gloomy grotesque 
 of Quilp and his doings. People in those days enjoyed the mawkish sentiment and the 
 semi-poetic rhapsody of the idyllic part. 
 
 Bamaby Rudge. " 1840-1 
 
 An historical novel giving a lurid tableau of the orgies and incendiarism of the " No Popery " 
 riots in 1780. Lord George Gordon is an actor, and the principal events are founded on 
 •^ fact. Intertwined is a private story with some characteristic traits, e.g. in the Vardens, 
 the WiUets, Miss Miggs, and Simon Tappertit. 
 
 Christmas Books. 1843-8 
 
 Little tales written for Christmas, in which realism and fantasy are mingled, kindHness and 
 love for the poor being the dominant theme. A Christmas Carol makes its ghostly appeal 
 to the hard old miser, and The Chimes is a variation of the same motive. The Cricket on 
 the Hearth is an idyll of home life ; The Battle of Life, an imaginative deliverance on 
 resignation ; and The Haunted Man, a fairy tale having the beauty of kindness for its 
 moral. 
 
 Martin Chuzzlewit. 1844 
 
 A novel of multifarious scope, containing comedy, caricature, farce, melodrama, and tragedy ; 
 shifting from England to America and back again. The selfish family of the Chuzzlewits 
 are technically the central interest in what plot there is, and the regeneration of young 
 Martin may be regarded as the moral motive. But the characters are as richly varied as 
 the incidents, and comprise such epitomes of human nature's tricks and foibles as Mr. 
 Pecksniff and Mark Tapley, Tom Pinch, Mrs. Todgers, the Hon. Ehjah Pogram, Betsey 
 Prig, and the immortal Sairey Gamp, whose wonderful patter, gliding naturally into blank 
 verse, shows the grotesque imagination of Dickens at the height of its power. The 
 American interludes betray animus, and were so taken across the Atlantic. 
 
 Dombey and Son. _ 1848 
 
 Designed to fulfil a moral purpose, viz. to anatomize Pride, and illustrate its strength and its 
 weakness. Slenderly attached to the main story, in which this idea is developed, is the 
 pathetic episode of Uttle Paul Dombey's invalid life and death. Hence the history of Mr. 
 Dombey moves on to his business failure and the chastening of his pride, the seriousness 
 being lightened by the humours of Mrs. Chick and Miss Tox, the Toodles family, Mrs. 
 Pipchin, Dr. Blimber, Captain Cuttle, Mrs. MacStinger, and Mr. Toots. 
 
 David Copperfield. 1850 
 
 Of considerable interest as autobiography and self-revelation, telling something of the pathetic 
 story of his own early struggles, and setting down other cherished memories. David's 
 hard youth, the sentimental idyll of his first marriage and the firmer happiness of his 
 union with Agnes, are the connecting thread among varied episodes and eccentric, humor- 
 ous, And lovable characters. An episode of seduction brings in the melodramatic. Miss 
 Bel^ey Trotwood, Barkis, Micawber, the Peggottys, Mr. Dick, and Tommy Traddles are 
 among the pleasing grotesques ; the sanctimonious villain, Uriah Heep, is one of the 
 repulsive

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Dickens, Charles {continued). — Bleak House. 1853 
 
 A plot-novel with two chief threads, a proud lady's expiation of a sin done in youth and the 
 humorous chronicle of a huge and interminable lawsuit. Connected wth these are a 
 crowd of personages — the hero Carstone, Poor Jo, Mrs. Jellyby the philanthropist, 
 Mr. Tulrveydrop, the Bagnets, Guppy, and two sketches from life, Boythorn and Harold 
 Skimpole (Savage Lander and Leigh Hunt). 
 
 Hard Times. 1854 
 
 A tract-novel inspired by Carlyle's Philosophical Radicalism — a protest against tyrannous 
 utilitarianism and political economy divorced from human feeling. The stage is a hideous 
 manufacturing town created by the two apostles of fact, Gradgrind and Bounderby, and 
 the drama is chiefly enacted by Gradgrind's children, brought up on facts, and ruined 
 spiritually by the complete neglect of sympathy and sentiment. 
 
 Little Dorrit. 1857 
 
 Satirizes the Civil Service under the style of the Circumlocution Office. Also pictures prison 
 Ufe, Little Dorrit's father being Father of the Marshalsea. The melodramatic element 
 appears in the history of the House of Clennam ; with the usual complement of originals 
 like Mr. F.'s Aunt, the Meagles, and Pancks. 
 
 — A Tale of Two Cities. 1859 
 
 An historical novel inspired by Carlyle's French Revolution, the style of which it constantly 
 
 echoes. A powerful, melodramatic story of the Reign of ^Terror (1789-94), leading up to 
 
 the famous scene of Sydney Carton's self-immolation at the guillotine, now well known 
 
 on the boards. 
 
 — Great Expectations. 1861 
 An excellent tale for children ; the story of poor Pip has touching chapters, and there are 
 
 several characters akin to those of Dickens's best period, e.g. Joe Gargery and Miss 
 Havisham. The Thames marshes furnish a sombre background. 
 
 — Our Mutual Friend. 1865 
 
 A complicated story, with a few minor figures, like Boffin and Wegg, having the characteristic 
 stamp. 
 
 — Christmas Stories. 1854-67 
 Chiefly minor miscellaneous stories and sketches contributed to the Christmas numbers of 
 
 Household Words. The Seven Poor Travellers, The Holly Tree, and Mugby Junction are 
 sketches of travelling, inns, old-fashioned hostelries, etc. Somebody's Luggage is a dis- 
 course on waiters, and Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings, a characteristic picture of London lodging- 
 house life. 
 
 — The Mystery of Edwin Drood. 1870 
 An unfinished melodrama centring in a mysterious murder and enacted amid the picturesque 
 
 closes and cathedral buildings of old Rochester (Cloisterham) , with scenes in an opium den 
 in Shadwell. The scenic elements create a deep impression of gloom and tragedy, and the 
 plot is an excellent piece of construction. Contains some characteristic types of villainy 
 and passion, and some grotesquely humorous figures, who at least reflect the creations of 
 his best period.

 Disraeli, Benjamin, Earl of Beaconsfield [1804-81]. Vivian Grey. 1826 
 
 An incoherent and fantastic sketch, much like Lytton's Pelham, prefiguring with its burlesque 
 and persiflage the lighter elements of Disraeli's mature novels of political life. It recounts 
 the youth of a dandy and adventurer, who makes himself the favourite of a marquis and 
 engineers a new party, but is caught intriguing and ends his career. Said to owe its 
 idea to the attempted cabal of the Duke of York and the Marquis of Hertford against 
 Canning on the Catholic question. Disraeli's novels show kindred qualities in literature 
 to the forces that took him to the top in his political career — brilliance of intellect, far- 
 sighted views, and a love of theatrical effect, [is. 6d. (60c.), Longman ; edited with 
 biogr. introd. by Lucien Wolf (a very luminous one), 2 vols., 7s. n., De la More Press,

 n. (50c. n.), Lane.] 
 
 Contarini Fleming. 1832 
 
 A minor work reflecting Disraeli's poetical ambitions of this period. Contarini would fain 
 
 be a poet, but his worldly-wise father dissuades. A psychological biography of a soul's 
 development, with his adventures in quest of his destiny, and idealized pictures of travel ; 
 already betraying Disraeli's Oriental proclivities, [is. 6d. (6oc.), Longman, 1881 ; Pocket 
 Edn., IS. 6d. n. (50c. n.). Lane.] 
 
 Alrov (1833). Ixion in Heaven (1833). The Infernal Marriage (1833). Popa- 
 
 nilla (1828). 
 
 Alroy is a wild Oriental romance of the days of the Jewish captivity ; Ixion recounts in 
 burlesque fashion the old legends of Juno and Jove's eternal vengeance, with droll 
 admixture of mundane foibles and elaborate etiquette, and with a side reference to 
 Disraeli's own ambitions. The Infernal Marriage (of Proserpine with the king of Hades) 
 satirizes the modern " marriage for an establishment." Elysium is a caricature of high 
 society, its luxuries, idleness, and scandals. Popanilla is a good-humoured Gulliverian 
 satire on the British constitution. The Captain, born and bred on a primitive island, 
 comes to England, and is introduced to artificial society. [In i vol., 2s. (60c.), Longman ; 
 (i), (2), {3), and Count Alarcos (Pocket Edn.), is. 6d. n. (50c. n.), Lane.] 
 
 Henrietta Temple. 1837 
 
 A passionate love tale ; the hero is engaged to an heiress who is to save his estates from 
 
 ruin, but falls in love with the beautiful Henrietta. Contains a little of Disraeli's peculiar 
 comedy, [is. 6d. (6oc.), Longman ; Pocket Edn., is. 6d. n. (50c. n.). Lane.] 
 
 Coningsby ; or, Tlie New Generation. 1844 
 
 Disraeli had now entered Parliament and this novel and the two that follow are much more 
 
 than novels. Coningsby is a political manifesto with a practical aim, to furnish a por- 
 gramme for the Young England party. Coningsby is the grandson of a profligate marquis 
 — an actual portrait. His friendships, his social experiences and entry into political 
 hfe entail a review of the political condition of England (1832-34), and criticism of the 
 misgovernment and undefined principles of the Tories under Peel and their anti-reform 
 manoeuvres. Tory underlings, toadies and political humbugs are caricatured. Sidonia, 
 the great Jew financier, represents DisraeU's Hebrew enthusiasms ; Rigby is the Right 
 Hon. J. W. Croker ; the Marquis of Monmouth is probably Lord Hertford (Thackeray's 
 Steyne), and Lord Henry Sidney is Lord George Manners, afterwards Duke of Rutland; 
 [is. 6d. (60C.), Longman; 2s. 6d., Blackie; ed. B. N. Langdon-Davies, 5s. n., Johnson, 
 1904, o.p.; Pocket Edn., is. 6d. n. (50c. n.). Lane.] 
 
 — Sybil ; or, The Two Nations. 1845 
 
 One of our earliest serious social studies of the two great classes, the rich and the poor, from 
 the practical standpoint of a pohtician. Compares the miserable conditions of the people, 
 reduced by the tyranny of wealth to slavery, starvation, vice, and infanticide, with 
 the kindlier hfe of the Middle Ages. This is the real problem for any poUtical party that 
 is to endure. Pungent satire of ansto. | .ic and poUtical tinkers. Romantic interest is 
 supphed by the love of a nobleman for a Chartist's daughter. Barrow Bridge near Bolton, 
 Lanes., is the model village described, [is. 6d. (6oc.), Longman'; ed. B. N. Langdon- 
 Davies, 5s. n., Johnson. 1904, o.p. ; Pocket Edn., is. 6d. n. (50c. n.), Lane.] 
 
 45 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Disraeli, Benjamin (continued). — Tancred ; or, The New Crusade. 1847 
 
 Last part of what Disraeli called "a real Trilogy." A fantastic story in Disraeli's most theatrical 
 style, relating how the heir to a dukedom, after sundry adventures in patrician society, 
 related with plenty of satire, goes in quest of light to the Holy Land, where in a trance it 
 is revealed to him that the regeneration of Christendom must come from a new Anglican 
 Christianity refined by Judaism. The end fantastic and abrupt, and the meaning vague.

 Edn., IS. 6d. n. (50c. n.), Lane.] 
 
 Lothair. 1870 
 
 A Corinthian picture of the highest society of England, by one who had lived in its midst. 
 Gay and operatic in style ; flattering in tone, the satire of vanity and selfishness being 
 of a bantering and hardly serious kind. Lothair, who is to inherit immense possessions, 
 is the object of a conspiracy to make him a Roman convert, and, on the other hand, of 
 Protestant intrigues. He wavers, impelled to and fro by doubts and the fascinations of 
 two romantic ladies, champions of Catholicism and of Freedom respectively. The late 
 Marquis of Bute was pointed out as the original of Lothair ; Mazzini (Mirafiori) and 
 Garibaldi appear in the Italian episodes. Monsignor Capel, who figures as Mgr. Catesby, 
 died recently in N. California, of which he was prelate-in-charge. [is. 6d. (60c.), Longman.] 
 
 Vavasour. 1870 
 
 A rather acrid sketch of Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton, [o.p.] 
 
 Endymion. 1880 
 
 The history of Endymion and his sister Myra (1830-40) is an allegory with an autobiographic 
 meaning ; and the other characters are either important social types or representatives 
 of great people of a later day. A book full of double meanings and of aphorisms enunciat- 
 ing the writer's political philosophy, [is. 6d. (60c.), Longman.] 
 
 Egan, Pierce [1772-1849]. Life in London ; or, The Day and Night Scenes of 
 Jerry Hawthorn, Esq., and his Elegant Friend, Corinthian Tom, accompanied 
 by Bob Logic, the Oxonian, in their Rambles and Sprees through the Metro- 
 polis. 1821-8 
 
 Finish to the Adventures of Tom, Jerry, and Logic in their Pursuits through 
 
 Life in and out of London [sequel]. 1828 
 
 A series of sketches of Cockney life that appeared in monthly parts illustrated by Cruikshank ; 
 remarkable as one of the earliest of picture novels. They deal with the favourite haunts 
 of pleasure-seekers and reproduce copiously the slang and cockneyisms of Londoners, 
 spiced with puns and word-plays. The rollicking adventurers are in the sequel either 
 reformed or disposed of by unseasonable death. Dickens adopted this form of random 
 adventures and burlesque in the Pickwick Papers. [Life in London, col. ill., 7s. 6d., Chatto, 
 1869 ; Finish, los., coloured, i6s.. Reeves & Turner, i88g ; 3s. 6d. n. (Plain and Coloured 
 Series), Methuen, 1890.] 
 
 FuLLERTON, Lady Georgiana [nee Leveson Gower ; 1812-85]. Ellen Middleton. 1844 
 
 A girl, in a momentary passion, accidentally causes the death of a child. Two persons know 
 the secret, and throughout her married life she is pursued by the malice of the one and the 
 mischievous advocacy of the other, a man who loves her. Ellen's fear and penitence, her 
 flight and peaceful death, make a strong, emotional story. [6s., Macmillan, 1884 : o.p.] 
 
 Grantley Manor. 1847 
 
 Written after the writer's secession to Rome, and inspired to some extent by Roman Catholic 
 
 sentiments and ideas. Two half-sisters are placed in natural contrast, the fascinating 
 half-Italian Ginevra and the sincere and straightforward English girl Margaret. [3s. 6d., 
 Burns & Gates, 1897.] 
 
 Too Strange not to be True. ' 1864 
 
 A story of eighteenth-century England. [6s., Macmillan ; I1.50, f i, Appleton, New York.]

 Gore, Catherine Grace [nee Moody ; 1799-1861]. Cecil ; or, The Adventures of a , 
 Coxcomb. 1841 
 
 Ormington. 1842 
 
 Novels of fashionable life, full of incident and of observation of character, caustically satirical 
 in the description of high society ; built on an old-fashioned and artificial plan, [(i) 3 vols., 
 31S. 6d., Bentley, o.p. ; i vol., 2s., Routledge, o.p. ; (2) 3 vols., 31s. 6d., Boone, o.p.] 
 
 Griffin, Gerald [1803-40]. Tales of the Munster Festivals. 1827-32 
 
 Faithful and racy sketches of the Kerry and W. Clare peasantry and the small gentry ; home 
 Ufe, the hedge-schools, smuggling, love, and seduction, troubles with government of&cials, 
 etc. [is., Routledge ; $1.50, Sadlier, New York.] 
 
 The Collegians ; or, The Colleen Bawn : a Tale of Garryowen. 1828 
 
 A rather formless novel which was dramatized in a well-known play by Dion Boucicault. 
 Here Griffin appears as the novelist of the better class of Irish yeomen, a very true and 
 faithful interpreter of native character. The story is founded on fact — a poor girl is 
 seduced and forsaken for a wife of higher station. Scenes: Limerick and Killamey. [3s. 6d., 
 Routledge ; 75c., Warne, New York.] 
 
 The Invasion. 1832 
 
 A painstaking study of W. Ireland in the eighth century, the fortunes of the O'Haedha sept, 
 on Bantry Bay, giving a little narrative interest. Archaeological notes are supplied by 
 Eugene O'Curry. [2s., Duffy, Dublin.] 
 
 Haliburton, Thomas Chandler [1797-1865]. The Clockmaker : the Sayings and 
 Doings of Sam SHck of Slickville. 1838-41 
 
 Sam has some traits of an American Sam Weller — he is a witty rogue, fond of abusing people, 
 especially his own countrymen — the Blue-noses — slangy, conceited, knowing how to do 
 everything better than anybody else, always ready for a " trade " or a piece of practical 
 roguery, fervently believes in the union of English and Americans, and expounds the 
 author's high Tory opinions. This and the following novels contain little plot, but no 
 ,end of yams, ludicrous fancies, and shrewd saws. HaHburton, who was Chief Justice in 
 Nova Scotia, knew how to draw a sharp, life-hke, and terribly offensive caricature of 
 Nova Scotians and Yankees, and no doubt many of his portraits were easily recognized 
 at the time. The book founded the school that has produced " Artemus Ward " and " Mark 
 Twain," not to mention Mr. Dooley and David Harum. [Edited by E. A. Baker (Half- 
 forgotten Books), 2S., Routledge ; $1, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Letter Bag of the Great Western. 1839 
 
 Humorous sketches of Yankee manners and customs, in the form of letters supposed to be 
 taken from the mail-bag of a steamship. [In his Works, 3 vols., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 The Attache ; or, Sam Slick in England. 1843-4 
 
 A satire on British manners and customs. [2s., Routledge ; $1.25, Dick, New York.] 
 
 The Old Judge ; or, Life in a Colony. 1849 
 
 Sketches from life of people in Nova Scotia, in the shape of a tourist's narrative. The time 
 referred to is that of the Canadian rebellion of 1837-8. The facetious effects are emphasized 
 by innumerable puns, jests, double-ententes, and distorted spelling. [20c., Munro, New 
 York.] 
 
 Wise Saws and Modern Instances. 1853 
 
 A further collection of the doings and sayings of Sam Slick ; a mingling of worldly wisdom, 
 commercial smartness, and pungent satire. [$1.25, Dick, New York: o.p.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Haliburton, Thomas Chandler (continued). — Nature and Human Nature. 1855 
 
 Professes to deal with the same subject as Juvenal, the whole life of man. Full of character- 
 istic aphorisms. [$1.25, Dick, New York: o.p.] 
 
 Hall, Mrs. S. C. [Anna Maria, nee Fielding; 1802-81]. Sketches of Irish 
 Character. 1829 
 
 Tries to portray the characters, ways, and surroundings of the villagers of Bannow, Co. 
 Wexford — where she had lived as a girl — in the manner of Miss Mitford. [Illustrated by 
 Cruikshank, Maclise, and others, 7s. 6d., Chatto, 1871.]

 A too optimistic story of a young Englishman who tries to improve the lot and engage the 
 sympathies of the peasants during the Whiteboy troubles. [Routledge: o.p.] 
 
 Stories of the Irish Peasantry. 1851 
 
 Twenty tales which endeavour to show that the enmity of landlord and peasant is due to 
 misunderstanding, or the influence of bad habits such as intemperance, superstition, and 
 general lack of discipline — which the author thinks might easily be remedied. [Chambers : 
 o.p.] 
 
 Hook, Theodore Edward [1788-1841]. Sayings and Doings. 3 Series. 1824-8 
 
 Novelettes of a farcical or serious kind ; many of the characters caricatures, or at least portraits 
 of his friends and famiUars and of people well known in Society ; largely dealing with 
 pleasantries and hoaxes ; e.g. The Sutherlands — a somewhat farcical story of two brothers, 
 one headstrong, the other over-cautious, whose widely different matrimonial schemes 
 land them both in disagreeable consequences. In Doubts and Fears — a thorough-going 
 farce — a lady-killer intrigues simultaneously with his wife, separated from him, and her 
 daughter, with lamentable results. Gervase Skinner — a stingy country bumpkin, lady- 
 killer in an artless way — is made the victim of sharps and adventurers : this is a farcical 
 sketch with a number of caricatures of pleasant and unpleasant people, among them 
 Kekewich, who may have suggested Mr. Jingle. Cousin William is a sentimental Society 
 tale of passion and its consequences. Frivolous stuff for the most part, yet not devoid 
 of value for the delineations of contemporary life. [Pub. is., Bentley, 1872 : o.p.] 
 
 Maxwell. , 1830 
 
 A plot-novel, hingeing on a mystery disclosed in the last chapters. The characters, as usual 
 with Hook, much addicted to puns. Godfrey Moss, a queer mixture of generosity and 
 egotism, vulgarity and refined habits, is said to be drawn from George IV's " led-parson," 
 Cannon, [zs., Routledge, 1873 : o.p.] 
 
 Gilbert Gurney. 1836 
 
 A boisterous comedy, made up chiefly of Hook's own escapades and the characters of his 
 intimates, young men about town, with their practical jokes and smart talk. Satirical 
 sketches of cockneys, dinners, and other jovial scenes, city society ; also anecdotes of 
 real people, gibbeting their petty foibles. [2s., Routledge, 1871 : o.p.] 
 
 Jack Brag. ' 1837 
 
 [2s., Routledge, 1873 : o.p.] 
 
 The Ramsbottom Letters. 1872

 Nautical romances in a similar style to Marryat's, and often attributed to him, as they ap- 
 peared anonymously under his editorship. The author also wrote The Old Commodore

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 James, George Payne Rainsford [i 801-60]. Richelieu; or, A Tale of France. 1829 
 
 James's first novel ; praised by Scott. The inner history of the ill-fated conspiracy of Cinq- 
 Mars, 1642, and of the events leading to the fall of Richelieu, incorporated with a story of 
 court intrigue. Louis XIII, Anne of Austria, and the Cardinal are drawn with care and 
 learning. Chavigni, the bold, unscrupulous, good-hearted plotter, is a type that often 
 reappears in James. St. Germains, Paris, the Bastille are the principal scenes. [2s., 
 Routledge (?i, Duttou, New York).] 
 
 De rOrme ; or, Le Comte de Soissons. 1830 
 
 Adventures among Pyrenean smugglers, the crimes of a diaboUcal noble, hairbreadth escapes, 
 and grandiose scenery, in the style of Mrs. Eadcliffe. The revolt of the Catalans from 
 PhiUp of Spain and the conspiracy of the Comte de Soissons are the historical matters 
 introduced. (1619.) [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).]

 Old English life in Tudor times ; domestic scenes, pageants and revelry, court life, and the 
 famous meeting of Henry and Francis (1519) ; with the wonted love romance and melo- 
 drama worked in. [2s., Routledge (?i, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Philip Augustus ; or, The Brothers in Arms. 1831 
 
 Baronial France (c. 1199-1214) overrun by the rebellious banditti and free companies. The 
 adventures of the Sire de Coucy, John of England's persecution and murder of Prince 
 Arthur, and the battle of Bouvines (1214). History worked in with more than his usual 
 care. [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Henry Masterton ; or. The Adventures of a Young Cavalier. 1832 
 
 Autobiography of a Cavalier — a picture of the Royalist downfall that should be read 
 with Scott's Woodstock. Shows the Roundheads in the same offensive light, confiscating 
 the goods of malignants for their own benefit ; and represents the Puritans as snuffling 
 hypocrites. That fine king's of&cer Goring, and the Parliamentarian Ireton, are vigor- 
 ously portrayed (c. 1645-51). [2s., Routledge (%i, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 • Mary of Burgundy ; or, The Revolt of Ghent. 1833 
 
 Similar in theme to Scott's Quentin Durward, but treated differently ; the turbulent history 
 of the burghers of Flanders and their incessant revolts from their several lords. Heroine, 
 Mary, daughter of Charles the Bold ; hero, the patriotic young President, Albert Maurice, 
 citizen of Ghent (1456-77). [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 - — John Marston Hall ; or, The Little Ball of Fire. 1834 
 
 A sequel to Henry Masterton. The dazzling career of a conceited young Scot, during the plots 
 and battles of the New Fronde (c. 1642-8) ; related by himself. Cond6, Turenne, Mazarin, 
 and Anne of Austria are among the historical portraits. [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, 
 New York).] 
 
 One in a Thousand ; or. The Days of Henry Quatre. 1835 
 
 A novel of the League (1589-90), taking up the story of the Religious Wars just before the 
 murder of Henry III and the battle of Ivry. With the romanticism of the complex 
 plot are combined careful studies of the history, portraits of Henry IV, of the Duke of 
 Mayenne, head of the Guises, and a vivacious picture of the Leaguers in Paris. [3s. 6d., 
 28., Routledge ($1.50, Harper, New York).] 
 
 — Attila ; or, The Huns. 1837 
 
 A young Roman exile seeks an asylum in Attila's camp, and so becomes spectator of his 
 devastating march across Europe against the Rome of Valentinian, and of the tremendous 
 encounter between the Huns and the Visigoths (452—3). [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, 
 New York).] 
 
 — The Huguenot ; or, The French Protestants. 1838

 E 49 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 James, George Payne Rainsford (continued). — Henry of Guise ; or, The States of 
 Blois. 1839 
 
 A novel of the League (1588), the Huguenot Henry of Navarre appearing in an unfavourable 
 light. A brave young adherent of the great Duke is nominally hero as well as lover, but 
 the true hero is Henry of Guise. Both he and the incompetent Henry III make sound 
 historical portraits. The King's debaucheries at Vincennes and the factious state of Paris 
 are impressively described. The finale is the Duke's assassination at Blois. [2s., Rout- 
 ledge (?i, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 The King's Highway ; or. In the Age of WiUiam III. 1840 
 
 The conspiracy of Fenwick, Barclay, and Chamock (1696-7). The King and the Duke of 
 Berwick well portrayed. Jacobite plots, attempts to abduct, and highway robberies.

 The Man-at-Arms. 1840 
 
 A Huguenot story of the third Rehgious War, that of Jarnac and Moncontour (1569-72) — a 
 time marked by great disasters, the murder of Cond6 and the massacre of St. Bartholomew. 
 The Catholic League and the Guises are in disfavour throughout, and their commander- 
 in-chief, the Duke of Anjou, Queen Elizabeth's suitor, is the villain of the piece. [2s., 
 Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 The Jacquerie. 1841 
 
 Time of the Hundred Years' War and the Jacquerie (1358). [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New 
 York).] 
 
 The Brigand ; or, Corse de Leon. 1841 
 
 Opens amidst the Alpine scenery of Savoy, moves to Paris and the court, the Louvre and 
 Fontainebleau, all elaborately depicted ; among the prominent figures are Diana of 
 Poitiers and Henry II of France, with whose fatal wound in a tournament the narrative 
 closes (1558-9). [2S., Routledge (|i, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 The Woodman ; or, Bosworth Field. 1842 
 
 Richard III and the Earl of Richmond (Henry VII). [2s., Routledge; $1. Dutton, New 
 York.] 
 
 — — Forest Days ; or, Robin Hood. 1843 
 
 One of his best novels ; the Barons' Wars, Simon de Montfort, Prince Edward (I), and the 
 battle of Evesharn. Scenes : Derbyshire, Notts, Sherwood Forest, and Worcestershire in 
 1265. [2S., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Agincourt ; or. The Times of Henry V. 1844 
 
 Rich in lore from historians, poets, and romancers — the chivalric story of Henry of Mon- 
 mouth, as Shakespeare portrays him before his succession, and as victor at Agincourt ; 
 with scenes of old English life in London and the countrj', pictures of the Burgundian 
 court and of Flanders, and portraits of celebrities like Philip the Good, Count of 
 Charolois, afterwards Duke of Burgundy (1413-5). [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New 
 York).] 
 
 Arabella Stuart ; or. The Days of James I. 1844 
 
 Love story of Arabella and William Seymour, and plot to make her Queen ; a sentimental 
 tragedy. Takes liberties with history. Harsh portraits of James I, his favourite Rochester, 
 and the latter's paramour the Countess of Essex ; Raleigh, Cobham, Markham, etc., are 
 introduced, with the Main Plot, Bye Plot, and the murder of Overbury (1603-15). [2s., 
 Routledge (?i, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Rose d'Albret ; or, The Leaguers. 1844 
 
 A Radclifi&an romance of intrigue, with incidental pictures of France in the year of Ivry 
 (1590), under the rule of Henry of Navarre, but torn asunder by the machinations of the 
 League, headed by the Duke of Mayenne. [2s., Routledge (?i, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 SO 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 James, George Payne Rainsford (continued). — The Smuggler. 1845 
 
 A picture of smuggling and smugglers in Kent at middle of eighteenth century, with an account 
 of how the trade received a crushing blow from the Customs and the military. General 
 rufi&anism relieved by a few strong characters and by love-making under difficulties. 
 The good-natured but gruff Mr. Zachary Croyland and his good-intentioned, meddhng 
 sister supply low comedy. [2s., Routledge (|i. Button, New York).] 
 
 Arrah Neil ; or, Times of Old. 1845 
 
 The historical part of this sentimental romance is one of the earliest episodes of the war, the 
 attempt of the King's party to obteiin possession of Hull, the magazine of the north 
 (1642). Capt. Barecolt, one of James's few low-comedy characters, is a tolerable reflection 
 of Capt. Dalgetty. [2s., Routledge ($1, Button, New York).] 
 
 Heidelberg ; or, The Winter- King. 1846 
 
 The first part a glowing picture of Heidelberg, the Rhine and the Neckar, and the gorgeous 
 court of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, the " Winter-King." The last is a narrative of 
 his disasters as King of Bohemia, the battle of the Weissenberg, the fall of Prague, and 
 the sack of Heidelberg (1619-20). His wife Elizabeth, daughter of our James I and 
 ancestress of the Hanoverian line, is a tragic figure. [2s., Routledge ($1, Button, New 
 York).] 
 
 The Castle of Ehrenstein ; or, A Romance of Princes. 1847 
 
 A romance of mediaeval Germany, vaguely connected with history (c. 1208-12). The struggles 
 and intrigues of princes and barons, fitfully controlled by the authority of Emperor and 
 Pope. [2s., Routledge ($1, Button, New York).] 
 
 Gowrie ; or. The King's Plot. 1851 
 
 The Gowrie conspiracy (1599-1600). Author assumes that James VI (I of England), his special 
 bete noire, fabricated the plot in order to do a blameless young noble to death. Padua, 
 France, Scotland. [2s., Routledge ($i. Button, New York).] 
 
 The Old Dominion. . 1856 
 
 A romance of Virginia and the Southampton massacre (1831). [2s., Routledge ($1, Button, 
 New York).]

 Jerrold, William Douglas [1803-57]. M!rs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures. 1846 
 
 The comic irony of wedlock ; a shrewish wife's nocturnal harangues at her husband : originally 
 appeared in PmjzcA. [is., Bradbury ; 2S., W. Scott, 1891 ; illusiratedbyC.Keene, 10s. 6d.,.

 Landon, Letitia Elizabeth [Mrs. Maclean; 1802-38]. Ethel Churchill; or,' The 
 Two Brides. 1837^ 
 
 The days of the first Georges ; a touching story, with some wit and tender sentiment in the- 
 dialogue. Historic characters come on the stage, e.g. Sir Robert Walpol6. [o.p.] 
 
 Landor, Walter Savage [1775-1864]. Pericles and Aspasia. 1836- 
 
 The most famous example of Landor's stately dialogues. Fills in the story of Pericles and the 
 brilliant hetaira, told in outline by historians ; and gives a vivid idea of the intellectual 
 and social Kfe of Athens in the Golden Age, Alcibiades, Socrates, Aristophanes, Anaxa- 
 goras, Sophocles, etc., figuring in this series of familiar letters. Landor's majestic periods, 
 sculptured epigrams, and polished verse are admirably suited to the nobility of the theme.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Levee, Charles James [1806-72]. The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer. 1839-40 
 
 Loosely connected stories and sketches of garrison life in Cork, full of high spirits and jocu- 
 larity, very Irish in the stagey sense, very unreal. " All the pleasures of life are set before 
 us ; wit, wine, and women, fighting and loving, daring leaps, absurd hoaxes, mad Irish- 
 men." Thackeray parodied it as a prominent example of that once flourishing book the 
 rollicking novel in his Novels by Eminent Hands, christening the boisterous hero Harry 
 RoUicker. [is. 6d., 2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York) ; 2 vols., $5, Little & Brown ; 
 illustrated by " Phiz," 3s. 6d. ($1.25), Macmillan.] 
 
 Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon. 1841 
 
 A random and reckless chronicle {1808-14) °f boisterous fun, personal humours, love-making, 
 and martial adventures, many good stories being redressed. After Donegal and Dublin, 
 the Peninsular War, and the romantic countries and inhabitants of Portugal, Spain, and 
 France, furnish the mise en seine and never-ending chances of adventure, and of comic 
 and tragic incident. The humorous figure Major Monsoon is a real personage, who assigned 
 to Lever, for a consideration, the right to use him and his adventures. Baby Blake, the 
 romping Irish girl, is another sketch from life ; and Mickey Free, with his farcical eccen- 
 tricities and droll repartee, a diverting specimen of the Irish lower classes. [3s. 6d. ($1.25), 
 2s., IS., 6d., (%i), Routledge; 2 vols., illustrated by Rackham, 2s. 6d., Nisbet ($1, Putnam, 
 New York); 1897, $5, Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 — — Jack Hinton. 1841 
 
 Another diverting farrago of love-making, high life in Dublin, adventure, and rolHcking 
 humour. Full of portraits, e.g. Curran, and others nearly as well known in their day ; 
 Father Tom Loftus (sketched from Rev. Michael Comyns), a not overdrawn portrait of 
 the jolly Irish priest ; Tipperary Joe, a good low-comedy character ; Corny Delaney, 
 Mrs. P. Rooney, etc., all taken from life. The dialogue is piquant and racy, and makes 
 effective use of the brogue, [is. 6d., 2S., Routledge ; illustrated by " Phiz," 3s. 6d. 
 ($1.25), Macmillan; 2 vols., $5, Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Arthur O'Leary. 1844 
 
 A miscellany of adventures based on Lever's own experiences — hfe in Canada, student life at 
 Gottingen, the Napoleonic wars, etc? [is. 6d., 2S., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York); 
 illustrated by Cruikshank, 3s. 6d. (Si. 25), Macmillan.] 
 
 Tom Burke of Ours. 1844 
 
 A similar yarn about Irish soldiers on service abroad, in the wars of the Consulate and Em- 
 pire ; the Peninsular chapters founded largely on Napier's history of that war. "The usual 
 infusion of Irish anecdote ; the sketches from French life based on Lever's own ex- 
 periences. Napoleon appears, and the Austerlitz and Jena campaigns are described with 
 considerable fullness, [is. 6d., 2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York) ; illustrated 
 by " Phiz," 3s. 6d. ($1.25), Macmillan; 2 vols., $5, Little & Brown, BostonJ 
 
 — — The O'Donoghue. 1845 
 
 Portrays the decaying gentry at the time preceding the outbreak of 1798, when French 
 emissaries were stirring up discontent, and the armament led by Hoche was in preparation. 
 The selfish old chief of the' O'Donoghues, brooding in his ruined tower over the lost glories 
 ■of his house, the moody son, tempted and betrayed by detestable miscreants who made a 
 trafi&c in conspiracy, are melancholy creatures. The fruitless efforts of a rich EngHsh- 
 man to ameliorate the lot of his tenants produce a sad comedy, young ladies provide love- 
 making of a genteel romantic kind, and there is a plenteous flow of Irish humour. [3s. 6d. 
 (I1.25), IS., 6d., Downey; $3, Routledge, New York.] 
 
 The Knight of Gwynne. 1847 
 
 A thoughtful study of Irish hfe and character (1808-24), a-* the time of the legislative union, 
 founded on Lever's own experiences in Antrim and Derry. The Knight is an ideal picture 
 of an Irish gentleman, courageous, loyal, high-minded, and chivalrous ; supposed to be a 
 portrait of the Knight of Kerry. [2 vols., each is., Routledge.]

 Shows the practical working of the Emancipation Act ; scene, Connemara, where the selfish 
 landlord Martin is defeated at an election and leaves his estates in disgust to the tender

 Drumcondra is drawn from Archbishop Whately. [2 vols., 7s., Routledge : o.p.]

 The Dodd Family Abroad. 1853-4 
 
 The Continental adventures of a family whose heads are full of absurd notions as to the 
 manners and customs of foreigners ; related in letters by the actors themselves on the 
 plan of SmoUett's Humphry Clinker, bringing out the foibles of each writer. The Dodds 
 are not altogether caricatures, but typify the prejudices, self-assertiveness, and ignorance 
 of the British traveller. Written in Italy. [2 vols., 7s., Routledge, o.p. ; $1.25, Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Confessions of Con Cregan. 1854 
 
 An Irish Gil Bias in the style of his early tales. Pubhshed anonymously, it was attributed to a 
 new and formidable rival of Lever's, whose contemporaneous book. The Daltons, was 
 compared with it unfavourably. [3s. 6d., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 Sir Jasper Carew. 1855 
 
 Jasper's autobiography is prolific in adventure. He is mixed up with the wild social life 
 and turbulent politics of Dublin in the early days of the Irish Parhament, is implicated 
 in revolutionary schemes in France, a secret agent in London, etc. Covers the period 
 c. 1782-1805. [o.p.] 
 
 The Fortunes of Glencore. 1857 
 
 A plot-novel written to prove that Lever's talent was the unravelling of human motive. 
 Lord Glencore misjudges his wife and disowns his son, all being made right after a variety 
 of adventures in W. Ireland and in Italy. Billy Fraynor is the fun-maker of the story. 
 [3s. 6d., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 Davenport Dimn. 1859 
 
 Another picaresque novel — the astonishing histories of two adventurers. Dunn is a financial 
 swindler, whose operations involve the fortunes of princes, and whose daily hfe is an in- 
 cessant alternation of luxurious indulgence and rapid achievement ; the other scoundrel is a 
 " leg," whose sporting cheats are on a like scale, and who eventually knocks his rival on the 
 head. [2 vols., 7s., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 One of Them. 1861 
 
 A minor story utiUzing Lever's own experiences as a Consul abroad. From N. Ireland the 
 story shifts to Florence, with scenes of diplomatic life, and a plenty of sensational incident. 
 Quackinboss, a droll Yankee, and a nondescript Irish M.P. are the principal figures. 
 [3s. 6d., Routledge, o.p. ; 50c., Harper, New York.] 
 
 Barrington. 1862 
 
 Social and domestic life among middle-class people in Co. Kilkenny. A fire-eating major and

 S3 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Lever, Charles James {continued). — Tony Butler. 1865 
 
 Diplomatic life, the Garibaldian War, etc. Major M'Caskey, soldier of fortune, is the purveyor 
 of comedy, [o.p.] 
 
 Luttrell of Arran. 1865 
 
 A romantic story of the Arran Isles and Donegal. Young Luttrell's bride; a peasant girl brought 
 up to be a lady, is one of Lever's best women characters. [3s. 6d., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 Sir Brooke Fossbrooke. 1866 
 
 Reproduces much of the humour and frolic of his earlier tales, the mess-room scene in the 
 officers' quarters at Dubhn, with which it opens, recalling the sprightly comedy of Harry 
 Lorrequer. The vigorous story that follows, however, is more serious, though hardly better, 
 in its characterization and portraiture of real life. [3s. 6d., Routledge, o.p. ; 50c., Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Bramleighs of Bishop's Folly. 1868 
 
 The Bramleighs are a family of rich parvenus, divided into three camps, one headed by an 
 exclu.sive lady, an earl's daughter, who has married for money ; another composed of Col. 
 Bramleigh and his set, who fight by fair means and foul against a French pretender to the 
 estates ; and a third composed of three honourable and straightforward younger people, 
 who are the peace party. The attack and repulse of the claimant cause much tragi- 
 comedy, and bring out forcibly the heterogeneous characters of the family. Scenes : 
 Co. Londonderry about Coleraine and Italy. [3s. 6d., Routledge, o.p. ; 50c., Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 That Boy o' Norcott's. 1869 
 
 A lively and romantic story, full of striking characters of a very various and very theatrical 
 type. The hero enters the business house of a Jew, and loves his master's daughter ; is 
 sent by her on a mission to Hungary, and falls in with the inamorata of his father, just as 
 she is widowed. [3s. 6d., Routledge, o.p. ; 25c., Harper, New York.] 
 
 Lord Kilgobbin. 1872 
 
 Pictures of a Bohemian and thoroughly Irish section of Society. Kilgobbin is a wellnigh 
 ruined squireen, one of James II's unrecognized peers, a reckless, cheerful Hibernian ; 
 Atlee is a characteristic hero of Lever's, a Trinity student of boundless abihty, versatile, 
 ambitious, and a bit of a charlatan, who makes himself a career in spite of obstacles ; the 
 heroine, half-Irish daughter of a Greek prince and adventurer, is another of those all- 
 conquering beauties, around whom Fenians, soldiers, pohticians, and Vice- Regal officials 
 gather as lovers. [3s. 6d., Routledge, o.p. ; $1, Harper, New York ; illustrated by 
 Luke Fildes, 3s. 6d. ($1.25), Macmillan.] 
 
 Gerald Fitzgerald the Chevalier. 1899 
 
 Adventures of a legitimate son of the Young Pretender. He is recognized as a claimant to the 
 English Crown, and comes in contact with Mirabeau, Alfieri, Madame Roland, the Pre- 
 tender and his court at Rome, etc. Appeared as a serial in the Dublin University Magazine ; 
 republished twenty-seven years after Lever's death. [6s., Downey, o.p. ; $1.50, New 
 Amsterdam Book Co., New York ; 40c., Harper, New York.] 
 
 Lover, Samuel [i 797-1868]. Rory O'More. 1837 
 
 Rory is an idealization of Irish good-nature, suggested by Lover's popular song " Rory 
 O'More." Essays to prove that a few desperadoes were responsible for the more heinous 
 atrocities of the '98, and that the Irish peasantry are naturally too kind-hearted to commit 
 such excesses. Tries to be serious, but cannot help falHng into melodrama and the broadest 
 comedy, [is. 6d., 2s., Routledge (f i, Dutton, New York) ; edited with introd. by D. J. 
 O'Donoghue, 3s. 6d., Constable.] 
 
 Handy Andy. 1842-3 
 
 The blunders and misadventures of a happy-go-lucky servant, an exaggeration of the stage 
 Irishman, with other laughable episodes introducing more stage characters, gentry, 
 peasants, and vagabonds, [is. 6d., 2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York) ; edited 
 ■with crit. introd. by D. J. O'Donoghue, 3s. 6d., Constable.] 
 
 54 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 Lover, Samuel {continued). — Legends and Stories of Ireland. 1844 
 
 Localized romances and racy scraps of folklore worked up into stories with a plot, mostly 
 comic and farcical. Among the most laughable are The Gridiron, Paddy the Sport, and the 
 mock-epic Barny O'Reirdon the Navigator, the buoyant, muddle-headed hero of which 
 follows into the Atlantic a ship bound for Bengal, in the belief that he will reach the 
 fabulous paradise of Fingal. [With introd. by D. J. O'Donoghue, 3s. 6d., Constable ; 
 2s. 6d., 2S., Ward & Lock ; $1.50, Sadlier, New York.] 
 
 Lytton, Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer, Lord [1803-73]. Falkland. 1827 
 
 A sentimental romance of illicit passion, which Lytton withdrew from circulation in his collected 
 
 works on account of its doubtful morality. [Published in his works (infra) in the vol. 
 
 containing Zicci, which is a short sketch of Zanoni and first appeared in The Monthly 
 
 Chronicle of 1841. 
 
 Pelham ; or, The Adventures of a Gentleman. 1828 
 
 A brilliant and precocious delineation of a man of the world, aiming to show that worldly 
 
 experience may be rightly used without corrupting a man's heart or debasing his ideals. 
 Superficially, Pelham is frivolous, foppish, and efEeminate, but underneath he is a man of 
 principle and high ambition. Many sketches of people then living, and not a little satire. 
 
 Devereux. 1829 
 
 An historical novel in which Lord Bolingbroke figures prominently, and minor parts are taken 
 by Steele, Addison, and Swift, Pope, Col. Cleland (supposed original of Will Honeycomb), 
 Beau Fielding (" Orlando " of The Spectator), Kneller, CoUey Cibber, Richard Cromwell, 
 Lady M. Wortley Montagu, the Duke of Wharton, etc. 
 
 The Disowned. 1829 
 
 A " metaphysical " novel, the characters representing allegorically certain moral qualities. 
 Attempts to relieve the abstract nature of the plot by episodes of passion and the adven- 
 tures of two heroes and a gigantic scoundrel who is sketched from a notorious swindler. 
 
 Paul Clifford. 1830 
 
 Denounces " a vicious Prison Discipline and a sanguinary Penal Code " ; advocates a reforma- 
 tory method. A very tragic story with a " gentleman highwayman " for hero, and a 
 dramatic climax confronting father and son as judge and criminal. Thackeray in The 
 Yellowplush Memoirs and elsewhere treated Lytton and his glorified scoundrels and 
 innocent criminals to much wholesome satire. 
 
 Eugene Aram. 1832 
 
 One of Lytton's sympathetic studies of criminals — the story of the famous murderer, executed 
 
 1759. As a critic sarcastically put it, " How Eugene Aram, though a thief, a Uar, and a 
 murderer, yet being intellectual, was amongst the noblest of mankind." 
 
 Godolphin. 1833 
 
 The Pilgrims of the Rhine. 1834 
 
 An extravaganza mingling elves and fairies with more mundane creatures, and propounding 
 his ideas of human life. The English fairies visit their kindred of the Rhineland. 
 
 The Last Days of Pompeii. 1834 
 
 A learned and fairly successful picture of the splendid and luxurious Roman society of the 
 reign of Titus (a.d. 79), based for its local colour on Lytton's study of the Pompeian 
 antiquities and Pliny's famous account of the eruption. 
 
 Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes. 1835 
 
 Another romance in which Lytton tried to rival Scott. It gives a careful historical picture 
 of the stormy politics of Rome and Italy in the period 1313-54, and Rienzi's fight for 
 ItaUan freedom and unity. 
 
 Ernest Maltravers ; and Alice, or The Mysteries. 1837-8 
 
 A complicated love-romance, the sequel giving the solution of an extremely hazardous plot. 
 Maltravers, a rich and aristocratic young man (whose literary brilliance seems a reflection 
 of Lytton's), loves and loses a beautiful girl of the lowest class, seeks consolation in distant 
 travel and adventure, and parades hke Byron " the pageant of a bleeding heart." Politics, 
 social intrigue, legal plots, and a murder or so, lead on to a conclusion satisfying to the 
 most ardent sentimentalist. [Published in 1838 as parts i and 2 of The Eleusinia.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Lytton, Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer, Lord {continued). — Leila. 1838 
 
 A Spanish and Moorish romance, laid amid the stormy incidents of the conquest of Granada. 
 
 Night and Morning. 1841 
 
 A romantic and highly improbable story of great length, as profuse in coincidence as most of 
 Ly tton's, reciting the fortunes of two sons of a wealthy man who had concealed his marriage 
 and left no proofs of their right to the estates. Exciting adventures and hair-breadth 
 escapes in England and abroad, villainous doings among sharpers and coiners in Paris, 
 love complications, etc., come to an end with the recovery of the missing documents. 
 
 Zanoni. 1842 
 
 A story of a secret brotherhood, of remote origin, who possess the secret of eternal youth, a 
 subject that obsessed Lytton. The hero, having lived many centuries, marries a lovely 
 opera singer, resigning his gifts of supernatural vision and immortality, and perishes in 
 the Reign of Terror. A gloomy and, at times, a ghastly story, but Lytton's favourite. 
 Zicci is a first sketch of this novel. 
 
 The Last of the Barons. 1843 
 
 The tragic story of Warwick the King-Maker and his strife with Edward IV. The battle of 
 Bamet (1471) is described at length, and besides dealing with the facts of history, the 
 novel attempts to analyse in a philosophical manner the social tendencies of this changeful 
 epoch. 
 
 — — Lucretia ; or, Children of the Night. 1847 
 
 An adaptation of the story of Thomas .Griffiths Waiuewright, the virtuoso and poisoner. 
 Lucretia, the arch-criminal, is a character with redeeming traits ; but the rest of the 
 villains and their nefarious deeds are so revolting that the book aroused a good deal of 
 protest at the time of its appearance. 
 
 Harold ; or, The Last of the Saxon Kings. 1848 
 
 The tragic history of Harold's fall ; elaborate descriptions of the battles of Stamford Bridge 
 and Hastings and of English Ufe in the iith century ; accurate historically. 
 
 The Caxtons. 1849 
 
 The first of a series of novels of manners embodying a criticism of life grounded on Ljrtton's 
 theory of the Real and the Ideal. Takes the form of family memoits by the hero Pisistratus 
 Caxton. The blend of reahsm and didacticism is Lytton's own, but the manner is evidently 
 much influenced by Sterne. The scenes of high society and of poHtical life (re the most 
 important. Various types of Englishmen are drawn at fuU length — the modest, reserved, 
 and scholarly gentleman, who is the head of the family ; the stern and romantic soldier 
 uncle and his adventurous son ; the sanguine speculator. Uncle Jack, with his disastrous 
 schemes ; and the high-minded and high-bred Sedley Beaudesert. 
 
 My Novel ; or, Varieties of English Life. 1853 
 
 Continues the theme of The Caxtons — " the amusements, the pleasures, and the passions of the 
 idle members of English society," on a broad canvas. A multitude of characters are intro- 
 duced, chiefly consisting of a wealthy country squire and his family, their connexions, and 
 the magnates "and ordinary inhabitants of the parish. 
 
 What Will he do with it ? 1858 
 
 Another novel by " Pisistratus Caxton " in the style of The Caxtons and My Novel. 
 
 — The Haunted and the Haunters. 1859 
 
 A short story that came out in Blackwood — a masterpiece of supernatural horror, far more 
 consistently impressive than the following, which is usually bound up with it. 
 
 — A Strange Story. 1862 
 
 A grisly story of supernatural influence, on a more elaborate scale, and with a regular plot 
 and a number of characters, believers or sceptics. Has a good deal of the stage trickery 
 consecrated to ghost literature, but attains some thrilling effects of horror and illusion by 
 subtler psychological means. 
 
 S6 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 Lytton, Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer, Lord {continued). 
 
 The Coming Race. 1871 
 
 An Utopian romance embodjring a philosophical criticism of humanity. The scene is below 
 the surface of the earth, where a branch of the human race, lost ages ago, has developed 
 a higher order of civilization and of mechanical art. 
 
 — — Kenelm Chillingly. 1873 
 
 Another didactic novel developing his philosophy of the Real and the Ideal, and criticizing 
 everyday life. The heir to a baronet, bom in luxury and educated in the latest modem 
 ideas, becomes a sceptic and iconoclast. Wearjang, however, of an empty life, he goes 
 among the workers, himself becomes a worker, and so learns a saner philosophy. From 
 active philanthropy among the poor, he comes back to more effective work for humanity 
 in his natural sphere. 
 
 The Parisians. 1873 
 
 Aims at a general view of Parisian society in all its ranks and phases — the old noblesse, 
 
 financial and industrial magnates, Bohemians, workmen and socialists, with their various 
 interests and activities, at the period ending in the siege of Paris. Philosophical and 
 didactic like the foregoing — the characters often mere mouthpieces for the doctrines of 
 Lord Lytton. [2 vols.] 
 
 — — Pausanias the Spartan. 1876 
 
 A posthumous historical romance (relating to 470 B.C.), unfinished, ed. by Lytton's son.

 Macfarlane, Charles \_d. 1858]. The Camp of Refuge. 1846 
 
 An extremely vivid story of Hereward's famous stand against the Conqueror in the Fens of 
 Ely. Aims at historical accuracy rather than romance, and achieves a most convincing 
 ■oicture of everyday life in town and cloister. [Edited by (Sir) G. L. Gomme, maps, etc., 
 3s. 6d., Constable (?i. 50, Longman, New York), 1897; ed. by E. A. Baker (Half-forgotten 
 Books), 2S., Routledge, 1904.] 
 
 A Legend of Reading Abbey. 1846 
 
 A siinilar account of the turbulent state of England in the reign of Stephen (1135-54), centring 
 
 in the vicissitudes that befell the monks of Reading. [Edited by (Sir) G. L. Gomme, maps, 
 etc., 3s. 6d., Constable ($1.50, Longman, New York), 1898; ed. by E. A. Baker (Half- 
 forgotten Books), 2s., Routledge, 1904.] 
 
 The Dutch in the Medway. 1847 
 
 Deals with a disgraceful episode of English history, the blockading of the Thames by a Dutch 
 fleet under De Ruyter (1667, reign of Charles II), which was followed by the ignominious 
 Peace of Breda. Founded on Pepys, who is one of the characters of the domestic story.

 Maginn, William [1794-1842]. Miscellaneous Works — Prose and Verse ; ed. 
 R. W. Montagu. 1885 
 
 Chiefly facetious miscellanies composed on the same plan as the Nodes A mbrosiancs, as, e.g. 
 the Memoirs and the Maxims of Morgan O'Doherty. There are short stories also, e.g. 
 The Man in the Bell, Bob Burke's Duel with Ensign Brady, and — the most famous — A 
 Story without a Tail. [2 vols., 24s., Low: o.p. ($9.60, Scribner, New York).] 
 
 Marryat, Capt. Frederick [1792-1848]. Frank Mildmay ; or, The Naval Officer. 
 
 1829 
 
 Marryat had served as midshipman under Lord Cochrane on board the Impdrieuse, and wrote 
 this sea-novel on board the Ariadne. In two and a half years' service he is said to have 
 seen fifty engagements, many very brilliant ; and he had authentic material for the Ufe 
 of perpetual adventure and activity that is here described. Certain notabilities of his 
 day are supposed to be sketched among the characters, and the book is made up of 
 reminiscences, except that it has a fictitious plot and hero.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Marry AT, Captain Frederick (continued). — The King's Own. 1830 
 
 His first book, Frank Mildmay, was made up of reminiscences in the form of fiction; this, 
 constructed of like materials, is more of a novel. The opening chapters give a full account 
 of the mutiny at the Nore (1797), followed by the adventures of a daring smuggler, who 
 impresses the young hero into his crew. It is in this novel that appears the famous story 
 of an English captain who deliberately loses his frigate on a lee shore in order to wreck 
 a French line-of -battle ship. 
 
 ■ Newton Forster. 1832 
 
 Has a romantic plot, opening with a terrible shipwreck and the rescue of an infant, who in 
 the end proves to be the heiress of a French marquis that Newton becomes acquainted 
 with in the West Indies. Farcical scenes of connubial strife, society on shipboard, wrecks, 
 escapes, and the usual frolics and escapades. 
 
 Peter Simple. 1834 
 
 Much more natural and racy ; the journal of a sailor, from the day he is entered as midship- 
 man to his marriage and retirement as Lord Privilege. Peter, the supposed dunce, with 
 his real sagacity, his misadventures and lucky escapes from every peril and quandary ; 
 the pungent character-sketches, like Mr. Chucks and romancing Capt. Kearney, escapes 
 from shipwreck, cutting-out expeditions, and adventures of the fugitive prisoners, make 
 up a lively and humorous picture of naval life. 
 
 Jacob Faithful. 1834 
 
 The hero tells his own story from infancy upwards. His life at a charity school, apprentice- 
 ship to a Thames waterman and life on the river till he and young Tom get impressed and 
 see service on board a frigate, are episodes crammed with ludicrous incident. The vulgar 
 Turnbulls and their attempts to be fashionable, the theatrical picnic party, the " Domine," 
 and the incurable punster. Old Tom, provide continual mirth. 
 
 Mr. Midshipman Easy. 1836 
 
 Founded, like his first novel, on Marryat's personal experiences of active service round the 
 
 coasts of France and Spain during the great war ; full of thrilling episodes, rich in salt- 
 water character (Mr. Easy is specially humorous), full also of yarns which Munchausen 
 might have fathered. 
 
 Japhet in Search of a Father. 1836 
 
 Not a sea novel ; a picaresque story pure and simple, displaying the author's usual fun and 
 fondness for rolUcking, exaggerated idiosyncrasy. 
 
 Snarleyyow ; or, The Dog Fiend. 1837 
 
 A story of Wilham Ill's reign. The dog which plays such a prominent role belongs to a 
 
 rascally lieutenant commanding a small vessel hunting for smugglers. The lieutenant's 
 avarice gets him mixed up with the Jacobites, and when he has quite filled up the cup of 
 his cruelties and treachery, it is at their hands he meets with his doom. Lieut. Vansly- 
 perken and his dog are grotesques, verging on the horrible ; but the story has many 
 episodes of characteristic fun and comedy, while Short and the Widow are dehghtfuUy 
 humorous. 
 
 — The Phantom Ship. 1839 
 A seventeenth-century narrative ; the story of Philip Vanderdecken's arduous search for 
 
 and successful but calamitous discovery of his father, the " Flying Dutchman." 
 
 — Masterman Ready ; or. The Wreck of the " Pacific." 1841 
 
 A well-meaning story that children like — a wreck, Crusoe Mfe on an island, a fight with savages, 
 and the heroic death of the fine old sailor, Masterman Ready, through the carelessness of 
 a naughty boy. 
 
 The Children of the New Forest. [juvenile] 1847

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 Martineau, Harriet [1802-76]. Deerbrook. 1839 
 
 A village story of the good old-fashioned sort, describing two rival families, their narrowness 
 and jealousy, and the evils of gossip. Miss Martineau had already made money and 
 reputation by her stories illustrating the science of political economy, taxation, the poor 
 law, etc. — Illustrations of Political Economy, 9 vols., 1832-4 — a striking outcome of the 
 rage for the diffusion of useful knowledge. She considered Deerbrook her best work. 
 [2s. 6d., 8vo, Smith and Elder.] ' 
 
 The Hour and the Man. 1840 
 
 An early Uncle Tom's Cabin. The man is Toussaint I'Ouverture, and the hour that of the black 
 revolution in Hayti (1791-1803). Toussaint is an almost incredible paragon, and the sav- 
 agery and guilt of the native chiefs are not recognized by the author, who makes an idyll 
 out of a series of frightful convulsions. She keeps fairly close to the historical records, 
 but her knowledge of local conditions was ridiculed by Judge Hahburton in Sam Slick, 
 and it is obvious that she was unduly fascinated by the idea of a negro acting successfully 
 in the sphere of political and social government upon the principles she most cherished. 
 [Edited by E. A. Baker (Half-forgotten Books), 2s., Routledge, 1904 ($1, Dutton, New 
 York).]

 An historical romance of Nottingham Castle and Sherwood Forest. [2s., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 Gideon Giles the Roper. 1840 
 
 Miller, the " Basket-maker " of Nottingham, was a humble poet and nature-lover who in this 
 novel, much of which is conventional rubbish, managed to picture the rustic Midlander 
 of his time (the Chartist period) with remarkable truth and lifelikeness. Ben Brust, the 
 indefatigable trencherman, with his primitive philosophy of life, is a character drawn

 Moir, David Macbeth [1798-1851]. Life of Mansie Wauch, Tailor in Dalkeith. 1828 
 
 Dr. Moir, the " Delta " of Maga and a minor poet, in this portrayal of a simple-minded, hard- 
 working man, and in the pathetic episode of the love-sick apprentice from the Lammer- 
 moors, wrote a novel worthy to stand on the shelf near John Gait : many of the scenes 
 are strongly akin to the boisterous conviviality of the Nodes Ambrosiancs. [2s. 6d., is. 6d., 
 Blackwood, 1895 ; with notes by F. Henderson, is. 6d. n., Methuen, 1902.] 
 
 Newman, John Henry, Cardinal [1801-90]. Loss and Gain. 1848 
 
 More of a platonic dialogue than a novel ; subject, the Roman supremacy and the defects of 
 Anglicanism ; the hero, a projection of Newman's own personality, at once shy and bold, 
 simple and profound, occasionally satirical. The story of his conversion brings in some 
 intimate and delicate sketches of Oxford life. [3s. 6d. (I1.25), Longman.] 
 
 CaUista : a Sketch of the 3rd Century. 1856 
 
 The story of an African martyr, (c. 250), with interesting studies of demoniacal possession, 
 religious emotion, and the fear of eternal punishment. Divagations on theological and 
 devotional questions. [3s. 6d. (^1.25), Longman.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Both in style and format this was a charmingly successful attempt to reproduce a book 
 of the period. Miss Manning (q.v.) modelled her Mary Powell (1850) and other domestic 
 novels of past days on Mrs. Rathbone's little masterpiece, without, however, equalling her 
 model. A sequel came out in 1847 and was embodied in the 1848 edn. [o.p.] 
 
 Reach, Angus Bethune [1821-56]. Clement Lorimer ; or, The Book with the Iron 
 Clasps. 1849 
 
 Tale of a vendetta, dating from 1610, between a Corsican and a Flemish family. Scene in 
 London (c. 1833-4), where, with a variety of episodes in the style of Dickens, the feud is 
 extinguished by the marriage of the survivors of the two houses. [2s., Routledge : o.p.]

 RoDWELL, George Herbert Buonaparte [1800-52]. Old London Bridge : a Romance 
 of the i6th Century. 1849 
 
 Rodwell was proprietor of the Adelphi and a musician. This is a sensational version of the 
 story told in more restrained style by Anne Manning in The Colloquies of Edward Osborne, 
 the London apprentice who founded the ducal house of Leeds (1536-59). [Edited by E. A. 
 Baker (Half-forgotten Books), 2S., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Scott, Michael [i 789-1835]. Tom Cringle's Log. 1833 
 
 Scott was a Glasgow merchant who travelled widely and lived in the W. Indies, collecting 
 from all over the world the miscellaneous characters who people his two novels of adven- 
 ture by sea and land, two novels as full as any books in our maritime literature of the 
 veritable ocean magic. This is a wonderful farrago of thrilUng adventure and brilliant 
 pictures of the sea, ostensibly the diary of a midshipman during the great world-struggle 
 of 1813. The scene shifts to the West Indies, Jamaica, Bermuda, Cuba, and other places, 
 giving extensive descriptions of the scenery, towns, and inhabitants. Encounters with 
 American frigates, with smugglers and privateers, droll anecdotes, Tom's kidnapping and 
 life aboard the Torch and the Wave, make a picturesque and animated narrative which 
 never slackens ; and the characters, e.g. Obediah, the Yankee pirate, Aaron Bang, the 
 punster and buffoon (copied from life as they probably were), provide any amount of 
 rough humour and horseplay. First appeared (1829) in Blackwood's Magazine. [3s. 6d., 
 2S., Blackwood; 2s., Routledge. Illustrated: 2s. 6d. ($1.50), Macmillan, 1895; 3S- 6d., 
 Blackwood, 1895 • 2 vols., 5s. n., Gibbings ($2, Lippincott, Philadelphia).] 
 
 The Cruise of the " Midge." 1834 
 
 The second novel is exactly similar in scheme, or lack of scheme, the eventful life of a sailor — 
 slave-catching on the African coast ; visits to the Cape ; cruising in the West Indies ; 
 pleasures and dangers, flirtations and duels, scenes of joviality and humour, with death 
 always in the background. Tropical scenery is presented with the same vivid realism, 
 and the salt-water characters are drawn with the same coarse vigour, strongly reminding 
 one of Smollett's comic beasts in human form. First appeared in Blackwood's Magazine.

 Smith, Albert [1816-60]. The Adventures of Mr. Ledbury. 1844 
 
 The Pottleton Legacy. 1849 
 
 By the famous showman who introduced Mont Blanc to Britishers. Facetious novels sketch- 
 ing incidents of the hfe of the time in a clever journalistic way — the opening of a railway 
 in a country district, going to the Derby, shady life in town — and hitting off notable types 
 — company promoters, impresarios, aeronauts, fast young men, and the like — in a style 
 midway between Dickens and the comic papers, [(i) o.p. ; (2) Edited by E. A. Baker

 Smith, Horace [1779-1849]. Brambletye House ; or, Cavaliers and Roundheads. 
 
 1826 
 
 An antiquarian romance of the times of the Great Civil War, in imitation of Scott. Intro- 
 duces historical personages and events profusely, even inserting passages from Defoe's 
 History of the Plague. [2s., Weldon.] 
 
 SuRTEES, Robert Smith [1779-1834]. Handley Cross ; or, The Spa Hunt. 1843 
 
 A sporting novel, describing how a village grew into a fashionable spa, and the pack of hounds 
 kept by the farmers was the nucleus of the Spa Hunt. An almost interminable chronicle, 
 in which every little event is set down conscientiously, letters and accounts appearing 
 at full length, and every character being minutely described as to dress and appearance. 
 Most prominent among the many farcical characters is Mr. Jorrocks, the Cockney grocer 
 and M.F.H., who reorganizes the hunt and has various squabbles with the magnates of 
 the Spa, winding up with a couple of lawsuits. [Illustrated with 79 illus. by John Leech,

 Hillingdon Hall ; or, The Cockney Squire. 1845 
 
 Ask Mamma ; or, The Richest Commoner in London. 1858 
 
 Sporting novels of a similar stamp, rambling, artless, and diffuse, abounding in farcical char- 
 acters and ridiculous incidents. Unambitious, but very graphic and faithful sketches of 
 life and manners, and, above all, amusements, at the beginning of the Victorian epoch, 
 [(i) Illustrated with coloured plates, 12s. 6d., Routledge ; (2) with coloured plates, 14s.,

 Thackeray, WiUiam Makepeace [1811-63]. The Yellowplush Memoirs. 1841 
 
 Contributed under various titles to Eraser's Magazine (1838-40), and supposed to be 
 reminiscences of a self-educated footman. A medley of extremely personal satire (e.g. 
 Dionysius Lardner and Bulwer Lytton are unmistakably travestied), facetious sketches of 
 society above and below stairs, and the doings of an aristocratic card-sharper, Mr. Deuceace. 
 The farce is purposely vulgar in tone, and the scenes of brutality are intentionally made 
 odious by ironical sympathy with the rogues. 
 
 The Christmas Books of M. A. Titmarsh. 1847-55 
 
 Comprises Mrs. Perkins's Ball (1847), a farcical account of the guests and their behaviour, 
 particularly of the escapades of an Irish gentleman, The Mulhgan ; Our Street (1848), 
 thumb-nail pictures of its inhabitants, their families, servants, and followers — broad 
 caricature ; Dr. Birch and his Young Friends (1849), similar sketches of school life ; 
 The Kickleburys on the Rhine (1851), ludicrous sketches of natives and Englishmen abroad ; 
 The Rose and the Ring (1855), a mock-heroic tale of the Kings of Paflagonia and of Crim 
 Tartary, slily satirizing modem manners, etc. These farces and extravaganzas were 
 lavishly illustrated by the author, as they came out at successive Christmastides. Read- 
 able by children, amusing to readers of every age. 
 
 Vanity Fair ; or, A Novel without a Hero. 1848 
 
 His most representative novel — a picture of society on a broad canvas, embracing a great 
 variety of characters and interests, the object being to depict mankind with all its faults 
 and meannesses, without idealization or romance. Little set design ; though the careers 
 of Becky Sharp, the adventuress, and her husband, Rawdon Crawley, make an apt contrast 
 
 61 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 to the humdrum loves of the good hero and heroine, Dobbin and AmeUa. The nobility, 
 fashionable people about town, the mercantile aristocracy and the needy classes below 
 them, are all portrayed in the most lifelike way. Episodes strong in tragedy, dramatic 
 displays of passion, are mingled with pure comedy. Thackeray combines comment with 
 narrative even more intimately than Fielding; to many readers, indeed, his sarcastic 
 dissertations are the chief intellectual delight. Lord Steyne is drawn from the Marquis 
 of Hertford, Mr. Wagg from Theodore Hook, and Wenham from J. W. Croker. 
 
 Thackeray, William Makepeace (continued). — ^The Book of Snobs. 1848 
 
 Satirical monographs on the multifarious species of this national genus, which he hunts out 
 from every rank of society. Affectation, vulgarity, meanness, are illustrated with copious 
 example and anecdote. (Appeared in Punch, 1846-7). 
 
 The History of Samuel Titmarsh and the Great Hoggarty Diamond. 1849 
 
 A sort of miniature Vanity Fair, briefly recounting the history of a young man's life in London, 
 his early struggles, courtship, marriage, and family troubles ; happy in its humour, now 
 and then iiercely satirical, e.g. in exposing the villainy of bubble companies, with some 
 pages of affecting pathos. (Appeared in Fraser's Magazine, 1841.) 
 
 The History of Pendennis : his Fortunes and Misfortunes, his Friends and 
 
 his Greatest Enemy. 1849-50 
 
 Presents the contemporary young man without flattery or extenuation, as Fielding had 
 presented Tom Jones. Pendennis is in some way a reflex of Thackeray himself, at any 
 rate, much personal history is made use of ; he is by no means an ideal hero, and in his 
 egotism, vanity, and weakness he is only a trifle better than George Osborne, Amelia's 
 showy lover in Vanity Fair. Introduces a numerous gallery of characters, e.g. the womanly 
 Laura, the gushing Miss Amory, the Irishman Capt. Costigan, the old buck Major Pen- 
 dennis, and the manly George Warrington. Thackeray avowed himself a disciple of 
 Fielding (see p. 14 — Tom Jones), whose method of faithful representation without any 
 romantic or sentimental idealism he tried to follow, not succeeding always, however, in 
 eschewing sentimentality. He allowed himself the same liberty of criticizing manners and 
 morals in a running commentary. 
 
 The History of Henry Esmond, Esq., a Colonel in the Service of Her Majesty 
 
 Queen Anne ; written by himself. 1852 
 
 A chronicle of public and domestic events towards the end of the seventeenth century ; 
 ostensibly an autobiography written in George Ill's reign, and a successful reproduction 
 of the modes of writing and speaking then in vogue. Twice members of the Esmond 
 family become involved in Jacobite plots ; and they are engaged in the Blenheim cam- 
 paign and other historic affairs which serve to introduce Marlborough, Gen. Webb, 
 Steele, Lord Mohun and his victim Hamilton, the Old Pretender, and other celebrities. 
 Actual events are inwoven with the family narrative, and the manners, dress, and habits 
 of the time are portrayed with scholarlj' exactness. The personal interest centres in Henry 
 Esmond and the two women whom he loves. Lady Castlewood and her daughter Beatrix : 
 it culminates in episodes of moving tragedy. Beatrix is taken up again in The Virginians ; 
 she is often characterized as the only woman completely portrayed in English fiction. 
 Esmond marked a renascence of English historical fiction and established a new model, 
 rejecting the standards of romanticism, and aiming at describing life as realistically as 
 contemporary writers might have represented it. 
 
 The Newcomes : Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family ; edited by Arthur 
 
 Pendennis, Esq. 1854-5 
 
 Thackeray's great " middle-class epic," the tragedy of worldliness. Contains hardly any 
 distinct thread of story, except Clive Newcome and Ethel's love affairs, which end in blank 
 tragedy. Clive, like Pendennis, is a weak hero and does not escape satire. Depicts a 
 society thronged with worldlings, false, self-seeking, whited sepulchres (Barnes New- 
 come is the most odious character Thackeray ever drew) ; over against whom if set the 
 ideal English gentleman. Col. Newcome, his most beautiful and pathetic creation. 
 
 Miscellanies (4 vols.). 1855-7 
 
 Chiefly multifarious contributions (from 1837 onwards), to Fraser's Magazine and Punch 
 Vol. i. : Ballads ; . Snob Papers ; The Tremendous Adventures of Major Gahagan (1838-9), 
 the latter, tall stories of an Anglo-Indian Munchausen, another of Thackeray's delightful

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 Irishmen. The Fatal Boots (1839), a masterlyanatomy of selfishness, and Cox's Diary {18^0) 
 are minor facetiae. Vol. ii. : The Yellowplush Memoirs : Jeames's Diary (1845-46) ; 
 Sketches and Travels in London : Novels by Eminent Hands (1847) (these last are burlesque 
 imitations, at the same time profoundly true criticisms, of Lytton, Lever, Disraeli, G. P. R. 
 James, Cooper, etc.) ; Codlingshy, a most diverting travesty of Coningsby ; Character 
 Sketches. Vol. iii. : In The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq., written by himself (Fraser, 
 1844), the autobiographer is an Irish adventurer, ca;rd-sharper, and bully. The narrative 
 is consistently ironical, the hero recounting his iniquities with pride and expectation of 
 approval. Pictures European society before the French Revolution, principally in pleasure 
 haunts or amid the camps and battles of the Seven Years' War (1756-63). A Legend of 
 the Rhine (1845) is a burlesque of the mediaeval story of barons and knight-errantry. 
 Rebecca and Rowena, a Romance upon Romance (1850), is a mock-heroic sequel to Scott's 
 Ivanhoe, making capital of the romantic glamour investing the Jewess to the disparage- 
 ment of the Saxon heroine. A Little Dinner at Timmins's (1848) ; The Bedford Row 
 Conspiracy (1840). Vol. iv. : The Fitz-Boodle Papers (1842-3) are " reminiscences of a 
 younger son, who moans over his poverty, complains of womankind generally, laughs at 
 the world all round, and intersperses his pages with one or two excellent ballads " — ^the 
 latter unveiling the humbug of things in general and of poetry in particular. Men's Wives 
 (1843) ; A Shabby-Genteel Story (1840) ; The History of Samuel Titmarsh and the Great 
 Hoggarty Diamond (1849) — seep. 62 for this last. 
 
 Thackeray, William Makepeace [continued). — ^The Virginians : a Tale of the Last 
 Century [sequel to Esmond]. 1858-9 
 
 The memoirs of Esmond's two grandsons in America and England (1755—77), with the end 
 of Beatrix as the deplorable Baroness Bernstein. George Washington, Dr. Johnson, 
 Fielding, and Richardson are among the historical notabilities introduced, and the study 
 of manners is excellent. The two heroes take opposite sides in the American War of 
 Independence. 
 
 Lovel the Widower. 1861 
 
 A minor work based on a rejected play, The Wolves and the Lamb — the vulgar love affairs 
 
 of a much-engaged young woman, who extricates herself from her other lovers and 
 eventually marries Lovel. 
 
 The Adventures of Philip on his Way through the World ; showing who 
 
 robbed him, who helped him, and who passed him by. 1862 
 
 A rambling story, containing several fine scenes and a beautiful character in the " Little 
 Sister," the womanly friend of Philip. He, the son of a polished villain, determines to 
 show his rectitude by his independence and disdain of social polish, and thus make his 
 way. He tries to live by his pen, an episode which brings in the journalist world and 
 Bohemian Paris. A more elaborate continuation of The Shabby-Genteel Story (1840), and 
 a minor counterpart of Vanity Fair and The Newcomes, out of which novels several char- 
 acters step without further introduction. 
 
 Catherine. 1867-9 
 
 Described by its author as a narrative of " unmixed rascality, performed by persons who 
 never deviate into good feeling," aiming to show how disgusting would be the records 
 of thieves, cheats, and murderers, were their doings and language described according to 
 their nature rather than handled in such a way as to create sympathy. A counterblast to 
 Lytton's Eugene Aram, Ainsworth's Jack Sheppard, and Dickens's Oliver Twist. (Ap- 
 peared in Eraser's Magazine, 1839-40.) 
 
 Denis Duval. 1867 
 
 A splendid fragment containing scenes worthy of Thackeray's best days. The old town of 
 Rye in 1763-79, with its motley population of smugglers and refugees, old sea captains 
 and Catholic gentry, is a very picturesque setting. Breaks off at the beginning of a thrilling 
 episode, the capture of the Serapis by Paul Jones.

 Trollope, Frances \nee Milton ; 1780-1863]. The Domestic Manners of the 
 
 Americans. 1831 
 
 A novel by the mother of Anthony Trollope, made up of her experiences during a three years' 
 sojourn in America for business purposes. The sketches of life and society are both caustic 
 and tactless, and aroused the same resentment in the United States as Dickens pro- 
 voked later by his American Notes. [$2 n., Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Vicar of Wrexhill. 1837 
 
 The title originally proposed — The Unco Guid — indicates the spirit of the book. The Vicar 
 
 is a clergyman of an unpleasant type, sketched to a large extent from actual facts, and so 
 realisticall}'- drawn that a storm of criticism and abuse was raised by the Low Church 
 party, [o.p.] 
 
 Ward, Robert Plumer [176 5-1846]. Tremaine ; or, The Man of Refinement. 1825 
 
 Ward was a legal writer, politician, and Society man, of whom Canning said that his law books 
 
 were as pleasant as novels and his novels as dull as law books. This is a dull novel so far 
 
 as story goes, though clever in style. It had more than a season's success owing to Ward's 
 
 familiarity with the political and social circles delineated. [3s. 6d., Tegg : o.p.] 
 
 De Vera ; or, The Man of Independence. 1827 
 
 A similar novel presenting the character of an ambitious statesman, believed on its appearance 
 to be Canning, but, as the author stated, a composite study of Pitt, Canning, and Bohng- 
 broke. Other characters were more exact portraits, e.g. Lord Mowbray and the Duke 
 of Newcastle. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Colburn, o.p. ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Warren, Samuel [1807-77]. Passages from the Diary of a late Physician. 1832-8 
 
 Twenty-eight of these papers came out in Blackwood from 1830 to 1837. Warren had been a 
 medical student at Edinburgh, and was now engaged at the Bar. The work, which has 
 plenty of melodramatic interest and parades its moral purpose, aroused criticism from 
 ' the Lancet for divulging professional secrets. [2s., Routledge ($1, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Ten Thousand a Year. 184 1 
 
 A highly coloured sensation novel which once had immense vogue. The object is serious and 
 edifying, but the book is full of extravagant comedy, not much above Theodore Hook's 
 boisterous jesting satire on EngUsh legal forms and personages, and of farcical characters 
 like Oily Gammon and Tittlebat Titmouse, the caricature of Lord Brougham as Mr 
 Quicksilver, and the draper's assistant who gets the ^10,000 a vear. [2s., Routledge 
 (?i, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 NINETEENTH CENTURY. THIRD QUARTER— 1851-ys 
 
 Arnold, Matthew [1822-88]. Friendship's Garland. 1871 
 
 " Being the Conversations, Letters and Opinions of the late Arminius, Baron von Thunder- 
 ten-Tronckh ; collected and edited, with a Dedicatory Letter to Adolescens Leo, Esq., 
 of The Daily Telegraph." This imaginary German is the author's stalking-horse for an 
 attack on British Philistines and their ways of thinking and speaking. A book that did some 
 useful destructive work in its time, along with Arnold's Culture and Anarchy, his theo- 
 logical criticisms, etc. Witty and consistently ironical : many of its phrases and paradoxes 
 are now classical. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder (70c. n., Macmillan, New York), 1903.] 
 
 Arnold, Wilham Delafield [1828-59; brother of preceding]. Oakfield; or. Fellow- 
 ships in the East. 1853 
 
 The hero, a young Oxford man, brought up in strict ideas of duty and conduct, goes to India 
 and is revolted by the dissipation and indifference of the English, both military and civil, 
 and their total neglect of the natives' well-being (c. 1849). His censures are sharpened by 
 his ignorance of real life. Includes a narrative of the second Sikh war and the battle of 
 Chillianwallah. [2 vols., 21s., Longman : o.p.] 
 
 64 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Blake-Forster, Charles Ffrench. The Irish Chieftains ; or, A Struggle for the 
 Crown. 1872 
 
 A very learned account of the Williamite wars in Ireland, weaving the national events and 
 the fortunes (1689-1770) of the O'Shaughnessy and Blake-Forster clans (Co. Galway) into 
 a novel. Not only battles and sieges and the Continental deeds of the Irish Brigade, but 
 home politics and the working of the penal laws are carefully studied (from an Irish- 
 Jacobite standpoint), and well documented in the appendix. [7s. 6d., Whittaker, 1874 : 
 o.p.] 
 
 Borrow, George Henry [1803-81]. The Bible in Spain ; or, the Journeys, Ad- 
 ventures, and Imprisonments of an Englishman in an Attempt to Circulate 
 the Scriptures in the Peninsula. 1843 
 
 Recounts Borrow's adventures as an agent of the Bible Society in the Peninsula, 1835-9. 
 Perhaps the descriptive passages are finer even than those in Lavengro ; and the accidents 
 of travel, the strange rencounters, the singular people met with, and the characteristic 
 observations on national manners and idiosyncrasies, make a story no less fascinating ; 
 though we do not get the inimitable self-revelation which is a unique ingredient in Lavengro. 
 " Vagrom " writers like Stevenson and Belloc draw their inspiration as much from Borrow 
 as from Sterne. [2 vols., with map and illustrations, crown 8vo, 12s., Murray, 1896 ; 
 I vol., 6s., Murray ; Cheap Edn., 2s. 6d. ($1 n., Scribner, New York) ; Pocket Edu. (New 
 Universal Lib.), is. n., Routledge (50c., Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Lavengro ; the Scholar, the Gipsy, the Priest. 1851 
 
 The Romany Rye [sequel]. 1857 
 
 Lavengro and its sequel, The Romany Rye, are the sacred books of those who confess the true 
 gospel of vagabondage. Borrow was a natural wanderer, a passionate lover of nature 
 for her own sake, though in no sense a naturalist ; with a genius for graphic description 
 of both scenery and human character. They are really Borrow's autobiography down to 
 1825, with a veil of mystery purposely thrown over it. They describe his wanderings over 
 the three kingdoms, his strange adventures, literary struggles in London, vagrancy with 
 gipsies, etc. The characters are of a piece, odd and striking, often disreputable people, 
 removed as far as possible from the ordinary ; and the strange incidents and the 
 glamour of his descriptions give ,us a most enchanting blend of romance and realism. 
 Dr. Jessopp calls it a story " which, in the exquisite beauty of its setting and the inimitable 
 blending of the elements of gentle pathos and rugged tenderness — in the dialogue — ^it would 
 be difficult to find a parallel for in modern English literature." Borrow's pure, racy, and 
 finely cadenced English is a deUght to connoisseurs of prose.

 Bradley, Rev. Edward [" Cuthbert Bede " ; 1827-89.] The Adventures of Mr. 
 Verdant Green, an Oxford Freshman. 1853-57 
 
 The tomfoolery, high-jinks, and hoaxing of undergraduate life at Oxford. Though the author 
 was not an Oxford man, he was correct enough in depicting the actual manners and 
 customs of the university, exaggerating only for the purposes of low comedy. [Illustrated

 The Civil War, the Commonwealth, and the Restoration. Strong domestic and religious

 A story of the early Christians, [as., S.P.C.K.] 
 
 Conquering and to Conquer. [juvenile] 1876 
 
 Told by a centenarian abbess — ^the days of her youth, the persecutions, the Christian life of 
 her mother and herself, the slow conversion of her philosophic father, the careers of 
 Jerome and St. Augustine. The year 404 was signalized by the sacrifice of the monk

 Clarke, Marcus Andrew Hislop [1846-81]. For the Term of his Natural Life. 1874 
 
 Convict life in Tasmania in the '30's and '40's, pictured realisticaUy with all its hideous 
 accompaniments of brutality and innocent suffering, and no concession to poetic justice ; 
 a careful study of the facts. Graphic sketches of Australasian scenery are interspersed 
 with the narrative. [6s., Macmillan ; 25c., Laird, Chicago.] 
 
 Clive, Mrs. Archer [Caroline, n^e Meysey-Wigley ; 1801-73]. Paul Ferroll. 1855 
 
 Paul murders his wife in order to marry a girl he loves, and manages to avert suspicion and 
 live a happy life with his new wife and his daughter. At length, however, the guilt is 
 brought home and his condemnation kills his wife, while he escapes with his daughter 
 and settles down to a repentant life abroad. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Why Paul Ferroll Killed his Wife [sequel]. i860 
 
 The names are changed in the sequel, but the characters represent the same dramatis personce. 
 An equally gloomy narrative, every character and every particle of the environment 
 taking the hue of the dominant situation. The hero is a man whose intellectual powers 
 have raised him so high that he thinks himself superior to moral laws : absolutely selfish, 
 fearless, and remorseless, he commits his crime and lives securely tUl events betray his 
 guilt. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Collins, William Wilkie [1824-89]. Antonina. 1850 
 
 Alaric in Italy — a really fine historical novel (408—10). 
 
 Hide and Seek. 1854 
 
 A novel depending on a long-kept secret. Plot : how a brother, having hunted out the 
 destroyer of his sister, relinquishes his vengeance for the sake of bis friend, the villain's son. 
 Moral purpose : to show how by kindness and patience the life of a deaf and dumb girl 
 may be made happy. 
 
 After Dark. 1856 
 
 A series of stories told by a painter whose sight is failing. The Yellow Mask, a story of Pisa, 
 has much of the grisly effect of Poe's tales. A jealous woman masks herself with a waxen 
 cast of a man's dead wife and nearly kills him with horror. 
 
 — The Dead Secret. 1857 
 
 Here plot-interest completely overrides the human interest, sustaining the reader's curiosity 
 up to the moment when the secret is revealed. There are, however, some scenes and 
 characters {e.g. Uncle Joseph) that stir sympathetic emotions. The old Cornish house 
 with its mysterious associations recalls Mrs. Eadcliffe. 
 
 66 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Collins, William Wilkie [continued).— The Woman in White. i860 
 
 Develops the mechanics of plot to an extreme stage. Collins adopts the attitude of inviting 
 the reader's ingenuity in discovering the identity of a puppet-heroine and detecting 
 the real object of a villainous conspiracy. The arch-villain, Count Fosco, has a certain 
 amiabiUty and some human idiosyncrasies which save him from forfeiting all sympathy 
 by his crimes, and he, Mrs. Catterick, and Fairlie are the three best drawn of Wilkie 
 CoUins's characters. Collins was the most expert novelist in what Stevenson called the 
 carpentery of plot. This is an excellent example of his complicated mystifications, every 
 part of which is accurately dovetailed and subordinated to the denouement. 
 
 No Name. 1862 
 
 Less of a puzzle-plot than the last, preferring to foreshadow events. The disadvantage of 
 illegitimate birth is the leading motive — ^a girl deprived of her father's money by this 
 misfortune tries under a false name to marry the heir ; another unscrupulous woman 
 protects the invaUd hero. Capt. Wragge, the swindler, and his wife are comic figures. 
 
 Armadale. 1866 
 
 The mainspring of this story, which abounds in coincidence, is a crime the effects of which 
 come to a head in the second generation. An attempt to deal imaginatively with the 
 physical and moral results of heredity. A feminine counterpart to the villain Fosco 
 plays a signal part, giving her life to save her lover from the fatal consequences of her own 
 crime. The amorous gardener, Abraham Sage, and Miss Gwilt are capitally done. 
 
 The Moonstone. 1868 
 
 The theft of a celebrated jewel, and its quest and restitution by devoted Hindoo priests, after 
 an Iliad of adventures, to the idol from whose forehead it had long ago been wrenched, 
 make an intricate story. An excellent mystery-plot, borrowing strong romantic effect 
 from the dark and mysterious Brahmins. The old servant, Gabriel Betteridge, and Miss 
 Clack are good comic characters, studied from Dickens. 
 
 Man and Wife. 1870 
 
 A fierce onslaught upon Athleticism, the villain being a champion boxer, runner, and a savage 
 in manners and morals. The defects of the Irish and Scotch marriage laws, the tyrannical 
 power of husband over wife in England, are the causes of the chief disasters involved in an 
 exciting plot. 
 
 Poor Miss Finch. 1872 
 
 A sensation novel, with a bhnd girl as heroine, a hero suffering from epileptic fits, and a 
 great amount of surgical and medical details in the plot business. As usual, full of 
 complicated intrigue involving good people and bad. Poor Miss Finch, a lovable girl, 
 though little more than a child in character, is at length married to a good, silly young 
 fellow, Oscar, who, with his twin-brother Nugent, is the focus of some puzzling situations. 
 
 The New Magdalen. 1873 
 
 The tragic redemption of a camp-follower, time of the Crimean War. 
 
 Heart and Science. 1883 
 
 An assault on Vivisection, the most prominent character being engaged in practical biological 
 research. Enlivened by humorous descriptions of Scottish life and character by a viva- 
 cious child. 
 
 Little Novels. 1887 
 
 Contains in Uttle the characteristics of his full-length novels, ingeniously compUcated plot, 
 
 ravelled and then unravelled, and a weakness for supernatural incident.

 Craik, Dinah Maria [nife Mulock ; 1826-87]. The Ogilvies. 1849 
 
 Mrs. Craik wrote a long series of mediocre domestic novels with a strongly didactic tendencj', 
 of which the better are given here. This is a story of first love, told with plenty of sentiment 
 and some scenes of pathos, as, for example, that of Leigh's death. [2s., Macmillan ; $1, 
 Harper, New York.] 
 
 67 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Craik, Dinah Maria {continued). — Olive. 1850 
 
 The main story — there are divers underplots — ^is an attempt to make an attractive heroine 
 of a cripple who is without beauty ; the latter half deals with the cripple's successful attempt 
 to convert her agnostic husband, [is., 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., Macmillan, 1890; $1, Harper, New 
 York.] 
 
 John Halifax, Gentleman. 1856 
 
 This is Mrs. Craik's finest story — her full-length portrait of an ideal man. By faithfulness 
 and courage he rises from extreme poverty to wealth, and marries a girl of gentle family. 
 The period covered is 1780— 1834, and we get peeps at Lady Hamilton and other celebrities, 
 glimpses of the riots caused by the introduction of steam machinery, and a pleasing 
 chronicle of old-fashioned life in a provincial town (Tewkesbury). It is supposed that 
 Halifax was studied from Handel Cossham, son of a Gloucestershire carpenter, and later 
 a wealthy colliery proprietor. [3s. 6d., 2s., Hurst & Blackett ; $1, Harper, New York ; 
 Illustrated by Hugh RiviSre, 6s., Hurst & Blackett, 1896.] 
 
 A Life for a Life. 1859 
 
 A problem-novel, dealing with the nemesis of a repented crime and assailing capital punishment. 
 A man attacks another under extreme provocation and accidentally kills him. He keeps 
 the act secret until, later on, he loves a woman, who turns out to be his victim's half-sister. 
 [3s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett ; ?i, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Mistress and Maid. 1862 
 
 A sober tale of humble life : didactic like the rest. Both mistress and maid are womanly and 
 
 exemplary people, the one gaining the reader's sympathy by her determined struggle 
 with adversity, the other by her simplicity and loyalty and the pathos of her love romance. 
 [3s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett ; $1, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Woman's Kingdom. 1868 
 
 Is less ambitious but shows her ability to reveal feminine character. The love stories of 
 two sisters are contrasted for the sake of the moral. The plain sister is loved for her 
 good disposition and happy home life ; the beauty is incapable of deep affection, and her 
 lover's life and her own are marred by her selfishness and inconstancy. [3s. 6d., Hurst & 
 Blackett ; $1, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Dasent, Sir George Webbe [1817-96]. Annals of an Eventful Life. 1870

 Dempster, Charlotte Louisa Hawkins [1835-?]. The Hotel du Petit-St.-Jean : 
 a Gascon Story. 1869 
 
 Pictures the simple life and manners of a southern French town, with delicate touches and an 
 affectionate sympathy with Provencal ways and ideas. The little idios3aicrasies of a 
 crowd of characters, from the PrMet and Prefette downwards, are humorously sketched. 
 The main thread of the triple story is concerned with the growth of Marie's character — 
 a sunny and impulsive girl to whom pathetic experiences of life bring gravity and wisdom. 
 Much is made of the lovely scenery of the Garonne. [2s., Smith & Elder : o.p.] 
 
 Vera. 1871 
 
 Vera is a high-born Russian, who loses her boy-lover at Inkermann, and in the course of years 
 
 gives her hand to the English ofi&cer who accidentally slew him. The scenes that set forth 
 this operation of Destiny, as the author regards it, occur in Moscow, the Crimea, Italy, 
 Nice, London, etc. Attention is chiefly directed to the expansion and ripening of V6ra's 
 beautiful personality ; her bright and careless disposition is deepened by troubles and 
 experience of the world, till at last love gives her a new view of life. [2s., Smith & Elder : 
 o.p.] 
 
 Iseulte. 1875 
 
 Memoir of a Frenchwoman, noble by birth and by character, who meets with some of the 
 most tragic calamities of life, but by fortitude and unselfishness rises superior to fate, 
 
 68 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 and is rewarded with a middle-age of happiness. Her sister, who is entrapped into a 
 convent and sacrifices her love, is a pathetic counterpart to the lovely character of Iseulte. 
 Life in the pro\'inces and at the front during the convulsions of 1870 is described, and the 
 virtues of the old nobility are contrasted with plebeian vulgarity and self-seeking. [2s., 
 Smith & Elder: o.p.] 
 
 Dempster, Charlotte Louisa Hawkins (continued). — Blue Roses ; or, Helen 
 Malinofska's Marriage. 1877 
 
 A story of hopes and ideals unfulfilled. The Polish heroine fails to attain, in her marriage 
 with a Devonshire squire, the happy love that she had dreamed of in her joyous girlhood, 
 and she dies in estrangement. Polish life and characters favourably depicted and con- 
 trasted with an unpleasant set of EngUsh people. [6s. , Paul : o.p.] 
 
 Edgar, John George [1834-64]. Cavaliers and Roundheads. [juvenile] 1861

 Edwardes, Ameha Ann Blandford [1831-92]. Barbara's History. 1864 
 
 The character and inner Hf e of a girl, the romance of her courtship, her experiences in a German 
 college (a part related with intimate sketching of national and local traits), and her 
 romantic marriage-»-all soberly and sympathetically related— and a series of minor charac- 
 ters, such as Mr. Sandyshaft, stern and irascible externally, but inwardly full of kindness, 
 drawn with quiet humour. The plot is based on a mystery that causes estrangement 
 between Barbara and her husband. [2s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett.] 
 
 Debenham's Vow. 1870 
 
 Gives an excellent description of blockade running into Charleston harbour during the American 
 Civil War. [2s. 6d., Hunst & Blackett.] 
 
 Lord Brackenbury. 1880 
 
 Like Barbara, comprises much portraiture of foreign people and society, and careful descrip- 
 tions of foreign towns and scenery ; but the old manor-house and other local colour from 
 Cheshire are also accurately studied from life. [2s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett.] 
 
 Edwardes, IVIrs. Annie. Archie Lovell. 1866 
 
 The story of a pretty young hoyden, whose audacity is equalled only by her innocence. She 
 scandalizes the " shady English " of Morteville, a continental resort of the shabby genteel, 
 by her tomboyish manners and defiance of convention, and at last escapes narrowly 
 from the disastrous consequences of a wild adventure with a young man, undertaken in 
 perfect ignorance of the ways of the world. [3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Susan Fielding. 1869 
 
 Susan is one of the immaculate heroines ; compared with her, perhaps as a foil, is the more 
 human and more intelligent Portia Ffrench, a type of the ambitious woman of the world, 
 far from bad at heart, but determined above everything on a wealthy marriage. [2s., 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 Ought We to Visit Her ? 1872 
 
 A young wife of Bohemian antecedents, shunned by the respectable people of Chalkshire and 
 neglected by her unworthy husband, is tempted and almost seduced into folly, but suddenly 
 awakes. [2s., Macmillan.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Edwardes, Mrs. Annie (continued). — Leah, a Woman of Fashion. 1875 
 
 An English boarding-house in the Rue CastigUone supplies a comprehensive character-picture 
 of a set of Bohemian English people, runaway debtors, separated wives, gamblers, rakes, 
 and others of damaged reputation. [2s., Macmillan.] 
 
 A Girton Girl. 1886 
 
 The love troubles of a girl who wanted to go to Girton, the flirtations and mischief-making of a 
 married lady, a cynical and selfish man's attentions to an innocent girl : the characters 
 are idlers amid the picturesque scenery of the Channel Isles. [6s., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 "Eliot, George" [Mary Anne' Cross, nee Evans; 1819-80]. Scenes of Clerical 
 Life. 1858 
 
 George Eliot was the most philosophical of the great novelists. She carried ethical interests 
 and analysis of motive much farther than Mrs. Gaskell, as was natural to one who had been 
 immersed in religious and philosophic criticism from youth to middle-age, when she began 
 to write her novels. Scenes of Clerical Life, described by her as " Sketches illustrative of 
 the actual life," contains Amos Barton, a story full of humanism, portraying the home life 
 of a poor curate, commonplace in character and appearance, and his wife, a being of 
 adorable kindness and devoted love ; Mr. Cilfil's Love Story, the bygone romance of 
 an elderly gin-drinking man, a tragic little drama of passion and jealousy ; and Janet's 
 Repentance, the awakening and moral rebirth of a beautiful woman, driven by harsh 
 treatment to drink. Ordinary life is interpreted in the light of spiritual ideals, and the 
 humour and pathos of common things are revealed with delicate art. 
 
 Adam Bede. 1859 
 
 Adam Bede goes deeper mto the dark places of human nature, and sets forth a coherent philo- 
 sophy of conduct and inexorable retribution. An innocent country lass is seduced by 
 the young squire ; and crime, remorse, suffering for the innocent as well as the evil- 
 doers, are the tragic consequence. The rustic aphorist, Mrs. Poyser, is the most humorous 
 creation^ and the inspired preacher, Dinah Morris, the most exalted. Both are idealizations 
 of people George Eliot knew. Village Ufe, the farmyard, and all the ordinary aspects 
 of country life a hundred years ago, are presented with the minute strokes of a Dutch 
 painter. Loamshire is North Staffordshire, and Stonyshire, Derbyshire. Dinah Morris's 
 origmal, Elizabeth Evans, aunt by marriage of George Eliot, actually preached at Wirks- 
 worth. In fact, many characters in this novel and later are studied from people the 
 author knew and loved. 
 
 ■ The Mill on the Floss. i860 
 
 Another deeply significant tragedy of the inner life, enacted amidst the quaint folk and old- 
 fashioned surroundings of a country town (St. Ogg's is Gainsborough). The conflict of 
 affection and antipathy between a brother and sister, and again in the family relations of 
 their father, is a dominant motive ; but the emotional tension rises to a climax in Maggie's 
 unpremeditated yielding to an unworthy lover and betrayal of her finer nature. Brother 
 and sister (they stand psychologically for George Eliot herself and her brother Isaac) are 
 purified and reconciled only in death. Among the characters whose humours provide 
 many comic pages the three aunts are famous ; there is the wonted prodigality of 
 aphorisms. 
 
 — Silas Mamer, the Weaver of Raveloe. 1861 
 
 A country idyll of a century ago : contains in small compass the finest elements of the longer 
 novels. The wronged and despised weaver shuts himself up with his gold in misanthropic 
 solitude ; but his gold is stolen, and a ministering angel comes in the shape of a little child 
 to win him back to hope and love. Sin and its tragedy, innocence with its powers for 
 good, are the themes worked out with the usual strict causation ; while village humorists 
 sustain passages of genial comedy. 
 
 Romola. 1863 
 
 This novel marks the transition to a more systematic kind of philosophic realism and the 
 gradual exhaustion of her humour. It is based on a special study of Florentine history 
 in the epoch 1492-1509, the days of Lorenzo de' Medici, and the saintUness and all-con- 
 quering energy of Savonarola are finely portrayed. Romola is a tragic problem-novel of 
 temptation, crime, and retribution. The weak butterfly Tito mortally wrongs his bene- 
 factor and believes himself safe from the consequences ; but the net of destiny closes 
 
 70 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 round and he meets with his proper doom. The spiritual growth of Romola, tried by 
 many ordeals and many undeserved wrongs, is the artistic contrast to the base career of 
 Tito. .. 
 
 "Eliot, George" [continued). -r-Felix Holt, the Radical. 1866 
 
 This is a feebler work altogether. Holt is a champion of the worTdng-men at the period just 
 after the Reform Act, and is in love with a girl of the better classes. The doctrine evolved 
 from the study of industrial and social conditions is that true progress must come from 
 internal reform rather than from legislation. Gerald Massey, the poet, is believed to be the 
 original of Felix Holt. 
 
 — — Middlemarch. ' 1871-2 
 
 Pictures with intense realism and a wealth of detail the divers characters, social cliques, and 
 complex life of a provincial town. A novel almost destitute of plot, yet unified by the 
 dominant idea of moral causation into a, tragic drama of deserted ideals and failure. 
 Dorothea's unfulfilled aspirations, Casaubon's barren pedantry, Bulstrode's hypocrisy, 
 Lydgate's ambition quenched by an unsuitable marriage, all illustrate the fundamental 
 theorem ; the happier lives of Caleb (said to be a study of George Eliot's father) and 
 Mary Garth enforce the moral. Dorothea is the final incarnation of the ideal imaged in 
 Maggie and Romola, and is said to be drawn from Mrs. Mark Pattison. 
 
 Daniel Deronda. 1876 
 
 Sets forth a grave, spiritual conflict. The chief actors are a gay and accomplished girl, and 
 her husband, a selfish tyrant who exemplifies the blighting influences of purely material 
 civilization in the modern world. Closely connected is the story of the unselfish Deronda 
 and Mordecai, Jewish leaders in a Zionist scheme. The longest and heaviest of her 
 novels. A sombre book, with little humour.

 Mrs. Ewing was the daughter of Mrs. Gatty, the author and editor of children's books hardly

 and whimsical humour are charming to both old and young readers. These books— and 
 she wrote many others scarcely at all inferior. — are classics amongst literature for children.

 Gathering Clouds. 1896 
 
 A similar didactic romance, giving a view of the Byzantine Empire at the time of the pagan

 also a popular history of S. Chrysostom and of his stand against the growing dissoluteness

 Mainly incisive character-sketches of clerical people — John Orlebar, the Broad Churchman,

 An early attempt to depict the very poor sympathetically, and to study their social problems 
 from a human standpoint. A tragic story of factory-hands in Manchester, the cardinal 
 incident a murder with which Mary's lover is wrongly charged. Reveals the workings of 
 motive and conscience, and draws some beautiful types of intrinsic nobihty and fortitude. 
 Cousin Phillis is an affecting love story, set in pastoral surroundings. My French Master

 one of the first to claim the same standard of purity for men and women. Mr. Harrison's 
 Confessions is a humorous sketch of provincial life in the style of Cranford. 
 
 Cranford ; and other Tales. 1853 
 
 By far the finest of her novels, and worthy to stand with the Vicar of Wakefield and the best 
 of Jane Austen's. Dainty miniature painting of a little old-fashioned, peaceful country 
 town (Knutsford, in Cheshire), inhabited by widows and elderly spinsters living in genteel 
 poverty. A finely graduated series of characters, rich in feminine whimsies and foibles ; 
 with humorous descriptions of bygone etiquette, tea-drinkings, and gossip, and several 
 episodes that appeal to the heart. Captain Brown and Miss Matty are two of her sweetest 
 characters. The Moorland Cottage is a touching story of woman's love and devotion, and 
 The Crooked Branch, a dark and almost incredible tragedy : how a beloved son goes astray, 
 and at length becomes so abandoned that he robs his aged parents.

NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Gaskell, Elizabeth Cleghom {continued). — North and South. 1855 
 
 Another study of the labour question, on a broader scale than Mary Barton, from the stand- 
 point of a just and philanthropic manufacturer, who marries the heroine. Pleads for more 
 human relations between employers and employed, just as Charles Reade does in Put 
 Yourself in his Place, and aptly contrasts the temperament and spirit of the north and the 
 south, the country of the great manufacturers and that of the landed proprietors. 
 
 Lizzie Leigh ; and other Tales. 1855 
 
 Short stories, the best My Lady Ludlow, the character-portrait of a grand old lady, full of 
 aristocratic prejudices and conservatism, tempered by humour and goodness of mind. 
 
 Sylvia's Lovers. 1863 
 
 Written after the Cotton Famine of 1862-3, of which the final chapters are particularly 
 reminiscent. Theme, the mistakes and disappointments of love and wedlock. The 
 sufferings of whale-fishers and other humble folk of old "Whitby (Monkshaven) during the 
 French wars, and their indignation at the cruelties of impressment, deepen the pathetic 
 feeling. St. Sepulchre's is the Hospital of Holy Cross, near Winchester. 
 
 Wives and Daughters. 1866 
 
 Left unfinished, and completed by the writer's daughter. Goes deeply into motive and the 
 growth of character ; the issues just the natural issues of ordinary life, and the characters 
 shown in all the complexity and diversity that the ordinary characters of real life exhibit ; 
 e.g. Molly, a loyal and sunny-natured girl, and the second Mrs. Gibson, a subtly insincere 
 and egotistic woman. Like Cranford, has Knutsford for scene.

 Gibbon, Charles [1843-go]. Robin Gray. 1869 
 
 Gibbon was a man with no natural gift for novel- writing, who apphed himself to the occupation 
 with some commercial success. This is a novelistic treatment of the well-known Scots 
 tale. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 For Lack of Gold. 1871 
 
 Similarly this is an idyllic tale worked up with the ingredients demanded by the circulating 
 library to make a novel on the stereotyped plan. [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto.] 
 
 What Will the World Say ? 1875 
 
 A number of Scottish and English characters, soberly drawn, occasionally with humorous 
 traits. A millionaire's perplexities when his matrimonial schemes are thwarted by his 
 children, who difier so strangely from the generation he knew, their complicated love 
 affairs, and the growth of true afiection between a runaway couple. [2s., Chatto.] 
 
 The Braes of Yarrow. 1881 
 
 A tale of Flodden Field (1513). [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto.] 
 
 The Golden Shaft. 1882 
 
 The love-story of a provost's daughter, whose mother is prejudiced on the score of gentle birth, 
 and a young Scotch manufacturer, about whose origin there is an unpleasant mystery. 
 Various worthies of a Galloway village are drawn with sympathy or with the mildest 
 satire. [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto ; $1, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Grant, James [1822-87]. The Romance of War ; or. The Highlanders in Spain. 
 
 1846 
 
 Grant's typical romance — love-making in Perthshire, Highlanders in the Peninsular War, 
 
 and the Waterloo campaign ; battle scenes, duels, flirtations, and sketches of Spanish 
 
 character and manners ; the narrative ending with the hero's return to Scotland and union 
 
 with his love. All Grant's novels are suitable for boys. 
 
 The Adventures of Rob Roy. 1848 
 
 A collection of anecdotes and traditions about the career of the doughty cateran (c. 1715), 
 with very httle if any fiction.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Grant, James (continued). — ^The Adventures of an Aide-de-Camp. 1848 
 
 Campaigning and miscellaneous adventure in Italy, battle of Maida (1806) and siege of Scylla. 
 Zingari, brigands, patriots, French and British soldiers, all play their part. 
 
 Bothwell ; or, The Days of Queen Mary. 1851 
 
 Career of Mary's evil spirit, Bothwell (1566-77). Opens in Norway, where he is an ambassador 
 
 to the Danish King, with scenes of shipwreck and peril. Lady Bothwell's piteous tragedy, 
 the murder of Darnley, Bothwell's amour and marriage with Mary, his miserable end as a 
 captive in Malmo.

 Scottish soldiers of fortune in the Thirty Years' War ; Tilly, etc. (1626-9). 
 
 — The Yellow Frigate ; or, The Three Sisters. 1855 
 The romantic and tragic incidents that marked the close of James Ill's reign, the insurrection 
 
 of the nobles, the battle of Sauchiebum, and the murder of James (1488), followed by the 
 sea fights with the English in the Firth of Forth. The fiction has a more prosperous 
 ending. 
 
 — Harry Ogilvie ; or, The Black Dragoons. 1856 
 A Royalist story of the Great Civil War (1632-51). Scotch politics and religious feuds, the 
 
 Solemn League and Covenant, invasion of England, coronation of Charles II at Scone, 
 the battle of Inverkeithing and the sack of Dundee, with, of course, a love-story running 
 through the narrative.

 Sketches of Oriental life, scenery, religious and superstitious observances, and Oriental tales. 
 
 — ■- Arthur Blane ; or, The Hundred Cuirassiers. 1858 
 
 The Scottish Guard (1634-7). 
 
 — Lucy Arden. 1859 
 
 A complete narrative of the Jacobite rebeUion in 1715, with racy character-sketches of the 
 leaders and the more prominent rank and iile. The hero gets mixed up with the rising, 
 but escapes punishment and wins the heroine of the love-story. Grant shows much 
 irresponsible originality in making out " General " Forster to be a good-natured debauchee, 
 whose fondness for women nearly led to his capture by the enemy.

 Battle of Pinkie {1547).

 Adventures of a penniless gentleman, who serves in the Scots Greys under the Duke of 
 Cumberland in Hanover (1759) ; camp life, an exciting night action, swift and strange 
 turns of fortune, escapes, disguises, rescues, amours ; a rapid succession of melodramatic 
 events, with plenty of horror to flavour.

 [Each 28., Routledge (^i. Button, New York).] 
 
 Hall, Marie [nee Sibree, 1839-85]. Andrew Marvel and his Friends, [juvenile] 
 
 1873-4 
 A careful historical study of Kingston-upon-Hull and its worthies, with its relations to the 
 history of England during the Protectorate and the reign of Charles II. The two sieges 
 of Hull by the RoyaUsts in 1642-3, and the life of the poet Marvel, are the most im- 
 portant historical matters. [3s. 6d., A. Brown & Sons, Hull.] 
 
 Hamley, Sir Edward Bruce [1824-93]. Lady Lee's Widowhood. 1854 
 
 Not very complex in motive or characters, but vivacious and fuU of hearty good-humour. 
 Col. Lee is a fine type of character, contrasted with his swindling associate, whose degrad- 
 ation and ruin are pathetic. The incidents are of an interesting kind, if not exciting. 
 [2s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Helps, Sir Arthur [1813-75]. Realmah. 1868 
 
 A number of well-known statesmen, very thinly disguised, discuss the leading questions of

 Ivan de Biron. 1873 
 
 A story of Russia in the middle of the i8th Century. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Hughes, Thomas [1823-97]. Tom Brown's Schooldays. 1856 
 
 Judge Hughes may be grouped with the exponents of muscular Christianity, and is certainly 
 one of the most healthy and unaffected. This is a spirited account of Tom's early days in 
 the country and his Ufe at Rugby under Dr. Arnold, telling of his fights and friendships, 
 bird-nesting and poaching, school sports and escapades, the whole with a most infectious 
 sympathy for boyhood. The love of truth and manUness, Tom's honesty, loyalty, and 
 reverence for what is better than himself, make, and were intended to make, a strong 
 apjJeal to young readers. [3s. 6d. ($1) ; (Golden Treasury Ser.), 2s. 6d. n. ($1) ; (Prize 
 Edn.), 2s. 6d. (75c.) ; (Pocket Classics), 2S. n. (25c. n.), MacmiUan. Illustrated by E. J.

 Routledge; Pocket Edn. (New Universal Lib.), is.n., Routledge (50c., Button, New York).] 
 
 Tom Brown at Oxford. 1861 
 
 The history of Tom Brown's collegiate life — an ideal picture of a young Enghshman, the 
 athlete, scholar, gentleman. Most of the characters are new. Too obtrusively didactic, 
 although the book is silent on the inner life of the university, the prevailing thought, 
 jeUgious tendencies, and educational activities. Ends with Tom's marriage and a matri- 
 monial homily. [3s. 6d. ($1.50), 2S., MacmiUan; Pocket Edn. (New Universal Lib.), is. n., 
 Routledge (50c., Button, New York).] 
 
 Jenkins, John Edward [1838-1910]. Ginx's Baby: his Birth and other Mis- 
 fortunes. 1870 
 A satire on English benevolent institutions, illustrating, by the absurd efforts of a poor man 
 to get rid of his baby, the dangers to be feared from a vast pauper proletariat. The author 
 sums up as foUows : " Philosophers, Philanthropists, PoUticians, Papists and Protestants, 
 Poor Law Ministers and Parish Of&cers — ^while you have been theorising and discussing, 
 debating, wrangling, legislating and administrating — Good God ! between you all, 
 where has Ginx's baby gone to ? " [2s. 6d., MuUan, Belfast : o.p.] 
 
 75 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Jenkins, John Edward (continued). — Jobson's Enemies. 1879-82 
 
 Many characters and episodes, giving the humours of a small Canadian town seventy years ago, 
 after which the hero is brought to England. The general lesson is that a great career 
 may be ruined from despicable causes, and that a man who wishes to get on should not 
 be too uncompromising. [3s. 6d., Sonnenschein : o.p.] 
 
 Kavanagh, Julia [1824-77]. Madeleine : a Tale of Auvergne. 1848 
 
 A love-story, rich in pictures of places and manners in Auvergne (1804), pathetic and unfortu- 
 nate in its issue : the disappointed Madeleine devotes her life to founding and fostering an 
 orphanage. [2s., Ward & Lock, o.p. ; I1.25, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Nathalie. 1850 
 
 Scene, Normandy ; the country life and characters sketched from memories of a youth spent 
 there. Nathalie is a sprightly and impulsive Proven9al, whose.errors of tact and judgment 
 bring on herself many troubles ; the old Canoness is a fine old native type. A tender, 
 sentimental story, thoroughly naturalized as a delineation of French character. [2s. 6d., 
 Hurst & Blackett ; $1.25, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Adele. 1857 
 
 An idyllic picture of happy life in an old chateau, with affectionate and truthful drawing of 
 French life and manners ; the sunny-natured and high-bom heroine in the sequel marries an 
 Englishman. [2s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett, o.p. ; $1.25, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Silvia. 1870 
 
 To set before us the character and fortunes of this pretty Italian is the main object of the 
 novel, which contains pictures of scenery and country life in Italy and France, and 
 character-sketching of French people and English living abroad. Silvia is a wilful girl, 
 loyal and true, ignorant but gifted, and a winning character. Her love affairs with an 
 English engineer, and his melodramatic vendetta with a rascally innkeeper, are the chief 
 materials of the romance. (75c., Appleton, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Two Liiies. 1877 
 
 A pair of beautiful girls, intrinsically unlike in character, one of whom, after the proverbial 
 troubles, is married to the hero, who has had love passages with both. Character-sketches 
 of English people in Normandy, and some farcical pages, with descriptions of a picturesque 
 Norman town. [2s., Blackett, o.p. ; $1.25, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Forget-me-nots. 1878 
 
 Compact httle tales of quiet French hfe, sketches of girls, etc., mostly happy and peaceful in 
 motive, but touched now and again with pathos, e.g. the peasant idyll. By the Well, a 
 complete romance in miniature, the thoroughly native Story of Monique, Mimi's Sin, 
 and other Norman stories. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Bentley : o.p.] 
 
 Keaky, Annie Maria [1825-79]. Janet's Home. 1863 
 
 An uneventful story of home life, its joys and sorrows, daily hopes and cares ; with deUcate 
 drawing of average characters in the family of a poor tutor who married a weU-bom girl. 
 [3s. 6d. {5i), Macinillan.] 
 
 — — Oldbury. 1869 
 
 Resembles Cranford in its delineations of character and manners in a sniall country town. 
 An Evangelical clergyman, amiable, but narrow-minded and lacking in moral fibre, is 
 domineered over by the female leader of the serious party in Oldbury, is tried by the 
 loss of his wife, and finds his religion not adequate as a source of comfort ; Mrs. Cutwidge, 
 an egotistic woman who believes herself an agent of Providence, and the quaint, tender- 
 hearted old lady Mrs. Berry, are the other chief persons. Plot deals with the troubles of 
 an innocent family, one of whose members is a convict, and the pathos of a girl's love 
 when she fears the shame that will take her lover from her. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Castle Daly. 1875 
 
 Irish life fifty years ago at the time of the famine and the Smith O'Brien insurrection. The 
 plot deals with many romantic and tragic vicissitudes, and furnishes views of the starving 
 peasantry and their squalid but contented existence, and of the landowning classes. 
 
 76 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 The Dalys are half English. Mr. Daly, who is shot in mistake for an agent, is beloved of 
 his tenantry ; one son joins in the rising, another, educated at Eton and prejudiced in 
 favour of England, is ultimately converted to Home Rule. The author is studiously im- 
 partial. There are other EngUsh and Irish types (the nationahst O'Donnell being probably 
 a portrait), also descriptions of scenery in Galway and Connemara. [3s. 6d., Macmillan ; 
 Si. 25, $1, Porter, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Keary, Annie Maria (continued). — A York and Lancaster Rose. 1876 
 
 Contrasting characters of two girls. [3s. 6d. ($1), Macmillan.]

 A fine novel left unfinished, and completed by Mrs. MacQuoid. [3s. 6d. {$1), Macmillan.] 
 
 Kennedy, Patrick [1801-73]. The Banks of the Boro : a Chronicle of the County 
 
 of Wexford. 1867 
 
 A country tale by the well-known student of Irish mythology and antiquities, embodying a 
 
 mass of local tales, ballads, and legends, illustrating in picturesque variety the home life, 
 
 the customs and traditions, and the mercurial temperament of the peasant. [2s., M'Gla- 
 
 shan & Gill, Dubhn, 1875.] 
 
 Kettle, Rosa Mackenzie. Lewell Pastures. 1854 
 
 The Mistress of Langdale Hall. 1872 
 
 A domestic story of life in the West Riding on the fringe of the manufacturing district. 
 Several characters hold managers' and other positions in mills. A daughter's estrangement 
 from her parents by cleaving to an eccentric and imperious relative, with whom they are at 
 feud, is the motive, which leads to some emotional scenes. 
 
 Smugglers and Foresters. 1875 
 
 [Each 3s. 6d., Unwin.] 
 
 KiNGSLEY, Rev. Charles [1819-75]. Alton Locke, Tailor and Poet: an Auto- 
 biography. 1850 
 
 A tract as well as a novel ; an embodiment of the doctrines of Christian Socialism, inspired 
 by Carlyle and by Kingsley's " master," F. D. Maurice. It exposes the evils of " sweating " 
 in realistic pictures of the London poor, and enters indignantly into the broader question 
 of the condition of England at the time of the Chartist agitation {1838-42). The history 
 of a life made abortive by the tyranny of circumstances. Alton Locke is a strenuous 
 fighter for the rights of his fellows, who goes to prison for the cause and dies tragically. 
 Among the characters is prominent the generous and fierce old Scot, Sandy Mackaye. 
 
 Yeast. 1851 
 
 A fierce social pamphlet rather than a novel, giving expression to the discontent seething in 
 rural districts — the thread of romance, a young fox-hunter's love for an idealist and ascetic 
 girl, merely stringing together denunciatory pictures of the condition of the country 
 labourer, his poverty, immorality, insanitary surroundings, the tyrannous game laws, 
 poaching, and so on. It also opens up problems of faith and scepticism. Appeared in 
 Fraser's Magazine in 1848, and is therefore his first novel. 
 
 Hypatia ; or. New Foes with an Old Face. 1853 
 
 Hellenic Egypt (c. 413-5), when Christianity and paganism were at war ; Goths, Romans, 
 Greeks, and a crowd of minor races come on the stage ; and there is great variety of 
 situation and incident, of dramatic and emotional passages. The heroine is the famous 
 votress and martyr of Neo-Platonism. The polemics of old heresies and old religions 
 have a significant bearing on recent controversies, and enable Kingsley to exalt "Muscular 
 Christianity " at the expense of what he held to be modern errors. 
 
 Westward Ho ! 1855 
 
 A kind of national Saga, bodying forth the spirit of adventure that sent Drake, Raleigh, 
 Hawkins, Grenville and their compeers to wreck the world-empire of Spain in the East 
 and West hemispheres. An impassioned narrative of high achievement, culminating in 
 
 77 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 the overthrow of the Armada. A band of young adventurers from Devon sail on a fanciful 
 quest to the Spanish Main. Though Kingsley had not yet been there, he paints the 
 American scenery magnificently. He idealizes his heroes, who are faultless young men 
 from Cambridge, rather than the fierce and lawless natures depicted by Elizabethan play- 
 wrights. The prose-epic of Muscular Christiahity. 
 
 Kingsley, Rev. Charles {continued). — The Heroes ; or, Greek Fairy Tales for my 
 Children. [juvenile] 1856 
 
 The stories of Perseus and Andromeda, the Argonauts, and Theseus, retold in a simple, straight- 
 forward style, like a modem tale of adventure, so as to be intelligible and delightful to 
 children. The moral tone of all Kingsley's work is here, but it does not overweight the 
 stories, as happened to some of Hawthorne's Tanglewood Tales. 
 
 Two Years Ago. 1857 
 
 The story revolves round the life of a rationalist, and, beside the personal interests, opens 
 up many problems of conduct and religion. Contains perhaps his best characterization 
 of Ufelike individuals. There are many descriptive passages dealing with the scenery of 
 Devon and North Wales. Muscular Christianity is definitely embodied in the athletic parson. 
 
 The Water-Babies : a Fairy Tale for a Land-Baby. 1863 
 
 A poor little chimney-sweep is carried oft by a good fairy, and being equipped with gills is 
 introduced to the marvels of the world of waters. The aim is didactic. The pretty little 
 fables which alternate with the gay burlesque inculcate the love of Nature, the beauty of 
 purity, cleanliness, simplicity, reverence. 
 
 Hereward the Wake ; Last of the English. i856 
 
 A direct and not unsuccessful imitation of the Sagas — the whole spirit of the book Scandi- 
 navian. Hereward is half a Dane, and refuses to fight under the West Saxon Harold. His 
 career is like that of the usual Saga hero — a wild, unruly youth, outlawry, brilhant 
 exploits abroad, and a return home at last to fight for his patrimony in the Fens. A 
 singular contrast to Macfarlane's Hereward — he is no true patriot, but a fierce, passionate, 
 unmanageable hero, a true Viking, with fits of Berserk madness. A very free rendering of 
 history, but full of life touches and a genuine sense of tragedy. Kingsley's most " muscu- 
 lar " novel.

 Kingsley, Henry [1830-76]. The Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn. 1859 
 
 Henry Kingsley was more of a noveUst than his brother, inasmuch as he excelled where Charles 
 was weak, that is in the delineation of character. His first two novels were his best, 
 freshly made as they were out of an abundant store of personal recollections, Kingsley 
 having lived a nomadic, knockabout life in Devon, as a boy, and then on the cattle- 
 stations and the goldfields of New South Wales. The scheme of Geoffrey Hamlyn is the 
 history of a family and their friends, who leave Devon and settle on farms in New South 
 Wales, where the villain of the piece, formerly transported as a convict, turns up as head 
 of a fiendish gang of bushrangers. The incidents are thrilling, the scenes of happy family 
 life and the portraits of healthy sterling character have a genuine fascination, and the 
 glorious scenery of Gippsland is depicted with a vivid pen very different from his brother's 
 elaborate word-painting. 
 
 Ravenshoe. 1862 
 
 Likewise a family romance, introducing us to a crowd of attractive people, among whom even 
 the villains and the blackguards have a certain bonhomie. The plot may be neglected, 
 elaborate though it is. The squire of Ravenshoe, his scapegrace brother the blackleg 
 Lord Walter, the old priest, the children, servants, fishermen, and West Country folk 
 generally, are a galaxy of diverse character, and old dowager Lady Ascot, the grand 
 seigneur Lord Saltire, and old Humby, the rustic squire, show real humour 
 
 — Austin Elliot [with The Harveys]. 1863 
 
 cha! 
 
 md \ 
 
 78 
 
 A slight story with beautiful characters, a charming friendship, and a love affair that is like 
 an idealized friendship. Eton, Wales, and Scotland are some of the scenes. 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 KiNGSLEY, Henry {continued). — ^The Hillyars and the Burtons : a Story of Two 
 Families. 1865 
 
 As inchoate as anything he vsTOte. A baronet's family and the family of a blacksmith are brought 
 into contact by events. Kingsley pursues the fortunes of the several members in Chelsea 
 and in Australia, and portrays a notable set of honest, manly, and affectionate people. 
 Sketches of Australian Ufe and scenery show his deep enthusiasm. 
 
 iSilcote of Silcotes. 1867 
 
 A family chronicle, showing a number of strong, masterful, clashing personalities in the act 
 of development ; chief among them Silcote, the " Dark Squire," a powerful, bullying, yet 
 engaging old " Berserk." Terse, critical, sarcastic dialogue ; situations rather too mono- 
 tonously charged with dramatic irony. Scenes : a fine old English country house, a great 
 school, and Italy during the war of liberation (1859), with the battleiields of Montebello 
 and Palestro. Touches on Puseyism. 
 
 Mademoiselle Mathilde. 1868 
 
 A romance of England and France during the French Revolution. Marat is a prominent 
 figure, and Robespierre and CamiUe Desmoulins come on the stage. The first half light 
 comedy, the second melodrama, with the massacres of the Abbaye for the catastrophe. 
 
 Stretton. i86g 
 
 Like most of his novels, a group of characters rather than a series of events. Recounts the 
 childhood, life at school and at Oxford, and the early manhood of children of several county 
 families in Shropshire. Sets forth the same great ideal of honest, noble, and affectionate 
 manliness. Aunt Eleanor, the frank, sarcastic, warm-hearted farmer, is the figure we 
 remember the book by. Ends with a confused account of the outbreak of the Indian 
 Mutiny. 
 
 Old Margaret \_with other Stories]. 1871 
 
 A story of the people of Ghent in the time of Philip the Good of Burgundy (c. 1400). 
 Plenty of action, description and character, and of his peculiar touches of human nature. 
 The Van Eycks are brought in. 
 
 The Harveys \_with Austin Elliot]. 1872 
 
 The history of a very Bohemian family, comprising pictures of life as varied as the characters. 
 Old Mr. Harvey, shiftless and irresponsible, simple-minded, but shrewd in the pursuit 
 of theological difficulties ; his favourite son, the artist, whose school life and early career 
 are alive with adventure : these and the rest of the family, with their pecuniary troubles 
 and cheery disposition, are portraits conceived in Kingsley's usual buoyant and humorous 
 spirit. Has a good deal to say about Spiritualism.

 Kingsley was a war correspondent, and the first Englishman to enter Sedan.

 A tale of Zululand. [2s. 6d., Hodder.] 
 
 Lang, John. The Wetherbys ; or, A few Chapters of Indian Experience. 1850 
 
 A journalist's picture of Anglo-Indian life and manners before the Mutiny (c. 1845) ; caustic 
 in its satire and caricatures of bygone types of English and half-castes. Ferozeshah 
 supplies a battle-piece. [Chapman : o.p.] 
 
 Lawrence, George Alfred [1827-76]. Guy Livingstone ; or, Thorough. 1857 
 
 Lawrence wrote a number of crude, defiant, and theatrical romances of contemporary life, 
 proclaiming his gospel of victorious manhood. His " physical force doctrine " was called 
 by detractors the creed of " Muscular Blackguardism." Guy is his representative hero, 
 a Byronic, arrogant, aristocratic young man, of prodigious bodily strength and implacable 
 temper — a Berserk out of his element in an age of peace and civilization, who discharges 
 his pent-up energies in libertine amours and physical sports, in the lack of more serious 
 fields for his prowess. His fellows, including the old crony who writes the memoir, love 
 him in spite of his cruelty and egoism. The supposed biographer introduces congenial 
 anecdotes, such as the defence of a house against Irish moonlighters by a handful of gentle- 
 men, with tremendous carnage. Brilliantly satirized in Bret Harte's Condensed Novels. 
 [With introd. by E. A. Baker (Half-forgotten Books), 2s., Routledge (Si, Dutton, New 
 York, 1903).] 
 
 Sword and Gown. ' 1859 
 
 Here another champion of muscularity, " the Cool Captain," wins the heart of a Society beauty 
 and then divulges that he has a wife living. He is eventually killed in the Crimea, whither 
 the girl has followed him as a hospital nurse. The novelist hopes that Heaven may have 
 mercy on this bold rider's soul, [is., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 Brakespeare ; or, The Fortunes of a Free-Lance. 1868 
 
 An historical and romantic version of the muscular novel. Brakespeare is a free companion, 
 like the famous mercenary Sir John Hawkwood. An almost epical -panorama of the 
 great days of Cressy and Poitiers, the days of Manny and Chandos (1347— c. 1365). After 
 bearing the brunt of a hundred combats, Lawrence's champion falls at the hands of Du 
 Guesclin. The fighting scenes reveal the inspiration of the Norse Sagas, which were at the 
 height of a fresh popularity in Lawrence and Kingsley's time. [2s., Routledge.] 
 
 Breaking a Butterfly : Blanche Ellerslie's Ending. 1869 
 
 Another embodiment of Lawrence's doctrine of the overman. His style is often vivid and 
 imaginative, but at its worst as florid and pretentious as Ouida's, and by no means " a 
 well of English undefiled." [2s., Tinsley : o.p.] 
 
 Hagarene. 1874 
 
 Lawrence's idea of an adventuress. [2s., Chapman : o.p.] 
 
 Le Fanu, Joseph Sheridan [1814-73]. The Fortunes of Col. Torlogh O'Brien. 
 
 1847 
 
 Le Fanu had already ijwritten Cock and Anchor : a Tale of Old Dublin (1845), a gloomy novel 
 of no importance. This is a good historical novel of 1689-91, when the Jacobites and 
 Williamites were fighting and plotting to ruin each other. The battle of Aughrim is well 
 described. [3s. 6d., Duffy, Dublin.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Le Fanu, Joseph Sheridan (continued). — The House by the Churchyard. 1863 
 
 Le Farm's element was the gruesome and the uncanny, and he produced some remarkable tales 
 
 in the manner of Poe. This is a murder mystery in which a sinister and ingenious ruffian, 
 
 Black Dillon, cuts a grim figure. The setting gives scenes of social life in a colony of 
 
 officers and their families near Dublin. [3s. 6d., DuSy, Dublin.] 
 
 Uncle Silas : a Tale of Bartram Haugh. 1864 
 
 The ward of Uncle Silas is the heroine. He is a mysterious and malevolent old man who 
 
 schemes to marry her to her profligate cousin and to get hold of her money. Fair means 
 failing, a fiendish plot is contrived, into which, however, one of the accomplices, a wicked 
 French governess, falls a victim. [3s. 6d., Dufiy, Dublin.] 
 
 In a Glass Darkly. 1872 
 
 Five stories from the diary of a neuropathic doctor — a veritable banquet of horrors. In one 
 
 a clergyman is haunted by a loathsome familiar in the shape of a black monkey, and 
 is driven to suicide. Swedenborgianism, vampires, gruesome apparitions, trances, and 
 other material for creepy sensations are skilfully utilized. Green Tea is Le Fanu's master- 
 piece of terror. [4s., Macmillau : o.p.] 
 
 Linton, Eliza [«/e Lynn ; 1822-98]. Grasp your Nettle. 1865 
 
 Sober delineation of ordinary life in a smaU circle of country society, living in their own little 
 world, immersed in their own petty pro] ects and interests, local gossip and family squabbles . 
 The rector's wife and daughter, the Calvinistic curate awkwardly in love with a bewitching 
 foreigner, the Dorcas Society, old maids and old bachelors, such are the characters. 
 The nettle to be grasped by the heroine's husband is the threat of troubles and disgrace 
 that may arise from the reappearance of his first wife, believed to be dead. [2s., Smith & 
 Elder, 1876.] 
 
 — — Lizzie Lorton of Greyrigg. 1866 
 
 A Cumberland parish in early 19th century years, in a state of semi-barbarism and irreligion, 
 with a devout young ritualist newly appointed as rector. Lizzie Lorton, a half-savage 
 young beauty, brought up in a narrow home and panting for a fuUer life, is loved by the 
 young Oxonian, but prefers a muscular but worthless fellow, who flirts with and jilts her. 
 Here are the elements of a drama having some sensational features. The minor characters 
 bring in comic views of Hfe among the dalesmen : the dialect faithfully reproduced. 
 [2s., Ward & Lock : o.p.] 
 
 Sowing the Wind. 1867 
 
 A rather didactic novel of character, with a disastrous married life as main theme. Sympathy 
 
 is concentrated on a woman of energetic and loyal character, whom her husband loves 
 for her physical beauty alone. The course of events exposes the weakness of this sensual 
 and selfish man, who dies tragically before the end, leaving his wife to marry a brave 
 and worthy lover. [3s. 6d., zs., is. n., Chatto.] 
 
 The True History of Joshua Davidson, Christian Communist. 1872 
 
 A didactic novel, the memoirs of a young working-man, who, in his mistakes and readjustments 
 to the ideal, typifies the follower of Christ, [is., Methuen.] 
 
 Under Which Lord. 1879 
 
 The rival lords for a woman's devotion are her husband and the priest. A tract disguised as a 
 
 novel, very one-sided in its illustration of the moral. The hero is a saintly Agnostic, 
 much ideaUzed, the object being to show the evils of priestly interference; the orthodox 
 Christian is depicted as a tyrant and a bully. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Manning, Anne [1807-79]. The Maiden and Married Life of Mary Powell. 
 
 [juvenile] 1850 
 The family life of the poet Milton, set forth in the autobiography of his wife (1643—6). Their 
 meeting and courtship, their Loudon life, the famous estrangement that led to the tracts 
 on divorce, and their ultimate reconciliation, related with fullness of detail and deep 
 feminine sympathy. Written in a close imitation of the old prose. [Illustrated by John 
 JeUicoe and Herbert Rsulton, 3s. 6d., Routledge; $1.50, Dutton, New York; see also

 The founder of the ducal house of Leeds tells his own story, in charmingly old-fashioned lan-

 ■ The Household of Sir Thomas More. 1851 
 
 A restoration of the man and his times, in the imaginative form of a journal by his daughter 
 Margaret ; founded on a study of Erasmus and other authorities and imitating the coeval

 The story of Tasso and Leonora d'Este, sister of the Duke of Ferrara, told by the lady's

 Marryat, Florence [Mrs. Francis Lean, prev. Mrs. Ross Church, 1838-99]. Too 
 Good for Him. 1865 
 
 Florence Marryat was a daughter of the great nautical romancer, and published some ninety 
 novels of a middling popular character. The hero of this, an unloved and neglected son, 
 grows up dissipated and unfortunate, and in marrying for money secures a bride whom 
 the authoress puts forward as a perfect creature — too good for him. [2s., Wame.] 
 
 Petronel. 1870 
 
 A successful doctor takes under his protection the orphan daughter of the woman who 
 jilted him. The girl's impulsive and skittish but loyal character wins the heart of this 
 staid, middle-aged man, and he marries her in spite of hostile criticism. One of the more 
 passable of her domestic and " psychical " novels. [2s., Warne.] 
 
 Melville, George James Whyte- [1821-78]. Captain Digby Grand : an auto- 
 biography. 1853 
 
 A novel after Lytton's style (as exemplified in the Caxtons, etc.), with sporting scenes and 
 characters grafted on. Whyte-Melville's speciality was the sporting novel, peopled with 
 daring hunters of both sexes, social scenes and country-house life — everything, in short, 
 connected with the hunting-field. [3s. 6d., is. 6d., Ward & Lock; is. 6d. ($1.25), Longman, 
 New York.] 
 
 Tilbury Nogo, an Unsuccessful Man. 1854 
 
 Mr. Nogo, a wealthy sportsman, writes his own reminiscences in a chatty and desultory way, 
 with many a regretful reflection thrown in. Runs with the hounds, after-dinner talks 
 about dogs and horses, scenes of high play and cheating, desperate flirtations, are loosely 
 combined into a story. Mr. Nogo would be a great hunter, but his prowess hardly equals 
 his desires. [3s. 6d., Ward & Lock ; J i .25, Longman, New York.] 
 
 82 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Melville, George James Whyte- {continued).— Tht Interpreter. 1858 
 
 A serial novel, changing its scenes from England to Turkey, Paris, Hungary, and the Crimea. 
 Naughty characters, e.g. an Hungarian princess employed by the Austrian Government 
 to seduce her lover, a wicked guardsman, etc. ; but they are regarded through a rosy 
 atmosphere that veils the unpleasantness. As to the events connected with the war, it 
 may be mentioned that Melville served in the Turkish contingent. [3s. 6d., Ward & Lock ; 
 IS. 6d. (§1.25, 60C.), Longman, New York.] 
 
 Holmby House. i860 
 
 A romance of 1644-9 — Newbury, Naseby, the captivity and death of the King. Mary Cave, 
 the high-souled heroine, is perhaps the author's best female character ; and Cromwell is 
 presented in an unprejudiced portrait. [3s. 6d., is. 6d., Ward & Lock; is. 6d. (?i.25, 
 60c.), Longman, New York.] 
 
 Market Harborough ; or, How Mr. Sawyer went to the Shires. 1861 
 
 A sporting novel of Leicestershire ; published with a rollicking tale. Inside the Bar ; or, Sketches 
 at Soakington. [3s. 6d., Ward & Lock; $1.25, Longman, New York.] , 
 
 The Gladiators : a Tale of Rome and Judaea. 1863 
 
 An energetic story of Rome and the Holy Land (a.d. 69-70). The hero, a noble British slave, 
 is loved by a beautiful patrician, who in turn is loved by the Tribune Placidus, a subtle 
 compound of sensuality and ambition. Britons and Roman nobles fight in the arena ; 
 then the scene is transferred to Jerusalem, the siege of which takes up the later chapters. 
 The defeat and death of VitelUus afford lurid scenes of tumult and carnage ; and the finale 
 is dramatic. [3s. 6d., is.. Ward & Lock ; (New Universal Lib.), is. n., Routledge (50c., 
 Button, New York) ; is. 6d., (§1.25, 60c.), Longman, New York.]

 The story of Mary Queen of Scots; Holyrood, Arabella Stuart, etc. [is. 6d. ($1.25, 60c.),

 Cerise. 1866 
 
 A melodramatic tale of Louis XIV's last days and the Regency of Orleans ; love entangle- 
 ments, court intrigues, privateering, adventures in the West Indies, and dealings with the 
 Jacobites. [3s. 6d., Ward & Lock ; |i. 25, Longman, New York.] 
 
 — Sarchedon : a Tale of the Great Queen. 1871 
 
 Egypt and Assyria in the times of Semiramis (2000 B.C.). A story of action, with some char- 
 acter-drawing. The priests of Baal play a conspicuous part, and by a bold anachronism 
 the author introduces events in Egypt just before the Exodus. [3s. 6d., Ward & Lock ,•: 
 I1.25, Longman, New York.] 
 
 — Satanella : a Story of Punchestown. 1872 
 
 A racy racing story, showing the best side of military and sporting life — hearty good fellows 
 are the typical characters. The fate of the heroine and her favourite mare (both called 
 Satanella) is tragic. [3s. 6d., Ward & Lock ; $1.25, Longman, New York.] 
 
 — Katerfelto : a Story of Exmoor. 1875 
 
 A semi-historical novel of 1763, crowded with incident and picturesque character, gipsies, 
 deer-hunters, and other inhabitants of the moor. Stag-hunting is described with the zest 
 and knowledge of a keen sportsman. [3s. 6d., is. 6d., Ward & Lock ; I1.25, Longman, 
 New York.] 
 
 Sister Louise ; or. The Story of a Woman's Repentance. 1876 
 
 A French romance of Louis XIV's time {c. 1642-55). [2s., Ward & Lock; with Rosine,

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Neale, Rev. John Mason (continued). — Theodora Phranza. 1857 
 
 A story closing with the fall of Constantinople (1453). Neale was an Anglican divine who 
 wrote a long series of historical tales for children, most of them illustrating Church history. 
 This and the preceding are among the best of these. [3s. 6d., S.P.C.K.] 
 
 Norton, Hon. CaroUne Ehzabeth Sarah [nee Sheridan ; 1808-77]. Stuart of Dun- 
 leath : a Story of Modem Times. 1851 
 
 A leisurely and highly elaborated novel of the old-fashioned type, going into minutest par- 
 ticulars about home and family surroundings, family history, etc. There are nearly a score 
 of separate characters, chiefly Scotch — the heroine is an immaculate creature, the 
 hero, a weak man, who risks his ward's fortune, loses it and disappears, returning to find 
 her wedded to a brute. She dies of a broken heart. Said to embody a good deal of veiled 
 autobiography. [2s., Ward & Lock : o.p.] 
 
 Lost and Saved. 1863 
 
 A special pleading for women wronged, maintaining that the men suffer too lightly and the 
 women out of all proportion to their faults. The girl who is shamed is innocent, while a 
 Society woman, whose offences are many, is able to present a fair face to the world. Among 
 the crowd of minor characters the vulgar and magnificent Marchioness of Updown is 
 conspicuous. [5s., Hurst & Blackett : o.p.] 
 
 Old Sir Douglas. 1868 
 
 The hero is an elderly Scotsman, a high-bred Christian gentleman, weak-natured, but in his 
 generosity and chivalrous loyalty a very Bayard. These traits he exhibits disastrously 
 in his indulgent policy towards a profligate nephew, and again when entrapped into a behef 
 in his wife's unfaithfulness. The domestic plot has side-scenes of Society life, in which 
 there is characterization and satire of social types, such as the pharisaical old dowager, 
 a grim and bigoted Presbyterian, the selfish fast man, and the stiff-necked Scot. [6s., 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 Oliphant, Laurence [1829-88]. Piccadilly. 1870 
 
 An amusing Satire on contemporary society, telling ironically how a mercenary aristocrat 
 introduces a family of moneyed nobodies to fashionable circles in London. Tilts at a 
 variety of objects which the Bohemian author detested, and half covertly expounds his 
 peculiar theosophy, which was groxmded on Swedenborgianism and the gospel of the 
 inner life. [3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., Blackwood.] 
 
 Altiora Peto. 1883 
 
 A similar combination ol satire and low comedy in the form of a Society novel with an ex- 
 position of mystical doctrines. Altiora is victimized by her guardians. An unconventional 
 pair of American girls and their caricature of a Yankee chaperon are genially sketched. 
 The love scenes are highly abstract dialogues on such recondite subjects as matter and 
 spirit, humanitarian ideals, etc. [3s. 6d., 2S. 6d., Blackwood. Illustrated : 6s., Black- 
 wood.] 
 
 Palgrave, W. Gifford. Hermann Agha : an Eastern Narrative. 2nd ed. 1872 
 
 One of our great Oriental romances. The author, who lived as a Jesuit missionary among 
 the scenes he describes so brilliantly, claims that his story is truer than even the Arabian 
 Nights to the true Orient. The story {1762-8) of Hermann Wolfi, the favourite officer of 
 Ali Bey, who revolted from the Porte in 1768 and ruled Egypt till 1771, when he overran 
 Syria, but was at last defeated. A thrilUng narrative of Hermann's adventures at Bagdad, 
 Diar-Bekr, and in the desert, and of his perilous amour with a beautiful Arab. 
 Transfused with a passionate love of the desert and the free life of the Bedouin, as 
 Lavengro is with the outdoor spirit of the gipsy. [H. S. King & Co. : o.p.] 
 
 Payn, James [1830-98]. Lost Sir Massingberd. 1864 
 
 An ingenious plot-novel, revolving round the mysterious disappearance of a " colossally 
 nefarious " baronet. Payn was a follower of TroUope, whose better qualities he now 
 and then reproduced, e.g. in his best story By Proxy. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER

 Contains some humorous scenes and a good many jokes, with a pair of diverting journalists. 
 [23., Chatto ; loc, Munro, New York.] 
 
 Blondel Parva. 1868 
 
 A concise example of the novel of plot. A ruined man insures his life for the benefit of his 
 wife and daughter ; then disappears. When, later on, his daughter is entangled with 
 two suitors, one of these, the villain, threatens to expose the fraud ; but after divers com- 
 plications a happy conclusion is reached, [o.p. ; 2 vols., Bradbury.] 
 
 Bentinck's Tutor. 1868 
 
 A plot-novel, hingeing on the reappearance of a young heir supposed to be drowned, and the 
 discomfiture of the villains. Local colouring from the Lake District (which Payn knew 
 well enough to write a guide-book). [2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — Not Wooed, but Won. 1871 
 
 Full of incident ; how an attractive heroine with a large circle of admirers is lucky enough to 
 secure a fortune by one marriage and an estimable lover by the next. [2s., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 — Fallen Fortunes. 1876 
 
 The plot excites the reader's suspense as to whether the virtuous people will or will not be 
 rewarded with a fortune. Quiet portraiture of character, e.g. the jocular Mr. Dalton and 
 the selfish and offensive Mrs. Campden. [2s., Chatto ; 75c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — By Proxy. 1S78 
 
 A strong plot-novel dealing with EngHsh people in China and at home, and containing many 
 passages descriptive of northern Chinese landscapes and ways of life. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — Less Black than We're Painted. 1878 
 
 Very favourable to the theatrical profession ; the heroine an actress, who reforms her spend- 
 thrift husband and steers a happy and prosperous course through severe trials. [3s. 6d., 
 2S., Chatto.] 
 
 — A Grape from a Thorn. 1881 
 
 Life at a watering-place, foUies and vanities of fashionable people, the Jacobite craze of a 
 country gentleman, and similar stuff, treated in a light satirical vein. The love story con- 
 cerns a high-bom girl, the " Grape," and a pair of Bohemian friends. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Canon's Ward. 1884 
 
 Depicts a placid, kindly group of people, at their head the scholarly and amiable old Canon, 
 into whose blameless life sorrow comes ungently. The Ward makes a secret marriage ; 
 but, her husband being drowned, a man uses his knowledge of the case to make her marry 
 him. A happy conclusion is skilfully arranged. [2s., Chatto ; $1, Dodd & Mead, New 
 York.] 
 
 — The Heir of the Ages. 1886 
 
 The title refers to a wonderful discovery of a lost Saxon treasure. The main interest is in 
 a governess who takes to writing and suddenly becomes famous, and the doings of a villain 
 who makes love to her in his wife's hfetime. [2s., Smith & Elder: o.p.] 
 
 Reade, Charies [1814-84]. Peg Woffington. 1853 
 
 A free portrait of the famous Irish actress {1720-60) in the emotional episode dramatized 
 in Masks and Faces (1852) by Reade and Taylor. The culminating scene in both is a 
 contest of magnanimity between the injured women. 
 
 Christie Johnstone. 1853 
 
 Based on Reade's knowledge and liking of Scotch fishing folk. A blas4 nobleman goes 
 among the fishing population of a town on the east coast of Scotland, and learns charity 
 from their rough but sincere and hearty character, getting a taste of real life in an 
 adventure ■ that calls out his manhood. Christie and Peg Wof&ngton are Reade's best 
 women characters.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Reade, Charles (continued). — It is Never Too Late to Mend. 1856 
 
 Attacks two social evils — the prison system, which is indicted for its culture of vice ; and 
 greed for gold, exemplified in the Australian adventures of two gold-diggers. Founded 
 on industrious research on a gigantic scale ; the prison chapters based on disclosures as to 
 the cruelties practised at Winson Green gaol, Birmingham, 185 1-3. Brown was sketched 
 from Warder Evans (d. 1903) . Many of the episodes are of an exciting melodramatic kind, 
 but the most horrible rest on documentary proofs. Among the characters may be mentioned 
 the saintly and chivalrous chaplain, Mr. Eden, who interferes in the odious tyranny of the 
 prison. 
 
 The Cloister and the Hearth. 1861 
 
 As a piece of historical narrative, crowded with characters, brilliantly pictorial, and based on 
 indefatigable study, this is one of our finest novels of the Middle Ages, taking the hero from 
 the Netherlands through Germany and France to Italy and Rome, and depicting the state 
 of all these countries. Attempts vrith amazing success to reconstruct the whole Ufe of the 
 time. The hero is said to be the father of Erasmus, and his story to be true in the main. 
 Filled from beginning to end with rapid adventure, with glowing and diversified scenes of 
 hfe, and inspired with a brotherly feeling for human nature in all its phases. [Illus- 
 trated by M. B. Hewerdine, 6s. n., 4to, Chatto, igoi : see also infra.'] 
 
 Love Me Little, Love Me Long. 1859 
 
 Hard Cash [sequel]. 1863 
 
 Romances carefully built up on solid matters of fact, with an ideaUzed pair of lovers in the 
 simple chivalrous sailor, David Dodd, and the Diana-Uke Lucy Fountain. The hard 
 cash is David's hard-earned fortune, fallen into the clutches of a swindler. David goes 
 mad with the shock ; hence realistic descriptions of an asylum, founded on a mass of 
 documents about lunacy and its treatment in private asylums which evoked rabid criticism . 
 
 Griffith Gaunt ; or, Jealousy. 1866 
 
 A tragic romance of jealousy and the ruin it brings on innocent people. The pure and mag- 
 nanimous heroine is wrongfully suspected by her husband, a despicable fellow, who even- 
 tually goes to the dogs ; and he leaves her and marries again. Later on she is accused of 
 murdering him, and a grim catastrophe is hardly averted by the generous activity of the 
 other woman. A happy sequel is appended to these dark scenes. The reaUsm ofiended 
 prejudiced critics, and the novel was severely handled, among others by Swinburne. 
 
 Foul Play. 1869 
 
 Title refers to a young merchant's conspiracy to wreck one of his own ships and pocket the 
 insurance money. The interest is divided between the steps by which this is brought to 
 light and the adventures of two lovers on a desert islet in the Pacific ; this Crusoe 
 episode has several fresh and entertaining features, but the author's attempts to portray 
 character and emotions are singularly unsuccessful. 
 
 — Put Yourself in His Place. 1870 
 
 Condemns rattening and the underhand methods of the trades unions, pleading for sym- 
 pathy, in the place of hostility, between capital and labour. 
 
 — A Terrible Temptation : a Story of the Day. 1871 
 
 The man of letters, Rolfe, is Reade's own portrait. This was the novel which the American 
 reviewers stigmatized as " carrion literature." 
 
 — A Simpleton. 1873 
 
 — The Wandering Heir. 1873 
 Two of his inferior later novels, the second suggested by the Tichborne case. 
 
 — A Woman Hater. 1877 
 
 Depicts the insanitary conditions of village life. Hill Stoke is Stoke Row, a hamlet on the 
 estate of Reade's brother at Ipsden.

 Reade, Ch&,rles (continued). — ^The Perilous Secret. 1884 
 
 A posthumous novel based on his Adelphi drama Love and Money (1882). 
 
 Single Heart and Double Face. 1884 
 
 A novelistic version of his sensational play of the same name {1883). 
 
 The Jilt ; and Other Tales. 1884 
 
 Good Stories of Man and Other Animals. 1884 
 
 Two posthumous collections of his short stories. [Ea. 3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto ; ?i.25, Scribner, 
 New York. Works : 18 vols., $24, Dana Estes, Boston.] 
 
 Reade, WiUiam Winwood [1838-75]. The Martyrdom of Man. 1872 
 
 Winwood Reade was a gifted nephew of Charles Reade, who travelled in Africa, exploded 
 Dr. Chaillu's fairy tales about the terrible gorilla, and wrote miscellaneous attacks upon 
 Cathohcism and most other religious beliefs. This nondescript novel — if it can be called 
 a novel — ^is au undisguised plea for atheism. [Eighteenth edition, edited by Legge, 5s., 
 Kegan Paul, 1910.] 
 
 The Outcast. 1875 
 
 An attack upon dogmatic religion and intolerance. A sceptic gives up for conscience' sake 
 a fat living, and with it all worldly advancement ; submits to the most harrowing trials, 
 and out of the depths of his wretchedness curses God ; but at length works out for him- 
 self a faith, though a purely abstract and agnostic faith, on which he bases an exalted 
 system of morality. [5s., Chatto : o.p.] 
 
 RiDDELL, Mrs. J. H. [Charlotte Eliza Lawson, nee Cowan ; 1832-1906]. George 
 Geith of Fen Court. 1865 
 
 A gloomy story of unmitigated trials and disasters : the hero, a study of perseverance in a 
 predetermined course of conduct verging on quixotry, a clergyman unfrocking himself 
 and toiling for money in the city in order to divorce an unworthy wife ; the heroine, an 
 amiable, impulsive woman, who declines to leave her husband when she finds his first 
 wife is yet alive. [2s., MacmiUan.] 
 
 The Race for Wealth. 1866 
 
 Analyses character and the conduct of life. The race for wealth is personified in Forbes and 
 Barbour, the one a kind, afiectionate, and upright man, who advances slowly to moderate 
 success, the other a strong and rapid man, who meets with disaster before the goal is won. 
 Their love affairs are dealt with — Forbes's long-repressed affection for his friend's wife, 
 a dangerous situation harmlessly treated, the other's lawless and calamitous surrender 
 to passion. The women also are very seriously anatomized, except the farcical Ada Perkins, 
 the butt for the author's ridicule. [2s., Wame.] 
 
 Far above Rubies. 1867 
 
 A quiet country story of a melancholy cast. The patient married life of a good woman en- 
 during sUghts and injuries from a fooUsh and selfish husband, who after ruining himself 
 on the Stock Exchange commits suicide. Has a good deal to say about financial rights 
 and wrongs. [2s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 Robinson, Frederick WilUam [1830-1901]. Grandmother's Money. i860 
 
 Robinson was one of the most industrious producers of novels in the three-volume period, 
 since when he has been almost completely forgotten. His master was Dickens, but he 
 went beyond his master in faithful realism, e.g. Owen — a Waif and Jane Cameron. He 
 wrote 55 novels. This is a wholesome novel of character presenting average people with 
 their faults and weaknesses as well as their homely virtues. The grandmother with her 
 " unrelenting soul " and deep affections is a lovable being, and the hero, if not of the stuff 
 of which heroes are usually made, is human, and his wife loves him. The plot with the 
 misdoings of the false lover is rather involved. [2s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett : o.p.]. 
 
 Owen — a Waif. 1862 
 
 87 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Robinson, Frederick William [continued).- — Jane Cameron : Memoirs of a Female 
 Convict. 1863 
 
 In these two novels, the first picturing low life in London and the other low life in Glasgow, 
 Robinson's photographic realism, says Mr. Watts-Dunton, reminds one of Defoe. Robin- 
 son anticipated the poor-life story of recent times, and has had few superiors in humorous 
 and sympathetic delineation of the London arab. [(i) 5s., Hutchinson; (2) 2 vols., 21s., 
 Hurst & Blackett : o.p.] 
 
 Female Life in Prison ; by a Prison Matron. 1863 
 
 Began a series of novels dealing with prison life. This is based on the personal experiences 
 of an actual prison matron. " For perfect realism it was worthy of Defoe " (Watts- 
 Dunton). It was accepted by The Times, etc., as an authentic record. [2s. 6d., Low: 
 o.p.] 
 
 Mattie — a Stray. 1864 
 
 Mattie is a very humble heroine who has to work hard for her living, first as street hawker, 
 
 then as grocer's book-keeper : but while she is outwardly far removed from the con- 
 ventional heroines of fiction, her sterling honesty and upright character make her a 
 more admirable type of human nature. The subordinate characters are petty shopkeepers, 
 clerks, and mechanics, the various inhabitants, in short, of a mean quarter in London. 
 [2s., Ward & Lock : o.p.] . 
 
 Christie's Faith. 1867 
 
 A very popular love-tale. The faith is Christie's faith in her lover. [2s., Chapman : o.p.] 
 
 The Courting of Mary Smith. 1886 
 
 The story of a high-minded girl, who inspires a prosaic and illiterate cotton millionaire with 
 
 a pure, self-abnegating love that seems at first sight incompatible with his character. 
 [3s. 6d , Maxwell : o.p.] 
 
 Shand, Alexander Innes [1832-1907]. Against Time. 1870 
 
 A novel of finance and city gambling, hingeing on the flotation of a big company, its bubble 
 prosperity and collapse. A thoroughly masculine novel, full of special knowledge ingeni- 
 ously utilized for romantic purposes. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Smith & Elder : o.p.] 
 
 Shooting the Rapids. 1872 
 
 Financial adventure on the large scale. An English gentleman with estates in Germany and 
 England, neither of which yield him anything but the reputation for colossal wealth, 
 gambles on the Stock Exchange and at horse-racing, is ruined and meets his death just 
 when his property becomes valuable. Written in a highly coloured, almost violent style, 
 with admirable descriptions of scenery all over Europe. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Smith & Elder : 
 o.p.] 
 
 Smart, Hawley [1833-93]. Breezie Langton. 1869 
 
 The first of a series of sporting novels somewhat resembUng Whyte-Melville's. Desultory in 
 plan, consisting of hunting and racing sketches, smaU talk and flirtation, bets and cards, 
 among a fast section of Society ; episodes that are often of a shady kind, but not im- 
 moral ; broadly farcical scenes and sketches of character, and, in this case, chatty descrip- 
 tions of the Crimean War. [2s., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 — False Cards. 1872 
 
 Very similar to Breezie Langton ; comic episodes of Bohemian life, love affairs and misad- 
 ventures of an innocent but incautious heroine, and scenes of country-house life : an 
 effervescent mixture of grave and gay. [2s., Ward & Lock : o.p.] 
 
 Bound to Win. 1877 
 
 The horses are drawn with as much individuality as the men, and the interest Ues almost 
 exclusively in race meetings and stable politics, while the plot depends on the hope of 
 retrieving a squire's fortunes by a Derby victory. [2s., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 Smedley, Francis Edward [1818-64]. Frank Fairleigh. 1850 
 
 An old-fashioned kind of novel containing scenes of university life at Cambridge of a rather 
 trite, facetious character, much in the rollicking style of Theodore Hook. 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Smedley, Francis Edward (continued). — Lewis Arundel; or, The Railroad of Life. 
 
 1852 
 Aims a little higher. A novel of upper-class society, with a moral. Lewis is a fine fellow, 
 whose besetting sins, pride and passion, he overcomes through suffering and by the help 
 of his friend, the bookworm Frere, a scomer of social conventions. The joker Bracy and 
 the ass De Grandeville supply the comedy ; the tragedy hinges on the villainy of Lord 
 Bellefield, a worldling and a gambler, the hero's evil genius. 
 
 Harry Coverdale's Courtship, and What Came of It. 1855 
 
 A similar effusion to Frank Fairleigh, animated by high spirits and fun and by a wholesome 
 enjoyment of the good things of Mfe. Harry is a sporting squire, comfortably off, a lover 
 of horses and a terror to poachers. He cuts out a wealthy rival, but is too fond of himself 
 to value his wife aright until taught by the troubles and jealousies of wedlock. [Ea. 2s., 
 Routledge; $1, Button, New York.] 
 
 Smith, William Henry [1808-72]. Thomdale; or, The Conflict of Opinions. 1857 
 
 A series of philosophical m.editations and discussions, thrown into a personal form as the 
 autobiography of a man, tracing the growth of his mind under the influence of self-analysis 
 and conversation with his friends. The autobiography is not without affecting passages, 
 and there are impressions of nature at home and abroad ; but the main interest is philo- 
 sophical ; questions of good and evil, immortality, realism and idealism, even such topics 
 as the power of money, are dealt with in a desultory but earnest fashion. [los. 6d., Black- 
 wood : o.p.] 
 
 Stretton, Julia Cecilia [nee Collinson ; 1812-78]. The Valley of a Hundred Fires. 
 
 i860 
 
 Founded entirely on reminiscences of the home of her childhood at Gateshead, though the 
 scene is ostensibly laid on the Welsh border. The household of a country clergyman with 
 a large family of girls, incidents merry or pathetic of their home Ufe, with affectionate 
 sketches of character, such as the heroine Emily, a portrait of her mother. [5s., 2s. 6d., 
 Hurst & Blackett: o.p.] 
 
 Tautphoeus, Baroness Jemima von [nee Montgomery ; 1807-93]. The Initials. 
 
 1850 
 
 A novel depicting everyday life in Bavaria, the personal interest centred in a young Enghsh- 
 
 man travelling for education and experience, and his love for a beautiful German girl, to 
 
 marry whom he sacrifices his prospects. The noveUst is at her best in drawing the natural 
 
 contrast between the two German sisters. [2s., Macmillan ; |i, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Cyrilla. 1853 
 
 A deeply tragic novel, accurately reproducing the details of the criminal trial of Assessor 
 Lahn. [6s., Bentley, 1872 : o.p.] 
 
 Quits. 1857 
 
 Long, with a straggling plot which marries the heroine at the end to the snob who slighted 
 
 her at the beginning. Family Ufe in London, followed by travel scenes in Bavaria and 
 Tyrol, with a village drama of love and jealousy. The authoress satirizes vulgarity, but her 
 own theory of life is not elevated. [2s., Macmillan ; $1, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 At Odds. 1863 
 
 Bavaria in Napoleon's time (i8oo-g), the family history interwoven with the disasters of S. 
 Germany, from Hohenlinden to Hofer's insurrection in Tyrol. Plot : how a young man 
 is obliged to marry a girl whom he has compromised by pure accident, while he loves her 
 sister. Their quarrels, especially their political differences, last a long time and coincide 
 with many signal historical events, from the father's death at Hohenlinden and the arrival 
 of a French detachment at the Countess's castle, right to the conclusion. [2s., Mac- 
 millan ; f I, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Taylok, Col. Philip Meadows [1808-76]. Confessions of a Thug. 1839 
 
 An Indian romance of adventure and local colour by an Indian officer who possessed an intimate 
 and extensive knowledge of native Ufe and character. The incidents are very sensa- 
 tional. 
 
 89 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Taylor, Col. Philip Meadows [continued). — Tippoo Sultaun. 1840 
 
 A story of the Mysore War (1788-9) in Sir Walter Scott's style ; a very full and elaborate 
 picture of the times. 
 
 Tara. 1863 
 
 Ralph Darnell. 1865 
 
 Seeta. 1873 
 
 A series of three powerful tales illustrating three epochs in the history of India. " The his- 
 torical events which form the foundation of each of these works are not only of the highest 
 importance and interest, but, occurring strangely at almost exact intervals of a hundred 
 yeaff, are not exceeded in dramatic power by any actions in the history of India. The 
 first tale, Tara, illustrates the remarkable epoch of 1657, when the Mahrattas cast ofi 
 their allegiance, rose to power under Sivajee and defeated the army of Beejapoor. The 
 Mahrattas, aftei" sixteen years of warfare, defeated Aurungzebe in 1707, and his death 
 and the distractions of the Mahommedan empire enabled them to extend their conquests, 
 till by 1757 they became the most powerful State confederacy in India." In that year a new 
 political power arose in the English, and CUve won the battle of Plassey. Tara deals 
 with the 1657 epoch ; the personages are all native, and the manners, costumes, and 
 turbulent conditions of the land are carefully reproduced. Ralph Darnell deals with 
 the events oi 1757 and the terrible Black Hole tragedy ; and in Seeia the literal fulfilment 
 of a prediction that the rule of the English Company should come to an end in a hundred 
 years is a motive in a narrative of the Mutiny (1857). " In each tale the great opposing 
 interests are personified by great men, the characteristics of the rival races are brought 
 out in examples which command admiration, and the romantic interest is secured by 
 female characters of entirely novel types." In the last, e.g., is portrayed a beautiful and 
 noble Hindu woman, by marrying whom an Englishman scandalizes the European ladies, 
 but who proves her worth by dying for him.' The violent aspects of the Mutiny are hardly 
 touched upon. 
 
 A Noble Queen. 1878 
 
 A romance illustrating one of the most important periods in the history of the Dekhan. " The 
 character of the noble Queen, Chand Beebee (contemporary with Elizabeth), is still 
 popular in the country, and her memory is reverenced not only as the preserver of Beeja- 
 poor, but for the heroic resistance she made to the Moghul armies in their first invasion 
 of the Dekhan and siege of Ahmednugger." [Ea. 6s., 3s. 6d., Kegan Paul, 1878-80.] 
 
 Thackeray, Anne Isabella [Lady Ritchie, b. 1838]. The Story of Elizabeth. 1863 
 
 Thackeray's daughter excels in delicate and thoughtful portraiture of character, sober in 
 tint, restrained in feeling. The main situation is that of a man in love with the daughter 
 of the woman who for twenty years has loved him. His is an unheroic, overprudent 
 nature, cursed with indecision. " Ely " is a childlike, wayward girl of varying moods, 
 whose character is sobered and deepened by a near vision of death. One or two worldly- 
 wise people are mouthpieces for caustic comments on hfe and conduct. 
 
 -— The Village on the Cliff. 1867 
 
 Expresses feelingly the sadness of sensitive natures condemned by fate to a cheerless and 
 purposeless existence. A poor little governess loves a man who cares nothing for her, and 
 marries from mistaken motives one who is not her true mate. Her girlish hopes and 
 fears, her awakening to consciousness of her error, and her womanly conquest of passion 
 are related with delicate sympathy. Impressionist sketches of natural surroundings in 
 Normandy give the keynote of feeling. 
 
 Old Kensington. 1873 
 
 A long novel, full of musings on life that arise out of the incidents like the thoughts of an 
 observer of actual events. Robert Henley is a scathing study of the genus prig ; the 
 heroine a gentle poetical nature, whose growth is traced from youth up. Descriptions 
 of scenery, the Thames, London, Cambridge, illustrating its emotional efiect on different 
 kinds of temperament. 
 
 90 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Thackeray, Anne Isabella (continued). — Bluebeard's Keys. 1874 
 
 Little novels or long stories of which the essence is character — new illustrations of old fables 
 and fairy tales. An English family in Rome and an Italian marquis who loves the 
 younger daughter passionately are the personages of the title story, which is a variation 
 of the Bluebeard theme. 
 
 Miss Angel. 1875 
 
 A novel of manners (period 1 780-1) ; AngeUca KaufEmann and Sir Joshua Reynolds. 
 
 Mrs. Dymond. 1886 
 
 A gentle, sweet-natured woman, whose hfe has little of the eventful, but appeals by its 
 quiet goodness and unselfishness : scene, France during the adverse months of the Franco- 
 German War, which is set before us as it affected the women and children. [Ea. 6s.. 
 Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Trench, William Stewart [1808-72]. leme : a Tale. 1871 
 
 A study of agrarian crime in Ireland (by the respected land agent to Lord Lansdowne 
 and other great owners) , in which the author uses much of the knowledge he had obtained 
 in researches for a history of the nation, which he refrained from publishing owing to the 
 feeling occasioned by the controversy over the Irish Land Bill. He endeavours, by a care- 
 ful consideration of the temperament of the people, to show the causes of the obstinate 
 resistance by the Irish to measures undertaken for their benefit, and the method of cure. 
 [2 vols., Longman : o.p.] 
 
 Trollope, Anthony [1815-82]. The Warden. 1855 
 
 The Warden, Mr. Harding, a gentle and innocent old cleric, living a quiet and contented life, 
 is suddenly assailed by the newspapers for receiving the profits of a rich sinecure, and, 
 half in fear of the odium thus created, half from conscientious scruples, resigns his in- 
 come and accepts penury. The cathedral city with its ecclesiastical dignitaries was 
 suggested by Salisbury. Trollope was an enormously prolific writer who turned out 
 stories of sound workmanship with industrious punctuality. His realism and patient 
 verisimilitude — aiming at no high imaginative creation — produced few characters of 
 the first order : Mr. Harding, Mrs. Proudie and the Archdeacon, Lady Glencora, the 
 Duke of Omnium and Dr. Thome, fall very little short of this, however ; they are con- 
 centrations of humanism and sober truth to life. He was incomparable in presenting 
 clerical society with its peculiar humours and foibles. [3s. 6d. n.. Bell ; is. 6d. (6oc.),

 Barchester Towers. 1857 
 
 Resumes the history of this episcopal society, the chief incidents being connected with the 
 
 appointment of a new bishop, the troubles and disappointments this involves, and the 
 intrigues and jealousies of the clergy. The characters comprise the henpecked bishop 
 and his amazonian lady, the immortal Mrs. Proudie ; Archdeacon Grantley, son of the 
 late bishop, who had hoped to succeed ; Mr. Harding ; the eccentric Stanhope famUy ; 
 and the precentor, canons, and other clergy of the cathedral, with their wives. ■[3s. 6d. n..

 Lane). Illustrated by F. C. Tilney, 5s., Svo, Routledge; ?i.50 n., Dutton, New York.] 
 
 The Three Clerks. 1857 
 
 Three men in the Civil Service fall in love with three girls, whose differences of character are 
 
 finely worked out. To the romantic interest is to be added that of deUcately ironical 
 portraiture, two at least of the clerks being sketched from well-known people. [3s. 6d., 
 Macmillan ; 2S. n.. Long; Pocket Edns. (World's Classics), is. n. (40c.), Frowde.] 
 
 Doctor Thome. 1858 
 
 Concerned mainly with the fortunes and misfortunes of Mary Thome, whose troubles com- 
 mence with her birth. Beatrice Gresham and Mary, two attractive girls ; divers pairs of 
 lovers, actual or potential, whose proceedings lead to some comic situations ; genial 
 Dr. Thome, a country practitioner of strong idiosyncrasies ; and the humorous figures of 
 the aristocratic De Courcys, make a numerous and various body of characters. [3s. 6d. n..

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Trollops, Anthony [continued). — Framley Parsonage. 1861 
 
 Another section of Barsetshire Society. The Vicar of Framley, a weak but honest young 
 man, is led astray and into debt by a spendthrift M.P., and finds himself in a false position. 
 The other branch of the story deals with his sister's chequered love affair and marriage 
 with young Lord Lufton. A great crowd of characters are engaged in the social functions, 
 the intrigues and the match-making, the general effect of which is conaic, though graver 
 interest is never far off, and there are situations of deepest pathos. [3s. 6d. n.. Bell ;

 Illustrated by Sir J. E. Millais, 5s., 8vo, Routledge ($1.50 n., Dutton. New York).] ' 
 
 Orley Farm. 1861- 
 
 A lengthy chronicle of family life (two country houses supply most of the chief personages), 
 events revolving round one figure. Lady Mason, a mixed character of guilt and innocence, 
 weakness and strength, who forges a codicil in favour of her son and keeps the secret for 
 twenty years. A chivalrous old baronet, his high-minded daughter-in-law, and a dry old 
 lawyer are all under the spell of Lady Mason's personality, and the drama of guilt and 
 shame has a pathetic bearing on many hves. The legal case is complex and difficult, and 
 the proceedings subserve the author's purpose of exposing the immorality of wrongful 
 advocacy. A pair of bagmen and other minor characters relieve the graver matters with 
 chapters of natural comedy, [is. 6d., Ward & Lock ; Pocket Edn. (New Pocket Lib.), 
 2 vols., 3s. n. (?i n.). Lane.] 
 
 — The Small House at Allington. 1864 
 Country life, its quiet, its pleasures and troubles, monotony and dullness, with digressions 
 
 into boarding-house life in London and into high society. Many old friends appear in 
 the usual concourse of characters, among whom stand out Mr. Crosbie, a snobbish and 
 cowardly trifler, whose virtues are of the plausible sort, but whose temptation and re- 
 pentance demand the reader's pity ; Lily Dale, the jilted maiden ; amiable and weak Johnny 
 Eames, and the aristocratic doll. Lady Dumbello ; all closely copied from life. [2 vols.,

 New York).] 
 
 — Can You Forgive Her ? 1864-5 
 
 A study of the half-realized motives and minor causes that determine conduct. She breaks 
 ofi an engagement because she is infected with modern ideas on the duties and import- 
 ance of women, and craves excitement. Plantagenet Palliser, who figures repeatedly in 
 the Phineas novels, is a character here, a strong, haughty, and frigid English gentleman, 
 a politician devoted to his country's service and a man of indestructible principle, yet 
 entirely lacking in personal charm — a very representative national type. [2s., Ward & 
 Lock: o.p. Pocket Edn. (New Pocket Lib.), 3s. n. ($1 n.). Lane.] 
 
 — Phineas Finn, the Irish Member. 1866 
 
 — Phineas Redux. 1874 
 In this pair of novels TroUope proposed to trace " the changes in men and women which 
 
 would naturally be produced by the lapse of years." These he exemplifies not only in the 
 hero, whose vanity brings him bitter disappointment, while his consistent honesty leads 
 on to ultimate success, but in Lady Laura's tragic repentance for a mercenary marriage 
 and the chequered lives of other characters. TroUope is as successful here in drawing 
 political magnates as he had been with his clerical dignitaries, though, of course, the interest 
 is not politics but personality. The sequel presents a great trial at the Old Bailey, one 
 in which Society is implicated. More characteristic are the domestic chapters, realistic 
 hunting scenes, and the ordinary intercourse of country life. A noble M.F.H. and his 
 very matter-of-fact courtship, his quarrels with his father, etc., furnish important interests. 
 Mr. TurnbuU is a satirical portrait of John Bright. [Phineas Finn ; 2 vols., 7s. n.. Bell;

 — The Last Chronicle of Barset. 1867 
 
 The ecclesiastical society of The Warden, Mr. Harding, Mrs. Proudie, and the rest, make their 
 last appearance. 'The dominant situation is one of intense anguish. A poor country 
 clergyman, proud, learned, sternly conscientious, is accused of a felony, and the pres- 
 sure of family want makes his guilt seem only too probable. His own agony, his vrife's

 terror, and the distress of his daughter, affianced to the son of a neighbouring land- 
 owner, are the elements of a profound tragedy. [2 vols., 7s. n., BeU. is. n. (Every-

 Trollope, Anthony (continued). — ^The Claverings. 1867 
 
 Harry Clavering has to choose between the girl to whom he is engaged and his old love, who 
 had jilted him, but now turns to him again, rich and a widow. In the minor characters, a 
 county family and their friends, the parson and his family, etc., is exhibited the typical 
 life of the landed gentry, their dinners, hunting, flirtations, and match-making, their 
 egotistic social intercourse, family squabbles, and thoroughly matter-of-fact and unin- 
 tellectual existence. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 He Knew He was Right. 1869 
 
 A tragedy composed of the homeliest materials. The gradual estrangement of husband and 
 wife, beginning with an insignificant difference and ending in strife and agony : the 
 husband a portentous image of stupid and obstinate suspicion and proneness to take 
 offence. [2s., Ward & Lock: o.p.] 
 
 The Vicar of Bullhampton. 1870 
 
 Photographic portraiture of thoroughly English characters : a genial and manly country 
 vicar, who champions the cause of a fallen girl and of a country fellow wrongly suspected 
 of murder, and suffers obloquy therefor ; an unfortunate squire in love with the heroine, 
 who loves somebody else ; a crusty old farmer, and so on. Episodes of homely life, 
 with its everyday interests, humours, and sorrows, form a complexity like the com- 
 plexity of actual life. [2s., Ward & Lock: o.p.] 
 
 The Eustace Diamonds. 1872 
 
 Trollope calls his Lady Eustace " an opulent and aristocratic Becky Sharp." Her unscrupu- 
 lous lying darkens the mystery of the diamonds and brings about many unexpected and 
 amusing turns in the story. There are several characters of a more agreeable type, and 
 in the background people already familiar in Phineas Finn, etc. [2s., Ward & Lock : o.p.] 
 
 The Way We Live Now. 1875 
 
 Portrays many phases of English life, high society, country life, the genteel and the humble, 
 journaUsts, commercial men and the world in general, with a keen eye for weak and 
 flagitious motive. An exposure of the marriage market and the brutal indelicacy of the 
 haggling between such people as the ruined family of patricians and the rascally million- 
 aire, who is prepared to subsidize them with his daughter and his thousands. Even the 
 honest young man is not altogether attractive. [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto.] 
 
 Trollope, Frances Eleanor {wife of the following]. Black Spirits and White. 1877 
 
 Racy character-drawing and spiritualism are the main ingredients, with love passages and 
 low comedy. A cosmopolitan set of people — a girl of lovely nature and a baronet the 
 two chief figures ; a vulgar parvenu ; some social parasites ; the great spiritualist. Dr. 
 Flegge ; a Levantine merchant and his unhappy daughter. [Beutley : o.p.] 
 
 Trollope, Thomas Adolphus [1810-92 ; brother of Anthony Trollope]. La 
 
 Beata : a Tuscan Romeo and Juliet. 1861 
 
 The sufferings of a poor flower-girl of Florence, who is forsaken by an artist. An idealized 
 
 figure, the exponent of the author's advanced views on marriage, maintaining her inborn 
 
 purity in spite of surrounding corruptions. Fierce Protestant bias, in the way the evil 
 
 actions of this or that man are ascribed to priestly influence. [2s., Ward & Lock: o.p.] 
 
 Marietta. 1862 
 
 The scene is Florence, and the book is crammed with details about the city and its surround- 
 ings and the everyday life of middle-class people there. The central personage. Marietta, 
 is impressive with her indomitable resolution and family pride. [2s., Ward & Lock, 
 o.p.; ?i.50, Petersen, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Beppo the Conscript. 1864 
 
 A faitlxful study of the agricultural, domestic, and religious life of the peasants of Romagna,

 family; shows up the secret power of the priests. [2S., Ward & Lock, o.p. ; $1.50, Peter- 
 sen, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Trollope, Thomas Adolphus (continued). — Dream Numbers. 1868 
 
 Sympathetic drawing of the Italians as they are in the old-fashioned villages and country 
 towns that lie away from well-known tracks. Quiet and happy domestic Ufe, simple 
 pleasures, harmless gossip, humble and ignorant country folk, are the chosen subject ; 
 and an episode of priestcraft, a tale of true love, and a destructive flood lend dramatic 
 interest to the picture. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Chapman, o.p. ; $1.50, Petersen, Philadelphia.] 
 
 The Siren. 1870 
 
 A murder novel ; scene, Ravenna and neighbourhood, with characteristic sketches of people 
 
 and manners. A beautiful opera-singer, engaged to a marchese and courted by his "heir, 
 is strangely and very ingeniously killed : who is the criminal ? [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Smith 
 & Elder : o.p.] 
 
 Diamond Cut Diamond. 1875 
 
 Also The Golden Book of Torcello, Vittoria Accoromboni, The Duchess Veronica, and other 
 
 stories of Tuscan life, by an Englishman who lived among the people for many years. 
 [2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Wiseman, Cardinal Nicholas Patrick Stephen [1802-65]. Fabiola ; or, The Church 
 
 in the Catacombs. 1855 
 
 A story of the persecution by Diocletian (303). The Archbishop of Milan said of it that " it 
 
 was the first good book that had had the success of a bad one " (Diet. Nat. Biog.). [3s. 6d.,

 Wood, Mrs. Henry [Ellen, nee Price ; 1814-87]. Danesbury House. i860 
 
 Written in the interests of the Total Abstinence Movement. A very good story, the pur- 
 pose adroitly achieved by " indirection." 
 
 East Lynne. 1861 
 
 The main situation is one of harrowing pathos, a divorced wife re-entering her husband's 
 
 house disguised as a governess, nursing her own child and dying there, tardily forgiven. 
 This is the climax of the plot, the basis of which is a murder, with the ultimate clearing- 
 up of the mystery and the full proceedings of trial, cross-examination, etc. This is the 
 best-known — perhaps the best — and the following are the next best of a large number 
 of novels chiefly of the domestic kind, with melodramatic plots and miscellaneous excite- 
 ment, but no pretensions to literary quality, except the valuable one of power to interest. 
 
 The Channings. 1862 
 
 Roland Yorke [sequel]. 1869 
 
 A pair of novels concerned with the fortunes and misfortunes of two genteel families, the 
 
 dutiful and pious characters of the one being set in contrast with the Hibernian irre- 
 sponsibility of the other family. The plot in the first hinges on the theft of a /20 note, 
 suspicion falling on the good Channings and causing endless troubles. All is cleared up 
 at last. The characters are largely young people, and the pranks of the cathedral choir- 
 boys furnish some amusement. These, and other features of life in a cathedral town, 
 were th^e fruit of long residence at Worcester. In the sequel we have the ups and downs 
 of a shiftless, good-natured fellow alongside of a murder plot of melodramatic type. 
 
 Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles'. 1862 
 
 More domestic history : a mother's quiet endurance of adversity, a little girl's death, a family 
 
 of virtuous children and a naughty boy as foil, with the tiny events of average Ufe and 
 episodes invented for the purpose of moralizing ; the good young men, for instance, are 
 rewarded with signal success in their various callings, despite initial poverty, the wicked 
 fall into disgrace and want. 
 
 The Shadow of Ashlydyat. 1863 
 
 Typical of a numerous class of Mrs. Wood's novels, in which the interest lies in the working 
 
 out of a plot containing romantic and supernatural elements and a good deal of family 
 history.-

NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Wood, Mrs. Henry [continued). St. Martin's Eve. 1866 
 
 A lady who inherits insanity marries a man with hereditary tendency to wasting disease. 
 A day of ill-omen is among the sensational effects. The lady in one scene leaves her step- 
 son to be burned to death. A characteristic blend of sensation and domesticity. 
 
 A Life's Secret. 1867 
 
 Concerned extensively with business matters, employers and employees, the critical incident 
 being a strike which entails a lock-out and extreme misery for the poor workpeople and 
 their families. 
 
 Johnny Ludlow [6 series]. 1874-g 
 
 A number of tolerably good short stories, supposed to be told by a sagacious and observant 
 schoolboy, each as a rule having a distinct plot, sensational or pathetic. They abound 
 in domestic details of lower middle-class life and in portraiture of commonplace character, 
 and usually have a moral aim. 
 
 Edina. 1876 
 
 Pomeroy Abbey. 1878 
 
 Court Netherleigh. 1881 
 
 And a great many others showing the same characteristics, abundant details of ordinary 
 domestic life, a sensational plot, a constant appeal to popular sentiment. [Each 2s. 6d., 
 2s., IS. n., Macmillan.] 
 
 Yates, Edmund [1831-94]. Broken to Harness : a Story of English Domestic 
 Life. 1864 
 
 This and the next are the sole survivors of many novels, stories, and novelettes by the founder 
 of The World. It is an ingenious plot-novel in the manner of Wilkie Collins, with character- 
 drawing (e.g. the money-lender Scadgers) and sentimentality derived from Dickens. 
 Kate MeUon's horse-training estabUshment is evidently sketched from Yates's place at 
 Willesden. [2s., Routledge: o.p.] 
 
 Black Sheep. 1867 
 
 A fair example of the sensational fiction concerned not so much with objective horrors as 
 with the motives and the mental combinations of persons intent on crime. A clever and 
 fascinating, conscienceless woman schemes to fasten the guilt of a murder on an innocent 
 friend. There is no secret, no mystery ; the reader's interest is absorbed in working out 
 an intellectual problem clearly indicated from the beginning. [Edited by E. A. Baker 
 (Half-forgotten Books), 2s., Routledge (?i. Button, New York), 1903]. 
 
 YoNGE, Charlotte Mary [1823-1901]. The Heir of Redclyffe. 1853 
 
 An exceedingly sentimental and idealized picture of virtuous character and virtuous domestic 
 life, manifestly inspired by Tractarian views, and intended for the moral improvement 
 of young people. Has been neatly described as a " sweet youthful tragedy of piety and 
 devotion." 
 
 The Little Duke. [juvenile] 1854 
 
 A children's story of Normandy and Richard the Fearless (943-88).

 The heroine, a maiden of Ulm, is carried off by a robber baron to his Suabian hold, and, as

 Interesting as the views and criticisms of a mid-century novelist on the young person of 
 to-day. Crowded with characters, including several familiar types of girlhood, very 
 similar to those that peopled her earlier novels. A maiden aunt in charge of four girls 
 is a prominent figure, troubled with the anxieties and perplexities of their religious and 
 social interests and later of their love affairs. 
 
 YoNGE, Charlotte Mary, and Christabel R. Coleridge [h. 1843]. Strolling Players : 
 a Harmony of Contrasts. 1893 
 
 The adventures and misadventures of a company of genteel amateurs, who, in consequence 
 of pecuniary difficulties, go on tour in earnest. The characters, chief among them a girl 
 who believes she is a born actress, and a clever young professional, are sketched with 
 a certain quiet humour. [Ea. 3s. 6d. (?i.25), Macmillan : and several also at is. n.]

 NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER— i8y6-igoo 
 
 Aide, Charles Hamilton [1826-1906]. The Marstons. 1868 
 
 Play of character and evolution of plot are about equally the foundation. The Marstons are the 
 family of a wealthy merchant who loses all lus money. The ups and downs of their hf e 
 in London lodgings, the daughter's loves and disillusionments, their fortunate or unfor- 
 tunate entanglements with other people, are eventually brought to a comfortable con- 
 clusion. [3 vols., 3IS. 6d., Chapman : o.p.] 
 
 In that State of Life. 1871 
 
 History of a rebel against the conventions. A young girl, wilful, but pure and honest, having 
 refused her guardian's candidate for her hand, disguises herself and goes into domestic 
 service. She meets with many adventures, serious and comic. But the novelette is 
 principally concerned with character, and comprises a little gallery of portraits. The 
 housekeeper and the mistress under whom she finds herself are strongly individual, and 
 the ungainly curate is a pathetic figure. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder : o.p.] 
 
 A Nine Days' Wonder. 1874 
 
 A pathetic situation — a widower would fain marry his old love, but her son loves his daughter, 
 and, such are past complications, one pair must needs resign their happiness. Sketches

 Before You Leap. 1865 
 
 An officer elopes with a supposed heiress and, finding her wealth non-existent, treats her 
 harshly, and she hides herself from him for a year. After some romantic incidents the 
 pair are satisfactorily united. [2s., is. n., Macmillan.] 
 
 The Wooing o't. 1873 
 
 A love novel, built on old-fashioned lines, strong in portraiture of two or three characters : 
 the vulgar Mrs. Berry, the debonair heroine, Maggie her niece, and some members of a 
 smart coterie in Paris. Love leaping over the barriers of rank and wealth is the motive, 
 Maggie loving and being loved by a brilliant man of the world, the last person whom she 
 ought to have married, according to the convenances and the situation of affairs at the 
 start. [28., Macmillan ; 75c., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 — Her Dearest Foe. 1876 
 
 The heroine receives a fortune from her deceased husband, but a new will is found bequeath- 
 ing all to an offensive kinsman. She maintains herself gallantly by going into business,

 the false name she has assumed, into contact with the successful kinsman ; they fall in 
 love and their marriage ends the imbrogho. [2s., is. n., Macmillan; $1 n., Holt, New

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 ' Alexander, Mrs." {continued). — ^The Freres. 1882 
 
 The struggles of a genteel family in a cheap London lodging-house bring out a variety of 
 good or bad, or merely shallow and selfish, characters in the different members of the 
 family and their English and Irish kin. Among them all the gracious, unselfish nature 
 of the heroine shines conspicuously. Their removal to Germany imports other characters, 
 among these, the old Austrian, Count Costello, and the various dignitaries of a small 
 country town. [2s., Macmillan.] 
 
 The Admiral's Ward. 1883 
 
 Concerned with the gain and the unforeseen loss of an inheritance. A quiet tale of every- 
 day life, heightened into something finer by the treatment of character and affection 
 in the patient heroine, the engaging oddities Mrs. Crewe and the Admiral, etc. [2s., 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 — - Mona's Choice. 1887 
 
 Mona loves an attractive but selfish man, but is loved by and rejects his friend. Years and 
 changes in her worldly position test the characters of the two ; and in the sequel she 
 rejects the man she had loved and gives herself to the loyal friend. [2s. 6d., White : 
 o.p.] ,^ 
 
 A Choice of Evils. \ 1894 
 
 Problem : the marriage of a pair, between whom there is little love, being upset by the reap- 
 pearance of a wife believed to be dead ; what shall be done ? The solution offered is 
 that, after the parties are liberated by divorce, the second wife, disenchanted, declines to 
 remarry the man. [2s., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 " Allen, Grant " [Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen ; 1848-99]. Philistia. 1884 
 
 A farcical picture of Socialism. The important characters are all Socialists either actively 
 or passively, and the hero endures afSicting trials for his convictions before he obtains 
 a competence as editor of a Socialist journal. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 The Devil's Die. 1888 
 
 The gruesome doings of a young doctor, whose scientific zeal leads him to experiment on a 
 patient with fatal results : a farrago of extraordinary events, plots and counterplots, 
 and narrow escapes. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto ; 25c., Hurst, New York.] 
 
 — The Tents of Shem. 1889 
 
 Meriem, daughter of an exiled Englishman and a Kabyle woman, is brought up in Grande 
 Kabylie. Her European blood rises superior to her African instincts at the advent of 
 love. A plot-novel, with the usual excitements freshened up by the bizarre motive and 
 the African milieu. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto ; 20c., Munro, New York ; 25c., Rand McNally, 
 Chicago.] 
 
 — Ivan Greet's Masterpiece ; etc. 1893 
 
 Ivan Greet seeks among the negroes of Jamaica the leisure and tranquillity denied him by a 
 London Ufe, composes his masterpiece and dies. A faithful mulatto girl devotes her life 
 to his baby and to the task of getting the manuscript printed, but this is accidentally 
 burned, and in a scene of acute pathos she and the little one die exposed to a tropical 
 tempest. A good index to the quality of the fifteen tales and sketches that foUow. [3s. 6d., 
 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Woman Who Did. 1895 
 
 She refuses to marry her lover, and enters into a free union with him, but dies a martj^r to 
 the author's gospel of free love. A bold and aggressive manifesto, quite inoffensive as a 
 story. [3s. 6d., De La More Press ; $1, Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 The British Barbarians : a Hill-Top Novel. 1895 
 
 A tourist from the twenty-fifth century visits England to study our customs and observances 
 from the abstract point of view of the anthropologist ; a novel kind of satire. Mr. H. D. 
 Traill wrote a parody : The Barbarous Britishers : a Tip-Top Novel. [3s. 6d. n., Lane ;

NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 " Allen, Grant " {continued). — A Splendid Sin. 1896 
 
 A womaHj averts a tragic ending to her son's love affair by avowing that he is not the off- 
 spring of her reprobate husband, but of a great poet who had loved her too well. A satire 
 on conventional moraUty. [3s. 6d., White, o.p. ; $1, Buckles, New York.] 
 
 Miss Cayley's Adventures. 1899 
 
 A comic narrative, with the characteristic dash of paradox and light satire ; the heroine 
 an audacious Girton girl, who starts with a capital of twopence and achieves a striking 
 career. [6s.. Grant Richards, o.p.; $1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 Twelve Tales, with a Headpiece, a Tailpiece, and an Intermezzo ; being Select 
 
 Stories. 1899 
 
 A Confidential Communication is the sardonic history of a murder by mistake : The Rev. John 
 Creedy, a tragic study of the racial question in a negro missionary who reverts ; The 
 Child of the Phalanstery, public infanticide in advanced society centuries hence ; The 
 Curate of Churnside, how an aesthetic, soft-hearted young curate puts his uncle out 
 of the way to secure an income for his betrothed and himself — a grim jeu d' esprit; 
 and in John Cann's Treasure a man sacrifices honesty, position, and in the sequel his 
 reason, for a treasure that turns out worthless. Fair specimens, not only of the tales in 
 this volume, but of Grant Allen's fiction generally, which is nothing if not novel and start-

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Banks [(Mrs. G. Linnaeus), nee Isabella Varley ; 1821-99]. God's Providence 
 House. 1865 
 
 A tale of 1 791 and the emancipation of the slaves. Mrs. Banks lays the scenes of her novels 
 chiefly in the neighbourhood of Chester and Manchester, the history of which she has 
 studied with industrious research. There is a strong reUgious and moral bias in her 
 domestic stories. [6s., 3s. 6d., Paul.] 
 
 The Manchester Man. 1876 
 
 Based upon history" recorded and unrecorded " (1799-1831), and deals with " absolute people, 
 
 events, and places" — ^the materials culled from various periods. The dress, the manners 
 and speech, the details of business and manufacturing life, are studied and set down with 
 the care of an archaaologist. Contains an elaborate picture of bygone Manchester, and 
 the Peterloo Riots of 1819, with striking anecdotes and characters (e.g. the Rev. Joshua 
 Brooks). [2s. 6d., Abel Heywood, Manes., 1895. Illustrated by Green & Fitton, 15s. n., 
 id., 1896.] 
 
 Forbidden to Wed. 1883 
 
 The characters are chiefly Manchester tradespeople (c. 1778-1804), and doubtless real 
 personages. The economic and social conditions of the town, the streets and buildings 
 as they existed, and the domestic Ufe are carefully portrayed. The love story of a trades- 
 man's daughter and an officer's son forms the plot ; circumstances and prejudices forbid 
 them to wed. Chester and Buxton are the scenes partly. [2s. 6d., Abel Heywood, Manes.] 
 
 ■ Bond Slaves : the Story of a Struggle. i8g3 
 
 A story of the Luddite agitation in the northern and midland counties, chiefly Yorkshire 
 (1811-13), worked out with her usual elaborate care for written and oral evidence. 
 [3s. 6d., Griffith & Farran.] 
 
 Besant, Sir Walter [1838-1901]. The Revolt of Man. 1882 
 
 A satirical extravaganza, picturing a future when women are in supreme command in State, 
 army and navy, and private life. But man rebels, overthrows the feminine rigime and 
 the rehgion of the ideal woman, and — women are glad of it. [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto.] 
 
 All Sorts and Conditions of Men. 1882 
 
 An Utopian fancy, the Palace of Dehght in Whitechapel has since, in some measure, been 
 realized. But Besant lays most stress on human nature, and tells his readers to distrust 
 politics and learn to help themselves. [3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., 2s., Chatto; ?i.25, 50c., Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 All in a Garden Fair. 1883 
 
 An entertaining mixture of satire and romance ; scene, a suburban village, the abode of a 
 circle of once great City men who have failed for an aggregate of milUons. Leading 
 characters — a literary man whose dreamy youth, struggles after his ideal, and well- 
 merited success are traced, and an upright, energetic man of afiairs who wins the heroine. 
 [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto; $1.25, 50c., Harper, New York.] 
 
 Dorothy Forster. 1884 
 
 The domestic history of the Forsters of Bamborough Castle during the unquiet years of 
 Jacobite intrigue which culminated in the fatal rising of 1715, of which the autobio- 
 grapher's brother was the General. Dorothy tells her own story in a garrulous fashion, 
 giving intimate views of life among the gentry of Northumberland, portraying the char- 
 acters of the chivalrous Earl of Derwentwater, whom she loved and refused on the score 
 of religion, of her self-indulgent brother, and several fictitious characters, such as the 
 humorous and pathetic Mr. Hilyard. The tragic narrative of the rebellion leads the 
 reader at length to London, into Georgian Society, and into Newgate and the Tower.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Besant, Sir Walter {continued). — The Lady of Lynn. 1901 
 
 A bustling story of eighteenth-century Lynn, though the pictures of fashionable life are but 
 superficial. A beautiful heroine her bluff sailor lover, and a wicked peer who conspires

 Old Mortiboy is a miser and the offspring of misers, who builds up a huge fortune by grinding 
 the poor and ruining the well-to-do. His son, an unscrupulous but well-meaning young

 — — • This Son of Vulcan. 1876 
 
 Early troubles and final prosperity of a poor lad who is the foster-child of a drunken pedlar, 
 and suffers calamities of many sorts before he comes to his own little inheritance. The

 the reverse, and plenty of sensation. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 ^ The Golden Butterfly. 1876 
 
 How an American oil-king dispenses his millions on an abortive humanitarian enterprise. 
 This magnanimous, egotistical fellow, invincibly amiable in spite of discomfiture, is of 
 course the centre of interest. The minor characters are the butt of keen satire, deriding 
 dilettantism and the hke ; but incidents and characters border on extravaganza. [3s. 6d , 
 2s., Chatto ; 50c., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 — The Monks of Thelema. 1878 
 
 A fanciful tale suggested by Rabelais' (see Rabelais) famous episode of a community of clever

 Black, Wilham [1841-98]. A Daughter of Heth. 1871 
 
 His first and best novel, though A Princess of Thule is the most popular. Black was a romancer 
 who got his picturesque and his atmosphere, not from the past, but from strange and 
 beautiful scenery. He excels in verbal landscape-painting. This novel takes us to a 
 Scottish village and on a trip along the Highland coast. The inhabitants are sketched 
 in a lively fashion, bringing out their peculiarities of feeling, prejudice, and speech. The 
 main characters are a mischievous and dare-devil but manly boy, son of a Presbyteriaji 
 minister ; and his cousin, a half-French girl, whose sunny and refined disposition clashes 
 with the rigid Puritanism of the northern village. Her love and marriage give her op- 
 portunity to prove her capacity for self-sacrifice. [6s., 2S. 6d., 2s., Low ; 80c., Harper, 
 New York.]

 A weak, pleasure-loving artist woos and wins a beautiful Highland girl, and brings her into 
 the hothouse atmosphere of Loudon, where she pines for the air and freedom of her 
 Hebridean home. Ultimately her true and unaffected nature works on his character and 
 makes a man of him. The wonderful colours and changes of sea and sky and mountain 
 in the Hebrides inspire many a descriptive page, and the rich park-lands of southern 
 England, so different in their beauty, are feelingly depicted. [6s., 2s. 6d., 2s., Low; 80c., 
 Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Maid of Killeena ; and other Stories. 1874 
 
 The maid is a peasant sister to the " Princess," and heroine of a pretty idyll of the Hebrides,

 — — • Madcap Violet. 1877 
 
 A wilful, impulsive girl, affectionate and lovable in spite of many faults, drawn at full length.

 hood and love; the sad ending is the inevitable outcome of her character. [6s., 3s. 6d., 
 2S., Low ; 80c., Harper, New York.] 
 
 — — ■ Macleod of Dare. 1879 
 
 A tragic story, bringing shallow and garish fashionable life into contact with the noble sim- 
 plicity of Highland society. The catastrophe results from the marriage of a brave and 
 chivalrous young chief with a London lady. [6s., 2s. 6d., 2s., Low; 8oc., Harper, New 
 York.]

 — Shandon Bells. 1883 
 
 A story of County Cork, containing one of Black's fascinating heroines, whose love-letters 
 
 are very fanciful and sentimental, and a clever and sentimental hero, whose entry into

 York.]

 — In Far Lochaber. 1888 
 
 Elaborates the contrast between the rough and genuine Highland gentry, with their humane 
 and liberal religious feelings, and the straitness of intolerance of the " unco guid " in the 
 Lowland manufacturing town. Rich in description of the wild mountainous region round 
 Ben Nevis. [6s., 2S. 6d., 2s., Low ; 80c., Harper, New York.]

 Another sentimental romance, enacted this time on Deeside — the course of true love inter- 
 rupted, but happy at the end. The heroine is a Greek girl come to Scotland, a lover of 
 Highland ballads and of Nature. [6s., 2S. 6d., 2S., Low; $1.75, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Wild Eelin : Her Escapades, Adventures, and Bitter Sorrows. 1898 
 
 The tragical love tale of a beautiful Highland girl, own sister to the Princess of Thule. Black's 
 favourite motive, the noble simplicity of Highland life in contact with modern decadence, 
 reappears again, and there is a poetic rendering of the clan spirit as it survives at the 
 present day. Scene, Inverness. [6s., 2S. 6d., 2s., Low ; $1.75, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Blackmore, Richard Doddridge [1825-1900]. Clara Vaughan. 1864 
 
 Like the majority of Blackmore's novels, an attempt to naturalize romance amid the com- 
 plexities and the modernities of the present age. A melodramatic tale, in which a petulant 
 and obstinate heroine's adventures, before she comes into her rightful heritage, are mixed 
 up with the history of a Corsican vendetta. Word-landscapes of Devon, Gloucestershire, 
 and Corsica ; sketches of eccentric character, such as the Devonshire prodigy, Huxtable, 
 and his wrestling feats, and the farcical Balak and Balam and other cockneys, abound. 
 [6s., 2s. 6d., Low; %i n., Burt, New York.] 
 
 Cradock Nowell : a Tale of the New Forest. 1866 
 
 Enshrines several rustic types and eccentrics, such as Parson Rosedew and Dr. Hutton ; the 
 story involved and abounding in sensation ; the style charming for those who prize 
 Euphuism in a modern dress. [6s., 2s., Low ; $1 n., Burt, New York.] ., 
 
 — Lorna Doone. 1869 
 
 A romance of Exmoor in Stuart times (c. 1673-87). John Ridd, one of Blackmore's stalwart 
 yeomen, rescues the captive Lorna from the robber Doones. Relates their history from 
 childhood to marriage, with episodes and pictures of life in the world outside as well as 
 in the pristine homesteads of Exmoor.. Humorous Tom Faggus, the terrible brigand. 
 Carver Doone, and Judge Jeffreys are among the characters — all drawn with a peculiar 
 kindliness and gusto. The scenic descriptions of the lovely region about Lynmouth and 
 the Badgeworthy Water are invested with a poetic glamour that befits the tale. Many 
 local worthies have their lineaments preserved among the persones. Though Lorna Doone 
 made little stir at the time of its appearance, it has had innumerable imitations since, 
 and it initiated a return to the romanticism in historical fiction that Thackeray excluded 
 in Esmond, The Virginians, Barry Lyndon, and Denis Duval. [6s., 2s. 6d. (|i), Harper; 
 (Exmoor Edn.), 3 vols., i8s.. Low ; $3.75, Putnam, New York. Illustrated : 21s., 4to, cheap 
 edn., 7s. 6d., Low ($2, Scribner, New York) ; ($2.50, $2, Harper, New York). Ed. W. 
 P. Trent and W. T. Brewster (Standard English Classics), 65c., Ginn, Boston, 1906 ] 
 
 — The Maid of Sker. 1872 
 
 The romance of a foundling, the missing daughter of a Devon family, told by a garrulous old 
 fisherman who overflows with mother-wit. Opens with sketches of life in Glamorganshire 
 (1782-98) ; passes then to Devon, where, in a wild and lawless state of society, the dia- 
 bolical Parson Chowne is represented as the brutal despot of his parish. Thrilling 
 episodes, such as a hurricane and a wreck, poetical descriptions, and many racy charac- 
 ters. [6s., 2S. 6d., Low; $1 n., Burt, New York.] 
 
 — Alice Lorraine : a Tale of the South Downs. 1875 
 
 A romance of the period of the Napoleonic wars (1811-14) ; full of startling incident and ad- 
 venture, the ancient house of Lorraine being involved in disasters that have to be dras- 
 tically remedied in the last chapter; the heroine a modern Antigone. [6s., 2s. 6d., Low; 
 ?i n., Burt, New York.] 
 
 — Cripps the Carrier : a Woodland Tale. 1876 
 
 .Luke Sharp, the lawyer, plots to abduct an heiress, and actually proves her dead and buried ; 
 but his nefarious plans are overset, chiefly by the agency of Mr. Cripps, an original whose 
 raciness and humour are most characteristic of Blackmore's country-folk. Rural Ox- 
 fordshire is the scene, and most of the persons introduced are homely and rude. [6s., 
 2s. 6d., Low ; Ji n., Burt, New York.] 
 
 104 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 Blackmore, Richard Doddridge (continued). — Erema. 1877 
 
 Though the chief chaxacters are EngUsh and Scottish, the scene is laid in California, New 
 York, and Washington. Plot-interest is dominant and involves tragedy, but the humour 
 of the characterization and the beauty of the surroundings lighten the gloom. [6s., 2s. 6d., 
 Low (50c., Street, New York).] 
 
 Mary Anerley. 1880 
 
 story of an old Yorkshire family : smuggling adventures, service in the navy, and pictures 
 of Ufe on the coast about Flamborough (1777-1805). Brings out well the racy and jovial 
 disposition of the Yorkshire people, and depicts several original characters, like the York 
 agent, Mordacks, the family lawyer, and the hero himself, who is heir to an estate but 
 elects to live humbly. [6s., 2S. 6d., Low {?i. Harper, New York ; $1 n., Burt, New York). 
 
 — Christowell. 1882 
 
 A beautiful village on the eastern edge of Dartmoor is the scene, and the tale covers a large 
 extent of that lovely region. Placid village life, happy and affectionate family life and 
 homely characters, with some episodes of terror as a contrast, make up the story. [6s., 
 2s. 6d., Low (20c., Harper, New York). 
 
 — Springhaven. 1887 
 
 Nelson and Napoleon and the contemplated invasion of England are prominent, while a set 
 of homelier interests and obscurer figures are, artistically, more important. Sketches some 
 fine types of heroism, of human kindness, gossips and humorists, not the least attractive 
 being Admiral DarUng. [6s., 2s. 6d., Low ($1.50, Harper, New York ; $1 n., Burt, New 
 York). 'Illustrated by Alfred Parsons and F. Barnard, 12s., 7s. 6d., Low.] 
 
 — Kit and Kitty. 1890 
 
 The hero is a poor market-gardener, and the life depicted is of the lowliest, but both hero 
 and heroine are lifted high by the sweetness of their characters. A simple tale, with a 
 dash of romance. [6s., 2s. 6d., Low {$1.25, Harper, New York ; $1 n.,'Burt, New York).] 
 
 — Perlycross : a Tale of the Western Hills. 1894 
 
 A leisurely romance with a mystery which turns out to be a hoax. Scenes of rural hfe in 
 eastern Devon just before the 1832 Reform Bill, portraits of village worthies and much 
 descriptive work. Scoffs at modern cant about education. [6s., 2s. 6d., Low ($1.75, 
 Harper, New York).] 
 
 — Tales from the Telhng House. 1896 
 
 Four tales of past and present. Slain by the Doones is a little study on the theme of Lorna 
 Doone ; Crocker's Hole, a story of the catching of a mighty trout, is quite an epitome 
 of Blackmore's humorous story-telling and loving description of nature, and also of his 
 richly laden, meandering prose. [5s., 2s. 6d., Low.] 
 
 BooTHBY, Guy Newell [1867-1905]. Doctor Nikola. 1896 
 
 Farewell, Nikola. 1901 
 
 These and the following are average specimens of this prolific, crude, and popular author's 
 work. He aims at sensation pure and simple, and gathers his materials from every source ; 
 gigantic adventurers, gory monsters, and supernatural beings are as common as ordinary 
 men of the world and fascinating heroines. Mystery and horror, colossal wealth, blood- 
 thirsty vendettas, are the favourite machinery. [Each 5s., Ward & Lock . (i) $1, Apple- 
 ton, New York; (2) $1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 The Red Rat's Daughter. 1899 
 
 A young English millionaire courts a Russian artist, and learns when they are betrothed that 
 her father is a political prisoner, whom he feels compelled to rescue. [5s., Ward & Lock 
 ($1.25, New Amsterdam Book Co., New York).] 
 
 — The Woman of Death. 1900 
 
 A long story on a blood-curdling theme that Poe might have invented, an elaborate apparatus 
 for mutual slaughter. Pure sensation from beginning to end. [5s., Pearson.]

 American republic ; but, falling in love with the president's daughter, he goes over to the 
 other side, and, after a little adventure and the collapse of his old party, marries her. 
 [5s., Ward & Lock ($1, Appleton, New York).] 
 
 Brad DON, Mary Elizabeth [Mrs. John Maxwell ; h. 1837]. Lady Audley's Secret. 
 
 1862 
 
 A fair representative of her numerous novels, which aim, not to represent hfe, but to construct 
 a series of incidents that shall keep the reader's curiosity incessantly on the stretch. The 
 fictitious death and burial of a woman and the mysterious disappearance of a man are 
 the mainspring of this. [2S. 6d., Simpkin.] 
 
 Aurora Floyd. 1863 
 
 A fascinating and wealthy girl, having married a worthy man, is flung into a dilemma by the 
 reappearance of a low fellow whom she had eloped with and married in her teens. He is

 A mystery-plot, the solution of which breaks upon the reader's mind by slow degrees ; the 
 motive, a man's impersonation of a murdered millionaire. [2s. 6d., Simpkin.] 
 
 Joshua Haggard's Daughter. 1876 
 
 Contains more character than usual. The starting-point is a stern minister's marriage to a 
 pretty child-like waif whom he has rescued from a vagabond life. [2s. 6d., Simpkin.] 
 
 Weavers and Weft ; and other Stories. 1877 
 
 Characteristic novelettes of incident. The title-story deals with a mercenary marriage, 
 sensualism, and jealousy. Christmas in Possession and Sir Luke's Return are farces. 
 [2s. 6d., Simpkin.] 
 
 An Open Verdict. 1878 
 
 A rich heiress is believed by her neighbours, including her lover, to have caused her father's 
 death, though the crime could not be brought home. Her complete innocence is estab- 
 Ushed in the last chapters and poetic justice dispensed to friends and enemies. [2s. 6d., 
 Simpkin.] 
 
 Vixen. 1879 
 
 The vixenish young lady is heroine of the happy love-story. [2s. 6d., Simpkin.] 
 
 Asphodel. 1881 
 
 Two sisters, who love each other tenderly, love the same young man. Travel-sketches of 
 Switzerland are worked into the story. [2s. 6d., Simpkin.] 
 
 o

 The plot concerns the hiding of a " Warren Hastings " in his imbecile old age. The Words- 
 worth country is the scene. [2s. 6d., Simpkin.] 
 
 - — Ishmael. 1884 
 
 Deals with Paris under the rule of the third Napoleon, from the coup d'Uat of 1851, which 
 is vividly described, down to 1868. Many historical personages are introduced, and the 
 picture of the imperial rigime is drawn impartially. [2s. 6d., Simpkin.]

 Mazarin. [3s. 6d., Hutchin.son.] 
 
 The Infidel : a Story of the Great Revival. 1900 
 
 A heroine of obscure birth, a Voltairean by education, marries a peer on his death-bed, and 
 keeps true to his memory in spite of affection for a young kinsman. She is strongly in- 
 fluenced by the preaching of Whitefield and Wesley, and devotes her latter life to good 
 works. The general picture of the Methodist Revival is drawn with sympathy and care. 
 [6s., Simpkin.] 
 
 Buchanan, Robert Williams [1841-1901]. The Shadow of the Sword. 1875 
 
 An epical, Hugoesque novel of the Napoleonic wars. A Breton fisherman refuses to serve 
 under Napoleon, believing war to be forbidden by Christianity ; and is persecuted, out- 
 lawed, and driven insane. During the Hundred Days he tries to assassinate Napoleon. 
 An earnest polemic against war and national ambition. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 God and the Man. 1881 
 
 Rather grandiose romance inspired by an ethical idea, the vanity and folly of individual hate. 
 A man bitterly wronged pursues the villain relentlessly until both are face to face with 
 death at the extremity of the habitable world. Then, as it were in the presence of God, 
 he pardons and rescues his foe. The loftiness of the argument, which precludes character- 
 drawing, and the sublimity of the ultimate scene amid the polar ice, again recall Victor 
 Hugo. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Martyrdom of MadeUne. 1882 
 
 Madeline, an innocent girl, is betrayed by a French music-master and trapped into a marriage 
 which the villain denies when he finds she has no money. Her varied career as an actress, 
 etc., her marriage vrith a worthy man, the reappearance and persecution of the Frenchman, 
 and his well-deserved death are the ensuing romance, in which the author professes to 
 expose " the social conspiracy against womankind." [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto.]

 Flying Dutchman. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — Foxglove Manor. 1884 
 
 AJ^ritualist clergyman, whose character is compounded of sensuousness and self-deception, 
 deserts a girl whom he has seduced, and intrigues with a married woman, all, as he pro- 
 fesses, without any ill motive. On being exposed he enters the Church of Rome. There 
 is a melodramatic scene in which a scientist throws his wife into a trance and pretends 
 she is dead. [3s. 6d., '2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Master of the Mine. 1885 
 
 The plot turns on the mysterious seduction of a girl, the guilt of which is eventually brought 
 home to the Master of the Mine by the hero, who by good fortune and resolute conduct 
 wins from the culprit his milUonaire sweetheart and supplants him as owner of the mine. 
 Cornish scenes and characters. [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Heir of Linne. 1887 
 
 A little melodrama of love, seduction, and retribution, involving the Laird of Linne (an estate 
 on the S.W. coast of Scotland), his rightful heir, son of a woman he betrayed, and the 
 supposed heir, an arrogant young scamp, on whom the tables are turned at the finish. 
 An unfrocked priest, strange mixture of scholar and gaberlunzie, of drunkard and seer, is 
 a prominent actor. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Moment After : a Tale of the Unseen. 1890

 Ef&e Hetherington. 1896 
 
 An uncouth and savage but truly heroic man, infatuated with a capricious and worthless 
 
 girl. Sets forth tragically his pure, unreasoning devotion. [5s., Unwin.] 
 
 Andromeda : an Idyll of the Great River. 1900 
 
 Canvey Island at the mouth of the Thames is the scene of this romantic drama. A rough 
 
 and brutal, but not wholly detestable sailor returns to claim his wife, whom he married 
 when she was almost a child, and who meanwhile has fallen in love with a more attractive 
 man. [3s. 6d., Chatto ($1.25, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Butler, Samuel [1835-1902]. Erewhon ; or. Over the Range. 1872 
 
 Erewhon Revisited Twenty Years Later, both by the Original Discoverer of 
 
 the Country and his Son [sequel]. 1901 
 
 A satire on most of the institutions, ideas, customs, and the very bases of modern civiliza- 
 tion, by a sturdy freethinker. Our modern GulUver stumbles upon a great nation, 
 hidden behind inaccessible mountains, which has reverted to an older stage of civilization 
 and improved it by establishing, in some cases, the exact contrary of our institutions (e.g. 
 they punish disease and deal with crime by medical treatment), and in other cases absurd 
 exaggerations (e.g. musical banks corresponding to our churches where treasure is laid up 
 for spiritual fruition, and colleges of unreason where hypothetics is taught instead of 
 practical wisdom, cf. compulsory Greek). Erewhon (Nowhere), published in 1872, had a 
 revival of interest later, when Butler wrote Erewhon Revisited (1901), in which the 
 traveller, who escaped in a balloon, finds that the Erewhonians have grafted on to 
 their reUgion a worship of the mysterious visitant who made such a miraculous ascension 
 twenty years ago, with curious perversions of his logia. [Each 2s. 6d. n., Fifield ($1.25 n., 
 Dutton, New York).] 
 
 The Way of All Flesh. 1903 
 
 Butler wrote two satires but only one novel, which is in more than one sense the novel of his 
 life. The tale is told by a family friend of the hero, who obviously corresponds in many 
 traits and circumstances to Butler himself. His immediate ancestry, his infancy, home 
 life, education, and the failure and disasters of young manhood are related; with caustic 
 criticism of the unsympathy and stupidity of , conventional parents, and, In general, of 
 sentimentalism, cant, priestcraft, and other social plagues. Butler was an independent 
 critic of Darwinism with strong views on heredity, which he regarded as equivalent to 
 race-memory. These views run through the book, which, though philosophical, is a work 
 of art, not merely a concrete exposition of a theorem. Plerity of humour in the character- 
 drawing: Butler is most serious when apparently most flippant. [6s., Fifield ($1.50 n., 
 Dutton, New York).] 
 
 Caird, Mona [nee Alison]. The Wing of Azrael. 1889 
 
 A domestic story of country gentlefolk. A sulky heroine marries a roue to help her bankrupt 
 father, and is driven by cruel persecutions to try to elope with an old lover. The husband, 
 a handsome and coldly inhuman villain, is chief agent in many melodramatic episodes 
 Depicts a society universally tainted with commercial marriages and parental cruelty. 
 [6s., Kegan Paul.] 
 
 — — The Daughters of Danaus. 1894 
 
 Animated with the same polemical feeling against marriages of convenience, representing 
 society as largely a marriage market, money difficulties of parents and similar circum-

 Carey, Rosa Nouchette [1840-1909]. Nellie's Memories. 1868 
 
 The experiences and troubles of a girl of sterling character, who takes the place of her dead 
 mother in a family of brdthers and sisters. The first of a long series of domestic tales, 
 which set forth a healthy and engaging ideal of womanhood, and a high standard of daily 
 conduct; sentimental and optimistic, without being weakly so. [3s. 6d., MacmillEin; 
 $1 n., Burt, New York.] Wee Wifie (1869) and Wooed and Married (1875) are close akin.

 of her lot. [3s. 6d., Religious Tract Society ($1.25, Lippincott, Philadelphia ; $1 n., Burt,

 Life's Trivial Round. 1900 
 
 Like the foregoing, a simple, unaffected account of the ordinary events of domestic hfe, a 
 quiet picture of little things, with nothing more exciting than the wedding festivities that

 Quiet domestic life in a cathedral town, the love affairs of a stepmother and a stepdaughter,

 in Wonderland. 1865 
 
 ■ Through the Looking-Glass ; and What Alice Found There. 1871 
 
 Invented a new kind of fairy tale,' several degrees more fantastic than Andersen's, drawing 
 on modern science and all sorts of modern ideas for materials, and finding its most char- 
 acteristic expression in droll irrelevance and the ludicrous distortion of familiar things. 
 Though written for children and inspired by the prattle and innocent charm of children, 
 the wit, the fanciful humour, and the subtlety of many of its under-meanings can be 
 fully appreciated only by educated people. Lewis Carroll, further, was a genuine poet, 
 and his songs and snatches of verse are \^ery beautiful, even when most absurd, in their 
 sensuousness and hauntiffg cadences. [Illustrated by J. Tenniel, ea. 6s. n. ($1), 2s. 6d. n.

 Sylvie and Bruno. 1889 
 
 Sylvie and Bruno Concluded [sequel]. 1893 
 
 In these later tales his comic imagination applies itself to the regular duties of the fabulist, 
 to enforce what he held right in conduct and religion. The ideas are more recondite ; 
 and, though the first object is entertainment, the didactic purpose is strongly pronounced. 
 [Each 7s. 6d. n. ($1.50), 3s. 6d. n., Macmillan]. 
 
 Chesney, Sir George Tomkyns, [1830-95]. A True Reformer. 1873 
 
 Opens with chapters of Anglo-Indian life at Simla under Lord Mayo (1869-72), and continues 
 the hero's autobiography in England, where he tries as M.P. to pass a measure for reform- 
 ing the army. Contains a large amount of special technical knowledge, which is carefully 
 explained. [3 vols., 25s. 6d., Blackwood : o.p.] 
 
 ■ The Dilemma : A Tale of the Mutiny. 1876 
 
 How the English in an up-country station are surprised by the Mutiny and forced to defend

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Chesney, Sir George Tomkyns (continued). — The Private Secretary. 1881 
 
 A young philanthropist falls in love with his private secretary ; but as his income depends on 
 his offering marriage to a cousin, he is for a time hindered from marrying her, and induces 
 her to become his mistress. Interest is concentrated on the heroine, on her gradual falling 
 in love, and the mental struggle between self-respect and the dread of poverty for herself 
 and her orphan brother. [3 vols., 25s. 6d., Blackwood : o.p.] 
 
 Coleridge, Mary E. [1861-1907]. The King with Two Faces. 1897 
 
 A romance deahng with the events that led to the assassination of Gustavus III of Sweden in 
 1792, the cabals of the nobility, the siege of Gothenburg, the King's revocation of the 
 Constitution, etc. {1789-92). The Parisian episodes introduce Marie Antoinette, Count 
 Fersen, Mme. de Stael, and others. Suffused with her curious mysticism. [6s., Arnold.] 
 
 The Fiery Dawn. 1901 
 
 Same theme as in Dumas' She Wolves, the Duchesse de Berri's attempt to place her son on 
 the French throne (1831-2). Historical and other characters drawn with fullness and care, 
 plenty of strenuous action and strong touches of tragedy ; yet on the whole a vague 
 and dreamy romance, like the others by Miss Coleridge. [6s., Arnold (?i.5o, Longman, 
 New York).] 
 
 The Lady on the Drawing-room Floor. 1906 
 
 A tenuous, enigmatic romance of to-day. [6s., Arnold (?i.50, Longman, New York).] 
 
 Conway, Hugh " [Frederick John Fargus ; 1840-85]. Called Back. 1884 
 
 A bold, terse, and thriUing melodrama, based on the idea of a man's temporary loss of memory. 
 The first of the modem " shilling shockers," it met with immense success and was drama- 
 tized, [is., Arrowsmith, Bristol (25c., Hurst, New York).] 
 
 A Family Affair. 1885 
 
 A plot-novel of the Wilkie Collins type, with some character and delineation of domestic Ufe, 
 conversation and social incident, and touches of comedy in the idiosyncrasies of a pair of 
 brothers. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 - A Cardinal Sin. 1886 
 
 A complicated plot-novel, with a murder and a young man's adroit intrusion of himself into 
 another's place and fortunes. [3s. 6d., Eden (30c., Holt, New York).] 
 
 Crackanthorpe, Hubert M. [1865-96]. Wreckage ; and other Stories. 1893 
 
 Little masterpieces of stem, tragic realism, of a kind more common in French literature than 
 in English : a relentless exposure of the seamy side of modern life ; terrible in their cold, 
 unimpassioned statement of the saddest things. [3s. 6d., Heinemann.] 
 
 Craigie, Pearl Mary Teresa [nee Richards ; " John OUver Hobbes" ; 1867-1906 ; 
 American by birth). Tales. 1894 
 
 Four very actual and searching stories of modern society, rather fantastic in idea, pessimistic 
 and cynical in criticism of life, clever and epigrammatic in style. The Sinner's Comedy 
 (1892) is typical. The sinner's wife is an admirable woman, despised and slighted by her 
 husband, whereas she might have been the good genius of a finer man, whose life is a blank 
 without her. The irony of fate — or rather of human society — is set forth with bitter pathos. 
 Some Emotions and a Moral (1891), a tragical love-tale, is a good introduction to Mrs. 
 Craigie's curious blend of the real and the imaginary world. The other stories are A 
 Study in Temptations (1893) and A Bundle of Life {1894), both rather strange and morbid 
 in their main theme, and embracing some charmingly eccentric by-characters. [6s., Unwin 
 ($1.50, Stokes, New York).] 
 
 ■ The Gods, Some Mortals, and Lord Wickenham. 1895 
 
 A good man's marriage to a woman with a past, treated from a lofty standpoint. The husband's 
 is a pathetic story of forsaken ideals. Lord Wickenham, confidant of the husband and 
 official commentator, expounds the moral that a man should marry the goddess that he loves 
 and not from mere weakness stoop to earth. [6s., 2S., Unwin ($1.50, Appleton, New York).] 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 Craigie, Pearl Mary Teresa (continued) — The Herb Moon : a Fantasia. 1896 
 
 A little drama of the bizarre kind dear to Mrs. Craigie — the prolonged and interrupted court- 
 ship of a supposed widow, who has a living husband in an asylum. She is a pathetic 
 type of suffering womankind ; the man is a strong, pure-natured, taciturn character. 
 [6s., 28. 6d., Unwin.] 
 
 — — • The School for Saints. 1897 
 
 Robert Orange \sequeJ]. 1900 
 
 Two parts of a rambling life-history that opens up some moral problems. The more significant 
 characters are uncommon in type, highly intellectual, lofty in their ideals, touched with 
 decadence, thoroughly modern. The hero and his friends discuss religion, the greater 
 issues of life, and other matters of deep emotional interest in a very solemn and self-con- 
 scious way. Robert Orange, a paragon among feminine heroes, loves a woman whose hus- 
 band proves to be living, and they part ; yet when the husband dies leaving them free, 
 the idealist and visionary renounces love and seeks peace in the cloister ; he has already 
 abandoned a brilliant political career. Orange is an idealized study of Disraeli, who 
 further is introduced in person. [Each 6s., Unwin (each Si. 50, Stokes, New York).] 
 
 The Serious Wooing : a Heart's History. 190 1 
 
 A story of high society, castigating its pettiness and insincerity with pointed wit. The head- 
 strong heroine, sacrificing all to her forbidden passion, appears respectable compared with 
 the empty and cynical worldlings who constitute this spurious aristocracy. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Love and the Soul Hunters. 1902 
 
 Introduces us to the world of throneless princes, morganatic marriages, subterranean diplomacy, 
 and high finance, the most compelling figure being a demi-mondaine of consummate clever- 
 ness hailing from America. Her daughter, a wholesome English girl, is loved by a libertine 
 prince — " a sentimental soul-hunter, a specialist in souls " — and a sour German doctor : 
 which of them will win ? As usual, all the characters, always and everywhere, talk glibly 
 like critics of life, not actors in it. [6s., is. n., Unwin ($1.50, Funk cS; Wagnalls, New York).] 
 
 The Vineyard. 1904 
 
 A sarcastic, paradoxical, and not over-convincing picture of middle-class mediocrity, modem 
 affectation of culture, and undiluted phiUstinism in a provincial town, with the usual 
 impersonations of decadence that Mrs. Craigie affects. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 The Dream and the Business. 1906 
 
 A family of Nonconformists in Bayswater, some middle-class Hampstead people, a lord and 
 his lady unsatisfactorily mated, and other modern personalities, some commonplace and 
 some complex and bizarre — drawn with little sympathy, though less satire than pervades 
 the last book. Vague and inconclusive as a story — in Mrs. Craigie's way — but abounding 
 in keen flashes of insight into life and the objects of life, religion, society, culture and 
 barbarism, and in her old brilliant epigram. Gladstone makes an appearance. , [6s., 
 Unwin ($1.50, Appleton, New York).] 
 
 Cunningham, Sir Henry Stewart [J. 1832]. Wheat and Tares. i860 
 
 A short love-story, with a brilliant and clever young man for principal, whose egoism and 
 adroit mastery of people and events remind one of George Eliot's Tito Melema. A close 
 representation of society in a seaside town ; the conversations characterized by wit and 
 repartee and free handling of sentimental, moral, and religious topics. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Late Laurels. 1864 
 
 Main idea : the contrast between a nature of genuine simplicity and nobleness and a brilliant 
 but artificial character, a product of modern social influences. Sketches of society ; 
 smart and lightly sarcastic dialogue. [2 vols., 21s., Longman : o.p.] 
 
 — The Chronicles of Dustypore. 1875 
 
 Anglo-Indian ofiicial and social life in a station of the Sandy Tracts and in a pleasure resort 
 among the hills. A gay little comedy, largely satirical, involving a variety of motives, 
 love in particular ; with plenty of lively dialogue. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Cunningham, Sir Henry Stewart {continued). — -The Heriots. 1889 
 
 The heroine becomes engaged to a wealthy M.P., who introduces her to the cream of English 
 Society, an episode that enables a number of characters to be amusingly sketched. Then 
 she finds she is really in love with another man, poor like herself, to whom the novelist 
 marries her in the last chapter. Sparkling dialogue. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Sibylla. 1894 
 
 The story of the young spendthrift, who breaks his father's heart, disappears after ruining 
 the family property, and comes to light again only to cause embarrassment, is of minor 
 interest compared with the sketches of character and of society. The dialogue is fuU of 
 zest and point ; politics and the lighter themes of a pleasure-loving world filling many 
 pages with animated talk. [2 vols., 12s., Macmillan.] 
 
 Davidson, John [185 7-1 909]. Perfervid : the Career of Ninian Jamieson. 1890 
 
 " One of the most original and fascinating stories of ' young blood ' and child adventure ever 
 written " (Encyc. Brit.). [2s. 6d., Ward & Downey : o.p.] 
 
 Baptist Lake. 1894 
 
 Plotless and rather scattered in its interest ; but contains some suggestive sketches of character 
 and striking thoughts about life. The anti-hero Baptist is a self-indulgent charlatan who 
 exalts sensuality into a shoddy sestheticism. [3s. 6d., Ward & Downey.] 
 
 A Full and Free Account of the Wonderful IVlission of Earl Lavender, which 
 
 leaked out one night and one day : with a history of the Pursuit of Lord 
 Lavender and Lord Brumm by Mrs. Seamier and JVlaud Emblem. 1895 
 
 A novel harking back somewhat to the romantic motives of Perfervid. [3s. 6d., Ward & 
 Downey: o.p.] 
 
 Davis, John [" Owen Hall "]. In the Track of a Storm. 1896

 These are " comic and sentimental tales and legends of Ireland " originally pubUshed in the 
 Dublin comic paper Zozimus, which Mr. Dowling edited about 1870. [o.p.] 
 
 The IMystery of Killard. 1879 
 
 The mystery is connected with an inaccessible rock on the forbidding coast of Clare and a 
 certain treasure. But the central and most original idea is that of " a deaf mute who, 
 by brooding on his own misfortune, grows to envy and then to hate his own child, because 
 the child can hear and speak." [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Tinsley : o.p.] 
 
 ■ Old Corcoran's Money. 1884 
 
 The first of various sensational plot-novels to which the author now turned his attention. A 
 miser, his stolen money, and the detection of the thief, with sketches of life in S. Ireland, 
 and some character-drawing. [3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Dixon, William Hepworth [1821-79]. Diana, Lady Lyle. 1877 
 
 Takes the reader half round the globe ; Virginia, Niagara, Canada, London, Yorkshire, France, 
 Egypt, Simla, all become the successive scenes and supply travel-pictures. The tale is 
 of a serious misunderstanding in Lady Lyle's married life and its clearing up. The char- 
 acters are as cosmopolitan as the scenery. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Hurst cS: Blackett : o.p.]

 Downey, Edmund (continued).— From the Green Bag. 1889 
 
 Comic episodes of pseudo-history by a humorist of County Waterford, Dan Banim— e.g. the 
 burlesque account of King James's escape after the battle of the Boyne, the loves of Dermot 
 MacMurrough and Devorgilla, and the true story of Lambert Simnel the impostor ; char- 
 acter sketches of a set of old sea-dogs, mostly Irish, and their favourite yams, and other 
 tales of an extravagant kind. [All o.p.] 
 
 The Merchant of Killogue. 1894

 A story of the sea. [6s., Hurst cS: Blackett.] 
 
 Du Maurier, George [1834-97]. Peter Ibbetson. 1894 
 
 Du Maurier, the black-and-white artist, wrote three novels out of the materials furnished by 
 his personal memories of Ufe in Paris and other places in France and Belgium, the best 
 of- them, though not the most popular, being the first. A melancholy, dreamy book, the 
 plot-motive of which is a supernatural gift enabUng the hero to meet his lost love in the 
 dreamland of the past. Reminiscences of a happy childhood spent at Passy give a 
 realistic basis to the fantasy. Illustrated by the Author. [6s. ($1.50), Harper; 2 vols., 
 2is., 8vo, Harper.] 
 
 Trilby. 1895 
 
 Made up partly of Du Maurier's reminiscences of Bohemian life in Paris, and partly of a story 
 
 of hypnotic influence over a beautiful girl. It was this inferior sensational element which 
 brought the story fame, especially in the dramatized form. In spite of the poignant 
 sadness, the book is mainly a comedy, full of spontaneous mirth and bonhomie. [2s. n. 
 ($1.75), Harper.] 
 
 The Martian. 1898 
 
 Returns to the theme of Peter Ibbetson — France in the forties, Parisian and provincial happy 
 
 domestic life, Belgian scenes, Malines and its dignified clerical society. The romantic 
 side is concerned with a dream-influence from Mars that supplies the hero with literary 
 inspiration, whilst Utopian adumbrations of a nobler race of men inspire Du Maurier the 
 draughtsman. [6s. ($1.75), Harper.] 
 
 DuRAND, Sir Henry Mortimer [b. 1850]. Helen Treveryan. 1892 
 
 Adventures and love affairs of a young English officer, killed by Afghans. The second Afghan 
 War (1878-9) is described in circumstantial style (the author was present), with criticisms 
 of the position of the British in India. [3s. 6d., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 Farjeon, Benjamin Leopold [1838-1903]. Grif : a Story of AustraHan Life. 1866 
 
 Poverty, villainy, and innocence in the end triumphant ; an Oliver Twist of Melbourne and 
 the diggings at the time of the Gold Rush. Grif is a street arab and a thief, but brave 
 and capable of all the virtues. On the one hand we have Grif, a virtuous and unfortunate 
 wife, and the misguided husband ; on the other, a gang of desperadoes and bushrangers. 
 [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.] 
 
 Blade-o'-Grass. 1874

 — This Man's Wife. 1887 
 A story of a Botany Bay convict (early nineteenth century). The tragic interest comes from 
 
 a noble wife's sublime devotion to a worthless husband, and her sufferings and pathetic 
 endeavours to prove his innocence. The author's tales for boys are better known than 
 these more ambitious works. [3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Story of Anthony Grace. 1887 
 A simple, un^xaggerated chronicle of other people's lives. A boy without friends wins his 
 
 way to success, a young inventor struggling to perfect an important invention. The 
 entertaining constable, Revitts, and an irascible, tender-hearted maid-servant supply 
 humour. [3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Man with a Shadow. 1888 
 
 A young surgeon with a theory about death, whose experiment in this direction results in 
 madness and obsession, with the belief that he T^as a dual personality ; a muscular curate

 characters and plenty of vigorous incident. [3s. 6d., Chatto.]

 FoTHERGiLL, Jessie [1851-91]. Aldyth. 1876 
 
 A girl refuses, from a sense of duty to her younger sisters, to emigrate with her lover, and 
 ten years later is treacherously supplanted by one of them. A domestic story of the trials 
 that purify character. [2s., Macmillan.] 
 
 The First Violin. " 1877 
 
 A sympathetic picture of German musical life, the hero being leader of an orchestra in Diissel- 
 dorf . A story of incident as well as of character, strong in local colour. [6s., Macmillan ;. 
 $1, 30c., Holt, New York.] 
 
 • ■ Probation. i88o> 
 
 A story of the Lancashire cotton famine of 1863, setting forth on the one side the distress, 
 of the poor operatives, and on the other the loves of a wealthy girl, a hot champion of 
 women's rights, and a clever man who engages her energies and enthusiasms in really 
 useful work. [2s., Macmillan ; 75c., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 Kith and Kin. 1881 
 
 Like the foregoing, a good example of the novel suited for family reading. The hero is the 
 grandson of a wealthy squire, disinherited and earning his living as a clerk. His grandsire 
 learns accidentally the true position of the young man, whom he had supposed to be in 
 comfortable circumstances. This is the starting-point of the plot. The love episodes 
 have many passages of deep and true feeling. [2s., Macmillan; $1, Burt, New York.] 
 
 115 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 FOTHERGILL, Jessie (continued). — From Moor Isles. 1888 
 
 A small group of characters, male and female ; Brian, a study of the artistic temperament, 
 in which the author always shows especial interest, the impulsive Inez, and the fine- 
 natured daughter of the people, Alice Ormerod, with her devotion and unreciprocated 
 love. [2S., Macmillan; $1.35, Holt, New York.] 
 
 Froude, James Anthony [1818-94]. The Two Chiefs of Dunboy. 1889 
 
 An historian's essay in fiction — an Irish tale composed of some materials used in writing his 
 English in Ireland. [3s. 6d., Longman.] 
 
 Garnett, Richard [1835-1906]. The Twilight of the Gods; and other Tales. 1888 
 
 The title story is a witty travesty of the Prometheus legend, the titan being released from 
 durance when the Christian mob ejects the pagan gods. Some two dozen shorter stories 
 are of the same sardonic trend ; the close-knit construction, the parsimony of effect, 
 and the strong, masculine style, being quite after the classic model. [New and augmented 
 edn., 6s., Lane, 1906.] 
 
 GissiNG, George Robert [1857-1903]. The Unclassed. 1884 
 
 Gissing was one of the most serious and conscientious students of modem conditions, par- 
 ticularly in the lower middle classes, and wrote with a faithfulness and sincerity that 
 but for his lack of humour would have made him one of our greatest novelists. Like 
 Balzac, he was a demographer. He worked in crowds, or rather social groups, and it is 
 these that impress themselves on the memory rather than any individual creations. 
 He discloses in a powerful and luminous way the realities of life to-day, especially in great 
 towns like London, and not only shows up social maladies, but illustrates the working of 
 ameliorative agencies, particularly Socialism. In The Unclassed he attacks a most 
 dispiriting problem in an idealistic fashion. The " Unclassed " are the " daughters of 
 joy," and the author would show that even these are not utterly lost. Two girls are 
 rescued, or rescue themselves, and live an honest and womanly life ; one of them devoting 
 Iierself nobly to the work of helping the poor and fallen. [6s., Lawrence & BuUen ; $1.25, 
 50C., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 Demos : a Story of English Socialism. 1886 
 
 A very earnest examination of Socialism in its effect on various minds ; the principal charac- 
 ter, a demagogic workman who comes into money and gradually lapses from integrity 
 and his high ideals. The finer natures of the woman who loves him and of the woman 
 of gentle nurture whom he marries bring in the pathos of human tragedy, while his old 
 companions and his relatives afford studies of idiosyncrasy and human kindness amongst 
 the working classes. Much more honest as a study of life as it is than the earlier novel. 
 [2S. 6d., 2S., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Thyrza. 1887 
 
 Tells the story of a London factory girl whose imaginative and spiritual disposition stands 
 out in relief against squalid surroundings. Full of tragic human interest, to which 
 the many by-characters contribute, e.g. the artisan-student, the young Ruskinian teaching 
 among the workmen of Lambeth, and a working-man who is an agnostic and SociaUst. 
 [2s.,6d., 2S., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 A Life's Morning. 1888 
 
 " The most vernal in atmosphere of any of his novels." The heroine does marry the lover 
 whose position is so much above hers, but her father's fate is representative of a pathetic 
 group of Mr. Gissing's characters, worthy and capable men, whose life-work is ruined by 
 the conditions into which they are born. [2s. 6d., 2s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 The Nether World. 1889 
 
 Pictures in a stern and impressive way the obscure, poverty-stricken multitudes of Clerken- 
 well, brutalized by the inhuman struggle for bread, half of them criminals or in close 
 touch with criminals, a nether world of squalor and misery. Among the drab crowds 
 that move before us stand out the family of a worthy man ruined by misfortune, with a 
 son and a daughter driven to felony and immorality ; and, on the other hand, a little 
 group of ideal characters engaged in a lofty struggle with evil, in which they are worsted 
 by circumstances. [2s. 6d., 2s., Smith & Elder; 45c., Harper, New York.] 
 
 116 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 GissiNG, George Robert (continued). — The Emancipated. 1890 
 
 Presents a series of characters who have liberated themselves from the restraints of creed and 
 moral law. The emancipated women are morbid, self-questioning types, whose histories 
 are records of failure and unhappiness, reUeved by the episode of Miriam's wooing and 
 marriage to a rough and honest man and their happy after-life. [6s., Lawrence & BuUen.] 
 
 New Grub Street. 1891 
 
 A pessimistic study of the literary life under modem conditions, much of the poignancy 
 due to an autobiographical element. The writer, who is a business man, succeeds, while 
 those of superior talent and finer artistic conscience fall into distress and ruin. [2s. 6d., 
 2S., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 — Born in Exile. 1892 
 The hero, a compound of base and honourable qualities, is ambitious of rising in the world 
 
 and of mixing with cultivated society, but is handicapped by the disadvantages of his 
 early life and by personal qualities attributed to heredity. [3s. 6d., 2s., Black.] 
 
 — The Odd Women. 1893 
 A curious phase of modem hfe, the forlorn lot of the" superfluous" women. The ineffectual 
 
 struggles of a group of gently nurtured women, and a girl's unhappy marriage for the sake 
 of a home, related with his usual realism. [2s. n., Bullen; $1, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 — In the Year of Jubilee. 1894 
 Satirizes the vulgarity and barbarism of the lower middle class, presenting a humorous com- 
 mentator in a man with a mania for statistics, and a number of typical characters drawn 
 and analysed with candour and realism. [6s., Lawrence & Bullen ; $1, 50c., Appleton, 
 New York.] 
 
 — Eve's Ransom. 1895 
 
 Dwells on the sordid aspects of lower-middle-class hfe, and describes how Eve's artistic and 
 social aspirations are awakened by a visit to Paris. [6s., Lawrence & Bullen; $1, 50c., 
 Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — The Whirlpool. 1897 
 Theme : the irresistible attraction which London, with its pleasures, excitements, and ex- 
 travagance, has for a numerous class of people, who may depart for a season, but are 
 drawn again into the fatal vortex. The cultured life has no time for children, and sterihty 
 is the common result. Is there not better hope even in Rudyard Kipling's ideal of man 
 as the active animal and fighter ? This and like questions arise in the course of the 
 novel. [6s., Lawrence & Bullen; $1.25, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — Human Odds and Ends. 1897 
 Sketches and jottings of many phases of hfe, rarely amounting to a story, yet significant and 
 
 full of penetration ; e.g. Comrades in Arms, the abortive love affair of a hterary man and 
 a literary woman ; Lord Dunfield, a severe picture of aristocratic barbarism ; Raw Material 
 and The Beggar's Nurse, ghmpses of the sadness and infamy of life under modem condi- 
 tions. [6s., Lawrence & BuUen : o.p.] 
 
 — The Town Traveller. 1898 
 An unwontedly bright story, bringing out the humours of a group of London people of a 
 
 commonplace, typical kind ; a good-natured " commercial," a cockney girl, a lodging- 
 house keeper, and so on, in Kennington. [6s., Methuen ; I1.25, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — The Crown of Life. 1899 
 The first part autobiographical. One of Gissing's restrained tragedies of modern existence — 
 
 how a man misses love, the crown of life. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — Our Friend the Charlatan. 1901 
 
 Comedy of the kind that makes you think how unpleasant everybody is. Deals with higher 
 strata of society and satirizes shallow " culture." The Charlatan is a product of modem 
 education, who puts himself forward as a politician with a theory. (This bio-sociological 
 theory is really borrowed from Prof. Jean Izoulet's La Citi moderne). The unpleasant 
 characters are true to modem conditions, and the analysis is fair though severe. [6s., 
 Chapman; $1.50, Holt, New York.] 
 
 117 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 GiSSiNG, George Robert (continued). — ^The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft. 1903 
 
 The mellowest, kindest, and most human fruit of Gissing's pen. Pathetic in its autobio- 
 graphic interest, as Ryecroft only too plainly reflected the struggles and disillusionments of 
 Gissing's own career as an author, which ended untimely the year this was published. 
 A defeated literary man comes into an annuity, gives up book-making, and settles down to 
 quiet happiness and contemplation in the country. This is his diary in spring, summer, 
 autumn, winter ; with his observations of nature, people, books, and himself — a capti- 
 vating revelation of Gissing's own mind and heart. [6s., 3s. 6d., 2s. 6d. n., Constable.] 
 
 — — Veranilda. 1904 
 
 A scholarly and workmanlike, but colourless, historical romance, depicting the dying struggles 
 of Rome and Italy during the Gothic invasion under Totilas, just after the brilliant 
 exploits of Belisarius (544-6). Veranilda is a Gothic princess, loved by a Roman noble. 
 [6s., Constable.] 
 
 Tlie House of Cobwebs ; and other Stories. 1906 
 
 A collection of very significant and representative fragments, which, Hke Human Odds and 
 Ends, shows how admirably Gissing could work on a small scale. Introductory survey 
 by Thomas Seccombe. [6s., Constable.] 
 
 Gould, Rev. Sabine Baring- \b. 1834]. In Exitu Israel. 1870 
 
 Church and state in France {1788-9). [o.p. ; 2 vols., 21s., i vol. ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Mehalah : a Story of the Salt Marshes. 1880 
 
 A powerful and imaginative story of peasant folk on the east coast, in which character and 
 melodrama are mixed in fairly equal parts. Mehalah is a country girl of strong and passion- 
 ate nature, the heroine of some painful episodes ; there is racy humour in the talk and 
 doings of several rustic people. [2s. 6d., 2s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 — — John Herring. 1884 
 
 A powerful and sombre story of village hfe and half-savage, primitive characters on the borders 
 of Devon and Cornwall. The characters numerous and varied, and their development 
 the basis of the action. Imaginative description of places and of old famihes and their 
 histories, the legends connected with the Dartmoor antiquities, etc. Strong in dialect. 
 [2s. 6d., 2S., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Court Royal : a Story of Cross-Currents. 1886 
 
 The last act in the reign of a ducal family, brought low by chronic extravagance. Attention 
 is concentrated on the career of a poor girl, pawned to the Jew who holds the chief mort- 
 gages and uses them as instruments of revenge for a personal outrage. By her natural 
 abilities she inherits the Jew's wealth, marries a rich parvenu, and ends as mistress of the 
 duke's late mansion. The eclipse of the aristocratic house is treated as a serious problemi 
 of modern social tendencies, though Joanna's career is all melodrama. [2s. 6d., 2S., Smith 
 & Elder.] 
 
 - Red Spider. 1887 
 
 Aims at picturing realistically and preserving the features of village life on the borders of 
 Devon and Cornwall as it was fifty years or more ago. The heroine is a girl of noble 
 nature, and the yeoman farmer class is depicted with many individual touches. [2s., 
 Chatto ; 75c., 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — ■ The Gaverocks. 
 
 The sensational plot turns on wife-murder ; the characters are accentuated types of Cornish 
 villagers in bygone times ; the peasants, callous, unlovable people ; the gentry repre- 
 sented by a brutal old squire of an obsolete stamp and his family — a rudely picturesque 
 group. Local customs, superstitions, and other folklore copiously exploited. [2s. 6d., 
 2S., Smith & Elder; 50c., 25c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 — Richard Cable, the Lightshipman. 1888 
 
 Story of an Essex peasant who marries an heiress — the pathos of humble life, relieved with 
 farce. The story at length transports us to Cornish scenes, and there is a fine descrip- 
 tion of a great wreck. [2s. 6d., 2s., Smith & Elder; 25c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.]

 Methuen.]

 York.] 
 
 — Kitty Alone : a Story of Three Fires. 1895 
 
 Teignmouth and the fringes of Dartmoor in the rick-burning days (c. 1820). Kitty is one of

 to get the insurance, is a rascal strongly portrayed. Describes " Brunei's Folly " — the 
 Atmospheric Railway. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — The Broom-Squire. 1896 
 
 ' Deals with the historic murder of a sailor near the Devil's Punchbowl, Hindhead, in 1786,

 — Pabo the Priest. 1899 
 
 A story of Wales in the time of Henry I (1100-35), who was trjdng to force Roman discipline

 local colour. [6s., Methuen ; 25c., Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — Furze Bloom. 1899

 The heroine, the unacknowledged child of a gentleman and a smuggler's daughter, is given a 
 lady's education by the energy of her mother, a fierce, persecuted woman, who curses 
 her recreant husband and is reconciled to him only on his death-bed. The heroine's is 
 also a strong, mutinous nature ; and the other characters participate more or less in the 
 same exceptional strength. Devonshire landscape is an attractive feature in the story,

 A collection of short detective stories that deal httle with the repellent aspects of crime, 
 though concerned with shady life and the hunting down of felons. Very matter-of-fact 
 and unsentimental in manner. The author was an authority on police and crime, and had

NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 makes his religion a sanction for selfishness ; a down-trodden, patient wife , and a boy, a 
 mischievous, affectionate imp, are the principal figures. The boy's daring saves the 
 transcontinental mail and makes his mother's last days happy. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Hardy, Thomas [b. 1840]. Desperate Remedies. 1871 
 
 A plot»novel of the Wilkie Collins brand, with some glints of Mr. Hardy's powerful sketching 
 of village life, rustic gossips, and nature. 
 
 Under the Greenwood Tree. 1872 
 
 The first of the Wessex novels proper, the common groundwork of which is a very vivid, 
 
 intimate, and lifelike delineation of the people of Dorset and the neighbouring counties, 
 and of the natural life and scenery. The local dialect is used with literary modification, 
 A series of dramas, mainly tragic, hingeing on motives of passion, are enacted in these 
 surroundings, the protagonists, as a rule, being yeomen, tradesmen, and others, raised 
 above the rank of the peasants, who figure chiefly in the comic scenes. A gloomy and 
 sceptical view of life and morality becomes more pronounced in the later works, which 
 sometimes take on a polemical tone. Mr. Hardy is by genius a dramatist, with strong 
 leanings to naturalism on the one hand, and on the other a high poetic imagination which 
 instinctively personifies Nature herself as an actor in his theatre of human forces and the 
 forces that play on humanity. This first characteristic novel is an idyll of village life, in 
 which the members of a carrier's family and the parish choir, a gathering of rustic oddi- 
 ties, furnish a sort of comic chorus to the main action — the loves of a rustic boy and girl. 
 It is the brightest example of Mr. Hardy's genuine though somewhat limited humour. 
 
 A Pair of Blue Eyes. 1872-3 
 
 Two friends are in love with the same Cornish girl, who loves both and marries neither, the 
 
 end poignant tragedy. The story turns characteristically on the mutual misunderstandings 
 of the friends and similar sins of innocence on the maiden's part. The author's gloomy 
 determinism begins to show itself here in the abundant coincidences that seem like fatality. 
 A Uttle village on the Cornish coast is the principal scene. 
 
 Far from the Madding Crowd. 1874 
 
 Represents the tragi-comedy of country Hfe : the principal characters farmers, whose labour- 
 ing men take the comic parts. The title is ironical, several deaths chequering the story, 
 though Oak and Bathsheba, two characters thoroughly typical of Thomas Hardy, are 
 wedded at the end. A harrowing episode of seduction, desertion, and death, and a melo- 
 dramatic episode of disappointed love and jealousy, are attached to the main story. The 
 routine of agricultural work, outdoor life on the farm, the natural scenery and the weather 
 make a fine setting, often coloured with the richest poetic imagination. 
 
 — ■ — The Hand of Ethelberta : a Comedy in Chapters. 1876 
 
 Deals with both Wessex and society in London. Ethelberta is the author's Becky Sharp, 
 but differs in fundamental traits from Thackeray's adventuress. A girl of lowly birth, 
 she flourishes for a time as a fine lady by means of genuine talent, a successful crusader 
 against caste prejudice, but ends as wife of an aristocratic debauchee. Unconquerable 
 loyalty to her needy brothers and sisters is her redeeming virtue. 
 
 The Return of the Native. 1878 
 
 A drama of passion and nemesis, enacted amidst the wild and solemn scenery of an imaginary 
 
 heath, and animated profoundly by the author's philosophy of revolt. He regards the 
 characters and their environment as illustrations of the " quandary " in which the working 
 of natural laws has placed mankiijd. Fatal misunderstandings between dear relatives, 
 and the subtle and imperceptible yielding to temptation, which leads to crime and death, 
 are the characteristic motives. Clym Yeobright and his mother and the strangely fasc- 
 inating Eustacia Vye are among his finest impersonations of human longing and disillusion- 
 ment, anguish, and endurance. A typical example of Mr. Hardy's poetic treatment of 
 nature and nature's influence on character. 
 
 The Trumpet Major. 1879 
 
 A genial and happy love-story, more soberly reahstic than the foregoing in its picture of family 
 
 life and of a fickle sailor lover. The anxiety and suspense prevailing in the southern 
 counties during the Napoleonic terror is a leading motive, and we get a glimpse of George 
 III and his family at their favourite watering-place of Weymouth. The Trumpet Major 
 has been successful on the boards of a rustic theatre. 
 
 123 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Hardy, Thomas {continued). — -A Laodicean ; or, The Castle of the De Stancys : a 
 Story of To-day. 1881 
 
 Another minor novel of Wessex and society. The heroine a weaker Ethelberta and the motive 
 somewhat similar, feudal prestige superseded by brains and money. 
 
 Two on a Tower : a Romance. 1882 
 
 A fanciful and unreal story with a strong dash of poetry ; the hero an amateur astronomer 
 burning to devote his life to science. A lady of higher social status loves him, and thus 
 creates one of the ironical situations in which the author delights. 
 
 — The Mayor of Casterbridge. 1886 
 
 A minor but characteristic work, concentrating interest on one man, an impetuous, domi- 
 neering personality, whose energy wins him worldly success, but whose bad passions 
 eventually work his ruin. Life in a small provincial town (Dorchester), with imaginative 
 description of the place and its rural surroundings. 
 
 - — The Woodlanders. 1887 
 
 A sylvan pastoral of central Dorset, imbued with a pagan delight in the beauty and the 
 bounteousness of nature, the human figures appearing, as it were, part and parcel of the 
 landscape. A love- tale of the conventional kind holds the foremost place ; but the under- 
 plot is lofty and austere tragedy, an idyll of unrequited love, of which the two protagonists 
 are, in all their homeliness and simplicity, as majestic as the figures of ^schylus, while 
 the nature-worship and the pagan sentiment recall Theocritus. Richer, perhaps, than 
 any other of his novels in poetical description of the country. 
 
 — Wessex Tales. 1888 
 
 Stories of medium length, some comic but the majority austere. The Three Strangers, which 
 won exceedingly high praise from Louis Stevenson, is a one-act drama, the surprising 
 denouement of which is a piece of sardonic humour; The Withered Arm, a gruesome tale 
 of the supernatural; Interlopers at the Knap and Fellow-Townsmen, fatalistic stories of 
 mistaken marriages, good specimens of those tales in which everything goes awry; The 
 Distracted Preacher, a love-story of a smuggling parish seventy years ago. 
 
 — A Group of Noble Dames. 1891 
 
 Ostensibly legends of Dorsetshire historic families, collected and related by the members of 
 a field club. Chiefly tragi-comedies of wedlock and rather free in treatment ; as grim 
 and sardonic as anything he has written. 
 
 — Tess of the D'Urbervilles : a Pure Woman Faithfully Presented. 1891 
 
 The tragic history of a woman betrayed. Tess is the completer portrait of the ideal woman 
 sketched in the previous novels, a daughter of the primeval soil of Wessex, and at the same 
 time a tragic symbol of the author's fatalism. The title is a cheillenge : Tess, the author 
 contends, is sinned against, but not a sinner ; her tragedy is the work of tyrannical cir- 
 cumstances and the evil deeds of others in the past and the present. This theme is worked 
 out with austere simplicity, a group of figures representing the chief elements of rustic 
 society being used with admirable art to enhance the central significance of Tess. The 
 pastoral surroundings, the varjang aspects of field, river, sky, serve to deepen the pathos 
 of each stage in the heroine's calamities, or to add beauty and dignity to her tragic per- 
 sonality. 
 
 — Life's Little Ironies. * 1894 
 
 Brief stories containing the quintessence of the author's fatahsm, with a series of broadly 
 comic stories appended as a sort of antidote. 
 
 — Jude the Obscure. 1895 
 
 Mr. Hardy's rebellious views of life and religion, and leanings towards naturahstic methods, 
 are given full play in this story of a peasant scholar's foiled ambition, which from begin- 
 ning to end is sombre and in many of the incidents extremely painful. The influence 
 of character upon character, here an influence entirely for evil, is the argument implied in 
 Jude's conjugal history, with its repeated alternations of divorce and reconciliation. 
 The end is the extinction of pure and lofty ideals by the hideous brutality of existence, 
 an end in which Jude's suicide is not the most tragic incident.

NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 Hardy, Thomas {continued). — ^The Well-Beloved : a Sketch of a Temperament. 
 
 1897 
 
 A fantastic jeu d'esprit about an artist in pursuit of his ideal woman. He sees his vision 
 embodied successively in three generations, and last of all woos the granddaughter of his 
 first love. Portland is the principal scene, but there is less local colour than usual.

 Hartley (Mrs. May) [" May Laffan "]. Hogan, M.P. 1876 
 
 A discursive and garrulous novel of Catholic society in Dublin and the country, disclosing the 
 social currents that underlie political movements. Hogan is a struggling barrister, am- 
 bitious and energetic, but not particularly scrupulous. He gets into Parliament in an 
 underhand way, runs a brief course of prosperity, then fails ignominiously. Characters 
 numerous and representative, but few appeal to the sympathies ; yet their social man- 
 oeuvres, petty intrigues, ambitions, gossip and scandal are often diverting. The writer's 
 object is to show up the permanent effects of the wrong methods of education pursued by 
 the Roman Catholics. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Christy Carew. 1880 
 
 Irish people and Irish society, the secular rivalry of the churches, the problem of mixed mar-

 HuNGERFORD, Margaret [wee Hamilton ; 1855-97]. Molly Bawn. 1878 
 
 A love-tale of a tender, frivolous, and petulant Irish girl, who flirts and arouses her lover's 
 jealousy, and offends against the conventions in all innocence. A gay and witty story, 
 spiced with slang and touched with pathos. [2s. 6d., 2s., Smith & Elder; 75c., Lippin- 
 cott, Philadelphia ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 Airy Fairy Lihan. 1879 
 
 A light novel of country Society in England ; frivolous, slangy, and smart ; with pleasant 
 characters, an engaging heroine, happy love affairs, and sparkling dialogue. These are the 
 best of a number of love-tales, having little if any literary pretensions. [2s. 6d., 2s., 
 Smith & Elder ; 75c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Ingelow, Jean (continued). — Stories Told to a Child. 1865 
 
 The best example of her fine interpretation of child-life and character. [2s. 6d., Wells 
 Gardner.] 
 
 Off the Skelligs. 1873 
 
 A family history. The sprightly Dorothea and her mercurial comrade Valentine, with their 
 escapades, their animal spirits, and blithe inconsequence, make light-hearted comedy ; 
 and there is deeper interest in their abortive love affair, and the growth of genuine affection 
 between Dorothea and the hero. Sympathetic portraiture of sensitive natures, and 
 understanding of the unconscious transitions of feeling from friendship to love, are the 
 peculiar qualities of this author. [6s., Paul ; $1, Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Fated to be Free [sequel]. 1875 
 
 Takes up the Mortimer story again, with that of the mysterious crime which overshadows 
 Valentine's inheritance. [2S., Chatto ; $1, Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Sarah de Berenger. 1885 
 
 A poor woman, married to a convict, changes her name and rears her children as their servant,

 Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Don John. 1885 
 
 A case of changing two children at nurse is complicated by the impossibility of knowing 
 whether the change was actually effected. The doubts and misery that aris^ reach a 
 tragic intensity. The secret is revealed in the final paragraph. [2s. 6d., Low ; ?i, Little & 
 Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Jefferies, John Richard [1846-87]. The Dewy Mom. 1884 
 
 A singularly unconventional novel. A half-poetical expression of the great naturaUst's 
 pantheism, if the term can be used, at all events of his nature-worship, his belief 
 in the purity of nature, in the unity of mind and body, and in the truth and excellence 
 of passion as an expression of natural life. The love-tale and its curious psychological 
 drama is sometimes intermitted, and the novelist breaks forth into lyrical descriptions of 
 natural phenomena and man's healthy delight in nature. The book is also a pamphlet, 
 but that part is irrelevant. [2 vols., Bentley, o.p. ; 3s. 6d., Macmillan, 1900, o.p.] 
 
 After London ; or, Wild England. 1886 
 
 Civilized England is overwhelmed by a cataclysm, and the country slowly reverts to a state of 
 nature, while the few surviving inhabitants adopt the barbarous life of early ages. Little 
 story, but the progress of nature's invasion is related with lavish and minute description 
 of animal and plant life. [3s. 6d., Duckworth.] 
 
 — Amaryllis at the Fair. 1887 
 
 An unconventional novel, but a masterly picture of country life. Whilst proceeding by his 
 usual method of word-painting, the novelist succeeds in conveying a true impression of 
 character in the Iden family, whose daily hf e in close touch with nature is made peculiarly 
 real. Out of his minute observation of the things that most of us pay little heed to 
 Jefferies builds up a general impression of nature's life that is singularly full and ample. 
 Dictated to his wife whilst he was dying. [3s. 6d., Duckworth.] 
 
 Johnston, Henry. Chronicles of Glenbuckie. 1889 
 
 A gallery of character-portraits and stories illustrating Scottish character : subjects, the

 village at the time of the Disruption ; village politics, Church doctrine, and courting. 
 [3s., Douglas, Edinburgh : o.p.]

 Similar sketches of nature and humanity in a village in the west of Scotland. [3s. 6d., Ward 
 & Downey : o.p.] 
 
 Dr. Congleton's Legacy : Chronicles of North Country Byways. ■ 1896 
 
 The story unimportant, interest centring in the humours of the Scottish village and its inmates, 
 e.g. the schoolmaster, Saunders M'Phee. [6s., Methuen ; $1.25, Scribner, New York.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 KiCKHAM, Charles Joseph [1826-82]. Sally Cavanagh ; or, The Untenanted Graves. 
 
 1869 
 
 Kickhamwas a Fenian journalist, who in 1865 was sentenced to fourteen years' penal servitude 
 for treason-felony. His novels are strongly nationalist, " the work of a man of warm, 
 tender, homely heart — a man bom and bred one of the people about whom he writes " 
 (Rev. S. J. Brown, s.j.). A simple love-tale of people belonging to the class of small 
 farmers ; the tragedy a consequence of landlordism and emigration. Written in prison. 
 [2s., Duffy, Dublin.] 
 
 Knockagow ; or. The Homes of Tipperary. 1879 
 
 A novel unreservedly praised by Irish critics. A series of living pictures of the different 
 inhabitants and the changing phases of existence in a Tipperary village, rich in first- 
 hand observation of the most sympathetic and keen-eyed sort. [3s. 6d., Duffy, DubUn.] 
 
 For the Old Land : a Tale of Twenty Years Ago. 1886 
 
 Another love-story of the same good brand, pathetic in its sympathy with the peasant's 
 love of home and the pangs of emigration, with a lighter side in the comic pictures of 
 bailiffs and police and the fine old humorist Rody Flynn. [2s., Gill, Dublin.] 
 
 King, Kate Douglas [Mrs. Burr; d. 1901]. The Scripture Reader of St. Mark's. 
 
 1895 
 
 The Scripture Reader, strong and austere man though he is, falls hopelessly in love with a 
 
 woman of vile antecedents, and lives with her ; but the interval of happy fatherhood ends 
 
 in tragedy when the husband reappears out of her unknown past. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson ; 
 
 50 c, Merriman, New York.] 
 
 The Child Who Will Never Grow Old. 1898 
 
 Loving sketches of children, showing a subtle understanding of their thoughts and ways. 
 [5s. ($1.25), Lane.] 
 
 Knowles, R. B. Sheridan. Glencoonoge. 1891 
 
 An English lady and a fine young Irish peasant's love-story, and other romantic matters ; 
 scene, Glengarriff — or somewhere like it — ^in the beautiful south-west. Irish people, Irish 
 habits and peculiarities are well portrayed. [3 vols., 25s. 6d., Blackwood : o.p.l 
 
 Levy, Amy [1862-89]. Miss Meredith. 1889 
 
 Miss Meredith is an English governess, living with an Italian family at Pisa, who has a love 
 affair with a younger son. A story worked out with a simple but admirable realism, which 
 gives us great and trivial things, events, circumstances, and traits of personality, just 
 as they affect the mind; expresses a very passionate and despairing view of life.. 
 [is., Hodder : o.p.] 
 
 Reuben Sachs. 1889 
 
 A sad and not very sympathetic portrayal of Jewish people in London, their character, domestic 
 hfe, religious feelings, and pecuharities of thought, presented in a realistic way. Reuben. 
 Sachs, an ambitious young politician, loves and is loved by the heroine, but puts worldly 
 advancement before passion. He succeeds : she marries a rich but commonplace husband,, 
 and learns one day that Reuben is dead. [3s. 6d., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 LiNSKiLL, Mary [1840-91]. Tales of the North Riding. 1871 
 
 Portray lovingly the rough and simple, strong and good-hearted Yorkshire folk, whose dialect 
 is faithfully reproduced. The Vicar's Daughter tells of the conversion of a cold, self- 
 sustained girl to tenderness and love, through a great peril. Theo's Escape is a domestic 
 story of a girl, the mainstay of a home, who nearly loses her chance of happiness for the 
 sake of her shiftless family. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Between the Heather and the Northern Sea. 1884 
 
 A sentimental love-story, full of descriptive passages of the moors and coasts of Yorkshire, 
 by a close observer of nature. [2s., Macmillan.] 
 
 131 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 LiNSKiLL, Mary {continued). — Hagar. 1887 
 
 A simple little love-story, tinged with melancholy, but not tragic; with portraiture of the 
 country-folk and scenery of the Yorkshire coast, [is., J. Clarke.] 
 
 LowRY, Henry Dawson [i 869-1 906]. Women's Tragedies. 1895 
 
 Pathetic httle stories interpreting the grave, masculine character of the moorland folk of 
 Cornwall, though they aim rather at artistic and spiritual effect than at realism ; e.g. 
 The Man in the Room. [3s. 6d. n.. Lane : o.p.] 
 
 A Man of Moods. 1896 
 
 Inspired by the flower-fields of Scilly. A literary man marries a native ; they disagree, and he 
 returns to London, but the charm of the place and the folk draws him back. [6s.. Sands : 
 o.p.] 
 
 "Lyall, Edna" [Ada Ellen Bayly; 1857-1903]. Donovan: a Modem English- 
 man. 1882 
 
 We Two [sequel]. 1884 
 
 A study of a supposed agnostic, who is estranged from religion by adversity rather than dis- 
 belief. Without touching on the real problems of agnosticism, the writer, in the course of a 
 long domestic narrative of this young man's misfortunes and love affairs, shows how his 
 innate goodness keeps him straight and leads him eventually by the help of his wife to the 
 Christian fold. Luke Raeburn is to some extent a reflection of Bradlaugh. [Ea. 3s. 6d., 
 Hurst ; $1, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 In the Golden Days. 1885 
 
 Chiefly concerned with the home life of Algernon Sydney at Knole Park in " good King 
 Charles's golden days" (c. 1682). [3s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett ; ?i, 50c., Appleton, New 
 York.] 
 
 — Won by Waiting. 1886 
 
 [3s. 6d., Hurst ; $1, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 - Knight Errant. 1888 
 
 Sentimental idealism — the hero sacrifices love and happiness in order to secure his sister's 
 honour and prosperity. Contains a good deal that will interest musical people. [3s. 6d., 
 Hurst & Blackett ; $1, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 - Derrick Vaughan, Novelist. 1889 
 
 A similar idealistic portrait of character, with much self-revelation of the authoress in Derrick's 
 aspirations and disappointments. He is a very perfect character, loyal, brave, and true, 
 sacrificing himself with no hope of return. [3s. 6d., Methuen ; 25c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 To Right the Wrong. 1893 
 
 Labours to achieve a sympathetic but temperate portrayal of John Hampden and his career 
 (1642-3). [3s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Hope the Hermit. 1898 
 
 A love-story of Borrowdale, Cumberland, concerned with Jacobite plots in the reign of William 
 III (c. 1689). [6s. (?i.5o), Longman.] 
 
 In Spite of All. 1901 
 
 Falkland, Laud, etc. (1640-5). [3s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett ; $1.50, Longman, New York.] 
 
 Doreen : the Story of a Singer. 1902 
 
 An Irish nationalist novel. Doreen, the daughter of a Fenian, helps the cause of Home Rule 
 by her singing. Michael Davitt appears as Donal Grant. [6s. ($1.50), Longman.] 
 
 132 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 McCarthy, Justin. [1830-1911]. The Waterdale Neighbours. 1867 
 
 A novel of character — the contrasted life-story of two men, one a manly and upright worker, 
 the other a poUtical turncoat, a Chartist who joins the Tories for the sake of personal 
 success and, when ruin stares him in the face, commits an act of treachery that is quickly 
 followed by retribution. [2s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 A Fair Saxon. 1873 
 
 The fair Saxon's lover is an Irish M.P., whose chivalry leads him into embarrassing entangle- 
 ments with the Fenians, and brings his political career to an abrupt close. Dashing and 
 incisive sketches of men and women, often satirical. [2s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Dear Lady Disdain. 1875 
 
 " A free, friendly, half-boyish sort of nature, which seemed to turn with impatience and even 
 contempt from sentimeutalisms and love-making " — such is the heroine, and there are 
 other fresh and attractive characters, as well as sundry eccentrics. The plot moves on 
 with little compUcation to the 'happy conclusion. [2s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 ■ Miss Misanthrope. 1878 
 
 Donna Quixote. 1879 
 
 Maid of Athens. 1883 
 
 [Each 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Mononia. 1901 
 
 The attempted rising of 1848 in a town in Munster (? Cork) worked into a happy love-story. 
 A Nationalist version of the events ; but fair. [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 MacDonald, George [1824-1905]. Phantastes: a Faerie Romance. 1858 
 
 A fairy-tale for grown-up people which, Uke Meredith's almost contemporary Shagpat, teaches 
 a noble lesson of valour and self-control. Full of poetry both in verse and prose, it uses 
 many of the old properties of fairyland, and shows a fecund and novel imagination. 
 [Illustrated by John Bell, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 David Elginbrod. 1863 
 
 Began a series of Aberdeenshire stories, largely in broad Saxon dialect, which later on begat 
 the Kailyard noveUsts, Barrie, Crockett, " Ian Maclaren," etc. It is a story of humble hfe, 
 centring in two saintly personalities, a dignified and pious Scottish peasant and his 
 daughter. A characteristic vein of mysticism runs through the story. [3s. 6d., Hurst & 
 Blackatt ; $1, Burt, New York.] 
 
 The Portent : a Story of Second Sight. 1864 
 
 Excels even Phantastes in a truly Celtic power of evoking illusion. It is the love-tale of two 
 beings whose spiritual natures are connected by a mystical affinity. The tale closes amid 
 tragic hints and forebodings, but the poetical treatment gives it all a strange, unearthly 
 beauty. [The Portent; and other Stories, 3s. 6d., Unwin, 1909.] 
 
 Alec Forbes of Howglen. 1865 
 
 Portrays the inhabitants of an Aberdeenshire village, and contains MacDonald's most charming 
 pictures of boy life. Alec's boyhood, his University life in Glasgow, his temptation and 
 fall, and his final restoration, are a kind of modern Pilgrim's Progress. [3s. 6d., Hurst & 
 Blackett.] 
 
 Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood. 1866 
 
 Character portraits and studies of conduct chiefly in a Scottish parish, e.g. an amiable parson, 
 epitome of all the virtues, a number of oddities whose talk is very humorous, the various 
 inmates of an ancient hall — the imperious mistress, the dilettante and egotistic musician, 
 the edifying heroine, and the wanton httle sprite Gladys. Ethical and religious interest 
 is paramount, and a spirit of good-will towards men pervades the book, which was the 
 first to bring its author into wide repute. [3s. 6d. ; is. 6d. n., Paul ; 50c., Harper, New 
 York.] 
 
 133 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 MacDonald, George [continued]. — The Seaboard Parish [sequel\. 1868 
 
 History of a long holiday spent by a clergyman and his family on the Cornish coast (Bude). 
 Many incidents ; but the interest centres in the clergyman's talks and conversations, which 
 voice the author's beliefs concerning things in heaven and things on earth. An ideal 
 picture of family happiness and concord. [3s. 6d., is. 5d. n., Paul.] 
 
 Robert Falconer. 1868 
 
 An interesting study of Calvinism and of the growth and manhood of a philanthropist, who 
 puts in action the author's ideas of what should be done. The joys and woes of boyhood 
 are finely sketched ; and the musical soutar, Dooble Sammie, with his love for his old 
 fiddle, and the Calvinistic grandmother, brimming over with affection which she thinks 
 it her duty to repress, are touching figures ; the latter a portrait of MacDonald's own 
 grandmother. [3s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett.] 
 
 At the Back of the North Wind. [juvenile] 1870 
 
 The Princess and the Goblin. [juvenile] 1871

 same glamour and the same ethical teaching, [(i) Illustrated by Arthur Hughes, 3s. 6d., 
 Blackie ; ?r, Burt, New York. (2) Illustrated hj 'Helen. Stratton,|3s. 6d., Blackie ; 75c.,

 The Marquis of Lossie [sequel]. 1877 
 
 The life-history of a boy, the heir to an earldom, who, stolen in infancy, was adopted son by a 
 Highland piper and brought up to be a fisherman. [Each 3s. 6d., is. 6d. n., Paul.] 
 
 St. George and St. Michael. 1876 
 
 Love-tale of Puritan and Royalist (c. 1645). Hero the Earl of Glamorgan, who is represented 
 as the King's scapegoat in the affair of the intrigues for bringing over an Irish army. 
 The Marquis of Worcester prominent among the men and women from both sides. [3s. 6d., 
 IS. 6d. n., Paul.] 
 
 Thomas Wingfold, Curate. 1876 
 
 Traces the conversion of a clergyman from mere professional lip-service to a hearty and genuine 
 faith in God. Interwoven is the story of a youth who accidentally kills a heartless girl 
 to whom he is strongly attached. He is led to repentance and peace by the Curate's 
 influence. [3s. 6d., is. 6d. n., Paul.] 
 
 Paul Faber, Surgeon. 1879 
 
 In some sort a sequel to Thomas Wingfold. How a doctor, devoted to his profession and 
 eager in the service of humanity, is led by painful experience, sorrow, and love for his 
 neighbour to a belief in God. English Nonconformity is depicted in far from attractive 
 colours. [3s. 6d., is. 6d. n., Paul ; $1, 50c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 — Sir Gibbie. 1879 
 
 Spiritual history of a Christ-hke character, and sketches of more than one person to whom the 
 unseen is more real than the seen. [3s. 6d., Hurst & Blackett ; §1, Burt, New York.] 
 
 — Castle Warlock: a Homely Romance. 1882 
 
 Annals of a God-fearing family, whose piety and otherworldliness bring them near to ruin, 
 from which they are saved by the discovery of an ancestral hoard. [3s. 6d., is. 6d. n., 
 Paul; $1.25, Lothrop, Boston.] 
 
 134 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 MacDonald, George {continued). — ^Donal Grant. 1884 
 
 Portrays another of these men of lowly Ufe who influence their neighbours for good, a noble, 
 unselfish being, who wears religion as a familiar everyday garment. There is a little too 
 much of the conventional plot-novel in the mysterious and sensational elements of the 
 story. [3s. 6d., is. 6d. n., Paul; $1.25, Lothrop, Boston.] 
 
 What's Mine's Mine. 1886 
 
 The story of an exiled chief and his brother, forced to sell their lands and emigrate with the 
 remnant of the clan. Their influence for good on two English girls, daughters of their 
 supplanter, and the contrast of their broad views of God's fatherhood with the stern 
 Calvinism of their mother are leading motives, [is. 6d. n., Paul ; $1.25, Lothrop, 
 Boston.] 
 
 Heather and Snow. 1893 
 
 Another romance of Aberdeen.shire, with dialogue in the usual " broad Saxon." An athletic 
 and religious peasant girl, her brother, half-witted but spiritually strong, the hero and his 
 unpleasant mother are the more prominent characters. [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto ; $1.25, 
 Harper, New York.] 
 
 "Maclaren, Ian" [Rev. John Watson; 1850-1907]. Beside the Bonnie Brier 
 Bush. 1894 
 
 A typical production of the Kailyard school of novelists (fee Gait, Bariie, MacDonald, etc.). 
 Sketches and stories of a Scottish village (Drunitochty), realistic in the minute delineation 
 of manners and idiosyncrasies. Domsie is an old-fashioned dominie, a scholar, and a pattern 
 of self-sacrifice ; A Doctor of the Old School, a still more exalted example of patient altruism. 
 Theology is a favourite motive, village connoisseurs of doctrinal points contributing largely 
 to the comedy ; and the pathos of family relations is, of course, a very pervasive feature. 
 [3s. 6d., IS. n., Hodder; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York; Edition de Luxe, 25s., 4to, 
 Hodder.] 
 
 The Days of Auld Langsyne. 1895 
 
 More idylls of Drumtochty, not quite so spontaneous. A Triumph in Diplomacy illustrates 
 Scottish canniness, and the indigenous qualities of piety, family affection, and external 
 impassivity. Pathos is much sought after, and death-bed scenes are frequent, though it 
 is the faith and hope and the fortitude and love rather than the suffering that are dwelt 
 on. Burnbrae, Drumsheugh, Jamie Soutar, and others are on their way to become house- 
 hold names in Scottish fiction. [3s. 6d., is. n., Hodder ; f 1.25, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Kate Carnegie and those Ministers. 1896 
 
 Character sketches and anecdotes loosely connected^ The most original yet a thoroughly 
 representative figure is Rabbi Saunderson, a man of colossal learning, but childlike in his 
 simple faith and unselfishness. The chapter which tells how the gentle old man was urged 
 by conscience to prosecute his beloved friend, Kate's lover, for heterodox preaching, is 
 typical of this sentimental school. [3s. 6d., Hodder; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Afterwards ; and other Stories. 1898 
 
 Fourteen stories, chiefly sentimental and pathetic, a few humorous. Afterwards relates how 
 an easy-going, selfish husband reahzes with tragic suddenness on the death of his neglected 
 wife " that Christ had lived with him for more than ten years, and his eyes had been 
 holden." One or two deal with Drumtochty folk again, as in the death of the old school- 
 master Domsie ; but the author has gone farther afield than usual. His habit of embodying 
 sermons in stories has grown upon him. [3s. 6d., is. n., Hodder ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, 
 New York.] 
 
 Young Barbarians. igoi 
 
 A school-story located in a Tayside village, probably made up of recollections of the author's 
 own boyhood. Rough and hearty good-humour and plenty of farcical fun are the leaven 
 of these scenes of mischief and practical jocularity, stand-up fights and life in school. 
 The two principal characters are an impish lad, " Speug," and a not unkindly school- 
 master, " Bulldog," who believes in the stick. [6s., 2s. n., Hodder ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, 
 New York.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 "Maclaren, Ian" (continued). — Graham of Claverhouse. 1908 
 
 A life of Dundee thrown into the shape of a novel, with character-drawing of those around him.

 Bristol. [juvenile] 1883 
 
 The story of Edward Colston (1636-1720), the philanthropist, and descriptions of old Bristol

 Abounds in romping comedy, not only in the account of the heroine's tomboy girlhood. Her 
 love-story, with its crosses and perils, is tragic. A fair specimen of a numerous issue of 
 sentimental novels by this writer. [6s., Macmillan, o.p. ; 30c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Meredith, George [1828-1909]. The Shaving of Shagpat : an Arabian Enter- 
 tainment. 1856 
 
 A burlesque of the Oriental story mingUng humorous extravaganza with sheer poetry, and 
 convejring a Meredithian lesson in practical ethics. Imagination often takes wing in flights 
 of irregular verse, and the wisdom expresses itself in rhymed aphorisms with an Oriental 
 ring. George Eliot reviewed the book, and compared its exuberant imagery to that of the 
 Aydbian Nights. 
 
 The Ordeal of Richard Feverel. 1856 
 
 Meredith's novels combine the scientific analysis and philosophical criticism which were carried 
 to such a pitch by George Eliot with the free imagination and passionate intensity brought 
 into EngUsh fiction by the Brontes. His novels must, further, be studied in the light of his 
 great Essay on Comedy, for the Comic Spirit hovers over even the most poetic and the 
 most profoundly tragic situations. Richard Feverel and its immediate successor are the 
 best introduction to Meredith, being easy to read, alive with human interest, and rich in 
 his finest qualities, with few of the mannerisms and obscurities that baffle readers of his 
 later works. An egoistic father brings up his son on an abstract system of education, 
 which breaks down when Richard arrives at the threshold of manhood and falls in love. 
 Here is the ordeal. The comedy of life ends in tragedy the most heart-rending. The 
 characters are many and various: the Meredithian hero Richard, the innocent and noble 
 Lucy, the cynic Adrian whose witticisms express one phase of the satire, the philosophic 
 father and the aphorisms of the Pilgrim's Scrip which express another side, chivalrous 
 Austin Wentworth, the bewitching demi-mondaine Mrs. Mount, and Meredith's finest low- 
 comedy figure, the lodging-house keeper, Mrs. Berry. The lyricism of the love chapters 
 reaches levels hardly attained since Romeo and Juliet.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Meredith, George [continued). — Evan Harrington. i85i 
 
 The son of a fasliionable tailor, brought up in aristocratic tastes and associations, suddenly 
 finds himself saddled with the responsibility of his father's debts. On one side is duty, 
 on the other his love for a well-bom maiden. How Evan comes through the ordeal, 
 happily, yet without abjuring his manhood, is the main business of a sustained comedy 
 in which the subtle conflict of class prejudice is developed with infinite humour. Evan 
 and Rose Jocelyn, his father the Great Mel and his austere mother, the two Cogglesbys, 
 and the fascinating and unscrupulous Countess de Saldar are each in their way thoroughly 
 Meredithian creations. It is now known that the book is largely autobiographical, 
 paiticularly in the more important character- drawing. 
 
 Sandra Belloni. 1864 
 
 Vittoria [sequel]. 1866 
 
 Two novels comprising the life-story of a noble Italian, a woman of genius. The former deals 
 with the comedy of English society, the domestic life of a parvenu family, and Sandra's 
 unprosperous love for a young man who is Mr. Meredith's type of the " sentimentalist," a 
 favourite object of his satire. The book is indeed largely a diagnosis of sentimentalism 
 which, beside the pseudo-hero, is represented by a set of finely graduated persons, such as 
 the Miss Poles, who typify the Fine Shades and the Nice Feelings, Sir Purcell Barrett, 
 who dies for an impossible ideal, and the nobler sentimentalists, Merthyr Powys and 
 Georgiana Ford. Over against these are the real people : Sandra, who is simplicity, 
 passion, and genius incarnate, Pericles, vulgar Mr. Pole, and the still more vulgar Mrs. 
 Chump, who remind one superficially of Dickens, but are nearer akin to Shakespearian 
 comedy. The public career of Sandra, now the great singer Vittoria, transports us to 
 Italy ; and soon we are immersed in the riots and battles of the abortive insurrection of 
 1848. The whole history of the rising, from the preliminary conspiracies to the final 
 collapse, is told with an epical enthusiasm for liberty, but with impartial consideration for 
 the views and motives of both sides. Some thirty important characters appear, types 
 of the Italian leaders and agitators, Austrian officers and English sympathizers, and the 
 tragedy of sentimentalism is carried to its bitter close in the after life of Wilfrid Pole. 
 
 Rhoda Fleming. 1865 
 
 A simple, intensely dramatic story of middle-class people : the heroine daughter of a yeoman, 
 the hero a farmer. In the rustic scenes, farmers and their women-folk, pot-house company 
 and overfed labourers, furnish plenty of low comedy. But the main action is serious, 
 culminating in scenes of heartfelt tragedy, even though the dramatic stress is alleviated 
 at the end. Rhoda, a simple, heroic nature, devotes her all to saving her sister, betrayed 
 and deserted by a false lover, who repents, but too late. The characters are multifarious, 
 ranging from Father Gammon, the stolid, stupid hind, and old Anthony Hackbut, haunted 
 by the money-demon, to the vivacious Anglo-Indian widow Mrs. Lovel, an enigmatic 
 mixture of evil and good. 
 
 The Adventures of Harry Richmond. 1871 
 
 A typical example of Meredith's poetic comedy: incidents and characters, though! n nature 
 and grouping often wildly romantic, are justified by the psychology. A kaleidoscopic 
 story — changing from country to town, from England to Germany — the personages 
 equally multifarious — obstinate Squire Beltham, the fascinating and erratic pretender 
 Richmond Roy, Harry's princess love Ottilia, a goddess of earth, sober and womanly 
 EngUsh Janet, Kiomi the gipsy maiden, an English Carmen, and many another character 
 quickened with intense individuality. Peculiarly rich in imaginative descriptions of 
 country and town, of sea and forest, both in England and on the Continent. 
 
 — — Beauchamp's Career. 1876 
 
 Beauchamp, the Radical, studied from Captain (afterwards Admiral) Maxse, a dear friend of 
 Meredijh, is a chivalrous and impetuous champion of the oppressed ; and his history gives a 
 broad view of the pohtics of mid-century England in the light of Carlyle's teaching. Entwined 
 with the comedy of politics is the comedy of love set forth in the emotional history of 
 Beauchamp, who is successively enamoured of three women, French Renee, the English 
 gentlewoman Ceciha, and the sage and loyal Jenny. Beside these three studies of feminine 
 character, the still more subtle one of Rosamund CuUing holds a prominent place among 
 the numerous figures. The hero's fate, emblematic of his " rocket- mind," is untimely 
 and tragic. The descriptive passages are magnificent, moments of exalted feeling fused 
 indissolubly with some vision of beauty.

NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 Meredith, George {continued). — ^The Egoist : a Comedy in Narrative. 1879 
 
 Contains little of the romance or the poetry of Richard Feverel, Harry Richmond, and Beau- 
 champ's Career ; it is the finest example of Meredith's realism and analytical power. A 
 psychological comedy, mercilessly laying bare the soul of a spoiled child of fortune, 
 outwardly a pattern of conventional virtue, inwardly a thrall to selfishness ; tragical in 
 its exposure of the secret egoism that is in all men. In many ways this novel typifies the 
 author's idiosyncrasies, the dramatic structure of his plots, his satire — of John Bull, 
 of the masculine regime and the sultanic treatment of women — the wit and subtlety of 
 his dialogue, and the profoundly philosophical purpose of his art. Clara Middleton, 
 whose engagement to the hero and its rupture are the pith of the story, is a charming per- 
 sonification of his refined ideas of women ; and the genial epicure, her father, the boy 
 Crossjay, and Vernon Whitford (said to be a sketch of Leslie Stephen) are all intensely 
 Meredithian creations. The novel is very long, the time of the action very brief, each act 
 in the drama being developed with huge elaboration. 
 
 The Tragic Comedians : a Study in a Well-known Story. 1880 
 
 An episode of actual history, interpreted imaginatively and cast into a form like Greek tragedy 
 with dialogue and chorus, but not departing in any vital point from fact — the fatal love 
 story of Ferdinand Lassalle (1825-64). Alvan and Clotilde are a pair of characteristic 
 figures, the former a powerful and predominant nature, whose egoistic conception of 
 love and woman betrays him to his death. 
 
 Diana of the Crossways. 1885 
 
 The story of a woman of genius, suggested in its main lines by the career of the Hon. Carohne 
 Norton, though the famous episode of the selling of the Cabinet secret is not authentic 
 The dialogue, more particularly Diana's talk, is witty and coruscating even for Meredith, 
 and the prologue is a choice specimen of the hard reading he offers. The heroine's love 
 troubles from the disaster of her first marriage to her congenial and happy union with the 
 strong and sensitive Red worth, her Uterary career, and the vicissitudes of her legal troubles, 
 make a chequered story. 
 
 One of our Conquerors. 1891 
 
 Meredith's more cryptic, subtle, and elusive style of thought and writing here takes its full 
 fling. The story of a millionaire of vast i,deas and unconquerable energy, who began his career 
 by marrying a rich old widow. From her he ran away with her young companion. Every- 
 thing prospers with him, though he can never get into Society. Their daughter, kept 
 in ignorance, he seeks to marry to an embryo earl. His schemes end in catastrophe, but 
 the daughter, a picture of what woman will be, marries where she has given her heart. 
 Full of thought, humour, and criticism of our present conditions of life. 
 
 Lord Ormont and his Aminta. 1894 
 
 Even more drastic in its handling of the marriage question, and, unlike the last novel, revolu- 
 tionary. The old lord, a man who has not " rounded Seraglio Point," drives his wife into 
 the arms of her lover, the loyal and practical Weybum. Hero and heroine strive against a 
 passion that infringes human, but not, the author pleads, divine law. The old story of 
 Lord Peterborough and Anastasia Robinson is said to have suggested the plot. 
 
 The Tale of Chloe ; and other Stories. 1895 
 
 Chloe is a brief, tense drama ending in a great act of self-immolation ; scene, Bath in the 
 eighteenth century, in the brilliant world of beaux and fine ladies caustically depicted 
 in Smollett's Humphry Clinker. Farina, written about the same period as Shagpat, is a 
 burlesque-romance in the German fashion, embodying a legend of Cologne in the twelfth 
 century. , Knights and robber-barons, burghers and maidens, saints, fairies, and devils 
 make a strange medley of characters. General Ogle and Lady Camper is a little social 
 comedy, quite in his own vein ; and The House on the Beach, a humorous tale of more 
 homely people, written when Meredith was under the influence of Dickens. 
 
 The Amazing Marriage. 1895 
 
 Like One oj our Conquerors, an unorthodox treatment of a marriage problem, and quite as 
 difficult to read. Carinthia, " the Whitechapel Countess," one of the noblest of his 
 tragic figures, is married precipitately and then neglected by a cynical young earl, 
 whose remorse and unavailing efforts to win her back make a sardonic comedy. Woodseer

 Meredith, George (continued). — Celt and Saxon. 1910 
 
 Meredith's posthumous novel, unfinished, though it runs to three hundred pages. Contrasts 
 John Bull and the Celtic temperament. His Irish mouthpieces give scope for Meredith's 
 characteristic poetry. In fact, the novel is thoroughly characteristic of his manner, 
 though the course of the story is unfortunately an insoluble problem. [6s^, Constable ;

 manners and customs, and of scenery. The style enlivened with epigrams and smart 
 sayings. [6s., Smith & Elder ; |i. 25, Dodd & Mead, New York.]

 Elder ; ?i.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Velvet Glove. 1901 
 
 Spain under Marshal Prim, in the turmoil of Carlist agitation (1870). Opens at Saragossa 
 with the assassination of a wealthy nobleman. The plots and counterplots to get his 
 fortune into Jesuit hands for the service of Don Carlos, and on the other side to secure it 
 for his daughter, make exciting reading, and some fine types of Spanish gentlemen and 
 others are developed. [6s., Smith & Elder ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Vultures. 1902 
 
 History of a plot of Russian Nihilists and insurgent Poles at Warsaw. The Vultures are 
 secret agents of foreign governments, of whom three, the strong Englishman Cartoner, 
 the witty and volatile Frenchman Deulin, and the humorous American Mangles, with 
 his sister Joolz, the platform woman, are striking and amusing characters. Opens with 
 an account of Alexander II's assassination in 1881. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 — Barlasch of the Guard. 1903 
 
 Side-scenes of Napoleon's Russian campaign (1812) — the spy system that made Europe a 
 network of intrigue ; the plots of imigfis and Prussian nationalists ; adventures of private 
 soldiers, like Barlasch, the devoted, war-worn soldier of the Guard. Describes the gallant 
 defence of Dantzig by Rapp. [6s., Smith & Elder ; $1.50, P. McClure, New York.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 " Merriman, Henry Seton " (continued). — The Last Hope. 1904 
 
 story of a mythical son of the murdered Dauphin (Louis XVII) who is supposed to have 
 escaped from the Temple. The young man, mate of a small vessel, is sought out in his 
 humble home in a Suffolk fishing village, and made the pivot of a Royalist plot. The 
 one striking character is a certain Anglo-Parisian banker. Scenes, England and France 
 in 1849-50. f6s.. Smith & Elder.l 
 
 Tomaso's Fortune ; and other Stories. 1904 
 
 Nineteen in all, from many parts of the world ; originally magazine contributions — tense 
 little bits of drama, strong characters simply outlined and simple plots unfolded with 
 skilful handling of the climax. Tomaso's Fortune is a Balearic idyll ; The Mule takes us 
 under Spanish sierras ; Stranded presents a manly figure of an Atlantic captain who 
 makes the one mistake of his life and wrecks his boat ; Tiie Wanderini^ Jew is a terror- 
 striking glimpse of cholera in a remote station in India. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Montgomery, Florence [b. 1843]. Misunderstood. 1870 
 
 Probably the best of Miss Montgomery's long series of child-novels (written rather for older 
 people but mostly readable by children too) is this touching story, in which she studies 
 and criticizes the education of children in the case of two motherless boys neglected by 
 their father. One of the brothers, misunderstood by father and governess, grows lawless 
 in pure innocence, his innate nobleness leading him astray. [6s. ($1.75), Macmillan.l 
 
 Thrown Together. 1872

 An idyll made out of historical materials, i.e. the facts of the Kentish Rising in the reign of

 men of that age who were striving to enlighten and amend the lot of their fellows. [2s. n.

 First a story of the Goths in their tribal period (fourth century, a.d.), when they were fighting 
 the Romans. Scene, the Mark, a clearing in the great forests somewhere in the Danube 
 region. There is a mythic breadth about the conception of the story, and the prose style 
 is modelled on the severe, simple, and antique st5'le of the Sagas. It is the same with the 
 other story of the Goths. The Roots of the Mountains, which is laid in a subsequent age, the 
 epoch of village communities ; this has less of the primeval grandeur and more of the softer 
 
 j side of romanticism, [(i) 6s. (§2), Longman ; (2) 8s. ($2.50), Longman.]

 I'Time and place quite indefinite. A fanciful story, like most of those that follow, pouring

 longings for that " shadowj' isle of bliss," that golden era which he was striving toward 
 more practically in his Socialist preaching and artistic reforms. [5s. n. {$2), Longman.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Morris, William [continued). — News from Nowhere ; or, An Epoch of Rest : 
 Being some chapters from a Utopian Romance. 1891 
 
 Formulates the same gospel in clearer terms. A Socialist-artist's dream of the future, painting 
 in rich hues the dress, furniture, and all the accompaniments of everyday life as they 
 might be were commercialism destroyed and the love of art universal, [is. 6d. (60 c),

 The Wood Beyond the World. 1895 
 
 Pure romance as it might have been written by Malory, whose style Morris constantly echoes, 
 as he does the rambling scheme and glamorous incidents of the chivalric lays. The 
 wanderings and encounters of a young hero with beings of supernatural strength in a 
 wondrous unknown land. [6s. n. ($2.50), Longman.]

 The Sundering Flood. 1898 
 
 Similar romances, both posthumous. A delight in strangeness, in sensuous beauty, and a 
 luxuriant imagination, combined with a curious realism, are the salient traits of these 
 essays in mediasval romance. [7s. 6d. ($2.25), Longman.] 
 
 Murray, David Christie [1847-1907]. A Life's Atonement. 1880 
 
 A gloomy story, told partly as autobiography. The hero, on the point of seeing his ambition 
 fulfilled, being in difficulties with a money-lender and urged by necessity and luck, robs 
 a stranger, and by misadventure kills him. Thereupon begins his life's atonement : he 
 works as a dock labourer in London, and is not recognized as author of the crime till on his 
 death-bed. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Joseph's Coat. 1881 
 
 A young fellow is compelled by circumstances to leave his wife, whom he married secretly,

 Old Blazer's Hero. 1887 
 
 The characters and doings of a mine surveyor and his rival : Old Blazer is a mine. The hero 
 is one of those seemingly commonplace characters who on occasion rise to heights of 
 heroism ; the rival is a selfish, handsome, engaging scamp. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — A Dangerous Catspaw. 1889 
 
 The dire temptation that leads an impecunious young barrister into crime, a clever rascal's 
 nearly successful plot to secure him and his booty, and the counterplottings of a detective 
 share the interest with a quiet love-story. [6s., Longman : o.p.]

 Noel, Lady Augusta. Owen Gwynne's Great Work. 1875 
 
 The " great work " is a history on which a middle-aged scholar is engaged, urged on by his 
 ambitious wife ; and the sacrifices it entails make its accidental destruction by no means a 
 calamity. They are a pathetic pair of self-deceivers, and their son's character mingles fine 
 traits with an unamiable sternness. [6s., Macmillan : o.p.l 
 
 Oliphant, Margaret Oliphant [nee Wilson ; 1828-97]. Passages in the Life of

 An old-world picture of Scottish character and manners, much in the style of Gait, but more 
 refined and tender. The mystery and suspense attaching to Anne Ross's endeavours to 
 clear her brother's good name form a strong interest. Warmly praised by such a severe

 though the Young Chevalier is introduced. [3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., Blackwood.] 
 
 Salem Chapel. 1863 
 
 Mrs. Oliphant's Carlingford novels stand out, like TiroUope's Barchester series, high above 
 the very numerous and unequal tale of her books. This is the first of the set. Depicts a 
 Nonconformist " connection " in the little English town of Carlingford, where the hero, 
 a clever and ambitious student, has just arrived from college as minister. His advanced 
 views almost end in a schism, and the history of his struggle with the congregation is fertile 
 in comedy. Mixed up with this portion of the plot is a melodramatic story. Rich in 
 character-drawing — Tozer, the deacon, with his vulgarity and ignorance conjoined with 
 thorough manliness and liberality of mind ; the pettifogging trustees and their vulgar, 
 match-making womankind, intent on their social squabbles and jealousies ; and the 
 hero's mother, a character of a higher type. [With The Doctor's Family, 3s. 6d., 
 Blackwood.] 
 
 The Rector ; and the Doctor's Family. 1863 
 
 The Rector, a learned Oxford don, finds his new parish of Carlingford a sphere of life and duty 
 for which he is totally unfit ; and after various experiences, which to the reader are very 
 humorous, he gives up the living and returns to his college. The Doctor is a struggling 
 practitioner, on whose hands is unexpectedly thrown the care of his shiftless brother's 
 wife and family from Australia. He is filled with consternation ; but the wife's sister, a 
 stout-hearted girl, heroically bears the burden of their improvidence and selfishness. 
 The Doctor falls tumultuously in love with her, but she declines to abandon her self-imposed 
 duty. [With The Perpetual Curate, 3s. 6d., Blackwood.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Oliphant, Margaret Oliphant {continued). — ^The Perpetual Curate. 1864 
 
 More of the Carlingford people, characterization being always the main interest — the Curate 
 himself with his long and stubborn fight against circumstances, and the long-awaited 
 marriage which is, after all, but the commencement of new cares ; his brother, who 
 resigns a fat living to join the Roman Church ; their women-folk, especially the two maiden 
 aunts, the convert's silly little wife, and Mrs. Morgan, who suddenly realizes that she 
 has been dwelling in an ideal world, with an imaginary self and a too-perfect husband, 
 whereas the facts are humdrum and conventional, [v. The Rector, supra.] 
 
 Miss Marjoribanks. 1866 
 
 Miss Marjoribanks is the daughter of the hard-headed doctor of Carlingford, whom, on his 
 being left a widower, she thinks it is her duty to console. The doctor does not want to be 
 consoled, and her sentimental attempts are laughably frustrated. Still more fruitful in 
 comedy are her efforts to take the lead in Carlingford Society, and to raise the tone of 
 thought. This young lady ranks with the immortal Tozer as a living figure, to whose 
 creating sympathy and satire have gone in about equal proportions. The whole book is 
 alive with humour. [3s. 6d., Blackwood ; 20c., Munro, New York.] 
 
 — Phoebe, Junior : the Last Chronicle of Carlingford. 1876 
 A domestic story ; the fortunes of the younger Phoebe, a granddaughter of the inii^itable 
 
 Deacon Tozer, and daughter of a dissenting minister whom circumstances have raised 
 in the social scale. A pleasant character, frank and honest, bearing her superiority of 
 education and position with dignity and kindness, and a variety of minor characters, the 
 moneyed contractor and his loutish son, whom Phoebe tames and civilizes. Nonconformists 
 and Church-people, tradesmen and gentry, all depicted with kindly humour. [2s. 6d., 
 Hurst & Blackett.] 
 
 — Madonna Mary. 1866 
 A numerous gallery of female characters, drawn with quiet realism ; womankind of all ages, 
 
 married and single, lovable and the reverse, seen in a domestic milieu into which only one 
 or two not very masculine men are allowed to penetrate. Madonna Mary, quiet and dig- 
 nified, and her tearful and lackadaisical sister, are among the many contrasts afforded. 
 Deep affection between women, petulant jealousy developing with age into crabbed ill- 
 humour, a woman's unspoken love, the widow's schemes for her boys' futures, such are 
 the motives of the story. [2s., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 — The Minister's Wife. 1869 
 Landscapes and seascapes from the west of Scotland give colour to this story, and so do the 
 
 fervid, poetical nature of the dwellers in Lochshire, with the descriptions of the Revival 
 and of the simple religious emotions of the cottars. The focus of interest is Ailie, the 
 beautiful young religious enthusiast ; next come her lover, a rake turned preacher, and 
 Isabel, the minister's wife. Their troubles and sorrows give the story great pathos. 
 [Hurst & Blackett : o.p.] 
 
 — Ombra. 1872 
 
 Ombra is a shadowy creature of contradictions, bewitching, but jealous and ill-tempered, 
 now passionately sincere, now stooping to untruth ; her mother, however, is the striking 
 personality of the book, a subtle mixture of worldliness and goodness, affectionate yet 
 shrewdly reserved ; and Kate Courtenay, the one who attracts our sympathies, is a 
 beautiful, transparent soul, her very faults amiable. [2s., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 — Whiteladies. • 1875 
 Has a good deal of Mrs. Oliphant's fine humour. The staid and elderly ruler of Whiteladies, 
 
 Miss Susan, whose prudence is above suspicion, is almost involuntarily tempted to instigate 
 and abet a fraud in the interests of the family property, and her mingled feelings of remorse 
 and triumph produce a situation at once pathetic and humorous. [2s., Chattel 
 
 — The Story of Valentine and his Brother. 1875 
 A romantic story, compounded of the elements of character, with one profoundly moving scene 
 
 that brings into juxtaposition the extremes of human fate. The grandson of a Scottish 
 peer marries a gipsy vagrant, who vanishes with her twin sons, but after seven years 
 brings Valentine to the home of his kindred, and again disappears. Circumstances and 
 the mystic affinity of blood lead the two together, though unaware of their relationship. 
 [3s. 6d., Blackwood.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 Oliphant, Margaret Oliphant [continued). — At his Gates. 1872 
 
 A realistic story of City life, irnaricial swindling, and a bank failure. [2s., Tinsley: o.p.] 
 
 — — The Curate-in-Charge 1876 
 
 An idyll of English village life, with some engaging characters. The elderly curate-in-charge 
 is passed over in favour of a younger clergyman ; and his indignant daughter learns to 
 love the usurper. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Mrs. Arthur. 1877 
 
 A baronet's son marries a good-looking but vulgar and ignorant woman, whose shrewish temper 
 soon divides them utterly. But Mrs. Arthur now tries to improve herself, and manages 
 in the end to win back her husband and ingratiate herself with his family. [3 vols., 
 31S. 6d., Hurst & Blackett : o.p.] 
 
 A Beleaguered City : a Story of the Seen and the Unseen. 1878 
 
 One of her poetic romances of the spirit world. How the souls of the just came back to the 
 French town of Semur, and put the quick to flight. Brings the unseen world into contact 
 with the living and commonplace by Defoe-like strokes of realism and character-drawing. 
 There is much humour in the portrait of the Mayor, but as a whole the book is a solemn 
 vision, deeply pathetic, and inspired with devout faith. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 He that Will Not when he May. 1880 
 
 As claimant to an estate, the hero's good humour and honesty deserve success, while he 
 executes poetic justice on the perverse and capricious gentleman who is disinherited. 
 Some complications and mystery simply and easily unfolded. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 In Trust. 1882 
 
 Leading situation — an irreproachable young man of the world in love with a girl of rare 
 simplicity of character, and distracted by the fear of making an impecunious marriage or 
 of acting discreditably. [2s. 6d. (60c.), Longman.] 
 
 — A Little Pilgrim in the Unseen. 1882 
 
 A tale of the same imaginative origin as A Beleaguered City : how a simple-minded woman 
 awakes to the life beyond death. Sequel, The Land of Darkness. [2s. 6d., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 — The Ladies Lindores. 1883 
 
 A needy gentleman, succeeding to a Scottish peerage, would make his daughters' marriages 
 subserve his social ambitions. He gives the refined Lady Car to the wealthy boor Pat 
 Torrance ; but the younger daughter disappoints his scheme for winning a marquis, and 
 marries her lover. Rich in character (e.g. Old Rolls) ; pathos mingled with the brighter 
 qualities. [3 vols., 25s. 6d., Blackwood : o.p.] 
 
 — Lady Car [sequel]. 1889 
 
 The tragedy of Lady Car's wretched marriage is hardly alleviated, though her brutal husband 
 dies, and she weds her old lover; for the hero she had idealized has grown indolent in 
 middle age, and his lofty enthusiasms have flown, while she has the still bitterer sorrow of 
 watching the sou of Pat Torrance grow up as brutal as his father. [2s. 6d., Longman.] 
 
 — The Wizard's Son. 1884 
 
 Second sight and a haunted castle share interest with the character-drawing. A commonplace 
 young man succeeds to an old estate in Scotland, and thus ordinary modern life is brought 
 into touch with the uncanny. The mystery is explained after the manner of Mrs. Radcliffe. 
 The touching sketch of a mother striving with adversity and disappointment is not 
 without a personal reference to the authoress. The Crofter question comes in.' [3s. 6d., 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 — Sir Tom. 1884 
 
 Sequel to The Greatest Heiress in England. A characteristic portrayal of a gentleman, rather 
 a stupid man, but full of good nature. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Oliphant, Margaret Oliphant {continued). — Joyce. 1888 
 
 A romance like Valentine ; the heroine, brought up by peasants, turns out to be the child of 
 rich parents. Her hesitation between a high-born and a low-bom lover, and her peasant's 
 scorn for the elaborate formality of genteel life, make a humorous story. The most 
 satirical among the character-sketches is that of an Anghcan clergyman and his " female 
 accomplice." [3s. 6d., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 The Land of Darkness. 1888 
 
 A pendant to her Little Pilgrim. Her conception of Hell — a place of horror and torment, but 
 not utterly hopeless, since faith and resolution can find a way of escape. Contains also 
 On the Dark Mountains and a sequel to the Little Pilgrim. [5s., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 — Neighbours on the Green. 1889 
 
 Dinglefield Green is an aristocratic Cranford, inhabited by a little colony whose several stories 
 are told here. Lady Denzil is the pathetic story of the most amiable and dignified of these 
 characters. My Neighbour Nelly is lighter in theme, and The Stockbroker at Dinglewood, 
 though sad in its ending, is mainly a comedy. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 — The Railway Man and his Children. 1891 
 
 A millionaire, risen from the ranks, generous, open-handed, loyal ; his youthful wife, a cultured 
 woman whom he wins late in life ; his bourgeois children, offspring of an earlier marriage ; 
 and other persons rich in idiosyncrasy, are the principals in the story. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 — The Cuckoo in the Nest. 1892 
 
 A baronet's half-imbecUe son marries an inn-keeper's daughter ; he soon dies, but the young 
 woman ingratiates herself with the baronet, and at his death finds herself in possession of 
 the whole estate, to the horror of the local gentry and the dismay of the family. She puts 
 herself right, in the end, by an act of magnanimity. The writer's sympathies are with the 
 heroine, who is no Becky Sharp, but a shrewd, self-reliant, and not ungenerous girl ; 
 and her invasion of genteel society evokes extremely comic scenes. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.] 
 
 — Old Mr. Tredgold : a Story of Two Sisters. 1896 
 
 A selfish, vulgar, and sordid old man is Mr. Tredgold, and these unpleasant attributes are 
 inherited by one daughter, while the other, a better woman, suffers the reverses of fortune. 
 Characters drawn just as they are, without alleviation or satire, and with no undue regard 
 for poetic justice. [2s. 6d. (I1.50), Longman.] 
 
 OuiDA " [Mdlle. Marie Louise de la Ramee ; 1839-1908]. Strathmore. 1865 
 
 Ouida's novels, it has been well said, " suggest a schoolgirl's dream of the grande passion.'' 
 They portray not real Ufe, but an inexperienced, imaginative, and emotional young lady's 
 idea of what life ought to be. Ouida's feeling for beauty, her tenderness and sympathy 
 for the poor and distressed, are so engaging, and her revelation of the feminine heart is so 
 interesting, that a few of her novels can be read in spite of their glaring faults. In Strath- 
 more the cold-hearted, gifted, and immensely strong hero falls, at last, a victim to the 
 charms of an unscrupulous beauty, to whom he sacrifices everything, and in a fit of mis- 
 guided jealousy kills his bosom friend in a duel. The rest of the novel is taken up with his 
 immeasurable revenge on the woman, who in the end unexpectedly changes her evil 
 nature and forgives Strathmore. In the descriptions and amorous scenes the writer gives 
 full rein to her sensuous imagination. 
 
 — - Chandos. ' 1866 
 
 A garish and gushing romance, with, as hero, a glorified libertine, who is Ukened to Goethe 
 
 " because the list of his loves is long." This dazzling creation keeps a harem in Park 
 
 _ Lane, and is constantly in pursuit of his ideal, embodied in miscellaneous women, other 
 
 ' men's wives as a rule. The story is decorated throughout with luxurious upholstery, 
 
 gorgeous millinery, magnificent language and cookery. 
 
 Under Two Flags. 1867 
 
 The author's best novel, good in spite of the florid extravagance of her descriptions and the 
 unreality of the world depicted. The numerous episodes of exciting action, fox-hunts in 
 the shires, battles of French and Kabyles in Algeria, are well described, and the book is 
 full of imagination of an oriental kind. The characters are all idealizations of good or bad, 
 
 146 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 and stand out well. The hero is a handsome, aristocratic guardsman of superhuman 
 virtues and vices (it is hard to say which are regarded with more complacency by his 
 creator). His lodgings in Piccadilly surpass oriental Courts in luxury and magnificence. 
 Men adore him, women pet him, his riotous living never impairs his dare-devil courage 
 or his superb physique, etc. The next best character is an " unsexed" but heroic little 
 French vivandiire. 
 
 "Ouida" {continued). — ^Tricotrin. 1868 
 
 Tricotrin is an agnostic and a Bohemian ; but his virtues are near perfection : he is handsome, 
 an accomplished artist, learned, wise. The heroine is a castaway, whom he rescues from 
 poverty. A main motive of a sentimental story is Tricotrin's self-abnegation in keeping 
 his love unspoken. 
 
 Puck. 1870 
 
 . The autobiography of a lapdog born in low society, and passing through various stations of 
 life, which he describes in Ouidaesque language. 
 
 A Dog of Flanders ; and other Stories. 1872 
 
 Also tells the story of a dog, whose fortitude and affection are scathingly contrasted with 
 the cruelty and meanness of the human beings who maltreat him as a poor beast of burden. 
 Belgium and France are the scenes of these tales. The Branch of Lilac culminates in the 
 fighting of the Communists and Versaillists in Paris. 
 
 Pascarel. 1873 
 
 Highly coloured descriptions of Florence and other historic Italian cities and lovely landscapes. 
 Pascarel is a born actor, and a son of the people, who plays to simple villagers and shuns 
 the applause of cities. His love is an innocent waif, and a cardinal incident turns on 
 the jealousy of her and her mistress. As usual, many " improper " people figure among 
 the characters. 
 
 Two Little Wooden Shoes. 1874 
 
 An innocent little Brabant girl is petted by a rich painter, who leaves her to her peasant 
 lover ; but, hearing he is sick, she walks to Paris to offer succour and love, and finding him 
 sunk in debauchery, flies home and dies. 
 
 Signa. 1875. 
 
 Signa is a foster-child of nature, a lad with a genius for art and music, in whose mind bold and 
 striking thoughts on life and God are instinctive. Luxuriantly descriptive of the beautiful 
 mountains and forests of the sub-Alpine region, and of the ancient monasteries and 
 strongholds of Italy. 
 
 Ariadne. 1877 
 
 Another child of nature, innocent, impulsive, passionate, is depicted as a born sculptor. 
 Her perilous camaraderie with artists and connoisseurs introduces voluminous talk about 
 art and the ancients (full of characteristic inaccuracies) . 
 
 Moths. 1880. 
 
 As typical as any of Ouida's gushing ignorance of life and rhapsodical passion for romance. 
 The love of an ignorant young lady for a great singer, told entirely from the girl's point of" 
 view. 
 
 A Village Commune. i88r 
 
 Describes a modern Italian village under the so-called regime of Liberty. In reality, a poUtical 
 adventurer rules the community as an irresponsible autocrat, grinding the poor with im- 
 positions, rooting out every cherished custom or survival, and utilizing public pretexts 
 to serve his own ends. 
 
 — In Maremma. 1882 
 
 Musa, the daughter of a ferocious brigand, is another of these children of nature, who makes a 
 solitary home in an Etruscan tomb, amid the wilds of Maremma. Her intercourse with 
 other human beings only leads to treachery, robbery, and martyrdom

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Ouida" (continued). — ^The Waters of Edera. 1900 
 
 Pictures the squalid inhabitants of an Italian district, and denounces the corruption and 
 tyranny of the Government. Tells how a primitive and pagan lord of the soil fights a 
 hopeless battle against a foreign company representing civilization and industrialism. 
 
 [Ea. 3s. 5d., 2s., Chatto ; 75c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.]

 Pater, Walter [1839-94]. Marius the Epicurean, his Sensations and Ideas. 
 
 1885 
 
 History of the mental and moral growth of a Roman thinker, friend of Galen and Marcus 
 Aurelius. The book consists chiefly of meditations, philosophical disquisitions, and 
 reviews of the great schools of thinkers, criticisms of personalities, such as that of the 
 imperial philosopher, and of the social and moral phenomena of the times ; all set forth 
 in a refined, meditative prose. From Cyrenaicism the philosopher gradually works his 
 way to a more spiritual attitude, coming under the influence of the Christian Church, 
 of which an impassioned picture is given ; and he dies a kind of martyr, though not formally 
 received within the Christian communion. There are many pages delineating the outward 
 life and manners of contemporary Rome. [2 vols., 15a. n. (I4 n.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Imaginary Portraits. 1887 
 
 A Prince of Court Painters ; Sebastian von Storck ; Denys I'Auxerrois ; and Duke Carl oj Rosen- 
 mold — essays in fictitious biography, with no dramatic play, but a most delicate interpreta- 
 tion of character and environment. Watteau is the central figure in the first ; the others 
 are fanciful creations in which philosophical influences, like that of Spinoza, and artistic 
 susceptibilities are portrayed against a vague historical background. [6s., Macmillan.] 
 
 — Miscellaneous Studies. 1895 
 
 A posthumous collection of essays containing two similar pieces of biographical fantasy, 
 Apollo in Picardy and Emerald Uihwart, the latter embodying reminiscences of his own 
 boyhood aad education at Canterbury. [7s. 6d. n. ($2 n.), Macmillan.] 
 
 — Gaston de Latour : an unfinished romance. 1896 
 
 A similar philosophical romance, tracing the development of a refined and cultivated mind 
 that finds ultimate satisfaction in the things of the spirit. The period is that of the French 
 wars of religion in the sixteenth century, and the Massacre of St. Bartholomew (1572) is an 
 incident, while Ronsard and Montaigne make their appearance. There are also placid 
 and idyllic pictures of country life in La Beauce, and elaborate descriptions of Chartres 
 Cathedral — written in the same dehcate, meandering style. [7s. 6d. n. {$2 n.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Pentreath, Dolly. In a Cornish Township. 1893 
 
 Recollections of a parish clerk (supposed to have been written in 1818), in modem dialect. 
 Sketches of old-world characters, tales of smuggling, and humorous adventures. [7s. 6d., 
 Unwin : o.p.] 
 
 Poynter, Eleanor Frances. My Little Lady. 1870 
 
 Madelon is the daughter of a professional gambler, an innocent girl surrounded by corruption. 
 Her character and inner life and the character of the gambler are described, and the story 
 tells of her helplessness and troubles after her father's death, the pathos of her convent life, 
 and her yearnings for freedom. Spa, Li^ge, and Cornwall are the scenes. [5s., Hurst & 
 Blackett.] 
 
 Proctor, Richard A. Watched by the Dead. 1887

 Idyllic phases of Welsh life in a seaside village, combined with melodramatic episodes in 
 London. A shepherd-girl develops into a popular contralto. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.] 
 
 Torn Sails. 1898 
 
 A sentimental idyll, the central incident tragic, but the end happy. The actors are Welsh 
 peasants, working in a little sail-factory in a seaside hamlet of Cardiganshire. Native 
 superstitions, pretty customs and ways of speech, and the storms and sunshine of the 
 coast, give the atmosphere. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.]

 Gives idyllic pictures of the same people, with some little humour, and melodramatic business 
 
 involving persons of a higher class. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.]

 The heroine is a waif saved from a shipwreck through the warning of a wraith. Her life with a

 Nonconformist Welsh folk in general. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.]

 taker, New York.] 
 
 Russell, William Clark [1844-1911]. John Holdsworth, Chief Mate. 1875 
 
 This and the two following are perhaps the three best of a long succession of nautical novels, 
 in which extraordinary adventures and plot interest take the place of the rich character- 
 drawing and humours of Smollett, Marryat, and Michael Scott. Here we have a variation 
 of the Enoch Arden story, the husband losing his memory through shipwreck and exposure 
 in an open boat. The interloper dies, and the couple are reunited, but the story remains 
 sufficiently harrowing. [3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., Low.] 
 
 The Wreck of the " Grosvenor." 1876 
 
 May be taken as the type of Clark Russell's narratives, which mingle realistic pictures of life 
 on board and of the storms and beauty of the ocean, with ultra-romantic adventures. 
 This is an exciting story of a mutiny sind its consequences, with the usual love-plot.

 An earnest story, aiming at moral edification, and belonging to the more unambitious class of 
 domestic fiction, a girl coming between two lovers furnishing the text. [3 vols., Beutley : 
 o.p.] 
 
 The Love Story of Margaret Wynne. 1899 
 
 Margaret loyally believes in Bayard's truth and innocence, in spite of accusations and appear- 
 ances ; and she is justified in the end. [6s., White: o.p. ; $1, Rand, M'Nally, Chicago.] 
 
 The Common Lot. 1899 
 
 Typical of this prolific author ; quiet domestic memoirs, chiefly feminine in interest, saturated 
 with pious belief in a poetic justice enforced by Providence. How a strong, good-natured 
 girl forsakes her ambitions and accepts the common lot, maintaining a family of ill- 
 conditioned and ungrateful relatives, and being rewarded in the end by the love of a 
 worthy man. r3S. 6d., Melrose.] 
 
 Blake of Oriel. 1899 
 
 The story of a university don, outwardly a cultured scholar and polished gentleman, but 
 really a cad and a thief; who is successful in his evil practices to the last,'not being found 
 out till after his death. [6s., White : o.p.] 
 
 The Conscience of Gilbert Pollard. 1900 
 
 An average specimen of the author's sentimental treatment of life. The plot hangs on an 
 understanding, omitted in his father's will, that Gilbert should give his scapegrace brother 
 a considerable share of the old man's money. Gilbert justifies himself in refusing to do 
 so. [6s., Hodder.] 
 
 Sharp, William [" Fiona Macleod " ; 1856-1905]. Pharais : a Romance of the Isles. 
 
 1894 
 
 " Fiona Macleod " was a clear case of dual personality. Sharp's work under this name — so 
 much more than a name to him that he said, Fiona dies if the secret is found out— 
 differs entirely from the work he acknowledged. These are romances and visionary stories 
 of the Western Isles, where he spent his boyhood, saturated with mysticism and Celtic 
 faerydom, the style a sort of rhapsody that oft-times attains rare beauty, the beauty of 
 " natural magic," though its monotony must be admitted, like the absence' of humour 
 and of any lightness of touch. This is a wistful little domestic drama, composed of the 
 simplest and homeliest elements, spiritualized by the author's poetic vision, and by the 
 grandeur of the stage amidst the .storms and sunsets of the Hebrides.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Sharp, William (continued). — The Mountain Lovers. 1895 
 
 A tragic pastoral of the Highlands that might belong to present or past, but is imbued with the 
 mysticism of long ago. The actors are akin to the shadowy creations of ancient legend ; 
 the significance of the action is spiritual and ssonbohcal. 
 
 The Sin-Eater, The Washer of the Ford, and other Legendary Moralities. 
 
 1895-6 
 
 Collections of Hebridean lore and old Celtic legends. The latter belong to the time when 
 Christianity was struggling with Druidism. The characters shadowy and lacking in 
 human interest. Muime Chriosd is an Irish legend of St. Bridget, the foster-mother of 
 Christ, and the Celtic elements mingle quaintly with the Gospel story. 
 
 Green Fire. 1896 
 
 A vague and tenuous story, a sort of Tristan legend of a Breton lady and the son of a Scottish 
 chief. Dreamy descriptions of Brittany, the sea, and the Hebrides ; mystic visions, 
 fears, and monitions creating an atmosphere of witching melancholy. 
 
 The Laughter of Peterkin : a Retelling of Old Tales from the Wonder 
 
 World. 1897 
 
 Peterkin is a somewhat superfluous " wonder-child," whose laughter is interjected into tragic 
 episodes from old Celtic legend. The Four Swans, The Fate of the Three Sons of Ttirenn, etc. 
 
 Silence Farm. 1899 
 
 A gloomy, realistic story of life on a farm, ending in tragedy. Published under his own name. 
 
 The Dominion of Dreams ; Under the Dark Star. 1899 
 
 Some thirty chapters or "dreams " mingling Celtic fantasy and real life. The White Heron 
 relates the earlier story of a character in Pharais. 
 
 The Divine Adventure ; lona ; Studies in Spiritual History. 1900 
 
 The first is a fable or allegory in the traditionary Celtic manner. The Soul, the Will, and the 
 Body go on pilgrimage towards the Hills of Dream, symbolizing man's quest for a solution 
 of the mysteries of life and death, dissolution and etemit}'. lona is an essay on the place 
 of lona in Celtic tradition.

 Shorthouse, Joseph Henry [1834-1903]. John Inglesant. 1881 
 
 The spiritual biography of a very rare spirit who was a servant of Charles I, and afterwards 
 acts as go-between to the Anghcan and Romanist ecclesiastical parties. Historical events 
 are subordinate, however, to the subjective narrative. In Mr. Ferrar's house at Little 
 Gidding, among the Quietists, Inglesant becomes acquainted with the mysticism that 
 was a common philosophy to certain Romanists and Anghcans ; and on the exposition 
 of this doctrine, which reproduced itself in the Tractarian movement of our own times, 
 the author concentrates his eloquence. Many great men appear, and the manners, the 
 thought, and the religious feeling of the period in England and Italy are rendered with 
 studious accuracy and deep sympathy. Such episodes as the election of a Pope and the 
 plague at Naples are, as it were, careful historical monographs vivified by imagination.

NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 Shorthouse, Joseph Henry (continued). — The Countess Eve. 1888 
 
 A spiritual romance, in which the Evil One, who comes on the scene, is foiled in his attempt 
 to seduce two human beings : a study of human infirmity and proneness to temptation. 
 Many pages of descriptive rhapsody of the beautiful mountains, forests, and lakes of 
 Burgundy and the Jura. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 A Teacher of the VioHn ; and other Tales. 1888 
 
 Short stories treating similar themes of spiritual aspiration, refined ideals of conduct, and the 
 ennobling influences of the chivalrous past. The title-story is about a music-loving boy in 
 Germany (1787) and his communings with Nature. Of the four others, the Marquis de 
 St. Pelaye is most characteristic. [3s. 6d. ($1), Macmillan.] 
 
 Blanche, Lady Falaise. 1891 
 
 A mystical, dreamy novel, largely a vehicle for the discussion of religious and moral ideas. 
 Lady Falaise is a Socialistic dreamer, whose very love rests on her ideals of social ameliora- 
 tion, and whose practical conduct is, in consequence, often wrong-headed and mischievous. 
 [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Skelton, Sir John [1831-97]. Queen Mary's Holdfast. 1896 
 
 In Summers and Winters at Balmamhapple, vol. i. A study of Patrick, Master of Gray, 
 a traitor to Queen Mary of Scotland ; highly praised by Froude. Explores a little by- 
 path of history with learning and imagination. The same volume contains some other 
 essays in Scottish fiction. [Table Talk of Shirley, 2 vols., los. n., Blackwood : o.p.] 
 
 Stevenson, Robert Louis Balfour [1850-94]. The New Arabian Nights. 1882 
 
 The fantastic adventures of a modern Haroun-al-Raschid in London, handled realistically and 
 placed in a modem and familiar environment. The Suicide Club is a fantasy on some- 
 what similar lines to De Quincey's Murder as one of the Fine Arts, combining m3'stery 
 and terror with this familiarity of surroundings. All are more or less sensational, sensation 
 of a semi-burlesque and ironical kind. One of the best known. The Rajah's Diamond, 
 has a daring plot stringing together most heterogeneous scene-s and characters, the coveted 
 gem being a potent incentive to elaborate villainy and crime. In Stevenson's novels and 
 stories, pure romance is made infinitely more effective than the conventional kind by 
 means of his dexterous technique, his command of verisimilitude, and insight into the 
 psychology of the reader. [2s. n., Chatto ; $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Treasure Island. [juvenile] 1883 
 
 A masterpiece among romances for boys, but not less admirable for the higher qualities of 
 dramatic art. A story of piracy and concealed treasure in the middle of the eighteenth 
 century ; the characters nearly all of a sinister kind : Pew, Black Dog, and Long John 
 Silver are a villainous trio, strongly individualized, shedding an atmosphere of maUgnancy 
 and terror. The scenery of isle and ocean contrasts vividly with the savagery of the 
 action. [Illustrated by Wal Paget, 6s., 3s. 6d., Cassell ; $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Silverado Squatters. 1883 
 
 Substantially the story of Stevenson's honeymoon, at Juan Silverado, amid the mountains 
 and forests of California ; buoyant and humorous in tone, and abounding in impressionist 
 descriptions of Nature. [6s., Chatto; with others, .sub tit. The Amateur Emigrant, $1, 
 Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Prince Otto. 1885 
 
 Stevensonian in its fine, clear style; Meredithian in its psychology. Scene, an imaginary 
 German principality ; motive, the growth, under the stress of untoward events, of a true 
 and intelligent affection between husband and wife. The atmosphere of Court intrigue 
 and the subtle play of character among courtiers are well portrayed ; the Chancellor, the 
 private counsellor, the crabbed Enghsh Ambassador, the ladies of the Court, etc., offering 
 dramatic contrasts. Nature is described, not so much for its own sake, as for its influence 
 on Otto's states of mind. [6s., Chatto ; $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. 1886 
 
 A grim apologue of a supernatural change of personality, symbolizing the conflict between the 
 good and the evil selves in man. [With Other Fables, 3s. 6d., Longman ; with The 
 Merry Men, ?i, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 153 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Stevenson, Robert Louis Balfour [continued). — David Balfour: vol. i. Kidnapped ; 
 vol. ii. Catriona. 1886 ; 1892 
 
 Kidnapped is a match for Treasure Island as pure romance, strenuous deeds, thrilling en- 
 counters, hairbreadth escapes occurring on almost every page. The romantic scenery of 
 the western seaboard and the Grampians makes a fit environment. Alan Breck, the 
 supposed Appin murderer (1751), is perhaps the finest of Stevenson's creations. But 
 there is more characterization in Catriona, which is his chief success in drawing a woman, 
 and love interest is an important element. The social and political condition of Scotland 
 in the period succeeding the '45, and the persecution, military and legal, of the beaten 
 side, are well depicted in the two stories, which cover the years 1746—51. [Illustrated by 
 W. Hole.'ea. 6s., 3s. 6d., Cassell ; $1.50, not ill. %i, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Merry Meii ; and other Tales and Fables. 1887 
 
 A galaxy of masterpieces in the art of short-story writing : the first is a weird tale of the 
 Western Isles, a treasure from the Armada, an awful wreck, and a man's remorse driving 
 him to his death ; the whole invested with a magical atmosphere of hoary legend and 
 the scenery of ocean, mountain, and storm. Will 0' the Mill is an exquisite fable of human 
 life, with Alpine valley scenery ; Thrawn Janet, a blood-curdling ghost story in a Scottish 
 village ; Markheim, a sombre murder-story, and The Treasure of Franchard are two 
 masterly embodiments of Stevenson's philosophy of life ; Olalla, a tragic love-story of 
 Spain. [6s., 2s. n., Chatto ; with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, %i, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Black Arrow. 1888 
 
 Intended for young readers. A Yorkist story of the Wars of the Roses. The characters are 
 outlaws, barons, men-at-arms, and priests ; Richard III is prominent. The language 
 is to some extent based on that of the Paston Letters. [Illustrated by H. W. Paget, 6s., 
 3s. 6d., Cassell ; $1.25, not ill. $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Master of Ballantrae. 1889 
 
 The tragic downfall of a noble Scottish family involved in the Jacobite troubles (1745-64), 
 recounted by a faithful steward. Two brothers are the protagonists : the elder, a man of 
 fascinating exterior but cruel heart, the younger, a plain, long-suffering man. These, 
 with the old lord, their young kinswoman, and a showy French adventurer, make a 
 group of the exceptional personalities that Stevenson loved to sketch. In one scene, 
 the midnight duel, he achieved his masterpiece of dramatic effect. Mackellar the steward 
 is a thoroughly Stevensonian blend of moral courage with physical cowardice. [Illustrated 
 by W. Hole, 6s., 3s. 6d., Cas.sell ; $1.50, not ill. $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Island Nights' Entertainments. 1893 
 
 The Beach of Falesd, The Bottle Imp, and The Isle of Voices are stories of the South Seas into 
 
 which Stevenson infused much of the eeriness and mystery that characterizes such Scotch 
 tales as The Merry Men and Thrawn Janet. In the first a rough and unlearned trader 
 is the story-teller, whose nautical slang and colloquialisms are woven into a forcible and 
 expressive prose. On the lonely beach of a forest-clad isle, he is the mark of a rival trader's 
 diaboUcal plot, the superstitions of the natives being excited so that he is tabooed and 
 nearly frightened to death. The charm of the tale is the enthraUing atmosphere of glamour 
 and dread. Life and Nature in the Pacific are described with the familiar realism of one 
 who has hved there. The Bottle Imp is a fairy-story, an adaptation of a German folk-tale 
 to the people and surroundings of the South Seas. [Illustrated by Gordon Browne & 
 W. Hatherell, 6s., 3s. 6d., Cassell ; $1.25, no't ill. %i, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Weir of Hermiston. 1896 
 
 An impressive fragment of a tragedy, on the motive of deep antipathy between father and son. 
 The father is a study of the hanging judge Lord Braxfield, the son represents the dawning 
 age of reason and mercy. The son's pathetic love-story was only begun when the pen 
 fell from Stevenson's hand. Outhnes a remarkable group of tragic personalities, hard, 
 strong-natured Scotch folk. Old Edinburgh and the dun moorlands haunted by memories 
 of martyred Cameronians form the austere background. Period 1813-4. [6s., Chatto ; 
 51, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 St. Ives. 1897 
 
 A posthumous romance, finished by " Q." Stevenson called it " A mere tissue of adventures." 
 
 An essay in picaresque fiction, reciting the experiences of a French prisoner of war in 
 
 154 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, LAST QUARTER 
 
 Edinburgh Castle, and his adventures after escaping. St. Ives is the only gentleman 
 among the prisoners, and suffers much in his dignity. [6s., 2s. n., Heinemann ; §t, 
 Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Stevenson, Robert Louis Balfour, and Fanny van der Grift Stevenson. The 
 Dynamiter. 1885 
 
 In the style of the New Arabian Nights. Mrs. Stevenson claims to have written all the stories 
 except the Explosive Bomb ; but unmistakable traces of Stevenson's handiwork and of his 
 characteristic philosophy abound. [3s. 6d., Longman ; $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Stevenson, Robert Louis Balfour, and Lloyd Osboume [b. 1868]. The Wrong Box. 
 
 1889 
 
 An absurd and engrossing extravagance ; the rival plotting of the heirs to two old men, 
 survivors of a Tontine scheme. The frantic endeavours of various people to get rid of a 
 corpse, supposed to be one of these valuable old men, lead to surprising results. These 
 farcical complications were the work chiefly of Mr. Osboume, who is responsible also for 
 the more sordid and horrible features of the next two stories. [3s. 6d., Longman; ?i, 
 Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Wrecker. 1892 
 
 Parisian student life, shady financial doings in California, piracy on the high seas, and 
 more gruesome incidents, brought into juxtaposition by an elaborate mystery plot. 
 A skilfvil combination of romance and everyday realism. [Illustrated by W. Hole and 
 W. L. Metcalf, 6s., 3s. 6d., Cassell ; I1.50, not ill. $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Ebb Tide : a Trio and Quartette. 1894 
 
 A similar blend, the daring plot depending on thoroughgoing realism. The adventures in the 
 Tahitian seas are so conceived and told as to bring out impressively the vast contrast 
 between the men and their lovely surroundings. [6s., Heinemann ; $1, Scribner, New 
 York.] 
 
 "Stretton, Hesba" [Hannah Smith; d. 1911]. Through a Needle's Eye. 1878 
 
 A fair example of this writer's unpretentious but carefully wrought didactic fiction. A man 
 does wrong in order to become owner and master of the family estate. He repents and 
 makes due reparation, but his much-loved daughter suffers for his misdeeds. The various 
 characters of a village, the Methodist preacher,- the curate and his worldly wife, and 
 some humbler people, are clearly drawn. [6s., Paul, o.p. ; $1, Dodd & Mead, New 
 York.] 
 
 Swinburne, Algernon Charles [1837-1909]. Love's Cross-currents: a Year's 
 Letters. 1905 
 
 The reprint of a novel in letters, published years earlier in a newspaper. A characteristic 
 revelation of the poet's mind, in characteristic prose. Displays his remarkable powers of 
 sarcasm, and is a finished example of the finest epistolary style, the story interest alto- 
 gether secondary. [6s. n., Chatto.] 
 
 Thomas, Bertha. The Violin Player. 1880 
 
 studies of the artistic temperament in a musician, a sculptor, various connoisseurs, and others. 
 [2s., Chatto : o.p.] 
 
 In a Cathedral City. 1882 
 
 A gifted tenor, spoiled by success, is the principal character ; the next is a pretty woman 
 whom he woos, but who, in the end, is united to a humbler but a worthier man. [3s. 6d., 
 Chatto.] 
 
 The Son of the House. 1900 
 
 A domestic story. The son is a Christian Socialist, and his purse-proud mother manages to 
 incarcerate him in a lunatic asylum. This unscrupulous lady, the gay, loose-principled 
 brother, the inconstant girl loved by both brothers, and the evergreen doctor who acts as 
 rescuer, are the salient characters. [6s., Chatto.] 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 TiREBUCK, William Edwards [d. 1900]. Sweetheart Gwen : a Welsh Idyll. 1893 
 
 Welsh country life as seen by boyish eyes, and a boy's love for a pretty, grown-up girl, his 
 cousin. [6s., Longman : o.p.l 
 
 Miss Grace of All Souls'. 1895 
 
 Life in a small coal-mining town, apparently in Lancashire ; the soul-crushing toil, the horrors 
 of want, the strong affections and pathos of family life. The daughter of the worldlj' and 
 compromising vicar is the heroine of a strike ; and the struggle between her ideals and 
 love for her weak-kneed father are pathetically described. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 " Tytler, Sarah " [Henrietta Keddie ; b. 1827]. Citoyenne Jacqueline. 1865 
 
 A woman's lot in the Revolution ; a touching domestic story. Paris, the Luxembourg ; 
 Charlotte Corday, etc. (1792-3). [2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — ' — The Huguenot Family in the English Village. [juvenile] 1867 
 
 [2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Sisters and Wives. 1871 
 
 Three stories, the connection one of character ; studies of temperament and of conduct. 
 The first relates to a love affair between a worthy couple, one of whom hides his real 
 affection under a cloak of censure. In the second, an unintellectual woman, who aspires 
 to gentility, is united to a worthy but underbred man, who is much her superior in educa- 
 tion. [Smith & Elder : o.p.] 
 
 What She Came Through. 1877 
 
 Lover and heroine, servants on a farm, really belong to a superior rank in life, and the ignorance 
 of each as to the other's antecedents gives peculiar opportunities for the play of character. 
 Describes farming and country life in considerable detail. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Scotch Marriages. 1882 
 
 A series of tales chiefly of unequal marriages, e.g. Lady Peggy, a Fifeshire tale of a fine old 
 aristocrat and her low-bom daughter-in-law, probably founded on fact ; Hamesucken, a 
 more tragic tale ; and Harry Balfour's Experiences, a weirdly comic story of a Scotch 
 judge. [Smith & Elder : o.p.] 
 
 St. Mungo's City. 1885 
 
 Appreciative portraiture of Glasgow people, very racy and rich in local colour. A variety 
 of characters, comic and pathetic — the poor, proud Mackinnon sisters, old-fashioned 
 gentlewomen ; sweet-natured Eppie Drysdale ; the self-made business man, Auld Tarn, 
 etc. [2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Logic Town. 1887 
 
 An old-fashioned Scottish township, full of characters humorously depicted. Brings out the 
 mingled simplicity and self-importance of the Scot, the intimate association of classes, the 
 powerful ties of kindred. [3s. 6d., Ward & Downey : o.p.] 
 
 The Macdonald Lass : a Study from Last Century. 1895 
 
 A careful and affectionate retelhng of Flora Macdonald's heroic rescue of Prince Charlie after 
 CuUoden {1746). [3s. 6d., Chatto.]

 A gloomy story of the grim old -days of witch-burning late in the seventeenth century ; only 
 too faithful to what we know of the times. [3s. 6d., Chatto.]

 A study of manners and Society in Edinburgh late in the eighteenth century. [6s., Jarrold.]

 tion. [6s., Long.] 
 
 A Young Dragon. 1900 
 
 Country life on the moorlands, near the English Border, delineated with little incident and 
 quiet, truthful characterization. A masterful old bachelor is dared into a wager that he 
 will win a wife. He marries a simple-hearted, unselfish woman, who is shocked to discover 
 the motive of his wooing. [3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Rival Claimants. 1901

 Fairy stories after Andersen and other fabulists, heavily charged with Wilde's passion for the 
 
 beautiful, and by no means free from his habitual cynicism. The Nightingale and the 
 
 Rose exemplifies the first, and The Remarkable Rocket the latter quality. [3s. 6d. n., 
 
 Nutt.] 
 
 The Picture of Dorian Gray. 1891 
 
 A terrible commentary on Wilde's own pagan theory of life, the pursuit of sensuous and 
 intellectual delight with no acceptance of moral responsibility. The plot is a counterpart 
 to that of Balzac's Peau de Chagrin, a portrait growing old and hideous while the sensualist 
 preserves his youthful beauty. Sparkles with Wilde's paradoxical epigrams. [6s. n.. 
 Ward & Lock.] 
 
 Lord Arthur Savile's Crime ; The Portrait of Mr. W. H. ; and other Stories. 
 
 1891 
 Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, The Canterville Ghost, The Sphinx Without a Secret, and The Model 
 Millionaire {1887), The Portrait of Mr. W. H. (1889). Charming effusions of fantasy, 
 admirable in technique. [5s. u., Methuen.] 
 
 A House of Pomegranates. 1892 
 
 Another collection of fantastic stories which the author said was " intended neither for the

 The Snowcroft Critics 1898 
 
 Two collections of brief stories and sketches, largely in the Lancashire dialect. The characters 
 are factory-workers and others in a village, and most of them Methodists. Homely 
 humour and homely pathos, racy genre-painting and character-drawing. [Each 3s. 6d.,

 largely in north-country dialect. [6s., H. Marshall.] 
 
 The Coming of the Preachers. igoi 
 
 The coming of Methodism into the coarse unspiritual life of a north-country village, the per- 
 secution it meets with, and the growth of religion among the better minds in response to 
 John and Charles Wesley's preaching. [6s., Hodder.]

 Adcock, Arthur St. John [b. 1864]. East End Idylls. 1897 
 
 — — In the Image of God. 1898 
 
 Two series of stories carefully presenting the life of the very poor in London, with little 
 heightening for literary effect, and not so monotonously gruesome as such realistic studies 
 often are: the cockney speech faithfully rendered, [(i) 3s. 6d., Bowden, o.p.; ?i.25,

 In the Wake of the War. 
 
 1900 
 
 The home results of a war abroad, the sufferings of families deprived of their supporters and of 
 mourners for the fallen ; chiefly pathetic, but some of the tales have a mild dash of satire. 
 [2S. 6d., Hodder.] 
 
 — The Luck of Private Foster. 1900 
 
 A romance of the great Boer War ; the hero enlists, leaving his girl behind him, and meets

 Adderley, The Hon. and Rev. James Granville [b. 1861]. Stephen Remarx : the 
 Story of a Venture in Ethics. 1893 
 
 A miniature story of a clergyman who preaches Socialism and humanitarianism and tries to 
 establish a practical brotherhood; with a longer story very similar in aim. [35. 6d., is., 
 Arnold (7.5c., Dutton, New York).] 
 
 -Paul Mercer: a Story of Repentance among Millions. 1897 
 
 Paul, the son of a millionaire, goes exploring among the poor and the ameliorating agencies 
 of the East End, is converted to Christian Socialism and founds a large manufacturing 
 community. Full of criticism of the plutocratic regime and descriptive of the numerous 
 humanitarian bodies. [3s. 6d., Arnold.] 
 
 " Agnus, Orme " [Rev. John C. Higginbotham]. Jan Oxber. 1900 
 
 Dorset stories in broad dialect, comic or tragic, and all rich in rustic character. Jan is a stout- 
 hearted peasant whose love is embittered by a wrong inflicted on Ms wife, and who develops 
 into a village Hampden. " Orme Agnus " is obviously a disciple of Mr. Hardy, though 
 pronouncedly an optimist. [3s. 6d., Ward & Lock ; $1, Page, Boston.] 
 
 Love in Our Village. 1900 
 
 The sentimental side of the Dorsetshire peasant, set forth with the same racy handling of 
 character, humorous speech, and touches of pathos ; e.g. The Poet's Love, tale of a con- 
 sumptive lad who writes verses that he fondly imagines to be poetry, and The Dethronement 
 of the King, how two lasses give their deceitful lover a thrashing and humble his pride. 
 [6s., Ward & Lock ; ?i, Page, Boston.] 
 
 Zike Mouldom. 1902 
 
 Zike, according to the author, represents the angel in the nature of a Lancashire navvy. He 
 is a character prone to excess, a powerful will rioting in sheer devilry or rushing into 
 extremes of self-sacrifice. Both this and the other sketches are decidedly sentimental 
 versions of rustic life, and the good moral is an important part. The Wooing of Kezia is 
 brisk comedy. [6s., Ward & Lock ; ifi.50. Page, Boston.] 
 
 Sarah Tuldon. 1903 
 
 Sarah Tuldon's Lovers. 1909 
 
 Sarah is a shrewd and strong-willed village girl, who subjugates her lazy and slatternly parents, 
 makes the whole family clean and industrious, and marr5ang a rich farmer, becomes 
 queen of the village, and carries out a crusade against ignorance, filth, and neglect. Her 
 story is full of broad comedy. [Ea. 6s., Ward & Lock ; (i) 75c., Little & Brown, Boston.]

 M 1-6;' 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Allardyce, Alexander [h. 1846]. The City of Sunshine. 1877 
 
 Treats not only of Anglo-Indian people, but of the Hindu, in a way that appeals to the 
 educated of that race. Much of the interest is reMgious; caste, education, justice, the 
 betrothal of infants, money-lending, and similar problems have light thrown on them ; 
 and there are specimens of Hindu character from the Ganges basin. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Balmoral. * 1893 
 
 A romance of the '15, with Balmoral, Deeside, Lochnagar, and Dunnottar Castle as scenes. In 
 the picture of the mustering of the Jacobite clans before SherifEmuir, the author shows a 
 wide acquaintance with Highland genealogy and local history. The daughter of the 
 Farquhars, the old lairds of Balmoral, is the heroine ; the hero represents the London 
 Jacobites. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Alma-Tadema, Miss Laurence. Love's Martyr. 1886 
 
 In theme and manner strongly resembles Wuthering Heights — a passionate soul's love for one 
 who is separated by marriage. The characters are people of unrestrained temper, who 
 do not disguise their emotions. The heroine is a iine nature warped by ill-treatment and 
 deeply unfortunate in her love. Period, 1806-12 ; not historical. [6s., Longman : o.p.] 
 
 Anderson, A. J. The Romance of Fra Filippo Lippi: a new version of the Story 
 of the Friar-artist and the Nun Lucrezia. [Romance of a Friar and a 
 Nun). 1909 
 
 Thrown into the form of a novel ; the argument being that Fra Filippo was not a Don Juan 
 but a faithful husband. Vasari's version and others are given in the appendix (1456-69). 
 [los. 6d. n., Paul ($2.50 n., Dodd & Mead, New York).] 
 
 Andreae, Percy. A Vanished Emperor. 1896

 Life of immigrants, fifty years ago, in Melbourne and at the Goldfields. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Anon. Clare Welsman. 1883 
 
 Tragic story of a young sculptor who suddenly learns that his father and grandfather died 
 insane. He renounces love and devotes himself to art, but dies through an act of signal 
 heroism. The emotional life of the Quakers and the young heroine's innocent revolt from 
 their rigorous tenets are depicted. [Remington : o.p.] 
 
 Countess Irene ; by the Author of Lauterdale. 1888 
 
 Life and manners in Vienna and in an Austrian country-seat, landscapes of the Salz Kammergut 
 and the beautiful valleys of the Traun and the Inn ; varied by pictures of Irish life and 
 Shannon scenery, painted more sombrely. [3 vols., 25s. 6d., Blackwood : o.p.] 
 
 High Treason : a Romance of the Days of George II. 1902

 loves a waif from the desert who becomes a dancing-girl at the Court. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Philosopher Dick : Adventures and Contemplations of a New Zealand 
 
 Shepherd. 1890 
 
 The shepherd, a cultured, meditative man, spends years of his life in the solitude of a mountain 
 sheep-farm. This is not merely description of the wild existence of settlers and the details 
 of sheep-farming thirty years ago, but also an analytical study of solitude and its effect 
 on a thoughtful mind. By George Chamikr. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 162 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Anon, {continued). — Ponce de Leon: the Rise of the Argentine Republic, by an 
 Estanciero. 1878 
 
 A novel which is said to be the most graphic history extant of the British invasion and the 
 rise of Argentina (i 806-10) ; Spanish in bias, however, though the facts are said to be right. 
 [First published in 1878 by Chapman. 12s. 6d. n., Laurie, 1910.] 
 
 Punchinello. 1899 
 
 A sombre, emotional story of a self-tormented nature. Punchinello is a born artist, a lover of 
 beauty and a successful composer, but a misshapen dwarf ; and his deformity so preys on 
 his passionate soul that love and happiness turn to jealousy and misery. [6s., Bowden : 
 o.p.] 
 
 The Slaves of Society : a Comedy in Covers ; by the Man Who Heard Some- 
 thing. 1900 
 
 A satire on the ways of smart society of the present day, full of character-sketches that seem 
 to be portraits. A marchioness, who is plotting to secure a wealthy plebeian for her 
 daughter, is the most prominent figure, a spiteful parasite is very severely handled and 
 other prevalent types are caustically portrayed. [6s. ($1.25), Harper.] 
 
 Tim [by Howard Overing Sturgis]. 1891 
 
 A delicate portrayal of a sensitive boy's devoted affection for an older boy — a very touching 
 story of a tender and self-forgetful character. [3s. 6d., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 " Anstey, F." [Thomas Anstey Guthrie ; h. 1856]. Vice Versa ; or, A Lesson to 
 Fathers. 1882 
 
 A ludicrous blend of the modem conte with fantasy like the Arabian Nights. The drollery of 
 the situation is attained by a change of personality between a schoolboy and his staid old 
 father; after that the ordinary and probable events of school-life become exquisitely 
 comic in their sober realism. £2s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; 50 c, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Giant's Robe. 1883 
 
 A weak young man pretends to be the author of a play sent him by a friend in India. The 
 unfolding of his character in the stress of such a situation, and the remorse that drives him 
 to confess, mingle more serious elements with the comic. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; 50c., 
 Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — The Tinted Venus : a Farcical Romance. 1885, 
 
 The goddess Aphrodite reanimates an ancient statue and fastens herself on to a foolish hair- 
 dresser in London — the grandeurs of classical paganism and the banalities of our common 
 modem Ufe in ludicrous opposition, [is., Arrowsmith, Bristol; $1.50, Harper, New 
 York.] 
 
 — A Fallen Idol. 1886 
 
 An extravaganza, worked out with artful plausibility ; and a trenchant, though covert, satire 
 on the esoteric Buddhism rampant at the time. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; 75c., Lippincott, 
 Philadelphia.] 
 
 — The Pariah. . 1889 
 
 The neglected son of a parvenu father who wishes to enter Society and marries a widow of 
 good breeding but no money. The unhappy boy, ignorant and unpolished, finds himself 
 in the bosom of a family who hate and despise him. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 — Lyre and Lancet : a Story in Scenes. 1895 
 
 A poet, author of Andromeda, and a " vet," owner of the prize bull-dog " Andromeda," are 
 each mistaken for the other at a baronet's country seat, and the ensuing compUcations, 
 ludicrous in the extreme, hit off satirically a number of contemporary types. [2s. 6d., 
 Smith & Elder ; ?i. 25, Macmillan, New York.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 "Anstey, F." [continued). — ^The Brass Bottle. -, 1900 
 
 A burlesque fantasy with an unbottled genie for hero, who is liberated by a young architect, 
 and repays his benefactor by an embarrassing series of miracles. Cf. Mrs. Shelmire's 
 Djinn, by " Max Adeler," a story with the same motive. [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; I1.50, 
 Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Anteobus, Mrs. C. L. Wildersmoor. 1895 
 
 A tragedy of a mild and innocuous kind, enacted on a desolate moor in N. Lancashire : mystery- 
 plot, love-tale, sociological criticism, and rustic humour compounded together. [3s. 6d., 
 Chatto : o.p.] 
 
 Quality Comer : a Study of Remorse. 1901 
 
 Scene, a sequestered Lancashire town. A man of integrity gives way, under circumstances 
 that in some degree extenuate the offence, to the temptation to wrong a friend deeply and 
 irremediably. As the plot unfolds, his sin recoils and desolates his hfe. [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 Ardagh, W. M. The Magada. 1910 
 
 Tells of the Spanish capture of the Grand Canary (1482-92). [6s. ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 Arnim, Mary Annette Grafin von {nee Beauchamp]. Elizabeth and her German 
 Garden. 1898 
 
 The chatty and reflective journal of an English lady married to a German nobleman, and 
 employing her time in the congenial solitude of amateur gardening. Jottings on all kinds 
 of topics, from flowers and wreaths to babies and ethics, and humorous sketches of the 
 husband, " the Man of Wrath," and other people, including a biting one of her bete noire, 
 a young woman with a note-book. [6s. (50c.), Macmillan; illustrated, 8s. 6d. n. ($2.50), 
 id. ; with coloured illustrations by S. H. Vedder, 7s. 6d. ($1.75 n.), id.1 
 
 ^The Solitary Summer. 1899 
 
 The same kind of meditations, observations, and sketches of nature and human life by this 
 female hermit living in close communion with nature in her secluded garden. Preaches an 
 eloquent sermon on the positive value of intercourse with nature and the blessedness 
 of repose. [6s. (?i.5o), Macmillan ; illustrated, 8s. 6d. n. ($2.50), id.] 
 
 The Benefactress. 1902 
 
 Anna Estcourt, aged twenty-five, coming into a small property in North Germany, philan- 
 thropically offers a home to twelve distressed ladies. This somewhat farcical scheme is 
 ^worked out with considerable seriousness, and there are scenes that border on tragedy ; 
 tut as a whole the book is quietly comic, full of superficial but caustic sketches of character 
 and manners. The writer is a close observer of German country-folk, and the novel, 
 though weak in structure, is unified by the personal charm and some of the feeling for 
 nature already noted. [6s. ($1.50), Macmillan.] 
 
 The Adventures of Elizabeth in Riigen. 1904 
 
 Tells how EUzabeth goes on a driving tour round the island of Rugen. The pictures of the 
 Baltic, the coast dunes, the pine forests, the fields, and the sky effects are done with her 
 most delicate art. Even more characteristic is the comic account of EUzabeth's journey, 
 the farcical sketches of people she meets, and her caustic obiter dicta. [6s. (?i.5o), Mac- 
 millan.] 
 
 The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight. 1906 
 
 The idyllic life of a charming princess and an old courtier, who escape from the oppressive 
 atmosphere of the grand ducal home and rusticate in a Somersetshire village. The tranquil 
 course of their existence is marred, rather gratuitously, by a murder episode. [6s., Smith & 
 Elder; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Fraulein Schmidt and Mr. Anstruther. 1907 
 
 Letters of an independent young German lady to a weak Englishman, who is engaged to her 
 and then falls in love with sorneone else. Interesting less for the sentimental drama in- 
 volved than for the sharp observation and shrewd judgments of the writer, who is another 
 Ehzabeth in her piquant humour. Contains some well-drawn portraits, e.g. the professor 
 and other inhabitants of Jena. [6s., Smith & Elder ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.]

 The Woman Deborah [sequel]. 1910 
 
 In the first, we find Deborah Krillet, the " Shulamite," married to a brute of a Boer farmer, 
 who loves her passionately, sjamboks her relentlessly, and drives her into a blameless 
 love for her tyrant's overseer. On the tragic death of her husband the lovers are pathetically 
 parted ; but in the sequel harrowing complications arise, for the sundered lovers engage 
 themselves, by a most improbable coincidence, to a brother and sister, the end being death 
 to the Shulamite's old adorer and madness to herself. [6s., Chapman; (2) 6s.-, Nash.]

 Scarcely novels, though the character-drawing perhaps authorizes us to call them' fiction. 
 A series of journals of leisurely life in an old, secluded garden, where the poet converses 
 with the admiring^ Lamia on the joys of gardening, art and Hterature, politics, nature 
 and human nature, [(i) Series i, 6s. ($2 n.), (2) 5s. n. ; (2) 6s. ($2.50 n.) ; (3) 6s. ;

 AvELiNG, Francis. Arnoul the Englishman. 1908 
 
 England under Henry III and France under St. Louis. Deals largely with the University 
 of Paris, and the difierences of Regularists and Secularists in the time of Aquinas. A 
 painstaking piece of work. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Ayscough, John [b. 1858]. Marotz. 1908 
 
 The interest of this romance is emotional and spiritual, and differentiates it entirely from the 
 ordinary run of fiction. Marotz is a good woman drawn at full length, a postulant who 
 leaves her convent to marry. Her life and parting with a worthless husband, the isad 
 career of their son, and her final happiness are related in a manner that brings out the 
 author's earnest philosophy of life. Peasants, nuns, and other S. Italian and Sicilian 
 figures, drawn witti force and sincerity. [6s., Constable! ; 2s. n., Chatto; fi.50, Putnam, 
 New York.] 
 
 Dromina. 1909 
 
 " Sad stories of the death of kings " is the writer's motto. He pictures a noble old Catholic 
 house in Ireland early in the nineteenth century, descended from Irish kings, titled by the 
 Stuarts, and sending forth claimants to thrones. A Louis XVII, an Emperor of Hispaniola, 
 a king of the gipsies are among the tragic personages. Mr. Ayscough's romance is an 
 affair rather of atmosphere than incident ; he has the poetic gift of revealing the " some- 
 thing far more deeply interfused" in human life. [6s., Arrowsmith ;. $1.50, Putnam, 
 New York.] 
 
 San Celestino. 1909 
 
 The story of Pietro di Morrone (1215-96), the Celestine V who resigned the papacy after five

 Ayscough, John [continued). — Mezzogiomo. 1910

 Hurdcott. 1911 
 
 A love-drama of the spirit, not the flesh, enacted in a fine old village amid the Wiltshire downs, 
 at the time of Hazhtt and Charles and Mary Lamb, who just set foot upon the stage. 
 Hurdcott, the half-Sicilian Consuelo, and the half-Hindu Basil are beautiful with the 
 light of other worlds ; but there are more mundane characters among their friends and

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Bailey, Henry Christopher [b. 1878]. My Lady of Orange. 1901 
 
 A tale of the Dutch rising against Philip II — a typical series of deeds of derring-do in Holland 
 during 1573, ending with the relief of Alkmaar ; the narrator an English soldier of fortune. 
 Alva, Vitelli, WilUam the Silent, and Diedrich Sonoy are introduced. [6s. ($1.25), Long- 
 man.] 
 
 Karl of Erbach : a Tale of Lichtenstein and Solgau. 1903 
 
 Solgau seems to be a Suabian state. Interest divided between exciting adventure and the 
 
 sprightly dialogue of two romantic lovers, (c. 1640, time of Thirty Years' War). 
 [6s. ($1.50), Longman.] 
 
 The Master of Gray. 1903 
 
 The Master is Patrick Gray, 6th Lord Gray, a prominent intriguer in the days of Mary Queen 
 of Scots, whose infamous desertion of his mistress's cause is excused on the plea of his 
 love. But for this historical licence the story follows the records with exemplary faithful- 
 ness. Period of Mary's captivity ; Ehzabeth, James VI, Sidney, Walsingham, Burleigh, 
 etc., appear. [6s. ($1.50), Longman.]

 {1680-8). [6s., Murray.] 
 
 Springtime (Under Castle Walls). 1906 
 
 An exciting romance of the early period of the Renaissance in Lombardy. The style is 
 
 Mr. Hewlett's heavily dashed with Kipling. [6s., Murray; I1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Raoul, Gentleman of Fortune. 1907 
 
 Concerned with the revolt of the Netherlands (1574-84), siege and relief of Leyden, siege

 — Colonel Stow {Colonel Greatheart). 1908 
 
 Introduces Cromwell, Rupert, and other typical characters, historical and fictitious. Civil 
 War period (1643) ; but more of a novel of manners than historical romance. f[6s., 
 Hutcliinson; $1.50, Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis.]

 A story of Sussex, Nantes, and the Vendean War (1793-4). [6s., Methuen; $1.50, Brentano,

 of real people. [6s., Greening : o.p.] 
 
 Barlow, Jane [&. i860]. Irish Idylls. 1892 
 
 . Detached sketches of life among the poor cottars in a moorland hamlet in Connaught, rendering 
 with sober truthfulness the character, the manners and emotions of these people of re- 
 stricted Ufe but large imagination, oppressed ■vn.t\^ poverty, but full of hope, deeply 
 rehgious and trustful in Providence. Widow M'Gurk, Ody Rafferty, Mrs. Kilfoyle, and 
 Father Rooney are drawn with subtle penetration and much quiet humour. The sadness 
 of the picture is further lightened by the sensitive eye which sees the dignity of poverty 
 and the goodness and charity that may dwell in lowly hearts. This and the later stories 
 are remarkable for their pure, pellucid, and refined prose. [6s., Hodder ; $2, Dodd & 
 Mead, New York.] 
 
 Kerrigan's Quality. 1893 
 
 Similar sketches of the poorest peasantry, connected by a slight plot, the strange and dramatic 
 chain of circumstances by which a girl learns the dreadful fate of her missing lover. 
 There is much humour in the judgments passed by village gossips on their pet aversion, 
 Kerrigan, an enriched peasant returned from Australia, who entertains a family of quality. 
 [6s., Hodder.] 
 
 Strangers at Lisconnel. 1895 
 
 Rather more genial stories about the Bogland, which Miss Bsirlow depicts with so much of 
 the poetry of landscape, adding some fresh characters to those introduced in Irish Idylls, 
 the most delightful of which is the poor old hedge-schoolmaster, Mr. Polymathers. The 
 selection still remains very narrow, however, omitting such characteristic types as the 
 Irish priest, the money-lender, and the agitator. [6s., Hodder.] 
 
 Maureen's Fairing ; and other Stories. 1895 
 
 Eight Uttle stories, chiefly of life in Ballyhoy, a pleasanter place than Lisconnel. [2s. 6d. n.. 
 Dent (75c., Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 Mrs. Martin's Company ; and other Stories. 1896 
 
 Seven stories, chiefly of a light and humorous kind, very tender in their sketching of poor, 
 refined, good-hearted people. Mrs. Martin is a devout old soul living in an out-of-the-way 
 spot, to whom a sort of latter-day miracle happens, quite credibly, of course, with the 
 result that she gets no lack of company to cheer her loneliness. A Very Light Railway 
 is a touching sketch of child-life, and A Case of Conscience a police-court comedy, [2s. 6d. n., 
 Dent (75c., Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 168' 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Barlow, Jane (continued).' — A Creel of Irish Stories. 1897 
 
 The Keys of the Jest tells how .a myth grows up in a child's mind, the sketch of the little 
 girl and the household of broken-down gentry drawn with characteristic tenderness ; 
 The Snakes and Norah is a Uttle tragi-comedy of a peasant girl's temptation and the 
 monster born of remorse ; Three Pint Measures, a comic sketch of low life ; and A Proud 
 Woman, a humorous character-portrait of an old Irishwoman, a poor huckster with the 
 pride of a duchess. Half a dozen sketches of the same West Irish peasantry. [6s., Methuen 
 ($1.25, Dodd & Mead, New York).] 
 
 From the East unto the West. 1898 
 
 More, stories about the Lisconnel folkj and some Oriental tales curiously resembling her Irish 
 tales in many features. The Puzzle of Jarbek is an excellent sample of her story-telUng, a 
 fearsome but comic adventure with a lioh in the desert. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 ■ — '■ From the Land of the Shamrock. 1901 
 
 Delicate interpretations of Irish character in the form of brief anecdotes, evoking the fatahsm 
 and the poetry so deeply rooted in the Celtic peasant. [6s., Methuen ($1.50, Dodd & 
 Mead, New York).] 
 
 — By Beach and Bogland : a Book of Irish Stories. 1905 
 
 [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Irish Neighbours. 1907 
 
 Two collections of characteristic stories — seventeen apiece. [5s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 Irish Ways. 1909 
 
 A .story like Ourselves and our Island gives a kind of conspectus of the Irish question, in so far 
 as it is a problem of racial character. The other stories are much in the accustomed vein, 
 portraying the finer qualities of the poorest peasants in the West, and bringing out with 
 subtle and poetic insight the unobtrusive beauties o£ the desolate bogland. In all these 
 tales the dialect is reprbduced with the most scrupulous pains. [Illustrated, 15s., Allen.] 
 
 Mac's Adventures. ■ 1911 
 
 A pretty character-portrait of an idoUzed child — Irish, of course. [6s., Hutchinson.] f 
 
 Flaws. 191I 
 
 Quite a characteristic novel, with characters from the genteel and the peasant classes. [6s., 
 Hutchinson.] 
 
 Barmby, Beatrice Helen {d. 1904]. Rosslyn's Raid ; and other Tales. 1903 
 
 A fierce and bloody saga of Border fighting in Elizabethan times. A small masterpiece both 
 as perfect narrative and as an intense realization of the past. Rosslyn — the reckless, 
 chivalrous Border lord — ^though sketched in such brief compass, is a creation of extrp,- 
 ordinary vigour. Also two shorter tales, of which The Slave of Lagash takes us back to 
 ancient Chaldsea. [is. 6d. n., Duckworth.] 
 
 Barr, Robert [1850-1912]. In the Midst of Alarms. 1894 
 
 A journalist's love-story, illustrating Canadian country life at the time of a threatened Fenian 
 invasionfrom the United States. [6s., Methuen ; 75c., Stokes, New York.] 
 
 The Countess Tekla. 1898 
 
 Adventures on the Rhine borders (c. 1273-91) ; the heroine a high-spirited countess who, after 
 . many perils, is wooed and won by an emperor in disguise. [6s., Methuen ; $1.25, Stokes, 
 New York.] . . 
 
 — The Strong Arm. . 1900 
 
 Brief tales of action, chiefly in mediaeval Germany ; the Prince- Bishop of Treves appears again, 
 with other fighting prelates, and that sinister tribunal the Vehmgericht of WestphaUa 
 plays a dramatic part. Converted is grimly humorous ; the'Warrior Maid is a story of 
 Nelson. [6s., Methuen; I1.25, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 169 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Bare, Robert [continue^. — A Prince of Good Fellows. 1902 
 
 Eleven spirited stories about that versatile personality James V, the Scottish Haroun al

 — The Swordmaker. 1910 
 
 Frankfort and the predatory Rhine barons of the fourteenth century. [6s., Mills & Boon; 
 $1.25, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 Barrett, Frank [b. 1848]. A Prodigal's Progress. 1882 
 
 A plot-novel, with sensational episodes and pictures of domestic life in the earlyjuineteenth 
 century. The reformation and restoration of the Prodigal give rise to much play of 
 character ; several of the personages are racy types, particularly that strange mixture 
 Parson Tickel. [2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — — The Admirable Lady Biddy Fane. 1888 
 
 Adventures of a iierce young Comishman and the kinswoman he is in love with, in the W. 
 Indies and elsewhere, among pirates, marooners, Indians, Portuguese, etc. [6d., Cassell.] 
 
 A Set of Rogues. 1895 
 
 The rogues belong to a company of strolling players, driven from London by the Plague 
 and reduced to dire straits. A certain Spaniard engages them in a conspiracy, which serves 
 to bring out their eccentricities and to make some improbable and amusing situations. 
 [6s., Innes : o.p.] 
 
 Breaking the Shackles. 1900 
 
 Represents fairly this author's work. A perplexing and startling series of crimes, mysteries, 
 and intrigues, woven into a tolerably plausible story. Contains good scenes of convict 
 life. [6s., Macque^n : o.p.] 
 
 Barrie, James Matthew \h. i860]. Better Dead. 1887 
 
 A slight but amusing extravaganza : the " Society for Doing Without Some People," and its 
 trade in slaughter of celebrities who have done their work, is a new and farcical version of 
 De Quincey's Murder as a Fine Art, or of Stevenson's Suicide Club. [2s. 6d., Sonnenschein.] 
 
 Auld Licht Idylls. 1888 
 
 Disconnected character-sketches and anecdotes of the gossips, the village worthies, the 
 weddings, christenings, funerals, and, in fact, the whole humble domestic life of the small 
 Forfarshire market-town of " Thrums " or Kirriemuir early in the nineteenth century. 
 Only the pleasanter aspects are given. With that exception, the sketches are reahstic, and 
 draw freely on autobiographical material. Full of humorous dialogue in broad Scots. 
 Mr, Barrie is one of the greatest of the sentimentalists, and akin to Sterile as well as to 
 Gait, Christopher North, and George MacDouald. He is a conscious sentimentalist, who 
 plays with sentimentality and holds it up to satire, as appears more clearly in the two 
 novels dealing with Sentimental Tommy. [3s. 6d., is. n., Hodder ; $1.25, Scribner, New 
 York. Illustrated by Wm. Hole, 31s. 6d., Hodder.] 
 
 — When a Man's Single. 1888 
 
 The struggles of a dour, self-educated Scot, a Thrums saw-miller, who goes to London and wins 
 fortune as a leader-writer, with the ups and downs of his courtship of a girl of much higher 
 social station. Comic sketches of life in a newspaper ofi&ce, and of the author's native 
 Thrums. [3s. 6d., Hodder ; 75c. n., Burt, New York.] 
 
 170 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Barrie, James Matthew (continued). — A Window in Thrums. 1889 
 
 A sequel to the Idylls ; stories and sketches, some humorous, some pathetic, knit together by 
 the history of a family of cottars. Its distinguishing quality, next to the thumb-nail 
 sketches of native humorists and their inimitable talk, is the author's reverence for simple 
 piety and for the domestic affections. [3s. 6d., Hodder ; ?i.25, Scribner, New York. 
 With coloured illustrations by A. C. Michael, 6s. n., Hodder ($2, Scribner, New York).] 
 
 My Lady Nicotine. 1890 
 
 A bundle of journalistic sketches (contributed to the St. James's Gazette) of a little coterie 
 of devout smokers, their lifelike, if sometimes farcical, conversations, escapades, mis- 
 adventures, and sentimental musings. [3s. 6d., Hodder ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 The Little Minister. 1891 
 
 A romantic fantasia on the Thrums motive : the love affairs of the Auld Licht minister and a 
 beautiful and sprightly " Egyptian," who is a lady in disguise, give the book more of the 
 structure of a novel than the foregoing. The sketches of character and of Scottish manners 
 and religious sentiments are very humorous, and there are passages from Ufe full of un- 
 affected pathos. [3s. 6d., is., Cassell ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 Sentimental Tommy. 1896 
 
 First volume of the life-history of a Thrums boy, whose unconquerable insincerity and habit 
 of posing, even to himself, typify the artistic temperament; a very quaint, novel, and 
 illuminating study of idiosyncrasy. The first portion is one of the most inspired accounts 
 of child life ever written, revealing with extraordinary insight the working of a boy's mind 
 and imagination. From the back streets of London Tommy is suddenly transported 
 to the real Thrums, which has hitherto been to him a kind of elysium, painted in golden 
 tints by his mother. Then begins a delightful epic of boyhood and girlhood, as exquisitely 
 humorous as it is true, and in many parts deeply pathetic. [6s., Cassell ; $1.50, Scribner, 
 New York.] 
 
 Tommy and Grizel [sequel]. 1900 
 
 Continues the biography of Tommy the writer to his unanticipated death. As he grows older 
 his self-consciousness becomes more pronounced, and each act of his is penetrated with 
 affectation as he views everything through a literary atmosphere as so much " copy "; 
 his flirtations are theatrical posturings, his whole life is make-believe, either for the benefit 
 of his friends and admirers or in sheer self-deception. There has certainly been no such 
 comedy of sentimentality since Sterne— Meredith's anatomy of the fine shades and the 
 nice feelings in Sandra Belloni is quite different. Mr. Barrie revels in Tommy, whose affec- 
 tations are a perpetual delight. The noble and patient character of Grizel is portrayed with 
 the same perfect art ; and the minor figures, Aaron Latta, Corp, Mr. Cathro, Gavinia, 
 and other Thrums originals, the serial novelist Pym, and the degenerates from London 
 society are all drawn with a firm hand. [6s., Cassell ; I1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Little White Bird. 1902 
 
 A wayward and eccentric fantasia in which Kensington Gardens is turned into a land of en- 
 chantments. The first half tells how an old fogey interests himself in a young couple and 
 becomes a second father to their little boy. Then Peter Pan comes into the story — the 
 little boy that never grew up — and we are launched upon a fairy epic that must captivate 
 any child. The earlier part, however, is where we see the real J. M. Barrie's inimitable 
 blend of truth and fancy, tenderness and subtle humour. [6s., Hodder ; $1.50, Scribner, 
 New York.] 
 
 Peter and Wendy. 191 1 
 
 This is the story of Peter Pan, the children's comedy, turned into a novel, with pictures recalUng 
 the stage scenes of that irresponsible fantasy. Peter is Sentimental Tommy, and Wendy 
 is Grizel, reduced to infantile standards. [6s., Hodder; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Barrington, Michael. The King's Fool. 1904 
 
 A romance of the Middle Ages and the land of the troubadours. Yvot, a noble lad, appears 
 in the guise of a jester amid the pomps' and revelries of a king's court ; his secret tragedy 
 is full of pathos. [6s., Blackwood.]

ENGLISH FICTION

 mont, Bart. 1902 
 
 Autobiography of a Georgian gentleman in London, Paris, and Sweden (1775-1812), portrait 
 of Axel Fersen (who is the hero), and glimpses of Horace Walpole, Marie Antoinette, 
 etc. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 The Knight of the Golden Sword. 1909 
 
 Grahame of Claverhouse (whom the atithor tries to vindicate), and, less prominently, 
 Charles II and James II, Waller, Pepys, etc. (1672-89). [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 The Lady of Tripoli. 1910 
 
 Another troubadour romance ; scenes, Bordeaux and Tripoli (1146-7). [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 Barrington, Emilia Isabel Russell [nee Wilson]. Lena's Picture: a Story of 
 Love. 1892 
 
 Opens with uneventful family life in a Somersetshire country-house, and passes on to Cologne 
 and Bayreuth, where the love-drama reaches its most poignant interest, returning in the 
 end to the west Somerset hills and moors. Vignettes of English and Continental scenery 
 in town and country, and conversations about art and music deepen the interest of the 
 heroine's experiences. [5s., Harper.] 
 
 Barry, Rev. William Francis [b. 1849]. The New Antigone. 1887 
 
 A doctrinaire novel, propounding various poUtical and sociological questions, and dealing 
 largely with the life and intrigue of Anarchist and Nihihst agitators. The drama of 
 passion and self-immolation, in which Hippolyta Valence is the protagonist — a figure of 
 great spiritual beauty — ^is full of ideality and power. Imbued by her Nihilist father with 
 belief in the rightness of free love, she acts upon her principles — ^to the sorrow of herself 
 and her lover. Long digressions and descriptive passages somewhat mar the artistic 
 effect. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 The Two Standards. 1899 
 
 The wealthy and idle classes of to-day represented by a group of generic characters, and 
 judged from a high moral standpoint. Interest centres in the heroine, her struggle for 
 the better standard of human conduct, the hopes and disillusions of her married hfe. 
 She has intimate relations with a man of genius, evidently meant for Wagner. [6s., 
 Unwin ; $1.50, Century Co., New York.] 
 
 Arden Massiter. 
 
 1900 
 
 A young English Socialist, in Italy as a newspaper correspondent, gets immersed in the strife 
 of the Camorra and the various revolutionary forces devastating and transforming the 
 country. A broad picture, full of realistic detail, is drawn of the overburdened peasantry, 
 the intriguing clergy, the corrupt poUticians, and the general conditions of Italian hfe 
 to-day. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 The Wizard's Knot. 
 
 1901 
 
 A novel of Irish hfe, influenced by the New Irish movement in literature. The tragic loves 
 of a gentleman and a peasant girl, the Irish peasantry with their humours, superstitions, 
 and poetry, are presented with insight and power, and there is a moving description of 
 the famine in S.W. Cork. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 — The Dayspring. 1903 
 
 The love romance of a talented young Irishman in Paris at the close of the Second Empire. 
 The widowed countess he loves, his friend the Legitimist, and the necromantic villain, 
 are the exotic souls in whom Dr. Barry delights. Incoherent, melodramatic, a fairy-tale 
 in construction ; but full of ideas — Celtic ideas, both Irish and French in origin — and 
 remarkable for the enthusiasm that renders it almost lyrical. A lurid picture of the 
 Commune, with sketches of Rochefort, Thiers, Gambetta, etc. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 173 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Bartram, George. The Thirteen Evenings. 1901 
 
 Miscellaneous stories told in a club smoking-room, sensational, mystical. Rabelaisian, and 
 bucolic. Three, of the West Indies, reaUstically present extremely unfamiliar phases 
 of life, and the sketches of rustic originals from the English Midlands are full-flavoured 
 and humorous. Forcible and terse in style and treatment, sometimes coarse. Kiphng's 
 influence is apparent. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Longshoremen. 1903 
 
 Smuggling, from the preventive's standpoint. The real hero is a gigantic exciseman, a martyr 
 to duty, a true man of action. The Sussex town of Hoigh, with its canting mayor and 
 smuggling justices, and the open or surreptitious attempts to bring them to book, make 
 brisk comedy ; whilst the harsh, muscular characters come out in savage deeds of lust and 
 revenge. [6s., Arnold.] 
 
 Lads of the Fancy. 1906 
 
 A "muscular" novel of 1811. Life in London and the Shires in the great days of the ring 
 and fashionable gambling. [6s., Duckworth.] 
 
 Bates, Havergall. The Believing Bishop. 1901 
 
 A satire on those accepted standards which are really a compromise between Christian ideals 
 and the alleged necessities of practical life. The bishop orders his conduct strictly accord- 
 ing to the example of Christ's earthly life, and the result is worldly failure and spiritual 
 triumph. The characters and daily incidents of town life are represented realistically, 
 and the criticism is in the form of Socratic dialogue. [6s., G. Allen.] 
 
 Baxter, J. D. The Meeting of the Ways. 1908 
 
 On the Roman Wall (367-9), the fighting with the Picts ; fortified with antiquarian notes. 
 [6s., Greening : o.p.] 
 
 Beattie, WilHam B. The Werewolf. 1910 
 
 Tells of a grand seigneur's harsh treatment of his peasants, in the days of Anne of Austria and 
 Mazarin. Cardinal de Retz, Ninon de I'Enclos, Bergerac, Mile, de Scudery, etc., appear ; 
 middle seventeenth century. [6s., Paul.] 
 
 Beaumont, Mary. A Ringby Lass ; and other Stories. 1895 
 
 A little love-tale of rustic Yorkshire folk in the early forties. The lass is a loyal, unsophisti- 
 cated girl, who sacrifices herself heroically for her father's sake. With some shorter tales 
 also largely in dialect, and a pathetic study of a Maori wife who reverts to savagery. 
 [2S. 6d., Dent.] 
 
 Joan Seaton : a Story of Parsifal. 1896 
 
 A touching story of the Yorkshire dales, strong in local colour and excellent in rendering the

 Dent (35c. n., Dutton, New York), 1912.]

 Becke, George Louis {continued). — ^The Ebbing of the Tide : South Sea Stories. 
 
 1896 
 
 Twenty-one tales of Europeans and natives afloat and ashore in Polynesia. Luliban of the 
 Pool and Hickson are bloodthirsty tales of the irregular amours of whites and coloured 
 women. A Boating Party of Two is a dark story of brutality and revenge. Scenery, 
 manners and customs, and racial peculiarities of the South Sea Islanders vividly repre- 
 sented. [3s. 6d., Unwin ; $1.25, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Rodman the Boatsteerer ; and other Stories. 1898 
 
 Fierce, melodramatic stories, representing a bygone state of things among the traders, whalers, 
 slavers, and natives of Polynesia and Malaysia, some harking back to the times when Australia 
 was a convict settlement. Rodman heads a mutiny on a Yankee slaver, and is the only 
 survivor of the boat's crew who escape. The sketch includes a vivid account of whale- 
 fishing. The Trader is a tale of fiendish revenge. The Trader's Wife, with its incident of a 
 woman cut in two by a shark, is not more " bluggy " than divers others. The strange con- 
 trasts of character in Europeans and natives, the irregular morals, Yankee brutalities, 
 crimes of lawless men, are depicted with vivid actuality, and so is the fairy atmosphere of 
 the coral isles. [6s., Unwin; ?1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.]

 A longer tale of native and sea life in Papua, with some Australian scenes. [2s. 6d., is., R.T.S.]

 Becke, G. L., and Walter Jeffery ]h. 1861]. A First Fleet Family. 1895 
 
 Almost more fact than fiction, and wholly dressed in historical garb, with close reproduction 
 of eighteenth-century expressions and ways of thinking — the story of the colonization of 
 New South Wales, with sketches of the felon-colonists and their governors (1787-92). 
 [6s., Unwin ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.]

 Prophets. 1898 
 
 An old maid with luxurious tastes and straitened means learns that the earth is to be destroyed

 brief period left. A study of character under conditions that bring out its latent forces

 Bell, Robert Stanley Warren [6. 1871]. Love the Laggard. 1901 
 
 A fascinating and capricious young lady and a millionaire, whom she jilts on the eve of matri-

 — The Aftermath ; or, Gleanings from a Busy Life ; called upon the outer cover 
 for purposes of sale, Caliban's Guide to Letters. 1903 
 
 Pokes fun at all slaves to stupid convention in journalism and in what nowadays goes by the 
 name of Literature, [is. 6d. n., Duckworth.] 
 
 — Emmanuel Burden, Merchant of Thames Street, London. 1904 
 
 A similar satire on heavy, dull, conventional respectability. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Mr. Clutterbuck's Election. 1908 
 
 Light satire of foolish and mischievous tendencies in the political life of our day — bolstering of 
 commercial interests by Government, anti-Semitism, etc. A stupid City man gains a 
 fortune by lucky blundering, wins an election, is unseated, and gets knighted through the 
 whim of a man with social influence. [6s., Nash.] 
 
 A Change in the Cabinet. 1909 
 
 Like the last and the next, a skit on professional pohtics. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Pongo and the Bull. 1910 
 
 More of the same clever though sketchy satire of the pretentious vulgarity of industrial 
 civilization, of professional politics, and so-called " democracy " run as a job for the aristo- 
 cratic and moneyed classes. Mr. Belloc is French by birth and temperament, and an 
 earnest Roman CathoUc. [6s., Constable.] 
 
 The Girondin. 191 1 
 
 The experiences of a young man in 1792 who is impressed into the army of the Republic and 
 killed at Valmy. Extremely vivid in the picturing of actualities, as if by an eye-witness. 
 [2s. n.. Nelson.] 
 
 Belloc-Lowndes, Marie Adelaide [Mrs. Lowndes, wee Belloc; b. 1868]. Barbara 
 Rebell. 1905

 50c., Dodge, New York.] 
 
 Bennett [Enoch] Arnold [b. 1867]. Anna of the Five Towns. 1902 
 
 An appealing study of simple, self-efiacing womanhood, ignorant of worldly wisdom, but 
 capable of great heights of renunciation. Anna is the child of a rich miser, erstwhile a 
 pillar of the Methodists. The best side of the sect is brought out, while the worst — the 
 religiosity, the pretences, and the hypocrisy — is satirized with quiet humour. [3s. 6d., 
 Chatto ; ji.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 -. A Great Man. 1904 
 
 A satire on the literary tastes of the great majority. The great man is a solicitor's clerk who 
 takes to writing novels, and even becomes a playwright, and by catchy titles and other 
 meretricious effects captures the British pubhc and makes enormous gains. [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 I7S 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Bennett [Enoch] Arnold {continued).— Tales of the Five Towns. 1905 
 The Grim Smile of the Five Towns. 1907 
 
 Slight stories of the Potteries district, several of them effectively contrasting London and 
 provincial life, the impression made on the provincial by his first experience of the metro- 
 polis, and vice versa, [(i) 6s., Chatto ; (2) 6s., Chapman.] 
 
 — Whom God hath Joined. 1906 
 
 The history of two divorce cases in two closely related households, studied with most exact 
 realism, the sole improbabiUty being the coincidence of the two. The erring wife, and the 
 injured wife and daughter, are excellent examples of the author's deep understanding of 
 women. The scene, one of the towns in the Potteries, of which Mr. Bennett is a native. 
 [3s. 6d., Nutt.] 
 
 — The Old Wives' Tale. 1908 
 
 The lives of two women from girlhood to death, two ordinary types whose experience of life 
 illustrates the passage of an epoch, the engulfment of the mid- Victorian era by over- 
 whelming modernity being typified in the disappearance of the Five Towns in an industrial 
 metropolis with all the crudity and vulgarity of to-day. The staid and unromantic sister 
 who Uves out her Ufe in Bursley is finely contrasted with the energy and self-reliance of her 
 more fastidious sister, who makes her own fortune abroad and has interesting experiences 
 during the siege of Paris. The first half of the book is rich in ironical satire of provincial 
 respectabiUty and pharisaical evangelicaUsm. [2s. n., Hodder ; $1.50 n., Doran, New 
 York.] 
 
 — Buried Alive. 1908 
 
 A farcical entertainment, with bit's of satire in the vein of A Great Man. An eminent and 
 eccentric painter changes identities with his dead valet, and an extravagant series of 
 complications ensue. [6s., Chapman ; $1, Breutano, New York.] 
 
 — The Glimpse : an Adventure of the Soul. 1909 
 
 A spiritual adventure related with circumstantial realism. A man falls into a trance and has a 
 glimpse of the life outside and around that we are conscious of ; and the experience changes 
 his attitude towards his wife, his villainous friends, and his fellows in general. [2s. n.. 
 Chapman ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — Helen with the High Hand : an idyllic diversion. 1910 
 
 A preposterous comedy. The masterful Helen, a school-teacher in the Five Towns, turns a 
 crabbed and miserly old relative into a fine gentleman and makes him spend his money in a 
 princely style that he would never have dreamed of. [6s., Chapman ; ?i.20 n., Doran, 
 New York.] 
 
 — Clayhanger. 1910 
 
 Another slice of ordinary, undistinguished life — the obscure tragedies, unnoticed heroisms, 
 and unaccomplished romances that make half a century of human history — in the Potteries. 
 Hardly a character is out of the average, yet all ahke prove the intense individuality of 
 every individual. The inner life of Clayhanger, a shy, clumsy, ineffectual young man, 
 and the outer Ufe of his people and the more versatile and cultivated Orgreaves. [6s., 
 Methuen, $1.50 n., Button, New York.] 
 
 — The Card : a Story of Adventure in the Five Towns. 1911 
 
 The more fantastic side of life in the Five Towns. The Card is a light-hearted adventurer and 
 self-made man, who achieves the mayoralty mainly by a combination of cheek and savoir- 
 faire. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — Hilda Lessways. 1911 
 
 Not a sequel to Clayhanger, but the other side of the story, i.e. the life of Hilda previous to her 
 marriage with Clayhanger, and her unfortunate relations with the bigamous Cannon. The 
 domestic life of a crowd of female characters, and the exciting emotional experiences of 
 Hilda, give ample scope for psychological analysis. [6s., Methuen.]

 (1903) and The Isles of Sunset (1904). 1911 
 
 [7s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 These are either mixed collections of essays or a kind of " imaginary portraits," as Pater would 
 call them, a good deal more than essays but not quite novels. They contain a thread of 
 biography — -or autobiography — and much introspective portraiture, or self-revelation 
 thinly disguised. Both The House of Quiet (1903) and The Upton Letters (1905), the latter in 
 epistolary form, give us the ruminations of a man of culture and leisure on all sorts of 
 matters, the ethical equation being always at the back of his argument. The titles in- 
 dicate the slight degree of difference between the others. Beside Still Waters (1907) 
 describes the moods and meditations of a contemplative man, averse from practical affairs, 
 but anxious to find the work which he beUeves allotted him by God's scheme of provi- 
 dence. He settles down at last as a lonely scholar at Cambridge, and in At Large more of 
 his impressions of English scenery, education, religion, conduct, literature, and what-not 
 are presented in Mr. Benson's melUfiuous prose, which is as emotional as Pater's but less 
 subtle and less ornate. The Altar Fire adopts the same kind of machinery, and again the 
 development of character is weak and vague, the real interest lying in the essays, sermons, 
 or dissertations which are strung together on the biographical thread. 
 
 Benson, Edward Frederick {b. 1867; brother of preceding]. Dodo : a Detail of 
 
 To-day. 1893 
 
 A smart representation of smart Society, which made a hit partly because the heroine was 
 
 alleged to be a thinly disguised sketch of a well-known lady. A paradoxical jocularity, 
 
 and satire tempered with complacent appreciation, are the saUent qualities, [is. n., 
 
 Hodder ; ?i, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Limitations. 1896 
 
 Theme, the Umitations of life and art : the two exponents, a woman who fails to win the man 
 
 she loves, and a sculptor who aims at the great Hellenic ideals but gets his bread by 
 producing trivial statuettes. [2s. n., Ward & Lock; $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Vintage. 1898 
 
 The Capsina [sequel]. 1899 
 
 Quiet, idyllic scenes of country life and manners, and scenes of violent adventure during the 
 
 Greek War of Independence (1821-2). Greeks and Turks, shepherds, village maidens and 
 truculent ruffians, make a motley crowd of characters. Historic personages figure ; even 
 Apollo comes on the stage. The Capsina is a winsome Amazon, who performs wonders of 
 valour, but at last perishes tragically. The seas and mountains of Greece are lavishly 
 depicted as background, [(i) is. n., Methuen,- J 1.50, Harper, New York; (2) 3s. 6d.,

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Benson, Edward Frederick (continued). — Mammon & Co. 1899 
 
 A return to the smart, self-indulgent Society of Dodo. Aristocratic company-promoters, 
 baccarat-swindlers, a woman who goes wrong and is perhaps meant as an awful warning 
 of the results of mammon-worship, a Mrs. Malaprop and other serio-comic figures are 
 presented half complacently and half satirically. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Appleton, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Princess Sophia. 1900 
 
 A fantasia, mixing comedy and sensation, after the manner of Tke Prisoner of Zenda."^^ The 
 Princess Rhodope is a bom gamester ; she turns her domain into another Monte Carlo, 
 but obtains as much congenial excitement from the intrigues of her husband and her 
 diplomats as from the roulette table. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Luck of the Vails. 1901 
 
 A tissue of unlikely events plausibly narrated : the villain, a great-uncle who plots to murder 
 the young heir of the family, is interesting as a study of the criminal temperament, and 
 recalls Wilkie Collins's Count Fosco. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Challoners. 1904 
 
 A more serious treatment than is usual with Mr. Benson of family estrangement through the 
 vagaries of character, illustrated in a brother and sister who make their own lives, one by 
 a musical career, the other by her marriage, in opposition to their father, an orthodox 
 clergyman. Some of the by-characters are interesting, particularly the paradoxical Lady 
 Sunningwell, and the satire of hide-bound parochiaUsm is amusing. [6s., Heinemann.]

 The Image in the Sand. 1905 
 
 The Angel of Pain. 1906

 ea. $1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia ; {5) 50c., Cupples, New York.] 
 
 Account Rendered. 1911 
 
 Handles four characters very searchingly — Lord Tenby and his mother, an anxious, insincere 
 woman, a young girl he marries, and a young man that his bride really loved. The com- 
 pUcations hinted at in this description of the cast is worked out on the character basis.

 and N. England. [6s., Pitman.] 
 
 -- — The King's Achievement. 1905

 divine. The Princess Elizabeth, Philip of Spain, Cardinal Pole, and others are introduced 
 (1553-8). [6s., Pitman.] 
 
 The Sentimentalists. 1906 
 
 Begins a series of religious and spiritualistic studies of present-day life, chiefly of people in the 
 class that goes to Eton and Oxford. They deal with religious experiences of the most 
 esoteric kind, and are as much propagandist arguments for the supreme truth of Catholi- 
 cism as novels in the ordinary sense. [6s., Pitman ; $1.25 n., Benziger, New York.] 
 
 — A Mirror of Shalott. 1907 
 
 Short stories revealing Father Benson's craftsmanship at its best, and suffused with spiritual 
 imagination and poetry. [6s., Pitman.] 
 
 — Lord of the World. 1907 
 
 A romance of 2050 a.d., with sensational descriptions of the material aspects of life in the 
 future, but intended to set forth the conflict of principles between the two great camps of 
 Humanitarianism and of believers in the Catholic God. [6s., Pitman; 1 1.50, Dodd & 
 Mead, New York.] 
 
 — The Conventionalist. 1908 
 
 More controversial than ever. A study of people in conventional county society, and the 
 incursion of the supernatural into their lives. Some characters reappear from The Senti- 
 mentalists. [6s., Hutchinson ; I1.50, Herder, St. Louis.] 
 
 — The Necromancers. 1909 
 
 A young convert to Rome whose love has just died falls under the spell of an enthusiastic 
 and successful medium, and is barely rescued from madness. Argues that spiritualism 
 is a perilous commerce with diabolic powers which are lying in wait to enthral the soul. 
 [6s., Hutchinson; $1.50, Herder, St. Louis.] 
 
 — A Winnowing. 1910 
 
 In this case, a wealthy young man, a CathoUc, devoted to sport and mundane interests, is 
 caught back from the brink of death, having " become aware of a real world of spirit, and 
 all the rest." He builds a convent, and proposes that he and his wife shall become monk 
 and nun. The sequel is a psychological surprise. Has the usual sensuous descriptions of 
 Roman ceremonial, especially of the life of monastics. [6s., Hutchinson; $1.50, Herder, 
 St. Louis.] 
 
 None Other Gods. 1910 
 
 Another spiritual biography in which it is taught that the two worlds are one. A peer's son 
 enters the Roman Church, takes to poverty and the Uf e of a gentleman tramp, and sacrifices 
 himself to the bitter end in working out his scheme of purgation and devotion to the. 
 spiritual aim of life. [6s., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Herder, St. Louis.] 
 
 The Dawn of All. igir 
 
 A vision of the world in 1973, when the Church has become omnipotent. A fulsome, but very 
 unalluring, picture of sacerdotalism rampant. [6s., Hutchinson; $1.50, Herder, St. Louis.]' 
 
 Beresford, J. D. The Hampdenshire Wonder. 1911 
 
 Satirizes modern Positivism, whether academical or that of the man in the street. Also, a plea, 
 for mystery and romance. The prodigy is born with a finer intellect than Newton's, and 
 rapidly acquires more learning than a dozen " Encyclopaedia Britannicas." His effect 
 on all he comes in contact with is surprising and amusing. [6s., Sidgwick Jackson.] 
 
 Bevan, Tom. Beggars of the Sea. [juvenile] 1903

 Mr. Hannay is the Rector of Westport, Co. Mayo, and a Gaelic Leaguer, His earlier novels are 
 a makeshift sort of fiction, the object being to give a simple and sympathetic account of 
 critical episodes of Irish history in an attractive dress. His political attitude is nation- 
 alist in the most liberal sense, and he has a fellow-feeUng even for opponents. The Seething 
 Pot deals with Pamell's time. Hyacinth and Benedict Kavanagh criticize the embroiled 
 politics of to-day, and the former satirizes a Roman CathoUc sisterhood. The Northern 
 Iron deals with the northern movement in '98, which ended in the defeat before Antrim. 
 The Bad Times is an account of the evils of the land system and the doings of the Land

 [2s. n.. Nelson ; $1.20, Doran, New York.] 
 
 ■ — The Major's Niece. 1911 
 
 [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 In these three novels, bound together by the delightful personahty of "J. J.," Mr. Birmingham 
 leaves serious historical fiction for light comedy and farce. The Rev. J. J. Meldon is an 
 extremely unorthodox clergyman from the west of Ireland, who in the first novel performs 
 miracles of agiUty, valour, and address in a competitive search for hidden treasure ; in the 
 second engineers a plot for getting rid of an objectionable agent ; and in the third triumphs 
 absurdly over difi&culties caused by a visit of the Lord-Lieutenant. He is an irresistible 
 talker, a champion Har, a shrewd and satirical critic of things in general. His observations 
 on Irish affairs are full of sound sense. The sceptical Major Kent, the impish Marjorie, 
 and dozens of EngUsh and native characters are capitally drawn.

 A sympathetic study of a fanatical devotee of SociaUsm, who wrecks his life and sacrifices the 
 welfare of his family. His daughter's love for a humble but heroically unselfish character, 
 and his tragic death, are the chief matters of the domestic drama, and his ill-assorted 
 household furnish comic relief. [6s., Smith & Elder.]

 Ostensibly the memoirs written by himself of Sarel Erasmus, nominal author of the amusing 
 satire on Boer officialdom, Prinsloo of Prinsloosdorp (3s. 6d., is., MacLeay). An ironical 
 narrative, satirizing Boer character in the persons of those rogues and skulkers who fought 
 for their country from various discreditable motives. Sarel the law-agent, his brother the 
 horse-stealer, the traitor Andries Brink, and the humorous Paul du Plooy, are made to 
 depict their own characters. Ben Viljoen and Joubert are drawn with generous apprecia- 
 tion. [6s., Blackwood.]

 Three ghost-story books and a novel deaUng cleverly with occult and ghastly themes, by 
 methods at times simply blood-curdhng, at others employing aU the craft of a mental

 Sherlock Holmes who unravels a lot of absurd mysteries by the aid of " psychometry." 
 A Suspicious Gift in the first book, and The Willows, Max Hensig, and May Day Eve in the 
 other collection are good examples of the genre. [Ea. 6s., Nash; (3) $1.50, Luce, Boston.]

 1903 
 
 Paints the inhabitants of a Marshland village as a set of lazy, drunken, vicious sots, with 
 nothing above the brutes but low cunning and hypocritical devotion to church or chapel — 
 a picture as ugly as La Terre, though executed without unpleasant grossness. A London

 The Perils of Pine's Place. 1911 
 
 The incidents are furnished by a vast SociaUst plot and its collapse, and the writer's animus 
 against the government and eulogistic portrait of the country's greatest soldier detracts 
 from the purely literary interest. But amends are made by the sound characterization 
 of the men and women of the story, their love affairs and other personal matters. [6s.,

 a bushranger, in prison awaiting death, tells his story from the critical moment when the 
 convict showed his children the hiding-place of the stolen cattle, through incident after 
 incident to the final tragedy. Depicts bad and good characters as they are, with no 
 sentimentaJism and Uttle extenuation. [3s. 6d. ($1.25), Macmillan.]

 [3s. 6d. ($1.25), Macmillan.] 
 
 A Colonial Reformer. 1890

 Bourne, George. The Bettesworth Book : Talks with a Surrey Peasant. 1901 
 
 Memoirs of a Surrey Labourer : a Record of the Last Years of Frederick 
 
 Bettesworth. 1907 
 
 Not novels, except that art has given to an actual document a truth superior to mere fact. 
 " Bettesworth " was one of the poorest class of country labourers, a man quite uneducated, 
 but of real personal worth, and, in spite of his ignorance of things outside his own small 
 world, possessed of shrewdness, wisdom, and no little native wit. Mr. Bourne, his employer 
 in the last years of his life, writes down his sajdngs and doings in a patient, Boswelllan 
 journal, adorning them in no way except by making the grammar and dialect a little more 
 intelligible. What art he applies is in sketching the surroundings of the man and his petty 
 traits of character in a graphic and feeling way. Hence the book has a truth different, if 
 not superior, to the most realistic work of fiction. Its evidences of the patient suffering, 
 the stoical endurance, and the inextinguishable courage and charity of a fine relic of our 
 ancient peasantry, touch one's heart and enlarge one's sense of kindred with a power of 
 homely pathos few books achieve, [(i) 2s. 6d. n., Lamley; (2) 2s. 6d. n., Duckworth]

 I Will Maintain. 1910 
 
 [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Dutton, New York.] 
 
 Exuberant historical stories, artless, lurid, emotional, and often quite subversive of historical 
 truth, but certainly absorbing as romances, and settUng down to a more serious interpreta- 
 tion of the past in the later books. The Viper of Milan [6d. n., Amalg. Press] is of the 
 Italian renaissance ; The Glen 0' Weeping [6d., Amalg. Press] tells about the Glencoe 
 massacre ; The Sword Decides [is. n., Greening] relates the crimes of Giovanna of Naples.

 The adventures of an ingenious and ingenuous Chinaman among rogues and thieves and more 
 roguish mandarins, and the wonderful tales he tells to get himself out of difficulties when 
 captured by brigands. The stilted talk is an amusing travesty of Chinese ways of speaking 
 and thinking, and the superstitious, hypocritical courtesy and other celestial foibles are 
 similarly burlesqued. Rich in sound aphorisms. [6s., Richards ; $1.50, Page, Boston.]

 problem of love and friendship that borders on tragedy. [6s., Murray.] 
 
 Broughton, Rhoda [6. 1840]. Cometh up as a Flower. 1867 
 
 An innocent, impulsive girl loves a handsome soldier, but has to marry a rich husband to 
 bolster up the family finances. A simple, melancholy story of disappointed passion, 
 related by the heroine herself and written in a way that is really the perfection of art. 
 The clear and appropriate style, the quiet touches by which the character-drawing is 
 done, the Uvely fancy and the humour of this first are constant features of Miss Broughton's 
 novels. [2s., Macmillan ; $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Not Wisely, but too Well. 1867 
 
 A girl of loving disposition throws away her heart upon an unworthy man — a muscular 
 libertine of the Guy Livingstone type — and when life becomes intolerably dreary, she 
 almost succumbs to a great temptation and never rises from the conflict. [2s., Macmillan ; 
 $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — Red as a Rose is She. 1870 
 
 The heroine is a very human mixture of truth and folly, self-respect and cowardice, qualities 
 that cause the bitter and the sweet vicissitudes of her love-story. Her deceptions are 
 paid for by suffering, and in the end she is restored to sincerity and happiness* [2s., 
 Macmillan ; |i, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — Good-bye, Sweetheart ! 1872 
 
 The story of a headstrong, coquettish, and often very foolish heroine, her casual conquests 
 and her love for a man who shares her passion, a love ruined by her own folly and ending 
 in her death. [2s., Macmillcin ; $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Broughton, Rhoda (continued). — Nancy. 1873 
 
 Depicts the merry, undisciplined life of a neglected family of youngsters, with a selfish and 
 indifferent father, among whom Nancy grows up an unkempt, but generous and faithful 
 girl. Then we see her married, a fine example of womanhood, with a worthy husband. 
 Her innocent imprudence is partly the cause of some episodes of scandal and jealousy. 
 [2S., Macmillan ; $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Joan. 1876 
 
 Joan is a gracious and sweet-tempered girl, brought up in refinement and then sent to Uve 
 
 with a family of good-natured but vulgar cousins. Her love-story runs far from smoothly, 
 but reaches happiness in the end. [2s., Macmillan ; 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 ■ Second Thoughts. 1880 
 
 The taming of a shrew — light comedy, with a varied series of character-sketches and a spice 
 of caricature in the poet Challoner. [2s., Macmillan ; 75c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 BeHnda. 1883 
 
 Belinda, outwardly cold and impassive, burning with concealed passion, is on the verge of 
 stooping to folly, but is saved in time. A rather more complicated story than the fore- 
 going ; a number of characters, who furnish comic effect, e.g. the vulgarly ironical Sarah, 
 her grandmother and her dogs. Scene, Dresden. [2s., Macmillan ; $1, Appleton, New 
 York.] 
 
 Doctor Cupid. 1886 
 
 Goes deeper than usual in the psychological treatment of character. A group of love affairs, 
 prosperous or the reverse, principally those of two sisters, one of whom dies. [2s., Mac- 
 millan ; 50C., 25c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 A Beginner. 1894 
 
 An unsophisticated young lady writes anonymously a novel which is branded as improper 
 and causes a world of embarrassment among relatives, friends, and lovers. A comic 
 episode, with light ridicule of the provincial reviewer and other varieties of the genus 
 critic. [2s., Macmillan ; $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Game and the Candle. 1899 
 
 A somewhat cynical story of a woman's passion and disillusionment ; the characters drawn 
 with Miss Broughton's wonted candour and effervescent satire. r2s., Macmillan ; $1, 
 Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Foes-in-Law. 1900 
 
 The same congenial theme as several of her earher novels — the varied Ufe of a large family 
 of young people and the strained relations between various members. Two sisters-in- 
 law head the hostile forces, a pair of well-contrasted characters, whose mutual influence 
 and gradual progress to a better understanding are related with sprightly humour. [2s. 
 ($1.50), Macmillan.] 
 
 — Lavinia. 1902 
 
 The central situation rather painful — Lavinia out of gratitude to her guardian-uncle sacrifices 
 her love. Comic relief is furnished by the satirical sketches of a paruenue and her senti- 
 mental daughter and of a bevy of too frank children. [2s., Macmillan.] 
 
 — A Waif's Progress. 1905 
 
 A clever if not a particularly edifying story. The waif is a charming young person, the daughter 
 of a hard-drinking sportsman and a coquettish mother, and herself a baggage. Her relations 
 with an ill-assorted married pair make an interesting story, not without comedy. [2s. 
 ($1.50), Macmillan.] 
 
 — Mamma. 1909 
 
 A comedy in the ironical mood, a sort of feminine pendant to Meredith's Egoist. Mamma is 
 a spoiled old lady, who with exquisite grace and amiability makes her children helots 
 and their lives a burden. An admirable example in its details of Miss Broughton's poUshed 
 technique and of her humorous insight. [6s., Macmillan.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Brown, G. B. [" George Douglas " ; 1869-1902]. The House with the Green 
 Shutters. 1901 
 
 A violent antidote to the sentimentality of the Kailyard novel, showing the grim and ugly 
 side of life in a small Scottish township, the hatred and jealousy, the brutality, hypocrisy, 
 and slander that are ineradicable traits of the supposed worthies. The gradual collapse 
 and catastrophe of the bullying Gourlay and his family is dramatized on strict classical 
 lines, and our sympathies are left with the victim of his own folly, the only figure having 
 any strength or dignity. The others are a hbel on human nature, [yd. n., Nelson ; $1.50, 
 McClure, New York.]

 [Ea. 6s., Duckworth; (4) $1.25, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 Mrs. Grundy's Crucifix. 1906 
 
 Well-constructed novels of the kind that illustrate a point of view, satirizing the self -righteous- 
 ness and half-unconscious hypocrisy that cloak the real heartlessness and the greedy 
 appetite for scandal of upper middle-class society, the society which sits in the best pews, 
 subscribes ostentatiously to missions, presides over charity bazaars. Intent on showing 
 up one aspect of human nature, the writer falls at times into caricature ; yet many of his 
 figures are drawn with memorable truth and fairness, a good few with the happiest humour, 
 and his books leave the conviction that fine feeling and noble character are still to be found 
 in the world. [6s., Hutchinson,] 
 
 The Glory and the Abyss. 1910 
 
 Draws and differentiates with great skill the members of a peasant family in Sussex, the ■ 
 brother, Peter Bonoor, of two sisters who have been seduced by the squire's villainous son 
 being a memorable character. The author's portraiture of the gentlefolk is as biting as in 
 Mrs. Grundy's Crucifix, but not quite so successful. [6s., Chapman ; $1.25 n., Dutton, 
 New York.] 
 
 Mayfield. 1911 
 
 A faithless husband, a good and patient wife, a deserving lover, and the difficulties of divorce 
 as regards the poor. [6s., Chapman.]

 [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Stories of the sea, into which Mr. BuUen works his vast experience of life on the ocean, his 
 observation of everything alive, and his strong religious sense of character. Sea Puritans 
 is the romance of the life of Admiral Blake, and comprises many moving scenes of action 
 ashore and afloat in the stirring days of the Commonwealth (1643-57). Mr. BuUen's 
 favourite theme is the simple one of a lad's rise to manhood in the mercantile marine. 
 Confessions of a Tradesman is partly autobiography. 
 
 Bullock, Shan F. [b. 1865]. Ring o' Rushes. 1897 
 
 Sketches of real life among Irish peasants. In His Magnificence an enriched peasant returns 
 to his native village and tries to show off his grandeur, but is deservedly humbled by a 
 poor woman. Her Soger Boy recounts a mother's innocent fraud and her soldier lad's 
 savage retaUation. Rogue Bartley masquerades as a man of property and " spoils the 
 Egyptians." [2s., is. 6d., Ward & Lock; %i. Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 The Barrys. 1899 
 
 Bescriptions of life in the author's native Fermanagh, with its strange conditions, and faithful 
 studies of contrasted character. Frank Barry, the most living, is one of those emotional 
 people who seem able to love, sincerely and, in a way, faithfully, two women at once ; 
 his character is thrown into relief against the sterling qualities of the peasantry. [6s., 
 Harper ; $1.25, Boubleday, New York.] 
 
 Irish Pastorals. 1901 
 
 Sympathetic and patriotic sketches of peasant life in Cavan, convejdng a very strong impression

 Presbyterians of Gorteen remind one of the stiff-necked people in the New England 
 novels of Miss Wilkins. [is., Methuen ; $1.50, McClure, New York.]

 scenes of emotional stress. The first of a series of Hugoesque romances, which strive to

 ' Scenes, events, and minor characters are strange and bizarre ; even Nature provides, 
 I as a fitting accompaniment, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes for the sensational events. 
 [6s., 2s., Heinemann ; $1.50, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 -— — The Scapegoat. 1891 
 
 Here the favourite thesis of atonement is illustrated in a semi-poetic romance of Jewish Hf e in 
 Morocco. Israel Ben Ohel cleanses himself from the guilt of a tyrannical and extortionate 
 life by abandoning his dignities amidst the jeers of the populace, and living the life of a 
 John the Baptist in the wilderness. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Manxman. 1894 
 
 Theme, a good young man's surrender to passion, and the retribution falling on himself and 
 others. Left in chaarge of his friend's sweetheart, he betrays the trusting and simple- 
 minded Pete. Remorse drives him to confess, and the magnanimous victim actually 
 smoothes the way for his betrayer to marry the divorced heroine. [6s., 2S., Heinemann ; 
 $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Christian. 1897 
 
 An attempt to survey the religious life of contemporary London. Two passionate and sensuous 
 beings are the exponents of the thought ; and as the emotional interest of the story of 
 their loves and estrangements becomes keener, the philosophic purpose is wellnigh lost 
 sight of in the violent play of motive and passion. [6s., 2s., is., Heinemann ; $1.50, Apple- 
 ton, New York.] 
 
 The Eternal City. 1901 
 
 A stiU more ambitious propagandist romance, the moral, religious, and political tendencies 
 of the contemporary world being typified in the life of Rome and Italy. Personal interest 
 centres in the loves of two characteristic figures, the Tolstoyan Socialist Rossi, " a noble, 
 natural man " endowed with irresistible energy, and the beautiful Roma, who atones 
 for early frailty by heroic devotion. Plot resembles his previous melodramas, wildly

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 improbable and visionary, the sequence of events being carried down to a.d. 1950, when a 
 new Republic has been established with the Lord's Prayer as its charter. An immense 
 prodigality of detail, vigorous theatrical scenes, and an incessant flow of sentiment and 
 emotion, pages of oratory, highly wrought and highly coloured descriptions, impress the 
 reader's mind at the expense of artistic unity. [6s., Heinemann ; ?i.50, 50c., Appleton,

 About an immensely valuable ruby, and the plots and counterplots of which it is the occasion

 A collection of stories mostly of the grim sort that we associate with Poe. An Eddy on the

 between these, [is. n., Methuen ; $1.25, Doubleday, New York.]

 The Star Dreamer is a young baronet whose heart has been turned to gall by a love crime. 
 He shuts himself up in his tower and studies the stars. Into this lonely life comes the 
 daughter of his kinsman, an old alchemist and collector of simples. They love, but almost 
 insuperable obstacles confront them. The characters are quaint, their surroundings

 Action. 1900 
 
 Five stories, mostly related by an eccentric observer of the minds and emotions of men and 
 women, with his interesting comments. Chiefly fantastic or ultra-romantic stories of 
 unruly passion, remorse, etc. The Death Dance is a spirited tale of the war in Hungary in 
 1849, and Endymion in Barracks a psychological sketch of a dreamer who takes to the 
 soldier's Ufe. [6s., Macmillan ; $1.25, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 Chamier, George. Philosopher Dick : see p. 162, sub voc. Anon. 
 
 Charlton, Randal. Mave. 1906 
 
 A tragedy of insensate primordial passion, enacted in some country place, forest-girt, in some 
 past time, apparently the eighteenth century. Mave is an innocent and ignorant child, 
 who loves divinely because her lover is her God. But misfortunes separate them ; and 
 meanwhile Mave's beauty rouses in a grave ascetic, a thinker absorbed in books and 
 theory, such passions as hurl him into folly, insanity, murder. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Virgin Widow. 1908 
 
 A sombre tale from beginning to end, apparently of the time of William IV. A man's pas- 
 sionate, undivulged love, a mysterious murder, a woman's perjury for a man who she 
 thinks is in love with her, and her tragic death. [6s., Methuen.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Chesterton, Gilbert Keith [b. 1873]. The Napoleon of Notting Hill. 1904 
 
 Picturesque extravaganza — the hero revives the heroic days of feudalism and chivalry, and 
 wages bloody war in the streets of Notting Hill. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 The Club of Queer Trades. 1905 
 
 Every member of this grotesque Club has to invent a new way of making his living, the results 
 being mildly diverting. [6s. ($1.25), Harper.] 
 
 The Man who was Thursday. 1908 
 
 Doings of a mysterious brotherhood akin to Stevenson's Suicide Club. [6s., Lane; $1.50, 
 Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Ball and the Cross. 191Q 
 
 Another paradoxical fantasy of London life, the starting-point of which is the arrival of 
 Lucifer in an airship, from which a holy man from Bulgaria alights on the ball of St. 
 Paul's. [6s., Wells Gardner; $1.50, Lane, New York.] 
 
 The Innocence of Father Brown. 1911 
 
 Rather original detective stories. Father Brown, who plays Sherlock Holmes, is a different 
 sort of being, his intellectual talisman being simply the Chestertonian subtlety of insight 
 into the ordinary mind. [6s., Cassell ; $1.30, Lane, New York.] 
 
 Cholmondeley, Mary. Sir Charles Dan vers. 1889 
 
 A plot-novel, reviving as hero a character from an earlier novel. The Danvers Jewels. Satire 
 against stupid conventions and stupid people, who figure in plenty, often dropping into 
 caricature. The writer's strength is not in portraying individuals, but in the dramatic 
 presentation of universal emotions. [2s., Macmillan ; $1, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Diana Tempest. 1893 
 
 In an unwary moment a ruined uncle is tempted into a bet that launches a series of murderous 
 plots against his rich nephew. His helpless and remorseful suspense, the peril of his 
 victim, and the melodramatic justice that falls on his own son, are the sensational elements 
 of the story. Then we get the hero's chequered love affairs, social scenes more or less 
 satirical, and varied phases of character. Diana is a high-spirited girl, superior to the 
 petty ambitions of fashionable life, who rejects wealth rather than honour. [6s., Mac- 
 millan ; $1.50, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Red Pottage. 1899 
 
 Strong in the psychology of motive and conduct in arbitrary and exacting circumstances. 
 The initial situation of a very dramatic plot results from a duel by casting lots and the 
 guilty man's failure to carry out the sentence on himself. Censures religious savagery 
 and other kinds of humbug, and caricatures a narrow-minded parson and some pseudo- 
 literary people, [is. n., Hodder ; ?i.50. Harper, New York.] 
 
 Prisoners — Fast Bound in Misery and Iron. 1906 
 
 Like all Miss Cholmondeley's novels, this is a romantic situation grounded and worked out on 
 a sound basis of character. An innocent man suffers imprisonment (in Italy) for murder, 
 in order to shield the charming but selfish woman whom he loves ; and she keeps silence.

 Clarke, Mrs. S. M. S. [nee Pereira]. The Duke's Page. 1901 
 
 The short, brilliant, and somewhat incomprehensible career of Maurice, Duke (and afterwards 
 
 Elector) of Saxony, from his accession to the dukedom to his death (i53i-53)- Other 
 
 characters introduced are Charles V and his ministers Alva and Granvella, Luther and 
 
 Carlowitz, Mary and EUzabeth Tudor. [2s. 6d., Nisbet.] 
 
 " Cleeve, Lucas " [Mrs. Kingscote, wee Wolff ; i. 1908]. As the Twig is Bent. 1901 
 A good example of this author's fiction, which portrays some of the least admirable phases of 
 modem, society. Here we are introduced to the company of shady financiers, whose ways 
 are exposed with intimate knowledge of technical detail. How a young man of good 
 impulses grew up through the influence of surroundings and associates to be an accom- 
 pUshed swindler, and how after all he was reformed through love. [6s., Digby & Long.] 
 
 Free Soil, Free Soul. 1903 
 
 Boston, temp. George II ; England, temp. Horace Walpole; the earthquake of Lisbon, etc. 
 (1755). Love-story of a girl of humble origin, who saves her lover's life, and becomes 
 Lady Frankland. Not devoid of anachronisms. [6s., Digby & Long.] 
 
 — Our Lady of Beauty. 1904 
 
 A good character-picture of Agnes Sorel, " saviour of France," mistress of Charles VII. The 
 atmosphere of the times is not caught (1431-50). [6s., Digby & Long.] 
 
 Cleland, Robert. Inchbracken. 1883 
 
 A simple story presenting intimate views of Mfe and manners in a parish near the Highland 
 border at the time of the Disruption and the formation of the New Kirk. A young minister 
 is the central person ; round him are grouped his relatives, the members of his congrega- 
 tion, etc. [23., Wilson & M'Cormack, Glasgow.] 
 
 Clifford, Sir Hugh \b. 1866]. In a Corner of Asia. 1899 
 
 Eight sympathetic stories of native hfe in the Malay Peninsula, by one who knows it intimately. 
 A fierce and lawless state of things is portrayed, elemental tragedies, village idylls, stories 
 of dacoity and superstition. A favourite specimen is KUlop SUmbing. [2s., is. 6d., Unwin.] 
 
 Bush Whacking ; and other Sketches. 1901 
 
 Brief, realistic sketches of hard life in distant places. They bring one into touch with heroic 
 and elemental things — the struggles of civil servants and other Britishers, of French 
 missionaries, and the like, with untoward circumstances ; native life in Malaysia, etc. 
 [6s., Blackwood.] Sally, a Study (1904) and Saleh, a Sequel (1908) are about a young 
 Malay prince, educated in England, who realizes the futility of his attempted Euro- 
 peanization and goes back to his native land. [Ea. 6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 The Downfall of the Gods. 1903 
 
 A romanticized version of the overthrow of the Khmer empire of Cambodia (13th cen- 
 tury), the violation of the temples, the expulsion and massacre of the Brahmans, and the 
 subsequent anarchy. Sir Hugh tries to concentrate the glamour and insensate passion of the 
 East in the unbridled desire of the insurgent Chun for a beautiful slave of the temple, and 
 the violent tragedy which is the consummation. [6s., Murray; $1.50, Dutton, New York.] 
 
 A Free-Lance of To-day. 191 1 
 
 The Free-Lance is a young Englishman who goes on a gun-running expedition into Acheh, 
 meets with adventures, and is strongly tempted to denationalize himself and settle down 
 among the Malays. On its more serious side the book is a study of the Malayan character 
 as compared with the European, the terrible example of a renegade Englishman, a witch- 
 doctor, pointing the moral. [6s., Methuen.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Clifford, Mrs. W. K. [nee Lane]. Mrs. Keith's Crime. 1885 
 
 A novel developing a state of mind, a certain individual's view of human life and of right and 
 wrong, without plot or much incident. A loving mother, dying of a disease that has 
 also attacked her child, fearful of leaving her little one to the harsh mercies of the world, 
 ends its Ufe by giving it an overdose. [2s., is. 6d., Unwiu ; %i. Harper, New York.] 
 
 Love-Letters of a Worldly Woman. 1891 
 
 Three suites of letters — A Modern Correspondence, Letters of a Worldly Woman, On the Wane — 
 
 each setting forth the history of an affair of the heart from the woman's point of view, 
 very frank in their avowal of feminine passion, strength and weakness, and deft in dis- 
 playing character. One-sided, of course ; the women, whether weak or strong, appearing 
 as in all respects superior to their lovers, who are either Philistines, incapable of the finer 
 feelings, or Turks, who exploit them in the most cold-blooded selfishness. [6s., Arnold ; 
 $r.25. Harper, New"York; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 Aunt Anne. 1892 
 
 A domestic novel, centred in one character, the pathetic Aunt Anne, an old and wrinkled 
 woman, sentimental and foolish as a young girl ; poor, yet extravagant, and lavish with 
 her gifts ; a curious blending of diverse human features. [6s., Macmillan ; ?i.25. Harper. 
 New York.] 
 
 A Woman Alone : three Stories. 1901 
 
 The first and most important is the curious and sombre history of an ill-assorted marriage 
 between a reserved and selfish Enghsh gentleman and an enthusiastic and ambitious 
 Hungarian. The first of the two sketches that follow is comic. [3s. 6d., Methuen ; $1, 
 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Sir George's Objection. 1910 
 
 A pretty love-tale, with Maggiore and the mountains for its setting. Sir George's objection 
 is to his son's marrying a girl whose father had died in prison. The end reached is a 
 happy one, however, and the people whose characters sustain the drama are of a very 
 wholesome and attractive kind. [2s. n.. Nelson.] 
 
 Clouston, J. Storer [6. 1870]. The Duke. 1900 
 
 A modem high-society farce. A young duke, instead of entering on his inheritance, allows 
 an eccentric Irishman to assume the ducaj role for a mouth. [6s., Arnold; $1.25, Long- 
 man, New York.] 
 
 Count Bunker. 1906 
 
 Another absurdity in a conventional modem environment. [6s., ?x.25, Brentano, New York.]

 Life on the Cornish coast and in the lighthouse at the end of the eighteenth century. [3s. 6d.,

 abolition of serfage in Prussia (1807), etc. [3s. 6d., Wells Gardner.] 
 
 Cobb, Thomas [b. 1854]. The Judgment of Helen. 1899 
 
 A social comedy in one act, a matchmaker outwitted by her two prot6g4es : plot and motives 
 developed by means of dialogue, which, like the story, is light and frothy. [6s. ($1.50), 
 Lane.] 
 
 Scruples. 1900 
 
 A drawing-room comedy of manners, with a group of hesitating characters entangled in a 
 mesh of love at cross-purposes. The story of the heroine's scruples and the final dinoue- 
 ment is told by means of coruscating dialogue. [3s. 6d., Richards; $1.25, Lane, New 
 York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Cobb, Thomas (continued). — ^The Dissemblers. 1900 
 
 A trite dilemma of courtship — two lovers being hurried by a compromising incident into a 
 premature engagement — worked out with the stage play of a regular comedy. [6s. ($1.50), 
 Lane.] 
 
 Severance. 190 1 
 
 A similar drawing-room comedy, a little broader in effects than the foregoing. Misunder- 
 standings in courtship and married life are the motives. As usual, there is hardly any 
 character-drawing. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 — The Bishop's Gambit. 1901 
 
 Various complications threaten disaster to the love affairs of the Bishop's two daughters, 
 but are cleared up in the course of the plot. [6s., Richards : o.p.]

 [6s., Rivers.] 
 
 The Anger of Ohvia. 1910 
 
 [6s., Mills & Boon.] 
 
 Similar comedies unfolded by means of hght and nimble dialogue, free from sentimentality 
 and with the barest suggestion of character-drawing. 
 
 Cobban, James IVEacLaren. The Red Sultan. 1893 
 
 A novel of action, laid in Morocco, and rich in local colour (1789-92). The Sultan is supposed 
 to be half Irish. [3s. 6d., Chatto ; 75c., Rand & M'Nally, Chicago.] 
 
 The Angel of the Covenant. 1898 
 
 Handles in a different way the historical characters and incidents dealt with in Scott's Legend 
 of Montrose and Neil Munro's John Splendid — the story of Montrose and the Cavaliers 
 in their strife with the Presbyterians (1629-41). [6s., Methuen ; 50c., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 The Golden Tooth. 1901 
 
 A detective story, deaUng with the search for a murderer, with thrilling episodes, and more 
 characterization than is usual in this class of book. [6s., Digby & Long ; $1.25, Buckles, 
 New York.]

 Coke, Desmond [continued). — The School Across the Road. 1909 
 
 [5s., Frowde.] 
 
 Beauty for Ashes. 1910 
 
 [6s., Chapman.] 
 
 Stories chiefly of school and university life, the first a parody of the conventional Oxford 
 novel, the second an admirable story of Shrewsbury School, which brought Mr. Coke 
 into notice. The third novel gives a view of undergraduate life at Oxford through the 
 eyes of a 'varsity man who has become a Society entertainer. The Golden Key deals with 
 character as moulded by the entry on work and business. All these novels convey an 
 intimate reading of character in boys and men in the prime of life, and realistic 
 pictures of the many aspects of 'school and college, the clubs, debates, friendships, enter- 
 tainments, and the intellectual and emotional currents of life, with plenty of comedy and 
 now and then a touch pf pathos.

 CoLLiNGWOOD, W. G. \h. 1854]. Thorstein of the Mere : a Saga of the Northmen 
 in Lakeland. 1895 
 
 In style, an imitation of the Sagas ; in matter, a restoration of the history of Cumberland 
 and Westmorland in the tenth century, when the Northmen had settled there, and, 
 allied with the decadent Welsh, a few Gaelic stragglers, and the Scottish kings, were 
 resisting the encroaching Saxon. The battle of Brunanburh (a.d. 937) is a dramatic 
 incident. Old place-names, archaeological remains, local traditions, and a certain amount 
 of ascertained history, with a plentiful leavening of fancy, are wrought into a romance 
 of the eponymous hero of Coniston Water or Thurston's Mere. [los. 6d., Arnold.]

 A leisurely novel of conventional design, giving life-like pictures of country-house society

PRESENT DAY 
 
 CoMPTON, Herbert E. (continued). — The Inimitable Mrs. Massingham. 1900 
 
 A romance of Gretna Green, with a beautiful country girl as heroine, who later becomes a 
 favourite actress. The streets and inhabitants of bygone London, and life on a convict ship 
 and at Botany Bay are vigorously depicted from authentic records (1799). [3s. 6d., 
 Chatto.]

 Caroline of Brunswick and the Prince Regent (George IV) (1810). [6s., Treheme : o.p.]

 Full of excitement. A story of Queen Caroline, for whom the author holds a brief (1796-1821) . 
 [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 CoNDER, Arthur R. The Seal of Silence. 1901 
 
 A comedy by a young Oxford man, who died just before the issue of this, his first and only

 The history of a European married to a Malayan wife, who reverts to her ancestral savagery. 
 He hves a miserable hfe among the fierce Malays and Dyaks of Borneo, and the tragedy 
 culminates when his beloved daughter forsakes him to marry a savage. The awful effect 
 on the mental and moral nature of the soUtude and the contact with savagery is brought 
 out with intense imaginative skill, [is. n., Nash ; $1.25, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 P 209 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Conrad, Joseph {continued). — The Nigger of "The Narcissus." 1897 
 
 An account of the voyage home from India in an old-fashioned saihng ship. A wonderfully 
 realistic description of rough seafaring life, by one who has been a seaman, and has more- 
 over a poetic imagination. The description of a storm rivals the finest performances of 
 Loti. The unfortunate negro and the rest of the ship's crew are striking characters 
 portrayed with a deep sense of humanity and not without strokes of comedy, [is. n., 
 Heinemann.] 
 
 Tales of Unrest. 1898 
 
 The two little dramas, Karain and The Lagoon, and the grisly tale, An Outpost of Progress, 
 illustrate the fierce tropical character of the Malay. The Return is a conjugal tragedy of 
 civilized English life, a psychological study of the disastrous collision between two incom- 
 patible temperaments. [6s., Unwin ; $1.25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Lord Jim. • 1900 
 
 A brave young officer in the mercantile navy loses his head in a moment of dire emergency 
 and is cashiered. His weak point is a too vivid imagination. In a career of self-devotion 
 and heroic adventure among the savages of Malaysia he strives to rebuild his shattered 
 self, the higher self that was his ideal and his criterion. Sentimental descriptions of 
 nature akin to Loti's, along with microscopic analysis like that of Henry James. [6s., 
 Blackwood; $1.50, Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 Youth ; and other Tales. 1902 
 
 The officer in the mercantile marine who tells these three yams to a pair of friends is a man 
 of men's imagination, who looks at the real significajice of the episodes he recounts, 
 regards them as histories of souls. Youth is from his own life, the story of his voyage 
 to the East in a cofi&n ship, a sustained struggle with the sea, with accidents in port 
 and with a burning cargo, a story steeped in the glamour of youth and the glamour of the 
 sea. Heart of Darkness interprets, in the same imaginative way, the unutterable gloom and 
 strangeness and isolation of a European's life among West African savages. The End 
 of the Tether is a longer story, but hardly so characteristic of Mr. Conrad's genius. [6s., 
 Blackwood; $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 Typhoon ; and other Stories. 1903 
 
 Four stories of intermediate length — " long-short " — all more or less nautical. Typhoon is one 
 
 of the great descriptions of a ship in a storm in any literature, equal at least in its tre- 
 mendous actuality to the famous narrative in Loti's Mon Frere Yves, and superior in its 
 characteristic subjectivity. Amy Footer is a grim analysis of fundamental incompatibihty 
 between a commonplace girl and a strange, imaginative waif who becomes her husband. 
 Folk and To-morrow are shorter stories illustrating Mr. Conrad's humour as well as his 
 tragic power. [6s., Heinemann ; $1 n., Putnam, New York.] 
 
 Nostromo : a Tale of the Seaboard. 1904 
 
 Brilliant episodes of adventure and daring exploit in the revolutionary broils and the subsequent 
 regeneration of a S. American republic, loosely connected into a long story, in which 
 the man of action, Nostromo, a rich Englishman, and his admirable wife, an old Gari- 
 baldian, brigands, politicians, adventurers, and others make a motley crowd of personages. 
 The method reahstic, the whole atmosphere and effect ultra-romantic. [6s. (I1.50), 
 Harper.] 
 
 The Secret Agent : a Simple Tale. 1907 
 
 A new kind of detective novel. The story of a notorious attempt to blow up Greenwich 
 Observatory, told in Mr. Conrad's peculiar way, the personality and mental atmosphere of 
 the secret agent and the concatenation of motives that bring about the attempt being 
 anatomized with almost painful actuality. A remarkable glimpse of a hidden phase of 
 London life. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 A Set of Six. 1908 
 
 Characterized by the author as " romantic, ironic, indignant, desperate, military, and pathetic." 
 One, The Brute, is a sea yarn, the others deal with S. American revolutionaries, anarchists, 
 informers, two officers of Napoleon, and the last with an invalid who flies from a Neapolitan 
 assassin only to die in an inhospitable climate. The usual close analysis of states of mind, 
 especially abnormal nervous phenomena. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Conrad, Joseph {continued). — Under Western Eyes. 1911 
 
 Undertakes for the benefit of the Western reader to interpret Russian feelings and ways of 
 thought from the inside. The people anatomized are a circle of political refugees and 
 plotters in Genoa, and the pathology of crime, fear, distrust, and treachery is worked out 
 with something of Dostoyevski's gloomy strength and insight into the secrets of the 
 human soul. One rare figure, that of NataUa Haldin, is a welcome relief to the more 
 sombre and repulsive elements of character so remorselessly presented. [6s., Methueu ; 
 $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Conrad, Joseph, and F. M. Hueffer. The Inheritors : an Extravagant Story, igoi 
 [6s., Heinemann; $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 Romance. 1903 
 
 An elaborate tissue of romantic adventures, about 1820, among smugglers in Kent, pirates 
 
 in the West Indies, and South American Spaniards, with splendid passages of description 
 and brilliant scenes — ^the work of two talented but not quite harmonious collaborators. 
 [6s., Smith & Elder; 7d. n., Nelson.] 
 
 CoNYERS, Dorothea. The Strayings of Sandy. 1906 
 
 One of a number of vivacious Irish stories, drawing chiefly on the society of hunting people, 
 
 horse-dealers, officers in garrison towns, spendthrift gentry, and happy-go-lucky peasants. 
 
 This is about what a London business man sees on a holiday on the West Coast. [6s., 
 
 IS. n., Hutchinson.] 
 
 For Henri and Navarre. 1911 
 
 The usual recital of derring-do, opening with the massacre of St. Bartholomew, and giving a 
 strong portrait of Henry IV. [6s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 Cooper, Edward Herbert [1867-1910]. The Monk Wins. 1900 
 
 A novel of the turf, with a rich young sportswoman for heroine, who keeps a stud and has 
 intimate dealings with trainers and bookmakers ; the dialogue appropriately enlivened 
 with slang and technical jargon. "The Monk" is a racehorse. [6s., Duckworth; $1.50, 
 Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 The Eternal Choice. 1901 
 
 Somewhat diffuse, turning on the marriage of an orthodox young man with an Agnostic. The 
 rehgious question is not dealt with very seriously, and the interest is rather in the sketches 
 of individual character, particularly those of two dehghtful children. [6s., Pearson.] 
 
 CoRBETT, Julian Stafford [b. 1854]. The Fall of Asgard: a Tale of St. Olaf's 
 
 Days. [juvenile] 1886 
 
 A modern romance in an historical framework, concerning the expulsion of the Norse gods by 
 
 the two Olafs who introduced Christianity into Norway (c. 1000-20). [2 vols.. 12s., 
 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 For God and Gold. [juvenile] 1887 
 
 Cambridge and West Indies, Drake (c. 1 5 58-73). The writer is an authority on practical naval 
 
 matters and naval history, which knowledge he utilizes well in these stories of action. 
 [2S. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 A Business in Great Waters. [juvenile] 1895 
 
 Sussex smugglers and French conspirators (c 1794-5). [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 CoRELLi, Marie. A Romance of Two Worlds. 1886 
 
 Tacks on to an ordinary novel of everyday life the gospel of electricity, which the writer pro- 
 fesses to be the outcome of her psychical experiences. This novel, with its spiritualizing 
 methods, or rather its materializing of spiritual things so as to bring them closer to common- 
 place experience, may be regarded as the type of a long series of fictions, of which the 
 more important are quoted below. [6s., Methuen ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 Vendetta : the Story of One Forgotten. 1886 
 
 Propagates the same theosophic creed of the ever-living spirit within each one of us, identified 
 
 later on with radio-activity. [6s., Methuen ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 211 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 CoEELLi, Marie (continued). — Thelma. 1887 
 
 Intended as " a love-story pure and simple," and a digression from her spiritualistic propa- 
 ganda. A romance of Norway and of English Society, full of elaborate description. Thelma 
 is supposed to be a daughter of Norse sea-kings, and to show her regal nature by ruUng as a 
 queen in society. [6s., Methuen ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 — Ardath : the Story of a Dead Self. 1889 
 
 A sequel to the Romance of Two Worlds ; in fact, these, with Vendetta, Lilith, Barabbas, and 
 The Master Christian, axe " all linked together by the one theory," and " are the result of a 
 deliberately conceived plan and intention." [6s., Methuen ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 — Wormwood. 1890 
 
 The horrors of absinthe-drinking in Paris are dealt with in the same transcendental manner. 
 [6s., Methuen ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 — The Soul of Lilith. 1892 
 
 [6s., Methuen ; 25c., American News.] 
 
 — Barabbas : a Dream of the World's Tragedy. 1893 
 
 A melodrama founded on the Gospel story of the betrayal and crucifixion of Christ. The 
 motives of Judas and Barabbas are attributed to sexual passion or patriotic zeal. Splendi- 
 ferous scenic accompaniments. [6s., Methuen; 5i, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 — The Sorrows of Satan. 1895 
 
 Another transcendental melodrama of modern life. The devil is hero, and it is sought to show 
 that he has a pathetic side. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 — The Mighty Atom. 1896 
 
 Protests against over-education and the folly of bringing up children without a religious belief. 
 The rich, vulgar, and tyrannical father, whose wife has left him, dismisses the first tutor 
 because he teaches the boy about God and immortaUty. The next tutor beheves in the 
 atom as the beginning of creation. But the boy's natural questioning about the why 
 and the wherefore of things is unsatisfied by such philosophy. He hangs himself in order 
 that he may see for himself whether a little friend has really gone to heaven. [3s. 6d., 
 Hutchinson; $1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 — The Master Christian. 1900 
 
 The dedication, " To those Churches who quarrel in the name of Christ," speaks for the book, 
 which is a clamorous invective against the Churches, especially the Roman and High Angli- 
 can, arraigning the clergy, though the chief character is a Cardinal. The finding of the 
 Christ-child by this unworldly priest outside Rouen Cathedral is a touching incident ; 
 henceforth " Manuel " attends the Cardinal regularly, and is at length brought into the 
 presence of the Pope. The plea is that the Church should reform her creed on scientific 
 lines and her ethics on SociaUstic. Multifarious incident and interspersed homilies.

 Perhaps these are described sufSciently by their titles, in the light of the foregoing notes. 
 The writer is an emotional lady who believes that she was sent into the world with a 
 mission — to inculcate her rather crude brand of theosophy, to fight against Romanizing 
 tendencies in the English Church, and show up moral abuses in general, [(i) 6s., Methuen ;

 Northborough Cross. 1901 
 
 Delineations of the manners and peculiarities of ecclesiastical society in a cathedral town, 
 animated apparently by a virulent disUke for the clergy, who, compared with the laity, 
 are represented as rotten and corrupt ; several of the characters are repulsive degenerates. 
 [6s., G., Allen.] 
 
 The Last Buccaneer ; or, The Trustees of Mrs. A. [juvenile] 1902 
 
 A story of concealed treasure on a pirate isle, " after" Stevenson's Treasure Island ; blood- 
 thirsty and unmitigated scoundrels and exciting adventures, with love interest to boot 
 {1708). [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 Captain Jacobus. [juvenile] 1902 
 
 Story of a Cavalier highwayman ; scenes, Salisbury, etc., and Holland (1655). [6s., Methuen ; 
 $1.50, Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 Cornish, Francis Warre [b. 1839]. Sunningwell. 1899 
 
 Manners and character in a minster town — " High Church " and " Broad Church." Dean, 
 curates, vergers, and the wives of the clergy present many humorous contrasts of character 
 and ways of thinking on religious and secular matters. Canon More's sayings are those 
 of a humorist and a thinker. [6s., Constable ; $1.50, Dutton, New York.] 
 
 Darwell Stories. 1910 
 
 Four longish stories, with an extra one by another hand which is a striking example of pure 
 objective reahsm. The characters are Midland or North Country rustics. Martha Frost's 
 Penance and The Stepping Stones are tragic, Darfield Hall and Widow Wildgoose comedies. 
 Interspersed are reflective essays on matters of taste and morals by Mr. Cornish's sensible 
 and scholarly pen. [6s., Constable.] 
 
 CossiNS, G. The Wings of Silence. 1899 
 
 An amusing story of AustraUan life ; the interest turning on a hidden treasure, and the com-

 Old World is shown as it appears to Transatlantic eyes. Recounts, with much facetious- 
 ness, the journey of two unprotected girls from America through Japan, India, Egypt, etc. 
 [7s. 6d., Chatto ; 75c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 An American Girl in London. 1891 
 
 Compares British conventionality with American freedom. The piquancy of the young lady's 
 comments on British manners and customs owes as much to her naive misunderstandings 
 as to the revelation of Transatlantic ways of thinking. [7s. 6d., Chatto ; 75c., Appleton, 
 New York.] 
 
 His Honour and a Lady. 1896 
 
 The comedy of Anglo-Indian social and of&cial Ufe. One Lieutenant-Governor falls a martyr 
 to his stubborn honesty, the next wins signal success because he is a consummate hypo- 
 crite. The chatter of ofi&cials' wives, the humours of class distinctions, the queer character 
 of the Baboo and his wonderful English are amusingly caught. [6s., MacmiUan ; $1.50, 
 Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — - A Voyage of Consolation. 1898 
 
 A sequel to An American Girl in London. Another jeu d' esprit of Transatlantic travel, an 
 American senator, his wife and daughter touring in Europe. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, 
 Appleton, New York.]

 Society, with an implied criticism from the American and Canadian standpoint. [6s., 
 Methuen ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 CoTTERELL, Constance. Love is Not so Light. 1898 
 
 A typical feminine novel, the chief quality being the smartness and aphoristic brightness of 
 the conversation, while the women characters are, in ideas and sentiments and in their 
 affectations, thoroughly up-to-date ladies. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Cotton, Albert Louis. The Company o± Death. 1905 
 
 The ten days' revolt in Naples against the Spanish domination {1647) ; the fisherman-dictator

 The Astonishing History of Troy Town. 1888 
 
 A burlesque account of certain doings in a quaint little seaport of Cornwall (Polperro, the 
 author's native place) . The characters are half-serious, half-farcical creations, not without 
 friendly digs of satire at some of the little cliques with their afiectations and absurdities. 
 Ending with a country courtship. [3s. 6d., Cassell.] 
 
 The Splendid Spur. Being Memoirs of the Adventures of Mr. John Marvel, 
 
 a servant of His late Majesty King Charles I in the year 1642-3. Written

 York.] 
 
 The Blue PaviUons. 1891 
 
 Harwich and Holland, chiefly in the year 1691 — a crowded episode in a young man's life. 
 Two dauntless old sea-captains, eccentric and humorous figures, who quarrel over the 
 guardianship of the hero, son of the woman they had loved and lost, are the most striking 
 figures ; the villain is an adventurer who has deahngs with all parties, including King 
 James at St. Germains ; and King William and the future Duke of Marlborough appear in 
 some humorous scenes. [5s., Cassell ; $1.25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 — I Saw Three Ships. 1892 
 
 A picturesque tale of the old times of wreckers and preventives on the Cornish coast, full of local 
 colour ; with some ghost stories and other sensations, the rustic humours obviously

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Couch, Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller- [continued). — Noughts and Crosses : Stories, 
 Studies, Sketches. 1893 
 
 Very diverse in scenes and characters, but nearly all far-fetched, bizarre, and even gruesome : 
 admirable in execution. Gabriel Foot, the self-related experience of a fantastic and unciajiny 
 criminal ; The Omnibus and Fortunio, incisive little etchings of character ; The Return 0/ 
 Joanna, From a Cottage in Troy, The Mayor of Gantick, etc., specimens of Cornish life, 
 humorous, grotesque, and oddly pathetic. Bleakirk-on- Sands, a Yorkshire story of a 
 madman, is horribly thrilling, and the Countess of Bellarmine makes a good companion 
 piece. The Magic Shadow is a weird little allegory. [5s., 2s. (50c.), Cassell.] 
 
 The Delectable Duchy : Stories, Studies, and Sketches. 1894 
 
 Scraps of legend, humour, romance, and tragedy of Cornish villages, country-folk and fisher- 
 men ; slightly connected, and told in such a manner as to seem as if the author merely 
 reported them. [5s., 2s., Cassell ; 75c., Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Wandering Heath. 1895 
 
 More short stories and sketches, racy of Cornish humanity and redolent of the past, f The RoH- 
 
 Call of the Reef is a ghostly fantasy, based on one of those terrible legends of foundered 
 
 warships which haunt the fatal coasts of the Lizard. Humorous sketches of village 
 
 poUtics and characteristic Letters from Troy (Polperrojfare among the contents. [5s., 
 
 / Cassell; $1.25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 la. 1896 
 
 la is a strong-natured and pretty Cornish girl who courts a young preacher : sketches of 
 manners and character among " the Elect," religious iisher-folk. [3s. 6d., Cassell ; 75c., 
 Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Ship of Stars. 1899 
 
 A desultory story with interesting episodes : the life of a Devon village lad, a dreamer who 
 develops into a strong and practical man. Scenes, Cornwall and Oxford. [3s. 6d., Cassell.] 
 
 Old Fires and Profitable Ghosts. 1900 
 
 Imaginative and artistic experiments in the ghost-story, chiefly of spirits returning to the 
 scenes of their human experience. The localities and the persons are mostly Cornish. 
 Once Aboard the Lugger is a kind of abridged la. Another impressive little drama is staged 
 among the Polar ice-floes, where some shipwrecked mariners, at the point of death, are 
 cheered by a comforting presence. [6s., Cassell ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Laird's Luck ; and other Fireside Tales. 1901 
 
 Five in number. Title story belongs to the same supernatural kind as those of the preceding 
 volume. The most considerable and the most striking recounts the adventures of two 
 scouts in the Peninsular War, one a Presbyterian, the other a Catholic, the radical differ- 
 ences of whose moral character are disclosed very dramatically. The others are various in 
 subject and period, and unequal in power, though all show masterly handhng of the short 
 story. Phoebus of Hahaphron, a legend of Apollo in Cornwall, suggested by the discovery 
 of relics of a temple, brings together in an artistic way Christian and pagan ideas. [6s., 
 Cassell; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Westcotes. 1902 
 
 Dorothea Westcote, aged thirty-seven, falls in love with a handsome French prisoner, fifteen 
 years her junior, and is cruelly awakened from her belated romance. A pathetic story, told 
 with a fine courtesy and delicacy that save it from touching the ridiculous. An old Devon- 
 shire country town in iSiois the scene, and some good old-fashioned characters, French and 
 . English, are among the personages. [3s. 6d. n., Arrowsmith ; $1, Coates, New York.] 
 
 The White Wolf ; and other Fireside Tales. 1902 
 
 Miscellaneous, the nautical stories either humorous or fanciful, the others sketches of tempera- 
 ment ; a ghost-story or two and more tales of Troy Town. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Scribner, 
 New York.]

 Peninsular War and the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo. [6s., Cassell ; $1.50, Scribner, New 
 York.] 
 
 Hetty Wesley. 1903 
 
 Combines fiction and biography. Hetty (1723-1803), the most gifted sister of the Wesleys, 
 was betrayed by a lover, and expiated her fall by marrying a clown — at least that is Q.'s 
 interpretation. He argues that the harsh Puritanism of her father, whose unbendmg 
 character is finely dramatized, contributed to her disaster. [6s., Harper; ^1.50, Mac- 
 millan, New York.] 
 
 — Fort Amity. 1904 
 
 From the British reverse at Ticonderoga to the repulse of the Americans before Quebec 
 (1758-75). Adventures of an English officer in a French station and among the Ojibways

 - ideal of honour. Makes romantic profit of the picturesque scenery and the warhke circum- 
 stance. [6s., Murray.] 
 
 — The Mayor of Troy. 1905 
 
 A farcical chapter in the annals of Troy Town — the deeds of the Troy Volunteer Artillery 
 during the Napoleonic scare of 1804. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.]

 Sterne. The heroic deeds of a quixotic gentleman in the expulsion of the Genoese and 
 the recovery of the crown of Corsica for Queen Emma (1756-60). [6s.-, Smith & Elder; 
 $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 — Poison Island. 1907

 ceived tale of a pair of fishermen. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — Major Vigoureux. 1907 
 
 A slight but amusing story of the Scilly Isles, with a fairy-tale motive, and an ingratiating 
 central character in the simple, chivalrous old soldier representing the obsolescent past.

 — True Tilda. 1909 
 
 The amazing adventures — told in a remarkably plausible way — of a Uttle circus-girl on tour- 
 not at all unlike parts of The Old Curiosity Shop, with a lot of picturesque and un- 
 expected people among the strolling players and those they meet. [6s., Arrowsmith, 
 Bristol; $1.50, Scribner, New York.]

 Episodes in a College of Noble Poverty, the most distinguished among the inhabitants 
 of which is the wise and scholarly bedesman. Brother [Copas. Into his mouth Q

 Young, New York.] 
 
 Creed, Sibyl. The Vicar of St. Luke's. 1901 
 
 A High-Church clergyman's attempts to introduce Ritualism, the open and the underhand 
 opposition of his parishioners, and his secession to Rome. Criticizes with great severity 
 the position of Anglo-Catholics. The character-drawing has power, e.g. the honest and un- 
 fortunate vicar, his two curates, and the hysterical girl who loves him and nearly works 
 his ruin. [6s. ($1.50), Longman.] 
 
 Crockett, Samuel Rutherford [6. i860]. The Stickit Minister ; and Some Common 
 Men. , 1893 
 
 A typical story-book of the Kailyard school. Stories, somewhat after the manner of Gait, 
 of Galloway villagers, largely in dialect. The work of the minister, and the doctrinal 
 discussions and criticisms of his flock are the theme of some. The Stickit Minister is an 
 example of patience and altruism, who gives up all his substance to his brother, and 
 makes no complaint when repaid with ingratitude. More sentiment and sentimental 
 description than either plot or character, with humour that Ues, as the author puts it, 
 " near the Fountain of Tears." Cleg Kelly makes his debut in two stories, [is. n., Unwin ; 
 $1.50, Macmillan, New York; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Crockett, Samuel Rutherford (continued). — The Raiders. 1894 
 
 The Dark o' the Moon : being certain further Histories of the Folk called 
 
 " Raiders " [sequel]. 1902 
 
 Melodramatic tales of fighting and smuggling on the Solway Moss and the Border (c. 1720-30). 
 Moss-troopers, smugglers, and gipsies furnish plenty of adventure and gruesome incident ; 
 and there is harrowing pathos in the episode of Willie, the child-martyr, and his mother. 
 [(i) IS. n., Unwin ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York; (2) 6s., Macmillan ; Si. 50, Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Lilac Sunbonnet. 1894 
 
 A characteristic specimen of the author's sentimental love-making. The rendering of Gallo- 
 way scenery and domestic life and character among humble people gives the story local 
 interest, [is. n., Unwin ; Si. 50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — Bog-Myrtle and Peat. 1895 
 
 Chiefly stories of Galloway, with a few going farther afield. In The Minister of Dour, an 
 'old-fashioned minister acts an heroic part, both in subjugating his lawless parishioners 
 and in fighting the plague. A Cry Across the Dark Water is a weird httle romance of the 
 Galloway Highlands — retribution falling at last on a false lover. Then come tales of 
 contemporary life in the villages and homesteads, with sentimental or sarcastic sketches 
 of homely character, among which Kit Kennedy, Ne'er-Do-Weel, makes his debut, and a 
 series of Tales of the Kirk in the rustic theological genre now so familiar. [6s., Sands ; 
 $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — The Men of the Moss-Hags. 1895 
 
 Episodes of the persecution of the Covenanters under Claverhouse (1679-80), the obverse of

 York.] 
 
 — Cleg Kelly, the Arab of the Streets. i8g6 
 
 Cleg is an Edinburgh street arab of Irish parentage, a boy of sharp and tenacious character, 
 staunch to his friends, a terror to his foes and theirs. His father is a criminal, and his 
 upbringing fits him for a life of roguery ; but the boy's escapades are the mere effervescence 
 of youthful energy, and he keeps straight in the main. His pranks and deeds of derring- 
 do are recounted with knowledge of the subtleties of boy nature and keen enjoyment 
 of the fun. When Edinburgh gets too hot to hold him, the scene shifts to a farm-house 
 in Galloway. [6s., Smith & Elder; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — The Grey Man. 1896 
 An exaggerated and melodramatic account of the deadly feuds of Galloway about 160 1— 11. 
 
 The murder of Sir Thomas Kennedy of Culzean and the events leading up to it are his- 
 torical, as well as the figures of the murderous villain, John Mure of Auchendrane, and his 
 son. [is. n., Laurie; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 — Lochinvar. 1897 
 
 Adventures of the famous ballad-hero in the service of WilUam of Orange, and in Scotland 
 after the English Revolution. Battles, plots, escapes, adventures among the Western

 — The Standard Bearer. 1898 
 The scene is laid in the wilds of Galloway and in Edinburgh (c. 1685-90). The struggles and 
 
 persecutions of the Covenanters furnish the historical basis for a robustious story. [6s., 
 Methuen; $1.50, Appleton, New York.]

 A sensational story of the wild and lawless Dukes of the Wolfmark in the Germany of the 
 Thirty Years' War. [6s., Smith & Elder ; 75c., Harper, New York.]

 A sensational romance of mediaeval Scotland (1439-40) ; doughty knights, herculean yeomen, 
 
 abnormal villains, wizards and werewolves. [6s,, Smith & Elder; S1.50, Doubleday, 
 New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Crockett, Samuel Rutherford (continued). — Kit Kennedy. 1899 
 
 A. pendant to Cleg Kelly ; a further sketch of boy nature and rustic character in Galloway,

 by a disreputable father. [2s., J. Clarke.]

 A sanguinary romance of two hundred years ago. The scene shifts from Scotland to a pirate 
 island in the Pacific and to Porto Rico. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Cinderella. 1901 
 
 A mixture of love-story, melodrama, and portraiture of Galloway characters in the manner 
 of Gait. The last are very numerous and very various, and comprise several amusing 
 eccentrics. A sensational law case about a jewel is the most engrossing incident of the 
 plot, and a happy love affair is the inevitable bonne bouche at the end. [2s., J. Clarke ; 
 $1, Appleton, New York.]

 Queen Christina and the Carhsts {c. 1829-40). Of small historical interest. [6s., Macmillan ;

 York.] 
 
 — Maid Margaret of Galloway. 1905 
 
 The three marriages and the successive love-affairs of the Fair Maid of Galloway, who appears

 painting in the author's less chastened style. [6s., Hodder; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New 
 York.] 
 
 — The Cherry Riband. 1905 
 
 Loves of a Covenanter's son and a girl in the camp of the persecutors. A characteristic story

 An Anglo-Indian story, written to amuse, with some delineation both of European manners 
 and character and of the natives. [2s., Ward & Downey : o.p.] 
 
 A Bird of Passage. 1886 
 
 The same kind of circulating-library fiction ; love-making in the Andamans, garrison Ufe, 
 amusing sketches of the typical Irish carman, Irish servants and broken-down gentry. 
 [6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Diana Barrington. 1888 
 
 Anglo-Indian life in a military station ; the story draws on the authoress's intimacy with 
 Irish character a.s well as her sympathetic knowledge of the Indian native. [3s. 6d., 
 Chatto.] 
 
 Two Masters. 1890 
 
 Romantic, with chapters both grave and comic. The scene shifts from London to the High- 
 land mansion of a parvenu family, and thence to a decayed Irish home. [3s. 6d., 2S., 
 Chatto.] 
 
 — Interference. 1891 
 
 Opens in Ireland and closes in an Indian hill-station. Largely a story of calamities falling on 
 the good characters through the agency of the evil-doers. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — A Third Person. 1894 
 
 A love affair crossed by a flirtation. Scene, a provincial town. Contains an amusing sexa-

 Philadelphia.] 
 
 — Village Tales and Jungle Tragedies. 1894 
 
 Stories of native life in India, kindly in spirit and intimate in their realism. A Free-will 
 Offering is a tiger story elevated to tragedy by the self-devotion of a native whose kin 
 have been devoured, and who lures the man-eater to the rifles. In The Betrayal of Shere 
 Bahadur a villainous rajah outwits an Englishman by sacrificing a centenarian elephant. 
 [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — In the Kingdom of Kerry. 1896 
 Seven sketchy little stories of poor folk, written in a hght and merry style. [3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 — Beyond the Pale. 1897 
 
 A hght and amusing novel of country life in Ireland, sketching the peasants and broken- 
 down gentry, without going very deeply into the Irish temperament or throwing much 
 light on Irish troubles. A milhonaire's son loves a poor girl whom misfortunes have put 
 beyond the pale of Society, but she is in reality the sole representative of the noble family 
 whose house and lands now belong to the millionaire. [3s. 6d., Chatto ; 50c., Fenno, 
 New York.] 
 
 — Terence. 1899 
 
 Very similar, though the plot is inverted, a rich Austrahan girl loving the ruined heir of the 
 once princely house of Desmond. Contains exciting episodes, piquant sketches of hfe 
 in Kerry and of society at an anglers' inn, with comedy of a broad and sometimes vulgar 
 kind, turning on jealousy and scandal. [3s. 6d., Chatto ; $1.25, Buckles, New York.] 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Croker, Mrs. B. M. {continued). — ^Angel. 1901 
 
 An Anglo-Indian love-tale, vrith an engaging heroine, a wayward and passsionate girl, of 
 whom rather masculine traits combined with real womanliness give a piquant charm.

 She is a beautiful but foolish Kerry girl who runs away to DubUn, and falling into a lodging- 
 housekeeper's clutches, becomes a household drudge. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 A Nine Days' Wonder. 1905 
 
 Utilizes a well-worn idea — a girl from an Irish cabin is acknowledged as the daughter of a 
 peer, and astonishes Society and the reader by her countrified candour. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Cromarty, Deas [Rev. Robert A. Watson ; b. 1845]. Tlie Heart of Babylon. 
 
 1900 
 
 Life of a young Methodist as an evangelist in the provinces, as a draper's assistant in a monster 
 London shop, as a journalist, and, finally, as partner in the business. [3s. 6d., H. Marshall.] 
 
 Crommelin, IMay de la Cherois. Orange Lily. 1897 
 
 Love-story of a girl and an Irish cottager's son struggling with the difficulties of an inferior 
 social station ; the interest is in the working out of these two characters and the sketches 
 of minor personages — the ladies of the hall, the loud-voiced but kind-hearted stepmother, 
 and bluff and honest " big John," another lover. [2s., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 Crosbie, Mary. Kinsmen's Clay. 1910 
 
 Refined ideals — this is the keynote of the character-drawing, the doings, and the sentiments 
 in this Irish novel, with its crowd of individualized persons grouped around a humorous 
 old lady and her intimates. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Cross, Margaret B. Love and Olivia. 1899 
 
 OUvia is a modern woman of talent who wins literary fame. The return of her old lover, 
 who is not a literary person, the troubles that arise from the situation, and the relief they 
 obtain from more congenial mates, jdeld some chapters of tragi-comedy. [6s., Hurst.] 
 
 Crottie, Julia M. Neighbours. 1900 
 
 Twenty sketches of unpleasant aspects of human nature in a stagnant town in Munster. 
 Very truthful, the gossip skilfully reported, the humours and the ingrained melancholy 
 and superstition brought out with fidelity. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 The Lost Land : a Tale of a Cromwellian-Irish Town, being the autobio- 
 graphy of Miss Annita Lombard. 1901 
 
 A sort of impassioned summary of Irish history (1780-97) and an indictment of Anglo- 
 Saxon ascendency, throwing strong light on feelings and pohtical conditions. The 
 loss of a much-loved mother, the fruitless patriotism of a brother, the heroine's own 
 disappointed hopes of her country's resurrection are the tragic elements of a sombre 
 story. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 CuNiNGHAME, Lady Fairlie-. The Little Saint of God : a Heroine of the Red 
 Terror in Brittany. 1901 
 
 The Chouans {1790-3). [6s., Hurst.]

 Century. 1907 
 
 Gerald of Wales, the narrator, enters the Church when he believes his love is lost for ever.

 the University of Paris, and on the Welsh Borders is rendered with studious care. [6s., 
 Griffiths.]

 later, and a love affair as means of poetic justice. [3s. 6d., Blackwood.] 
 
 Dahle, Thomas Theodore [b. 1867]. A Tragedy of Three. 1900 
 
 A man marries a wife without getting rid of his mistress ; and, though he is guiltless of mis-

 Dalin, Talmage. European Relations : a Tyrolese Sketch. 1892 
 
 An international sketch of America and of Tyrol, of the mountain scenery of which the book 
 is full. A girl has two love affairs — one abortive, indeed hardly begun, the other quickly 
 consummated with a cousin. The older lover is a study of hesitancy and want of courage. 
 [is. 6d., Unwin ; 50c., Cassell, New York.] 
 
 Dampier, E. M. Smith. Oil of Spikenard. 1911 
 
 A novel of 1752-6, with a Jacobite plot and a ghmpse of the Pretender ; but the real story 
 is how the too-perfect daughter of an Oxford scholar yields her heart to a loyal lover 
 and learns not to be a prig. [6s., Melrose.] 
 
 Dane, Joan. Prince Madog, Discoverer of America : a Legendary Story. 1909

 and Strata Florida. [63., Stock.] 
 
 " Dart, Edith." Rebecca Drew. 1910 
 
 Likeness. 1911 
 
 The first is set in a rustic environment with village characters and simple human motives, 
 Rebecca being the daughter of an ancient line of yeomen, incompatibly mated to a Bohe- 
 mian. The second is a rather daring comedj'- of the City and Park Lane, turning on a 
 resemblance between two girls. This, however, brings us back eventually to rustic scenes 
 in Devon. [Each 6s., Mills & Boon.]

 A fair example of several sensation stories by this author that bring in the Jap and the 
 Chinee in sinister rSles. [6s., Hutchinson.]

 A sombre sensation-story of villainy and adventure at the Australian gold-diggings. [3s. 6d.,

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Dawson, A. J. (continued). — African Nights' Entertainments. 1900 
 
 White and native life in Morocco and on the West Coast of Africa, dealt with realistically and 
 sometimes photographically, after Kipling. Many of the subjects are horrible and repul- 
 sive, but throw light on serious problems, such as that of intermarriage between different 
 races. Ben Hamed el Askar, Prince Djalinak, A Moorish Hero, and Juanita set the modern 
 Moor in an attractive light. The Purser's Own Romance is a striking fragment of West 
 African life. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.5°, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Story of Ronald Kestrel. 1900 
 
 The struggles, the punishment at the hands of critics, and the ultimate success of a young 
 Uterary man ; with sketches of life in Morocco and in New South Wales. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Joseph Khassan, Half-Caste. 1901 
 
 The central character is an iUumiuating study of temperament and heredity in a half-caste, 
 son of a Turk and his Spanish wife. He is a man of great gifts and subtle charm, who fails 
 through lacking the northern fibre and the northern sense of honour. The scene is chiefly 
 Morocco, which the author is intimately acquainted with. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Fortunes of Farthings. 1904 
 
 A long-winded, garrulous novel about country hfe in Dorset two centuries ago, and the adven- 
 tures of a Christian slave in Morocco. [6s., Harper.] 
 
 Dawson, Coningsby W. The Road to Avalon. 1911 
 
 A strange visionary romance of the Arthurian world, a charcoal-burner's son going in quest 
 of the dead king, and meeting Sir Heureux and Sir Douloureux, Sir Specious, Sir Torment, 
 and other allegorical beings. [6s., Hodder ; $1.20, Doran, New York.] 
 
 Dearmer, Mabel. The Orangery : a Comedy of Tears. 1904 
 
 An extremely sentimental love-comedy — sentimental in the finer artistic sense — with success- 
 ful pictures of society hfe in George Ill's days (1796). [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 The Alien Sisters. 1908 
 
 This Ukewise deals with experiences of life that are strongly emotional. The two sisters are 
 the heiress of a rich baronet and his illegitimate daughter, with both of whom the heir 
 to the baronetcy has love passages. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Deeping, George Warwick \h. 1877]. Uther and Igraine. 1903 
 
 A prose Idyll of the King — the loves of King Arthur's father and mother. The author has a 
 genius for description, a sensuous, rhythmical, pictorial style. The characters are 
 poetically imagined, the passions hot and intense ; yet they are neither ancient Britons 
 nor Arthurian knights and damsels after Malory, but modern young ladies and gentle- 
 men who have read their Tennyson, [is. n., Cassell; $1.50, Outlook Co., New York.] 
 
 Love Among the Ruins. 1904 
 
 Has the Arthurian atmosphere and centres in Avalon, but time and place are really quite 
 undefined. Flamboyant word-painting of a great uprising of the poor against their knightly 
 oppressors — pageants, battles, and carnage in a riot of pictorial adjectives, [is. n., 
 Cassell.] 
 
 — The Seven Dreams. 1905 
 
 A romance of corresponding vagueness. A knight goes out to avenge his sister and to over- 
 throw the Papal despotism, [is. n. {?i.5o), Cassell.] 
 
 — Bess of the Woods. 1906 
 
 Here Mr. Deeping renounces his fantastic mannerisms and tells a straightforward, if conven- 
 tional, story of smuggUng, hid treasure, hard-drinking sportsmen, and a wild young lady 
 delivered from a shameful marriage, a century and a half since. [2s. n., Cassell ; $1.50, 
 Harper, New York.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Deeping, George Warwick [continued). — Bertrand of Brittany. 1908 
 
 The early life of the renowned Bertrand du Guesclin and his no less renowned wife Tiphaine. 
 A stormy romance of trials and troubles, shames and triumphs, culminating in the great 
 combat between EngUsh and Breton champions at Rennes. [is. {$1.50), Cassell.] 
 
 Mad Barbara. 1908 
 
 Barbara meets with wild adventures in running to earth the murderer of her father. Sir Lionel 
 
 Purcell. It is Charles the Second's reign, and we hear about the Plague and the Popish 
 Plot, and see Samuel Pepys. [63. (§1.50), Cassell.]

 A romance of the Kent and Sussex woodlands in Simon de Montfort's days, the foes of the 
 
 beautiful Red Saint being undone at the battle of Lewes. [6s., Cassell.]

 in the reign of the tyrant John. [6s. ($1.20), Cassell.] 
 
 — - Fox Farm. 1911 
 
 A pathetic idyll of country life to-day — -the vagabondage and tribulations of mind of a farmer 
 stricken bUnd and a faithful woman, with some additional studies of character. [6s., Cassell.] 
 
 " Dehan, Richard " [Clotilde Graves]. The Dop Doctor. 1910 
 
 A lurid romance, in a fulsome, Ouidaesque style, giving vivid pictures of the S. African War and 
 
 the siege of Gueldersdorp (Mafeking, 1900). The Dop Doctor is a fashionable physician 
 
 under a cloud, who rehabilitates his character by devotion and courage, and wins a bride. 
 
 Some of the incidents are hideous. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 De la IVEare, Walter John [b. 1873]. Henry Brocken : his Travels and Adventures 
 in the Rich, Strange, and Scarce-Imaginable Regions of Romance. 1904 
 
 A susceptible young man's " adventures among masterpieces " rhapsodized into a romantic 
 narrative, in which figure Lucy Gray, Jane Eyre and Rochester, Gulliver, la Belle Dame 
 sans Merci, Annabel Lee, and Criseyde, with other immortal personages from poetic brains. 
 [6s., Murray.] 
 
 The Return. " 1910 
 
 A psychical romance which manages to blend the limits of both worlds in a singularly effective 
 manner, giving the experiences of a man whose personality has been seized and submerged 
 by a being from beyond the grave. [6s., Arnold ; $1.25, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 De LA Pasture, Mrs. Henry [afterwards Lady Clifford; Elizabeth, nee Bonham]. 
 Catherine of Calais. 1901 
 
 A romantic and sentimental girl, who falls in love with an elderly baronet, high-minded, but 
 priggish. She is not an uncommon type, but is drawn with sympathy and insight. The 
 story is rather diffuse and wordy ; its strength is in the drawing of certain female char- 
 acters, amiable or unpleasant. [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder; $1.50, Duttou, New York.] 
 
 Catherine's Child [sequel]. 1908 
 
 Old friends from the first book mingle with new faces in this life of Catherine's daughter, 
 down to her marriage. The women, as before, are excellently drawn, from the aged dowa- 
 ger, Catherine's mother-in-law, to those precocious girls Lily and PhiUppa. [6s., Smith & 
 Elder ; $1.20 n., Dutton, New York.] 
 
 Peter's Mother. 1905 
 
 The Grey Knight. 1907 
 
 Master Christopher. 1911 
 
 Domestic life, family troubles, love's cross-currents, social solecisms, and the like, described 
 with plain, plodding realism, the story in all three works meandering on in a leisurely, 
 gossipy way. Character is the foundation of each novel, and the lights and shades of female 
 character in especial are brought out strongly, [(i) 6s., Smith & Elder ; (2), (3) 6s., Smith 
 & Elder; $1.50, Dutton, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 De Morgan, William [b. 1839]. Joseph Vance : an 111- Written Autobiography. 1906 
 
 A long novel of many characters drawn from a lifelong acquaintance with the streets of Loudon. 
 It is rather loosely put together, the life of Joseph from boyhood onwards being the one 
 thread of union ; but the excellence of the book is entirely in the characters, or in the 
 episodes that reveal the subtleties of character, the ambition of the author being to rival 
 Dickens on Dickens's best side. The gallery of portraits is rich and varied — and there is 
 reason to beUeve that many are real portraits. First comes Joseph's father, one of the 
 finest originals in the subtle complexity of his humour. Then we have Joe's mother, and 
 her successor, the little maid-of-all-work " Miss Dowdeswell " ; Dr. lirdspa-fefaSid his delect- 
 able family, with those fascinating embodiments of womanhood, Lossie and Jane. These 
 stand out among the crowd, every one of which is a distinct creation, whether drawn from 
 the slums of Joe's boyhood or the middle-class society of later years. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 ?i.50, Holt, New York.] 
 
 Alice-for- Short : a Dichronism. 1907 
 
 Alice is a dear little girl rescued by a good-hearted but inefiectual young artist from a dreadful 
 home. She grows up with his own family, and the story covers her life and that of a crowd 
 of friends, relations, and haphazard connexions, for something like a quarter of a century. 
 The characters are not merely interesting and UfeUke, but Mr. De Morgan — much Uke 
 Henry Kingsley — makes the reader in love with them, so that when one of them drops 
 out of the story it is as if we had buried a friend. AUce both as babe and woman, Peggy 
 the sister of the artist Charley Heath — in whose story the author has used up a good deal 
 of personal material — the whole family, indeed, of the Heaths ; Pope and Chappell, the 
 Protestant and Catholic firm of church-window manufacturers ; old Verrinder with his 
 unutterably pathetic story ; the bevy of youngsters, etc., are drawn with a charming 
 naturalness, and the humour is all-persuasive. There is tragedy in the story also, deepened 
 and spiritualized by the psychical interests of the author. [6s., Heinemann; $1.75, 
 Holt, New York.] 
 
 Somehow Good. 1908 
 
 A story in which the psychical preoccupations of Mr. De Morgan's mind furnish the very basis 
 of the plot, which turns on a man's total loss of memory through an accident, and his 
 recovery after a series of amazing complications have resulted. The strength of the book, 
 however, is rather in the same exquisite truth and fertiUty of the character-drawing. 
 There is deep tragedy in the preUminaries of the story, but " somehow, good " becomes 
 " the final goal of ill." [6s., Heinemann ; $1.75, Holt, New York.] 
 
 It Never Can Happen Again. 1909 
 
 A long, two-plot novel — (a) the growth of jealousy in a dull, afiectionate wife, and of passion 
 in the husband for a splendid Society beauty, at the time when the Deceased Wife's Sister 
 Bill puts the wife's title in jeopardy ; (b) a "Little Nell " story of a bhnd sailor and his 
 daughter. The former is a masterpiece in the analysis of imponderable motive, the latter 
 a tragic idyll of exquisite beauty and pathos. There is such a leisurely insistence on every 
 detail in the story that the reader feels himself a part of it, and the characters — the mus- 
 cular Rev. Athelstan and his womenfolk, the magnificent Judith and her people, ChalUs 
 and Marianne and the prurient Miss Eldridge ; nay, the very domestic servants — all 
 seem to be familiar acquaintances. [6s., Heinemann; $1.75, Holt, New York.] 
 
 An Affair of Dishonour. 1910 
 
 A study of character, conduct, and conscience, laid in the seventeenth century, but hardly 
 historical, save'that the battle of Solebay, or Southwold (1672), is a spectacular episode. 
 There is an apparition to remind us of Mr. De Morgan's psychical interests, but of his char- 
 acteristic humour and geniality not a trace. [5s., Heinemann ; $1.75, Holt, New York.] 
 
 A Likely Story. 191 1 
 
 Returns to the genre of Somehow Good, etc. A lower-middle-class and an upper-middle-class 
 family circle come into relations in their affairs of love or uncongenial wedlock, the deus 
 ex machina being an old Italian picture that talks. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.35, Holt, New 
 . York. 
 
 Devereux, William, and S. Lovell. Sir Walter Raleigh. [juvenile] 1909 
 
 A fine, hearty romance, based on the play in which Mr. Lewis Waller impersonated the great 
 paladin at the Lyric Theatre ; an admirable story for boys. [6s., Greening.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Dickens, Mary Angela [granddaughter of Charles Dickens]. A Mere Cypher. 
 
 1893 
 A shrinking, unesteemed woman becomes the good angel of an unhappy young man, saves him 
 from ruin and helps him to win his love. Her character is one of extreme pathos, over- 
 whelmed as she is by the slights and tjrranny of a wretched marriage. [3s. 6d. (|i), Mac- 
 millan.] 
 
 A Valiant Ignorance. 1894 
 
 Julian Romayne's history is a study of hereditary tendency and the successive steps from 
 unresisted temptation to ultimate crime. Rendered all the more tragic by the mother's 
 vain attempt to keep him ignorant of his father's sins. Inspired by Ibsen. [3s. 6d. (|i), 
 Macmillau.] 
 
 Against the Tide. 1898 
 
 A man affected by homicidal mania corrupts and ruins his rich brother-in-law, and ultimately 
 commits murder and suicide. Pathos and tragic suspense arise from the pardonable 
 complicity of a young girl, who has kept the secret and sees her lover separated from her 
 as a consequence. [6s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 DiCKESON, Alfred. Tychiades : a Tale of the Ptolemies. 1903 
 
 A too erudite story of Ptolemy II's times, supposed to be written in Greek and saved from 
 the Alexandrian Library. Adventures of a young Greek. Contains some anachronisms, 
 but is an interesting picture of hfe in the still youthful city (B.C. 280). [6s., Uuwin.] 
 
 Dickinson, H. N. Keddy : a Story of Oxford. 1907 
 
 College life at Oxford from the inside, the escapades of fast young men, raggings, and a breach 
 
 of promise case as a finish. Lifelike character-drawing with abundance of satire ; the best, 
 
 Keddy and his larkish friend Bobby, sanctimonious tutors and a muscular parson. [6s.,

 Glen is in the Ochil HiUs. [6s., Digby & Long.] 
 
 Diver, Maud Katherine Helen [nee Marshall]. Captain Desmond, V.C. 1907 
 Mrs. Diver obviously has an intimate knowledge of military life in a cantonment on the N.W. 
 frontier of India a generation ago. Her captain is the regulation hero of the lady novelist — 
 tall, intrepid, iron-willed, soft-hearted. Married to a silly wife, he falls mutually in love 
 with her bosom friend. The issue must needs be tragic for someone, and Mrs. Diver 
 sacrifices the poor little wife. Incident plentiful and exciting. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 The Great Amulet. 1908 
 
 The same milieu and a number of the same characters. The hero is another captain who 
 marries in haste, and leaves his wife in a fit of jealousy, almost at the church door. When 
 they meet again in India and his passion revives, tragedy seems imminent, but a pleasing 
 conclusion is arranged. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 — Candles in the Wind. 1909 
 
 Completes the " trilogy." A study of the same scenes of life and many of the same characters ; 
 the general thesis, apart from the romantic sentiment, being the fine ideals of duty and 
 strenuous self-devotion and loyalty developed under the stress of military service in the 
 midst of ignorant Orientals and constant danger from hostile tribesmen and disease. [6s. 
 ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 Dix, Gertrude. The Image-Breakers. 1900 
 
 A study of Socialism and Socialist manners, characters and ideas, of a decade or more ago. 
 
 The story of the two heroines, who quit their homes and form unconventional unions, 
 
 has a good deal of pathos and the interest of character development. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 
 $1.50, Stokes, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Dixon, Ella Nora Hepworth [daughter of W. H. Dixon]. The Story of a Modem 
 Woman. 1894 
 
 The orphaned daughter of a renowned professor tries to live a useful and independent life. 
 Failing to become an artist, she earns a precarious livelihood in byways of literature ; 
 she loses her lover, but fights on doggedly. The future of the lonely woman, as fore- 
 shadowed on the last page, is a melancholy one. In her satire on the shams and corrup- 
 tions of Society life the authoress is very much in earnest. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 Dixon, W. Wilmott-. The Rogue of Rye. 1909 
 
 Throws light on the traffic in rescuing prisoners from both sides of the Channel about 1803. 
 Scenes : Rye and Winchelsea and the fortress of Verdun, whence an English countess is

 DoUGALL, Lily [b. 1858]. Beggars All. 1891 
 
 A well-written novel by a Canadian lady, inculcating love for one's neighbour as the sole 
 philosophy of human life. A little family of American ladies, in utter distress through 
 illness and poverty, are the central characters, one of whom, a modest and sensitive girl, 
 answers a matrimonial advertisement and marries a man for the sake of her suffering 
 relatives — -a situation made tragic by the discovery that the man is a thief. [3s. 6d. 
 ($1), Longman.]

 the occult gives rise to some touching passages. [6s., Smith & Elder.]

 Worcestershire hills in the eighteenth century. [6s., Arnold.]

 stultifying his aspirations. [6s., Methuen; $1.25, Scribner, New York.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 DowiE, Menie Muriel (continued). — Love and His Mask. 1901 
 
 The thesis which the novelist seeks to prove, and does prove in this particular case, is that, 
 
 in questions of marriage, passion is everything and mere respect and admiration nothing. 
 
 Bold in design, with a set of well-dfawn characters from high society. The heroine is a 
 
 pleasant figure, nor is the lover whom she finally chooses less attractive. [6s., Heinemann.]

 A sensational story in two parts ; the first of which deals with adventures in Utah and the

 tory of a mysterious double murder committed in London and, by the agency of Sherlock

 A plot-novel of commercial roguery. Two London merchants, a sanctimonious scamp and his 
 ruffianly son, plot to murder a ward, and use her money to bolster up the business ; after 
 complicated intrigues and many scenes of violence, the girl is saved by her lover, and the 
 villains come to a bad end. [3s. 6d., Chatto ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 — The White Company. 1891 
 
 Exploits of a company of English bowmen in France and Castile under the Duke of Lancaster. 
 Du Guesclin, Chandos, and other paladins come on the stage. A stirring narrative of 
 hard blows and feats of arms, inspired by Scott and Froissart (c. 1366-7). [3s. 6d., Smith 
 & Elder ; 75c., Caldwell, Boston.]

 — The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. 1893 
 
 — The Return of Sherlock Holmes. 1905 
 
 Detective stories forming the life-history of the amateur thief-taker who first appeared in 
 A Study in Scarlet. He is a man of superhuman powers of observation, inductive sagacity 
 and combination, whose exploits are usually accompanied by gruesome and thrilling 
 incidents. Facile princeps amongst detective stories, at any rate after Poe, whom the 
 author confessedly takes as his pattern, [(i), (2) ea. 3s. 6d., Smith & Elder, $1 n., 
 Burt, New York; (3) 3s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 — The Doings of Raffles Haw. 1892

 Fancies of Medical Life. 1894 
 
 Realistic stories of operations and other episodes of medical life, sketches of old-fashioned 
 doctors, medical students and their pranks, a Waterloo veteran, and other picturesque 
 figures, with miscellaneous stories of an exciting trend. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Apple- 
 ton, New York.] 
 
 The Stark Munro Letters. 1895 
 
 The diary in letters to a friend (i 881-4) °^ ^ struggling medical practitioner ; amusing and 
 mildly exciting incidents, with chat on Christianity and agnosticism sandwiched between. 
 [3s. 6d., Longman ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard. 1896 
 
 Self-related exploits of an of&cer of the Grande Armie, a fire-eater, a braggart, and in many 
 ways a type of French virtues and foibles. The eight stories are roughly connected into a 
 memoir, each centring in some sensational deed, the perils and prowess of which are by 
 no means belittled in the mouth of the genial narrator, whose humour is quite unconscious. 
 Napoleon, Wellington, and many another celebrity pass through these scenes of action 
 and adventure all over Europe (1812-14). [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder; Si. 50, Appleton, 
 New York.] , |^, y g 
 
 Adventures of Gerard [sequel]. 1903 
 
 Further exploits of this obtuse, fire-eating, gasconading hussar, in the Peninsular War, in 
 England as a prisoner-of-war, in the retreat from Moscow, and at Waterloo ; characteriza- 
 tion of the same slap-dash kind, the incidents sensational and exciting. [3s. 6d., Smith & 
 Elder ; $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 Rodney Stone. 1896 
 
 A sporting novel of the " Corinthian " days of Brummell, Charlie Fox, Sheridan, and the 
 Prince Regent (George IV), (1803), with a great deal of lore about the ring : there are 
 two memorable descriptions of " a fight to a finish." One of the most interesting figures 
 is the superfine buck, Tregellis. Nelson, Lady Hamilton, Sir Philip Francis, and many 
 other notable people are sketched in a rough-and-ready way. [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; 
 fi.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Uncle Bernac. 1897 
 
 A story of the camp at Boulogne and the projected invasion of England (1804). Napoleon 
 
 is vividly sketched. The hero and narrator is an imigri noble who serves under the 
 Emperor ; Bernac is the villain, a treacherous uncle who has usurped the family estates. 
 [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Tragedy of the "Korosko." 1898 
 
 The disasters and hairbreadth escapes that befell a pleasure-party of Europeans in a trip up 
 the Nubian Nile, where they fell into the hands of the Baggaras. [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; 
 50C., Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 — The Green Flag ; and other Stories of War and Sport. 1900 
 
 A miscellaneous collection of stories of action and of humorous incident. The title-story, 
 hke some others, is martial, and deals with an Egyptian campaign ; Capt. Sharkey is a 
 bloodthirsty pirate ; The Slapping Sal also tells about a valorous pirate ; and some of 
 the others are reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes, the Brigadier Gerard, and others of the 
 author's creations. [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder; $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 — The Hound of the Baskervilles. 1902 
 
 One of the most comphcated problems solved by Sherlock Holmes. The criminal whom he 
 eventually runs to earth has employed a savage hound — -beUeved to be the ancestral 
 curse of the Baskervilles — to frighten to death a rich old baronet, to whom he supposes 
 himself next of kin. [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; $1.25, McClure, New York.] 
 
 — Sir Nigel. 1906 
 
 A stirring romance of the period just antecedent to that of The White Company, which 
 should be read as the sequel. Gives a vigorous description of the battle of Poitiers 
 (1348-56). [3s. 6d., Smith & Elder; fi.50 n., McClure, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 DuDENEY, Mrs. Henry E. [nee Whittier ; b. 1866]. Folly Comer. 1900 
 
 An energetic kind of realism applied to rather disagreeable, yet characteristic, phases of 
 modem life — the hypnotism of a mind by passion. Bigamy and its consequences are the 
 motives ; and the chief subject is a girl whose character is a strange mixture of alien 
 qualities, a very modern type of adventuress, [is. n., Heinemann ; $1.25, Holt, New 
 York.] 
 
 Men of Marlowe's. 1900 
 
 " Marlowe's " is Gray's Inn, and there are eleven tales, mostly about the young inhabitants 
 
 and their free-and-easy existence ; humerous and pathetic by turns, revelling in the free- 
 dom and unorthodoxy of uncurbed youth. [6s., Long ; $1.25, Holt, New York.] 
 
 The Third Floor. 1901 
 
 An amusing and somewhat sensational story of a strong-minded young woman of a modern 
 stamp, who lives alone and unprotected in a London flat. Many queer characters come 
 on the stage, played upon by Mrs. Dudeney's humour. The most moving episode is that 
 of the lecturer on social purity, tardily reconciled to the husband whom she had divorced. 
 [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Story of Susan. 1903 
 
 Old-fashioned people and manners, quiet home scenes, parties, balls, scandals of high and 
 
 low hfe, in a small country town near Brighton, in 1839-46 — a good essay in the Cranford 
 style. A predominant feature of Liddeshorn is the harsh and intolerant Methodism, which 
 the authoress describes with kindly satire. Susan, whose lightness and coquetry are all 
 on the surface, is deeply in love with a Methodist, a paragon of piety. A mistake of hers 
 and his quixotism cause years of separation and misery to both. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Maternity of Harriott Wicken. 1899 
 
 The Wise Woods. 1905 
 
 Rachel Lorian. 1909 
 
 A Large Room. 1910 
 
 Similar novels of old-fashioned hfe pervaded by a quiet but freakish spirit of comedy — the 
 
 comedy that strikes fire from the rough edge of character. The first is serious, tragic ; the 
 second comes nearest to the present day ; but all have that criticism of our common 
 human nature which is always pertinent and engrossing. Mrs. Dudeney presents finely, 
 especially in Rachel Lorian, the nobler passion of love. [Ea. 6s., Heinemann ; (4) also 
 IS. n., id.; (i) $1.35, Brentano, New York; (3) $1.50, Duf&eld, New York; (4) $1.50, 
 Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Gossips Green. 1906 
 
 Gossips Green is a quiet village on the south coast (1790— 1815), where a lad saved from ship- 
 wreck is adopted by two peasants. He grows into a brilliant, intelligent man, and the 
 love-tale of his maturity is passionate and moving. [6s., Cassell; iub tit. The Battle 
 of the Weak, $1.50, Dilhngham, New York.] 
 
 Maids' Money. 1910 
 
 How two old maids, whose womanhood has been repressed and thwarted, come into money, 
 
 and try, though faded and forty, to enjoy what life has for women, not excepting love. 
 The pair are a humorous contrast, their would-be suitors are another. Mrs. Dudeney 
 makes much of the fine shades of character in people by no means remarkable, and the 
 elusive comedy in quite ordinary events. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 DuNSANY, Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett [ist Baron ; h. 1878]. The 
 Gods of Pegana. ' 1905 
 
 Time and the Gods. 1906 
 
 The Sword of Welleran ; and other Stories. 1908 
 
 Lord Dunsany has invented a new mythology, and may be almost said to have devised a new 
 language to describe it. He skims the cream of old and new romance, giving a concentra- 
 tion of all that is most strange, poetical, grotesque, and glamorous, in his tales of unknown 
 gods, untravelled deserts, ghostly peoples, cities, and temples, and cataclysms of which 
 no echo has heretofore been heard. Mr. Sime's ghouhsh and grotesque illustrations are, 
 as a rule, finely in harmony with the sense, [(i) 5s. n., Mathews ; (2) 6s. n., Heinemann ; 
 (3) 6s. n., G. Allen.] 
 
 231 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 DuNSANY, Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett (continued). — ^A Dreamer's 
 
 Tales. 1910 
 
 Similar experiments in artificial glamour, chieily of the sad, forlorn, and macabre type. Visions 
 
 of unheard-of lauds and rivers, dead cities, and monstrous deserts and haunted forests, 
 
 peopled by mysterious habitants of human or unknown kind. [6s., G. Allen.] 
 
 DuRAND, Rt. Hon. Sir Henry Mortimer [b. 1850]. Nadir Shah. 1908 
 
 The author proposed to write a history of Nadir Shah, but found that the materials were more 
 
 fitted for a romance. In describing the career of the great conqueror he has throughout 
 
 treated known facts with proper respect. Sir Mortimer's knowledge of Persian life and 
 
 history is hardly surpassed. [los. 6d. n.. Constable ; $3 n.. Button, New York.] 
 
 DURRANT, W. S. Cross and Dagger: the Crusade of the Children, 1212. 
 
 [juvenile] 1910 
 
 The youth who joins the juvenile crusaders falls into the hands of the Chief of the Assassins, 
 witnesses the Christian defeat at Damietta, and later joins the order of St. Francis of 
 Assisi (1212-22). [3s. 6d. n., Methuen ; $1.50, Lane, New York.]

 The Duke of Monmouth, Lady Wentworth^ — in a more iimocent idle than that recorded in 
 history — Judge Jeffreys, Wilham of Orange, etc. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 His Indolence of Arras. 1905 
 
 Court intrigues in the days of Louis XIV (1665-7). The scene moves from the provinces to 
 
 Paris, and includes elopements, duels, ambushes, and the usual paraphernalia of the 
 modem historical novel. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 The Hearth of Hutton. 1906 
 
 Experiences of a Cumberland squire in the '45, down to Falkirk (1746). [6s., Blackwood.]

 Drake's early voyages to the West Indies, action at Nombre de Dios, burning of Porto Bello, 
 
 and first sight of the Pacific (1557—73). [^s., Skeffington.] 
 
 Edwards, Matilda Barbara Betham- [b. 1836]. Dr. Jacob. 1868 
 
 Life in Frankfurt and certain little German towns ; English and German characters, the chief 
 of whom, the sexagenarian Dr. Jacob, a " noble but oblique " nature, appears first as a 
 man of brilliant intellect, fascinating manners, and lofty aims, but shows his lack of 
 principle in love-passages with some young women, and subsides into the unhonoured old 
 age of a selfish epicurean. [2s., Blackett : o.p.] 
 
 Bridget. 1877 
 
 The development of Bridget's character from impulsive and thoughtless girlhood to a mature 
 and afiectionate woman is the central motive of this story, which comprises a variety of 
 character-studies with their several love-tales. [3 vols.. Hurst : o.p.] 
 
 Brother Gabriel. 1878 
 
 Gabriel is a young Irish monk, who is expelled from his monastery in Southern France, and, 
 being forced by circumstances to live with an English girl as her brother and protector, 
 falls deeply in love. A study of religious devotion battUng with desire for freedom, and of 
 passion yielding to saintly unselfishness. [2s. 6d., Hurst.] 
 
 232 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 EjDWARDS, Matilda Barbara Betham- [continued). — A Romance of Dijon. 1894 
 
 France before 1789 ; a simple love-story quite subservient to the careful study of the feelings 
 and attitude of the peasantry towards the ancien regime and the earlier movements of the 
 Revolution. [2s. 6d., 2s., Black ; $1.25, MacmiUan, New York.] 
 
 The Dream Charlotte : a Story of Echoes. 1896 
 
 A village story of Normandy during the Revolution, of which but the faintest echoes are audible, 
 while Charlotte Corday hardly appears in person in these memoirs of her kin and of the 
 Huguenots, whose sufferings were ending with the dawn of a new order. [6s., Black ; 
 $1.25, MacmiUan, New York.] 
 
 A Storm-Rent Sky. 1898 
 
 The career of Danton. [6s., Hurst.] 
 
 The Lord of the Harvest. 1899 
 
 Quiet rural hf e in Suffolk before the repeal of the Com Laws ; largely taken up with descrip- 
 tion of local customs and modes of life. [6s., Hurst.] 
 
 A Suffolk Courtship. 1900 
 
 A pleasant picture of Suffolk fifty years ago, in the happy days of agriculture. Quiet town 
 Hfe in Ipswich and farming in the shire are well depicted in the course of a narrative of 
 several love affairs. [6s., Hurst.] 
 
 Mock Beggars' Hall. . 1902 
 
 A Humble Lover. 1903 
 
 Homely and unpretentious stories of rustic life in Suffolk fifty years or more ago, yeomen, 
 gentry, clergymen, and farm-hands, simply and faithfully drawn. [Ea. 6s., Hurst.] 
 
 " Egerton, George " [Mrs. Golding Bright, Mary Chavehta, nee Dunne]. Key- 
 notes. 1893 
 
 Sketches and slight stori6s of the femme incomprise, etc. ; introspective studies of woman's 
 impulses, which are acknowledged withoi^t false shame — ^the dialogue very plain spoken, 
 and the influence of Ibsen very apparent in the ideas and methods. [5s. n., Mathews ; 
 $1, Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Symphonies. 1897 
 
 Similar studies of the feminine temperament and erotic instincts ; outspoken and slangy in 
 style. Angling reminiscences gave the outdoor atmosphere in Keynotes ; here the feeling 
 for nature is appealed to by word-painting of Continental scenery, particularly of the 
 Basque country. [6s. ($1.25), Lane.] 
 
 Fantasias. 1898 
 
 Half a dozen short sketches, in a dainty, yet vigorous, manner. The Mandrake Venus is a 
 scathing denunciation of irregular relations between men and women. [3s. 6d. ($1.25), 
 Lane.] 
 
 Rosa Amorosa. 1901 
 
 Very hterary love-letters. The authoress seems to have embodied her ideal self in the woman 
 who writes, and in her emotional confidences we have an idealization and apotheosis of 
 sexual feeling. Descriptions and reveries of all kinds diversify the diary of sentiments, 
 expressed in sensuous and fanciful prose. [6s., Richards, o.p. ; $1.50, Brentano, New 
 York.] 
 
 Elliott, Robert. " Act of God." 1907 
 
 Life on an emigrant ship a quarter of a century ago, in all its picturesque and all its disgusting 
 features, ending with the horrors of a fire ; the whole done with a vivid and a merciless 
 pen. The characters drawn with like vigour, and their rather ugly doings related with un- 
 compromising realism. [6s., Duckworth.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Ellis, Beth. Barbara Winslow, Rebel. 1903 
 
 A tale of the Bloody Assizes (1685). Barbara, a perfect spitfire, helps two rebels to escape, 
 and is herself arraigned before Judge Jeffreys, whom she browbeats as ably as he could 
 do it himself. After a wildly improbable series of adventures, she and her lover get off 
 scot free. A pathetic account of the frightful tortures meted out to the Somerset peasants. 
 [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 The Mqon of Bath. 1907

 Caoba is a negro chief who joins the rebels against the Spaniards (c. 1870). Negro savagery 
 
 and Spanish misgovemment lead the author to hope for American intervention. [3s. 6d., 
 
 Nutt ; $2.50, Scribner, New York.]

 A long novel of family life and character-development. In the early chapters, class prejudice 
 in country society, and the effect of culture above her station on a girl's character, are the 
 chief motives ; then more people and wider interests come into the story. [6s., Low.]

 Murray; $1.25, Dutton, New York.] 
 
 The Roadmender. 1902 
 
 Less a story than musings on life and death, pervaded with a sense of gentle melancholy, 
 which the sad circumstances of their writing explain. The author suffered from a painful 
 and incurable malady, of which she subsequently died, and this Uttle book was dictated 
 to the sister at a nursing home. [Illus. by E. W. Waite, 7s. 6d. n., Duckworth.]

 A romance of Hampshire and Dorset about 1757-8. The quest for a lost diamond and smug-

 vault. Finely worked out, and not lacking in character-drawing. [6s., Arnold.] 
 
 The Nebuly Coat. 1903

 Gentlefolk in Fife (c. 1710-40) ; a domestic story. [6s., is. n., Methuen.] 
 
 The Story of a Mother. 1903 
 
 Life in a Highland manse a hundred years ago. The story somewhat tame, interest lying 
 in the small family circle of characters and their relations toward each other — the rigid, 
 unsympathetic minister, his young and finely endowed wife, and her beloved son. [3s. 6d., 
 Nisbet.] 
 
 The Ladder to the Stars. 1906

 FiNDLATER, Mary. Over the Hills. 1897 
 
 A quiet, unconventional story of Scottish villagers and others, homely characters, chiefly

 acter study. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — A Narrow Way. 1901 
 
 An uneventful, sometimes dull, story of domestic life in Edinburgh, portraying chiefly, in 
 a very dehcate yet penetrating manner, two characters, an old-fashioned Presbyterian 
 spinster aunt, and an innocent, sane, and sweet-natured girl, in whom freedom is an inborn 
 passion. In her growth and emancipation, and in her love-story, lies the active interest ; 
 but most interesting of all is the sympathetic portraiture. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — "The Rose of Joy. 1903 
 
 The same modest and unpretentious realism, presenting a fa mil y of not uncommon people, 
 and some others, in such a way as to show the very elements of character, the delicate 
 shades of temperament, and the deeper beauty of spiritual traits. In Susan, the daughter 
 of a feckless middle-class home. Miss Findlater's subdued art finds apt expression. [6s., 
 Methuen ; ?i.5o, McClure, New York.] 
 
 — A Blind Bird's Nest. 1907 
 
 Deals with a sadder theme, the life of a motherless girl whose father was sentenced to penal 
 servitude. [6s., Methuen.]

 FiNDLATER, Mary and Jane Helen. Tales that are Told. igoi

 Andromeda. 1885 
 
 A love-novel, with English and Italian characters and Tyrolese scenery. The principal situa-

 FoRSTER, Edward Morgan [b. 1879]. -^ Room with a View. 1908 
 
 How a girl is roused out of a conventional engagement to a nobler and more passionate realiza- 
 tion of love. Sketchy characters tinged with reminiscences of Meredith ; among them 
 divers satirical types of the latest phases of snobbishness, intellectual superiority, and 
 prudishness. Analyses, in lively dialogue, delicate transitions of feehng. [6s., Arnold ; 
 $1.35, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 The Celestial Omnibus ; and other Stories. 191 1 
 
 Six early stories of a deft, light-handed kind, handling sentiment and the more poetical side 
 of life with the same subtle insight. [3s. 6d. n., Sidgwick & Jackson.] 
 
 Howard's End. 1911 
 
 Contrasts the sympathetic, cultured, imaginative lives of two modem girls with the hard and 
 limited existence of a successful family of money-makers. Rather esoteric in its femininity 
 and contempt for the male, whose obtuseness may fail to appreciate the subtle intuitions 
 and shades of sentiment which are more plentiful than clear ideas. [6s., Arnold ; $1.35, 
 Putnam, New York.] 
 
 FoRSTER, Robert Henry [b. 1867]. The Last Foray. 1903 
 
 Rather a heavy story of a moss-trooper in Tynedale, who afterwards enters the service of

 FoRTESCUE, Hon. John WilUam [b. 1859]. The Drummer's Coat. 1899 
 
 Exmoor, the Peninsular War and Corunna in 1808-9. A story that seems to have been 
 written for children, but is worth anybody's reading as a study of child-Ufe, soldiers, and

 Foster, Catherine and Florence {continued). — ^The Goblin. 1900 
 
 A somewliat formless story, a medley of dialogue, episodes of child-life and character-sketches- 
 The " Goblin " and his friends are diverting children, while the grown-up people look like 
 caricatures from life. The domestic manners and the scenery of Holdemess are sketched 
 with intimate local knowledge. [6s., Wells Gardner.]

 Scott the wizard is a personage. [3s. 6d., Low : o.p.] 
 
 Fowler, Ellen Thomeycroft [Hon. Mrs. Alfred Laurence Felkin]. Concerning 
 Isabel Carnaby. 1898 
 
 The good things in Miss Fowler's books are the table-talk of humble people, who have nothing 
 to do with the smart society furnishing the chief stage figures. The humours of a Methodist 
 household contrasted with the showy frivolity of London Society. Isabel, the Society girl, 
 loves a Methodist tutor, but her arrogance leads to a rupture, which is made up, however, 
 when he fathers a scandalous novel written by her. [2s. 6d. n., is. n., Hodder ; Si-SO. 
 Appleton, New York.] 
 
 A Double Thread. 1899 
 
 A story of flashy worldlings and dull provincials, very like the last in its bright dialogue and too 
 abundant repartee and epigram : everybody without exception is given to the manufacture 
 of sayings. A soldier has love affairs with two girls, one poor, the other rich, who in the 
 denouement prove to be the same person ! [3s. 6d., is. n., Hutchinson; $1.50, Apple- 
 ton, New York.] 
 
 The Farringdons. 1900 
 
 The humours of Methodist society again brought into piquant juxtaposition with the fashion- 
 able world ; the story comparatively unimportant, except as a framework for the sketches 
 and caricatures of people and manners. The Methodist heroine is the centre of interest, 
 but such figures as Mrs. Hankey and Mrs. Bateson are more characteristic. Their small- 
 talk on religion and providence, and on more frivolous subjects, bubbles over with smart- 
 ness and epigram. Locality, the Black Country (Silverhampton is the writer's own 
 Wolverhampton. [6s., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Place and Power. 1903 
 
 [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.] 
 
 In Subjection. 1906

 and the love affairs of an Anglo-Indian girl who retains instincts inherited from Hindu 
 forefathers; with some plot business. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson; $1.50, Dodd& Mead, New York.] 
 
 Fox, Marion. The Seven Nights. 1910 
 
 Scenes, Brittany and Kent in the days of Wat Tyler's rising. The stage is set with more serious 
 regard for the realities of hfe, and the story of the knight-errant's quest, the wrath of the 
 peasantry, and the final tragedy is told with more insight into character and the motives 
 that agitated men in those times than one detects in the average historical romance. 
 [6s., Stock.] 
 
 The Hand of the North. 1910 
 
 London in 1601, Hexham, and the Border are the successive scenes. Brings in the Earl of

 Pastorals of Dorset. 1901

 Fiander was an elderly farmer, whose charming young widow woos his old friend when she 
 finds she cannot manage the farm. Makes humorous capital of the self-interest, the

 at her best in describing homely old country people. [6s. ($1.50), Longman.] 
 
 — Dorset Dear : Idylls of Country Life. 1905 
 
 Unaffected simpUcity and sincerity are the characteristics of these stories. Postman Chris, 
 a pretty tale of a rustic wooing ; and perhaps the best. Keeper Guppy, with some teUing 
 character-sketches, are worth sampling. [6s. ($1.50), Longman.]

 Japan. 1899 
 
 Stories and pictures of new Japan, chiefly of an emotional character ; e.g. the title-story, 
 and the pathetic story of a foreigner's liaison with a Jap. An enthusiastic love for things 
 Japanese pervades the book. [6s., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Stolen Emperor : a Tale of Old Japan. 1903 
 
 Of the time when the actual power was in the hands of the great feudatories. The authoress

 Fremdling, a. Father Clancy. 1904 
 
 Loosely connected pictures of the heterogeneous people and the various incidents of hfe in 
 a small town in Kerry ; extraordinarily vivid and picturesque, though not always perhaps 
 free from erroneous impressions. Father Clancy, the dominating figure, is an unselfish, 
 unworldly parish priest, beloved of his flock, and set off by the unpleasant character of 
 his vicious curate. Abounds in flashes of keen insight into the humours and the pathos 
 of Irish character. [6s., Duckworth.]

 King James, of whom he was the^very counterpart. [6s., Arnold.] 
 
 Gallon, Tom [b. 1866]. The Rogue in Love. 1900 
 
 A good example of this author's imitations of the sentimental melodrama and humorous 
 drawing of character from low hfe, of which Dickens is the great exponent. The rogue 
 is an inmate of Wormwood Scrubs gaol, who acts the good fairy to a queer old waiter's 
 innocent daughter, falls in love, and is changed into an honest man. [6s., Hutchinson.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Gallon, Tom (continued). ^Peplow's Paper-Chase. 1904 
 
 A dying father tells his son to study the daily papers, which are more conducive to happiness 
 than is generally believed. The resulting adventures are amusingly fantastic. [6d., 
 Hutchinson.] 
 
 Galsworthy, John [" John Sinjohn " ; 6.1867]. Villa Rubein; and other Stories. 
 
 1900 
 
 The first story (1900) describes the emotional life of two wedded lovers, who are artists to the 
 core, a Tyrolese painter, born a peasant, and his English wife ; and portrays the people 
 and the scenery of Tyrol. Republished with stories more characteristic of his later 
 development — A Man of Devon, A Knight, Salvation of a Forsyte, and The Silence — in 
 igog. [6s., 2S. 6d. n., Duckworth; $1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 The Island Pharisees. 1904 
 
 First ed., 1904; revised and rewritten, 1908; sub-title (on fly-leaf), A Journey. A criticism 
 of English society, institutions, and the prevailing national character, intended to reveal 
 the mental forces that make for acceptance of things as they are by the ninety and nine, 
 and revolt by the hundredth man, the strong in himself, the true idealist. Sheltou " is 
 surely not the hundredth Pharisee," and his journey " is but a ragged effort to present 
 the working of the truth, ' All things that are, are wrong,' upon the truth, ' All things that 
 are, are right ' " (Preface). [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50 n., Putnam, New York.] 
 
 — The Man of Property. 1906 
 
 Obviously burdened with a purpose — exposure of the fatuity, the emptiness, and bUnd egotism 
 of a certain stratum of society, the comfortable moneyed class, a duller and, if possible, 
 a more useless section than the butterflies of smart Society. Several generations of the 
 Forsytes are taken a.s the epitome of this class ; their humdrum existence passes before the 
 eyes, and the aimlessness of it is brought into sharp relief by the development of a love 
 drama between two people of alien natures who have been drawn into relations with the 
 Forsytes by circumstances. Bitterly satirical ; unrelieved in the pain of the ending. [6s., 
 Heinemann; $1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 — The Country House. 1907 
 
 The Pendyce family represents the squirearchy as the Forsytes represented the propertied 
 classes in town. The landed proprietor, and the whole system of which he is the keystone, 
 are anatomized here with the same thoroughness ; and the inmost springs of character 
 are disclosed in an emotional drama of passion in conflict with the institution of marriage. 
 One character, Mrs. Pendyce, is drawn with rare subtlety — a tender and beautiful portrait 
 of an English lady. [6s., is. n., Heinemann ; $1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 — A Commentary. 1908 
 
 Twenty sketches of English characters, typical of every grade from the street hawker to the 
 man of fashion, and all pointed to bring out the selfish indifference of the upper classes 
 to the wrongs of the poor. [2s. 6d. n., Duckworth; $1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 — Fraternity. 1909 
 
 Puts into juxtaposition the highly cultivated, fastidious, hothouse existence of a set of upper- 
 middle-class people in Kensington, and the distressing facts of life in the neighbouring 
 slums. The emotional situation by which a weak literary man gets involved with a girl 
 who has been a model is analysed so as to display the significance of social relations, 
 prejudices, and feelings, and show how a slight alteration of attitude in one person may 
 react through complex ways and set up unheard-of vibrations in our sensitive society. 
 [6s., Heinemann; I1.35 n., Putnam, New York.] 
 
 — A Motley. 1910 
 
 ^Twenty-eight stories showing as many different aspects of human circumstance and social 
 condition at- the present day. Criticism is implied in each story — indignant criticism in 
 most — but the author leaves the moral to his reader. The Prisoner is a poignant exposure 
 of the inhumanity of imprisonment ; Apotheosis and The Japanese Prince are amusing 
 satires of the man of routine ; Courage and Compensation represent foreigners— not with 
 the knowledge and cogency with which low life at home is sketched in Once More and 
 For Ever. There is real poetry in A Parting and The Meeting. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.20 n., 
 Scribner, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Galsworthy, John {continued). — The Patrician. 191 1 
 
 From the philosophic study of the elements of society Mr. Galsworthy in this novel is moving 
 tentatively in the direction of character development and the anatomy of individual 
 motive. The Patrician is a poetical ideahst whose admirable schemes for the government 
 of England are on the point of going awry through his love for a woman separated from her 
 husband. The drama is worked out with much analysis of the inner struggle of principle 
 and feeling, complicated with heavily detailed pictures of society. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 I1.35, Scribner, New York.]

 Four analytical studies of Russian social conditions and the emotional undercurrents of life

 punishment and the impression it made on various individuals and the public. [6s., 
 Heinemann ; $1.50, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Garnett, Mrs. R. S. The Infamous John Friend. 1909 
 
 A very realistic character-study of a man in the days of the Regency, who is a spy in the French

 The chief interest of E. and D. Gerard's novels is the local colour, the peculiarities of society,

 In this love-story of a PoUsh Jewess and an Austrian heutenant — scene, a town in Austrian 
 Poland — the manners, customs, and the religious feeUngs of the two nations are thrown 
 into instructive contrast. [6d., Routledge ; 25c., Appleton, New York.]

 Staged amid the wild scenery of the borders of Hungary and Roumania ; local characters,

 A Sensitive Plant. 1891

 A romance of adventure at the end of the nineteenth century. Much on the lines of his his-

 Less a novel than a biographical study of Robert Emmett's career (1796-1803). Author tries

 not shirk realities. [6s., Sands; $1.50, Jewish Pub. Soc, Philadelphia.] 
 
 The Ferry of Fate : a Tale of Russian Jewry. 1906 
 
 A story of Russian persecution, opening with the expulsion of Jews from the University of

 field. New York.]

 Scene, Bar-le-Duc in the sixteenth century ; life at the ducal Court, mediaeval manners, 
 dresses, superstitions, feasts and jollity are presented ; but the story is of a melancholy 
 cast and tragic in its termination. [5s., Heinemann ; $1, Tait, New York.]

 Graham, John W. Nesera : a Tale of Ancient Rome. 1886 
 
 The Rome of Tiberius (a.d. 26) ; portraits of the tyrant Sejanus, Apicius, and others. The 
 
 famous banquet of Apicius elaborated into a dramatic episode. By the machinations of 
 
 . a profligate woman Neaera is abducted to Caprese, and the episode serves to introduce 
 
 descriptions of the splendour, the sensuality, and the crimes of this imperial hermitage. 
 
 [6s. (?i), Macmillan.] 
 
 Harlaw of Sendle. 1901 
 
 Motive of the love-story, the scruples of a high-minded young man who loves an heiress.

 wood.] 
 
 Graham, Gabriela Cunninghame. The Christ of Toro ; and other Stories. 1908 
 
 Stories and vignettes of Spain and Mexico, written in early Ufe by the late Mrs. Cunninghame 
 Graham, with two translations from Gustavo Becquer. [6s., Nash.] 
 
 Graham, Robert Bontine Cunninghame [&. 1852]. The Ipan6. 1899 
 
 Sketches of travel and pithy stories, portraits of exotic types and individuals, and bits of 
 elemental drama, collected by a gloie-trotter, an inveterate Ishmaelite, who lays his stress 
 on the contrast between civilized dullness and real life. The subjects are chiefly South 
 American ; but there are striking glimpses of Scotch character in A Survival, Heather 
 Jock, and Salvagia ; while S.S. A Has, the narrative of a tramp's voyage across the Atlantic, 
 is one of the finest sketches. [2s., is. 6d., Unwin.] 
 
 Thirteen Stories. 1900 
 
 A traveller's yarns from all over the globe, describing foreign and irregular ways of life with 
 the mordant vigour of an etching, and with amazingly few strokes of lifelike dialogue 
 sketching such strong, simple types as the " Forty-niner " of Rio Grande, the skipper* of 
 the German tramp, the desperate band of hounded Apaches, the Arab Mindly iying 
 to do his chieftain's bidding. A love of free assertion and a hatred of the shams of civiliza- 
 tion barb innumerable epigrams. [6s., Heinemann.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Graham, Robert Bontine Cunninghame (continued). — Success. 1902 
 
 " How few successful men are interesting ! " The vulgarity and inconsequence of success, 
 the relative grandeur of lost causes, the meanness of our convention-ridden, machine- 
 made civilization, such is the burden of these essa5'S, short tales, and sketches of life in 
 all parts of the world — the observations and criticisms of a confirmed wanderer. The 
 biting, acrimonious style is very characteristic. [2s. n., Duckworth.] 
 
 Progress ; and other Sketches. 1905 
 
 Progress is a sardonic account of the wiping out of a Mexican community by the forces of law 
 
 and order. The other essays, impressions, or bits of stories, wander back to Morocco, 
 Yorkshire, Scotland, and vary in subject, but all harp on the rights of the unconventional 
 against the Philistine. [6s., Duckworth.] 
 
 His People. 1906 
 
 Similar sketches from all the world over, the most sympathetic being those concerned with 
 
 the failures, the desolate and oppressed. Almost every story has a dig at our boasted 
 civilization. Fate, a pessimistic tale, Le Chef, Signalled, Dagos, A Wire-walker, and two 
 Scottish stories, Miss Christine Jean and Ha Til Mi Tuliadh, are admirable specimens. 
 A Memory of Parnell is a passionate apologia. [6s., Duckworth.] 
 
 Faith. 1908 
 
 Brilliant but depressing episodes of all manner of life similar in general complexion to the fore- 
 going. At the Ward Toll is a picturesque study in melancholy on a lovely Highland road. 
 At the River is an Oriental fantasia put realistically, and evidently true. In Maktub an old 
 beggar is the impersonation of the Oriental doctrine of Kismet. [6s., Duckworth.] 
 
 • Hope. 1910 
 
 More railing against the shams and hypocrisies of the world, rather memories than stories, 
 and every one an intimate revelation of the man himself. They range over Spain, Morocco, 
 South America, Scotland, etc. The Fourth Magus tells of the King from the East who 
 arrived only in time for Calvary. My Uncle and Vn Monsieur are kindlier portraits, 
 the latter well worthy of Flaubert. [6s., Duckworth.] 
 
 Grahame, Kenneth. The Golden Age. 1895 
 
 Sketches of childhood by a man who still loves the fanciful pleasures and has not forgotten 
 
 the feelings of children. The characters are a little family of five children left to themselves, 
 
 and creating a little world of their own, [3s. 6d. n. ($1 n.). Lane ; is. n.. Nelson ; 
 
 Illustrated by M. Parrish, 7s. 6d. n. (^2.50 n.). Lane.] 
 
 Dream Days. 1898 
 
 Takes up the story, if story it can be called, when the children are older, entering upon the 
 
 threshold of adult life. The same imaginative impressionism, half-forgotten things seen 
 through a mist of dreamy longing. [3s. 6d. n. (§1 n.). Lane; is. n.. Nelson; Illustrated 
 by M. Parrish, 7s. 6d. n. ($2.50 n.). Lane.] , 
 
 The Wind in the Willo's^'s. 1908 
 
 A charming make-believe in which animals, with man-like foibles, figure as men — Mole, 
 
 Rat, the Badger, and a romantic stranger — and have adventures in which the animals' 
 point of view and the human interchange with humorous inconsistency. [6s., Methuen ; 
 $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 " Grand, Sarah " [Mrs. Haldane McFall, nee Clarke]. Ideala. 1888 
 
 A portrait of a woman of original and wayward nature, a character " by suffering made 
 strong " ; one of the earliest sketches of the New Woman. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Heavenly Twins. 1893 
 
 Less a coherent story than a string of multifarious incidents intended to advocate greater 
 freedom for women. Full of moralizing passages referring to the marriage question, 
 etc. ; some of the characters eccentrically humorous, others idealizations of the writer's 
 views on hfe. The episode in book iv., The Tenor and the Boy (which has been published 
 separately, is. 6d. n.), describes the intercourse of a young wife, disguised as a boy, with 
 a sensitive young man, who discovers her sex when rescuing her from drowning. [6s., 
 Heinemann.] 
 
 251 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 " Grand, Sarah " {continued). — The Beth Book. 1897 
 
 The biography of a girl who believes she has genius, and who is a type of the New Woman. 
 This also is full of moralizing tirades about modem society, the masculine regime, etc., 
 everything in the nature of a story being sacrificed to random preaching. [6s., 2S., Heine- 
 mann.] 
 
 — Babs the Impossible. 1901 
 
 The history of Babs begins with her precocious girlhood, and is carried on to the age of love- 
 making. First we have the family squabbles of this enfant terrible, and then her flirtations 
 with a romantic peer and his friend. The other characters are chiefly women, more or 
 less neurotic and eccentric, in a remote country place, where bachelors are hard to come 
 by. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.] 
 
 Gray, E. McQueen. Elsa. 1891 
 
 Laid in Venice and Munich ; character-development in the two chief persons the main interest 
 These are ideal creatures, moved by exalted motives. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 " Gray, Maxwell " [Miss M. G. Tuttiett]. The Silence of Dean Maitland. 1886 
 
 As a young curate, a future dignitary of the Church seduces a girl, commits manslaughter, 
 and allows his dearest friend to suffer penal servitude for the crime. Afterwards he lives 
 a good and useful life, with occasional twinges of conscience, till the friend is released 
 from prison and forgives him, whereupon the Dean makes public confession and dies. 
 [6s., 3s. 6d., Paul ; Si. 50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 In the Heart of the Storm. 1891 
 
 The events of the Indian Mutiny play a main part, though the author continually finds oppor- 
 tunity for talk on women's rights and similar topics. [6s., Paul; $1.50, Appleton, New 
 York.] 
 
 An Innocent Impostor ; and other Stories. 1893 
 
 The title-story is a farce, turning on an involuntary case of impersonation ; The Silver Casket 
 is a love-story, tragically interrupted, and renewed in middle age ; The Mysterious Guide, 
 a sensational Alpine adventure. [6s., Paul; ?i.5o, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 ■ The Last Sentence. 1893 
 
 A barrister, having married a girl of low station, learns that she has perished in a fire ; in point 
 of fact, she is alive, and accidentally sees him courting another woman, the shock causing 
 her death. By a strange series of events, he condemns as judge his own daughter for child- 
 murder, and her innocence is proved barely in time to save her from death. [6s., Heine- 
 mann ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The House of Hidden Treasure. 1898 
 
 An old-fashioned plot-novel, with a villain of the" old school, who intercepts letters and in 
 general maintains the traditions of his office. The Uvely heroine belongs to the type of 
 girl who is at once fascinating and exasperating. [6s., Heinemann ; ?i.50, Appleton,

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Greenhow, H. M. Brenda's Experiment. 1896 
 
 Story of an English girl who marries an Indian Mohammedan ; full of learning about the 
 people and their religion, drawn from the Koran and from actual life in the country. 
 The events of the Mutiny, as they afiected one small district, are told in a straightforward 
 way. [2s. 6d., Jarrold.] 
 
 Gretton, R. H. Ingram. 1911

 Imaginary autobiography of an East India Company's servant, who is persecuted by the

 research. [2s., Blackwood.] 
 
 An Uncrowned King : a Romance of High Politics. 1896 
 
 A Crowned Queen : the Romance of a IWinister of State [sequel]. 1898 
 
 Imaginary politics, diplomacy, and palace intrigue in a fictitious kingdom of Thracia, supposed 
 
 to resemble in its conditions those unsettled Balkan States that were under the thumb of 
 Russia. Love plays an active part in the drama. A diplomatist of vast pretensions, 
 Count Cyril Mortimer, comes to the front as the tales proceed. [Ea. 2S., Blackwood.] 
 
 The Kings of the East [sequel]. igoo 
 
 Mortimer reappears as premier of Thracia. The schemes of a Jewish " United Nation Syndi- 
 cate " for repossessing the Holy Land provide the cardinal motive. Mixed up with the 
 affairs of princes and diplomatists, which are conceived on a scale befitting the chancellories 
 of Western Europe, are a variety of love-romances, happy or tragic. [2s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Like another Helen. 1899 
 
 India in the eighteenth century, embodying the series of historical events connected with the 
 
 Black Hole incident (1755-7). Told in letters between two girls, one of whom resembles 
 strongly Richardson's Clarissa ; the language and sentiment of the period laboriously 
 reproduced. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 The Warden of the Marches. 1901 
 
 Scene, a fort on the Khemistan frontier, which the Warden, one of the forward school, has 
 
 made strong against the turbulent tribesmen ; until a new commissioner, a theorist and 
 bureaucrat, comes and upsets his policy, and a brisk war results. A love-story is mixed 
 up with these matters. Forms a sequel to the Advanced Guard, which appeared later. 
 [2s., Blackwood]. 
 
 The Advanced Guard. 1903 
 
 A frontier novel, with a fine British soldier (perhaps a study of Lord Roberts) as most con- 
 spicuous personage. The love affairs go tragically. Contains a terrible picture of a native 
 dungeon, and of an officer who succumbs to its tortures and embraces Mohammedanism. 
 Period, just before the Mutiny. [6s., Blackwood.]

 the Fen country. [6s., Greening.] 
 
 The House of Torment. 1910 
 
 Also a rather gruesome story of Suffolk, and of Spain in the time of Philip and Mary (1555), 
 dealing with an English martyrdom and the Inquisition. [6s., Greening.] 
 
 GWYNN, Stephen Lucius [b. 1864]. The Old Knowledge. 1901 
 
 A well-written book, though not quite a successful novel. Attempts to combine two elements, 
 a modern love-story in a Donegal setting (the author has written an excellent topographical 
 work on Donegal), and the character and visionary ideas of a Celtic seer. The study of 
 folklore and mysticism is interesting. [6s., Macmillan.] 
 
 John Maxwell's Marriage. 1903 
 
 The tyrannous conduct of Protestant landowners in the north of Ireland, and the bitter feel- 
 ings of the dispossessed Catholics (1761-79). A strong story, telling of a forced marriage, 
 an autocratic father, and the quixotry of a spirited young man who joins the insurgent 
 colonists in America and dabbles in nationalist schemes. Manners and characters admir- 
 ably delineated. [6s., Macmillan.] 
 
 The Glade in the Forest. 1907 
 
 Seven short stories chiefly of peasant life in Donegal, e.g. The Grip of the Land, a moving story 
 of a small farmer's passionate struggles and his eldest son's emigration, [is., Maunsel.] 
 
 Robert Emmett : a Historical Romance. 1909 
 
 Treats on the lines of a novel the closing episode in Emmett's career, the attempted in- 
 surrection in Dubhn (1803), and employs his love for Sarah Curran, daughter of the 
 great orator, as a cardinal motive. Gives a map of Dublin in 1803, and is carefully exact.

 order, bedecked with the flowers and odours and brilliance of a tropical land. [6s. {$1.50), 
 Harper.] 
 
 One Immortality. 1909 
 
 A rather vague, meditative, and occasionally mystical book, thrown into the form of a novel, 
 but not concerned with incident or motive or character so much as general truths. The 
 characters are fellow-travellers from Venice to India, and are brought together to discuss 
 many things, largely from the contrasted standpoints of West and East. [6s. (§1.50), 
 MacmiUan.] 
 
 Hall, Moreton. General George. 1903 
 
 Georges Cadoudal and the Breton peasantry's conspiracy against the Consulate (1803-4) ; rather 
 a mechanical story. Scene,. Paris. Bonaparte and Talleyrand prominent. [6s., Unwin.]

 1898 
 
 Lonewood Corner : a Countryman's Horizons. 1907 
 
 Something between a novel and a string of musings and obiter dicta, written by a literary man 
 
 who has sought nature and the simple life in the country and gardening. Friends and 
 neighbours and village worthies are sketched, and their views on life set forth, and the 
 author gives us his own ideas (as they occur) on most things under the sun. [Ea. 5s. n..

 A romantic tale of the Debatable Land. Narrative and dialogue in a Crocketty mixture of 
 Lowland Scots and English. The Mawkin, a bewitching damsel of the peasant class, is 
 wooed by the Buccleuch in disguise. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Mary Hamilton : her Life and History. 1901 
 
 Mary Hamilton is one of Mary Queen of Scotland's Marys, and the plot runs that she is 
 Damley's wife, rendering his marriage with the Queen bigamous. While it takes liberties 
 with Mstory, shows careful study of the period (cf. The Queen's Quair, p. 264). Mary 
 Hamilton and her waiting-woman are romantic and appealing figures. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Hamilton, Rev. John Arthur [b. 1845]. The MS. in the Red Box. 1903 
 
 Isle of Axholme in the Fens, when the Dutch, under Vermuyden, were engaged in draining 
 the country, and had collisions with the inhabitants. Romance of the Weyman brand 
 with plenty of local colour. Hero loves a Dutch girl, and his rival is president of the 
 Council of the North. The curious title states that the MS. of the book was received by 
 the publisher in a mysterious manner ; the book was published anonymously, although 
 by that time the author's name had been disclosed. [6s., Lane.] 
 
 Captain John Lister. 1906 
 
 The story of a Parliamentarian during the Civil War, centring in the same district. [6s., 
 Hutchinson.] 
 
 Hamilton, Lillias. A Vizier's Daughter : a Tale of the Hazara War. 1900 
 
 A novel of Afghan life, as tragic and sombre as actual life under the Ameer is said to be. It 
 narrates the brief and unhappy career of an heroic daughter of the Hazaras, a rude but 
 worthy race of highlanders. She has to flee the pursuit of a savage general, seeks refuge 
 in the household of a royal minister at Cabul, and lays down her life for her protector. 
 The delineation of manners and ways of life in Afghanistan make the book much more 
 than a novel : the author was Court physician to the late Ameer, whose idiosyncrasies are 
 the subject of a careful portrait. [6s., Murray.] 
 
 Hamilton, M. Poor Elizabeth. 1901 
 
 A tragedy of character, utterly unrelieved in its gloom and anguish ; the history of a marriage 
 between a beautiful Eurasian and a highly correct Englishman. His hardness of heart 
 and cold superiority are exposed remorsely ; her passionate and impulsive nature, driving 
 her at last to crime, is handled with sympathy and evident knowledge of the racial prob- 
 lems involved. [6s., Hurst.]

 Hamley, Major-General William G. Traseaden Hall. 1882 
 
 A long, meandering story, extending from the beginning of the Peninsular War to the peace

 Provincial life and regimental life are both depicted with fullness and intimacy. [3 vols ,

 Two story-books about children which people of any age can enjoy. The children are delight- 
 ful little originals, with a fantastic imagination to which the author's whimsical yet 
 natural and unpretending style is charmingly attuned, [(i) Enlarged edn., 6s., Murray ;

 sphere reminiscent of Cranford ; readable by young as well as grown-up people. [6s., 
 Murray; I1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 — Master and Maid. 1910 
 
 The innocent flirtations and other captivating goings-on of an impulsive Irish girl, domiciled 
 with a staid and dignified house-master at a public school. The perfect ease with which 
 the characters are hit ofE by means of Ufelike and vivacious dialogue is a characteristic 
 of all Mrs. Harker's stories. [6s., Murray; $1.25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Harraden, Miss Beatrice [b. 1864]. Ships that Pass in the Night. 1893 
 
 The ships are human souls that speak each other in this earthly night of sorrow and uncer- 
 tainty, each with its message of comfort and hope. The scene is an Alpine health resort, 
 where many people, sorely tried in the voyage of life, come within hail and exert their 
 various influences on one another's lives. Teaches how hollow and selfish are the ways 
 of modern society, and how near to our hands are worthy duties. [3s. 6d., Blackwood ;

 Harris, Frank [b. 1856]. Elder Conklin ; and other Stories. 1895 
 
 Sketches and episodes of rough life in Kansas, done with extraordinary actuality. The Elder, 
 a conscientious Puritan, deliberately does wrong for his daughter's sake, who, as it ironically 
 happens, is quite unworthy of his devotion. A searching study of motive and of manners, 
 intertwined with a narrative of courtship. Gulmore the Boss is another intensely realistic 
 transcript from life, showing how elections are worked. Eatin' Crow and The Best Man in 
 Garotte depict life in a mining district, a state of things made familiar by Bret Harte's 
 more melodramatic tales. [63., Heinemann.] 
 
 ■ Montes the Matador ; and other Stories. 1900 
 
 Montes is a bit of Spain, a story of love and hate, hot passion and abounding life ; bull-fighting 
 is described with the enthusiasm of one who enters into the spirit of the game. First Love 
 is a girl's affection for a shabby-natured young man, to whom she attributes all sorts of 
 high qualities. Sonia is the history of an Englishman's liaison with a NihiUst. [6s., 
 Richards : o.p.] 
 
 The Bomb. 1908 
 
 The history of an anarchist outrage in Chicago, 1886 ; told in the first person by the perpe- 
 trator, with the startling realism of the tales mentioned above. In diagnosing the motives 
 that led up to the event, Mr. Harris not only gives an interesting psychological study, 
 but writes a kind of pamphlet on the cruel conditions of American industrialism, the 
 brutality of the police, and other social grievances. [6s., Long ; §1.50, Kennerley, New 
 York,] 
 
 Harris, J. Henry. Faith : a Story of Saint Forth. 1899 
 
 An attractive picture of pious and sound-hearted seafaring folk in Cornwall, contrasted with 
 the egoism and faithlessness of their son, who is spoiled by London and the ways of Mam- 
 mon, and becomes an agnostic. [3s. 6d., Nisbet.] 
 
 Our Cove. 
 
 1900 
 
 Intimate little pictures of a Cornish village and its people, old and young ; anecdotes, told in 
 the vernacular, of local peculiarities, observances, and superstitions, with touches of rustic, 
 humour and simplicity. [2s., Pollard, Truro.] 
 
 ■ The Luck of Wheal Veor ; and other Stories of the Mine, Moor, and Sea. 
 
 1901 
 
 Impressions of the old-fashioned Cornish peasant, his superstitions, his pietism, and his 
 humours. Almost wholly in dialect; just " transcripts of life." The eponymous tale deals 
 with the " nuggies " or spirits of the mine, still implicitly believed in. [6s., Gay & Bird.] 
 
 Harrison, Frederic [b. 1831]. Theophano : the Crusade of the Tenth Century : 
 a Romantic Monograph. 1904 
 
 As romance of small account, but interesting as a reconstruction of a period of history (956- 
 9). Constantinople and the decadent empires of East and West in the midst of the great 
 struggle by which the Saracens were held in check. The reconquest of Crete is a magnifi- 
 cent episode, and the chapters describing the life of the great mediaeval cities, Byzantium 
 in the reign of Nicephorus Phocas, Rome under Otto, Cordova under the Abassids, etc., 
 are not only picturesque and full of life, but show the grip and insight, of the experienced 
 historian. [los. n., Chapman.]

 Cecilia de Noel. 1891 
 
 An unique sort of ghost story. The ghost appears in a country house to seven different people,

 perhaps her finest achievement, [is. 6d., Unwin.]

 girl. [6s., IS. n., Blackwood.] 
 
 The Right Stuff : Episodes in the Career of a North Briton. 1908 
 
 Robin Fordyce, a huge, muscular, raw Scot, is shown in various stages of his progress from 
 bursar at Edinburgh University, and callow stupefaction at the wonders of Auld Reekie, 
 to the dignity of Privy Councillor and Secretary of State. [6s., is. n,, Blackwood ; 
 $1.20 n., Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 A Man's Man. 1909 
 
 More heroes and heroines of the same pleasing brand, showing what they are made of in the bigger 
 affairs of life as well as in the society of their families and their friends. There are episodes 
 of undergraduate life at Cambridge, and more strenuous scenes at sea, showing the same 
 healthy sentiment and reliance on the best in human nature. [6s., Blackwood; §1.20 n., 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 — — A Safety Match. 1911 
 
 The married life of a mine-owner and the eldest of a brood of children — happily drawn. The 
 writer's invincible optimism is evident in the pleasing, if superficial, characterization, 
 and his avoidance of the deeper aspects of things, in such an episode, for example, as 
 the labour struggle. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Hay, Marie [Baroness Herbert von Hindenburg ; b. 1873]. The Winter Queen: a

 Hayden, Eleanor C. {continued). — Islands of the Vale. 1908 
 
 [7s. 6d. n.. Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Miss Hayden's books, whether descriptive essays and sketches, fictitious tales, or novels 
 on the usual pattern, are based on genuine observation of country people and their ways 
 (apparently in Berkshire) . She sketches their characters with conscientious truth, repro- 
 ducing the rustic dialogue, racy sayings, and unconscious humour with obvious fidelity. 
 Turnpike Travellers is about tramps ; From a Thatched Cottage presents the grimmer 
 sides of rural life ; the rest are very pleasing, though devoid of any pastoral make-believe.

 Contain much history, public and private, some of it founded on a rare pamphlet. Life and 
 strange adventures of Ambrose Gwinett (1770), relating to France, England, and Holland 
 about 1712-5. The Court of Versailles, the intrigues connected with the Peace of Utrecht, 
 the squire's dealings with the Jacobites, etc., are the principal motives of a wild and breath- 
 less series of adventures. Louis XV, the Regent, and Marlborough are prominent figures. 
 Written as one book, but split for convenience of publication. [Ea. 6s., Hutchinson : o.p.] 
 
 The Shadow of a Throne. 1904 
 
 The story of the Dauphin (1793-1808); connected into a sort of trilogy with the foregoing. 
 The history very carefully studied, and rendered with excellent realism. Barras, Fouchc, 
 Josephine de Beauharnais, etc., well portrayed. A serious piece of work. [6s., Hutchinson.]

 Hewlett, Maurice Henry [b. 1861]. The Forest Lovers. 1898 
 
 Pure romance in the style of the mediaeval stories of Arthur and the English of Malory, with 
 touches of both Stevenson and Meredith — ^the wanderings and adventures of a knight 
 and a peasant girl whom he has rescued. The spirit and atmosphere of the age of knight- 
 errantry are recaptured in all their glamour, the scenery of a poetized New Forest, and 
 the picturesque castles, halls, towns, dress, and pageantry giving the impression of a 
 splendid piece of embroidered tapestry. [6s., 2s. n. (I1.50), Macmillan ; Illustrated 
 with sixteen coloured plates by A. S. Hartrick, 5s. n., Macmillan.] 
 
 Pan and the Young Shepherd. 1898 
 
 A pastoral fantasy, in two acts, in which classical myths and mediaeval religious ideas are 
 mingled with a more modem symbolism. Neanias woos and wins the dumb and cold 
 Nymph Aglae ; but Pan and the Earth Spirits recall her to their bosom. Yet Neanias 
 finds his bride again, now at length able to speak and love. [3s. 6d., Lane.] 
 
 Little Novels of Italy. 1899 
 
 Five stories of Renaissance times ; admirable pieces of historical actuality based on close 
 study of the period. In The Duchess of Nona an Italian adventurer brings home his beauti- 
 ful and stupid English bride, and tries to make her a tool in his ambitious schemes, but 
 is checkmated by her simple fidelity. Madonna of the Peach-Tree is a more poetical fantasy 
 of a peasant girl. All give a realistic impression of life as it ordinarily went on in mediaeval 
 cities, and at the same time reflect the swift changes from comedy to tragedy, the dramatic 
 contrasts of exquisite culture and diabolical crime that characterized the epoch. [6s., 
 2s. n., Macmillan.] 
 
 The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay. 1900 
 
 An imaginative reading of the character and life-history of Richard Cceur-de-Lion, poetical 
 rather than actiial in style and method. Richard's passionate, reckless, and domineering 
 personality is painted in hot colours ; and the lady of his knightly passion is a perfect 
 creature of romance, beside whom Berengaria seems quite a secondary figure. Depart- 
 ing from strict accuracy in the record of events, it is a brilliant, perhaps too brilhant, 
 reconstruction of the manners and emotions, the poetry and pageantry of the age of 
 tournaments and crusades. [6s., 2s. n. ($1.50), Macmillan.] 
 
 New Canterbury Tales. 1901 
 
 Stories supposed to be told in 1450, suffused with the best Renaissance spirit, the spirit of 
 chivalry, the worship of love, the devotion to women, combined with a vigorous sense of 
 love and delight in action. They tell of Edward III and the Countess of Salisbury, of the 
 Ghetto, of the border wars with the Welsh, etc. [6s., 2s. n. ($1.50), Macmillan.] 
 
 The Queen's Quair ; or. The Six Years' Ti"agedy. 1904 
 
 A very elaborate study of Mary Stuart and of all the baffling problems of her career (1561-7), 
 in the manner of Richard Yea-and-Nay, but more modern and reahstic. Analyses her 
 very soul ; discovers the woman beneath the queen ; reveals depths of passion and of 
 feminine weakness with remorseless scrutiny. All the great historic figures appear at full 
 length beside her, Murray, Morton, Chastelard, Rizzio, Darnley, Bothwell — the last as the 
 evil genius of the tragedy. A stern, magnificent picture of a most dramatic period — a 
 reading of history by the Ught of human passion. [6s., 2s. n., Macmillan.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Hewlett, Maurice Henry {continued). — Fond Adventures : Tales of the Youth 
 of the World. 1905 
 
 Four stories that seem to be equally inspired by Meredith (in psychology and also in style) 
 and by Kipling (in the strength and harshness of their actuality) ; scenes, France, England, 
 and Italy in the Middle Ages. The Heart's Key is a grim tale of love and vengeance in law- 
 less feudal days ; scene, a hill-fortress near Toulouse. Brazenhead the Great is a brilliant 
 miniature of town life at the time of Jack Cade's rebellion (1450). Buondelmonie's Saga 
 describes a Florentine vendetta in the manner of the Laxdaela Saga : it is based on Sir 
 Giovanni's eighth day, " How the parties of the Guelfs and Ghibellines arose." The Love 
 Chase presents the hot, passionate life of Milan in the Sforza period with sardonic realism. 
 [6s., 25. n.,, Macmillan ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Fool Errant : being the Memoirs of Francis Strelley, Esq., Citizen of 
 
 Lucca. 1905 
 
 A true spiritual Quixote — an English gentleman, committing what the world considered a 
 venial sin, flings away rank and wealth, and sets out on a fantastic pilgrimage to earn 
 forgiveness. His adventures in Italy (1721-41) among all classes of the people are as good 
 in their motley entertainment as any picaresque romance ; but the main interest is 
 in the strong, visionary character of Strelley, and the diversity of figures he meets with 
 in that unconventional and profoundly unmoral society. His lack of humour is a fertile 
 occeision of comedy. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Stooping Lady. 1907 
 
 Meredithian in the general situation, the psychology, and the style. A young lady of aristo- 
 cratic lineage stoops to love a chivalrous butcher. It is the year 1809 and the Radical 
 days of Cobbett and Sir Francis Burdett, and not only are we treated to a lively imbroglio 
 of warring motives and social dissensions, but to episodes of the stormy politics of the 
 early reform movement. There is plenty of piquant character-drawing and plenty of 
 Mr. Hewlett's wit and humour. [6s., 2s. n., Macmillan ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Spanish Jade. 1908 
 
 An Englishman in Spain, half a century ago, falls in with a sort of Carmen, and becomes 
 
 involved in a vendetta that brings out the elemental violence of Spanish character. A 
 brief story, like Carmen, but characteristically unlike Merimee in the hot splendour of 
 its descriptive method, which is, nevertheless, wonderfully effective. [6s., is. n., Cassell ; 
 90c. n., Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 Halfway House : a Comedy of Degrees. 1908 
 
 Open Country : a Comedy with a Sting. 1909 
 
 Rest Harrow : a Comedy of Resolution. 1910 
 
 These form a trilogy connected by the author's unorthodox philosophy of life, and by the 
 
 character of Mr. Senhouse, a Borrovian gentleman, who wanders about Europe in a tent, 
 teaches ladies the wrongness of marriage, devotes his days to wild gardening in desolate 
 places, and his nights to preaching or tliinking philosophic anarchism. In the first novel 
 he provides a solution to the love problems of Mary Middleham, wedded to an aged hus- 
 band, who took her from a humble sphere, but attracted by a sensual amorist. She finds 
 happiness, however, in a free union with the philosophic vagabond, who nevertheless, 
 in the second novel, is stated to have already conceived a finer and deeper passion for the 
 real heroine in the trilogy, Sanchia, a perfect Artemis with a perfectly human soul. 
 But Sanchia, led away by her worshipper's own teaching, yields herself to a swinish country 
 squire. The last novel of the three witnesses her deliverance, with spirit, at any rate, 
 still unsmirched, from this unworthy thraldom, and the story closes in an apotheosis of 
 nature worship, free love, and mystical paganism. As might be expected in fiction in- 
 tended as a solvent of the prevaiUng social prejudices, many of the characters stand 
 chiefly for intellectual points of view, and many long dialogues — and longer letters — 
 [Separately repr. sub tit. Letters (from Senhouse) to Sanchia upon Things as they are, is. 6d. 
 n.; Macmillan; 90c. n., Scribner, New York] — are of the nature of Socratic discussions, 
 distinguished by Mr. Hewlett's ironical humour and biting epigram. But many other 
 characters appear who have a hfe of their own, if not much like the normal citizen ; and 
 among these may be instanced the Percival family, headed by the City merchant and his 
 snobbish wife, their bevy of singular daughters, their aristocratic friend Lady Maria — 
 a sort of female Major Pendennis — and the slangy, rattling, staunch friend and good- 
 hearted Chevenix. [(i) 6s., Chapman (Si. 50, Scribner, New York) ; (2), (3) ea. 6s., 2S. n,,

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Hewlett, Maurice Henry (continue^. — Brazenhead the Great. 1911 
 
 Four episodes in the exciting career of the robustious soldier of fortune who made such a 
 figure in Fond Adventures (p. 265). Scenes: Italy, France, and England. [3s. 6d., Smith 
 & Elder; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Song of Renny. igii 
 
 Tries to renew the success of his first novel, The Forest Lovers. A prose roman d' aventure, 
 as the mediaeval jongleur would have called it, having, like the romances of Mr. Warwick 
 Deeping, Mr. Hewlett's imitator, no definite time or place, but revolving round the city 
 of Maintsonge, capital of the realm Jadis. Savage fighting, incessant love-making, glamour 
 ad libitum; the style a rich tapestry of chivalric splendour. [6s., 2s. n., Macmillan; 
 $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 HiCHENS, Robert Smythe [5. 1864]. The Green Carnation. 1894 
 
 An audacious comic fantasy, satirizing the ways of Society and parodying the mannerisms of 
 Oscar Wilde and other popular writers. [2s. 6d. n., Heinemann ; ?i, Keunerley, New 
 York.] 
 
 An Imaginative Man. 1895 
 
 A man of cynical and misanthropic temperament gives way to his morbid impulses, with the 
 result that he becomes a maniac. Scene, Cairo, with pictorial descriptions of the desert 
 and the city, particularly of the seamy side of native life. The writer adopts an unusual 
 moral standpoint, and his satire of the dullness, the petty hypocrisies and cant of modem 
 people is very scathing, [6s., Heinemann; $1.25, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Flames : a London Fantasy. 1897 
 
 The spiritualistic plot, how a sort of hnman Mephistopheles seizes one man's personality and 
 seduces another, has a serious bearing on the problem of moral influence. It is a weird 
 story, akin on one side to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and on the other to the realistic studies 
 of low and evil life by Zola and his imitators ; very long. Cuckoo Bright, though belonging 
 to the lowest class of women, is represented as capable of returning to purity through love 
 for a good man. [6s., Heinemann; §1.50, Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 The Londoners : an Absurdity. 1897 
 
 An enormous farce, and fairly successful as an attempt to be consistently funny for several 
 hundred pages. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 The Slave. 1899 
 
 Another fantasy, interwoven with real life : the heroine, a creature swayed by an overpower- 
 ing passion for jewels, whose loss by theft of a wondrous emerald is a cardinal incident ; 
 and the loves and sorrows of other personages. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 Tongues of Conscience. igoo 
 
 Five gloomy stories of remorse carried to morbid extremes. A man haunted by the cry of his 
 dead child whom he had neglected, a wife who poisons her husband because he writes 
 immoral fiction, such are the gruesome themes. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 The Prophet of Berkeley Square. 1901 
 
 Pure farce in the same genre as The Londoners. [6s., Methuen ; §1.50, Dodd & Mead, New 
 York.] 
 
 — Felix : Three Years of a Life. 1902 
 
 An introspective study, reminding the reader strongly of Bourget ; the interest centres in the 
 character of a woman who is a victim of the morphia habit. An unpleasant story, but 
 one of the strongest examples of Mr. Hichens's analytical work. [6s., Methuen ; S1.50, 
 Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — The Woman with the Fan. 1904 
 
 The luxuries and frivolities, the men and women of pleasure, and the morbid and decadent 
 features in general of smart Society in London, drawn with almost photographic realism, 
 and with complacency rather than satire. [6s., Methuen.]

 [3s. 6d., Methuen ; $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Bella Donna. 1909 
 
 [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Novels deeply inspired by the scenery and the elemental human nature of Africa and the East ; 
 Morocco, Atlas, and the Sahara, or Egypt, with its strange conglomeration of modern 
 and ancient, primeval desert and the luxury and squalor of civilization, furnishing the 
 stage. The descriptive passages are numerous and exuberant, recalling the magical 
 pens of Loti and Fromentin. Ishmaelitish Europeans, disappointed women of fashion, 
 renegade monks, and other morbid and exotic types, are brought into contact with the 
 more primitive native elements, and there is always a hot, tempestuous drama of passion 
 that gives scope to the author's notable powers of emotional analysis and semi-lyrical 
 rhapsody. 
 
 The Fruitful Vine. 191 1 
 
 Gives a vivacious picture of society in Rome, and one of his fullest portraits of a woman of 
 fine character. The principal parties are a retired diplomat and his wife, and the story 
 hinges on her childlessness. [6s., Unwin ; $1.40, Stokes, New York.]

 and its sadness. [3s. 6d., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 " HiLLiERS, Ashton " [Henry M. Wallis]. Memoirs of a Person of Quality. 1907 
 
 Adventures of a younger son who leaves the army and lives among Yorkshire Quakers. The 
 incidents are exciting, the characters miscellaneous, and his experiences give views of every 
 kind of life in different parts of England a century since. [5s., Heinemann ; sub tit. 
 Fanshawe of the Fifth, $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 As it Happened. 1909 
 
 The quest of an Anglo-Indian major for the children of an old comrade brings about a similar 
 series of multifarious experiences, illustrating the author's vast knowledge of the period 
 (1778-9) and insight into human nature. Madras, Chester, London, and Gibraltar (during 
 the siege) are the successive scenes, and we get another glimpse of Quaker life. [6s., 
 Hutchinson; $1.35 n., Putnam, New York.] 
 
 The Master Girl. 19 10 
 
 A remarkably imaginative reconstruction of life in the Stone Age. [6s., Methuen ; $1.25 n.,

 vigorous narrative which reviews the camp-life of both sides. [6s., Lawrence and BuUen.] 
 
 • The King's Deputy. 1899 
 
 Adventures of a young man from Galway in Dublin ; duels, love-making, and serio-comic

 Fields of Fair Renown. 1896 
 
 The characters are chiefly literary men, journalists, artists, and the like ; the villain is a

 Adventures of Israel Pendray. 1899 
 
 A story of Cornish people in Wesley's times (about 1 750) — a mixture of sensationalism, senti- 
 ment, and religious teaching, and a fair specimen of this author's didactic fiction. [3s. 6d., 
 Wame.]

 HoLDSWORTH, Aiuiie E. [Mrs. Eugene Lee-Hamilton]. Joanna Traill, Spinster. 
 
 1894 
 
 Joanna is an old maid whose capacity for love and self-sacrifice has been almost crushed out 
 by the domineering egoism of her sisters. But a happy accident brings out all her latent 
 strength of womanhood ; she does great work among the poor and lost ; she loves, but 
 dies a martyr to her own kindness before fruition. Opens up questions of public morality 
 in the story of a girl rescued from a base life. [2s. 6d. n., Heinemann ;j 50c., Cassell,

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Holmes, Arthur Heni}? [b. 1865]. Quinford. 1899 
 
 A character-study of two women, a young and a middle-aged ; with little story, but very 
 realistic dialogue, the intricate style and intricate thought apparently influenced by 
 Meredith. [6s., Unicorn Press : o.p.] 
 
 Hood, Hon. Alexander Nelson [Duke of Bronte ; b. 1854]. Adria. 1902 
 
 First and last a novel of locality. The author shows a fine appreciation of Venice, its people, 
 its art, and the subtle spirit of the place. Time of the revolt headed by Manin, and the 
 bombardment and capture by the Austrians {1848-9). [los. 6d. n., Murray.]

 Nell Gwynn's Diamond. 1899 
 
 [6s., Black.] 
 
 " Hope, Anthony " [Anthony Hope Hawkins ; b. 1863]. Father Stafford. 1891 
 
 A country-house comedy, with a party of four in love with each other, but the wrong couple 
 betrothed. To set this state of things right with proper regard for the convenances and 
 for the feelings of the young ladies demands a great deal of diplomacy and finesse. The 
 comedy works itself out with chat and repartee, and with satire that glances over the sur- 
 face of things, while deeper emotions are stirred in the case of the sworn celibate, whose 
 life is wellnigh wrecked by love for the witty heroine. [3s. 6d., is. n., Cassell ; $1.50, 
 Holt, New York.] 
 
 ,:-^ — A Change of Air. 1893 
 
 A revolutionary poet being received in county Society, and falling in love with the daughter 
 of a country squire, modifies his old opinions and exasperates the cranky village doctor, 
 who has taken the poems for his gospel : much epigrammatic dialogue. [6s., Methuen ; 
 75c., Holt, New York.] 
 
 The Prisoner of Zenda. 1894 
 
 Rupert of Hentzau [sequel]. 1898 
 
 The extraordinary adventures of Rudolf Rassendyll in an imaginary kingdom in Austrian 
 Tyrol. Duels and hairbreadth escapes, palace intrigues and conspiracies, and two episodes 
 in which the hero takes advantage of his likeness to impersonate the king, fill the two 
 volumes with romantic incident. The characterization also is romantic — the chivalry 
 of the hero, the princely nature of the heroine, and the cool energy of the villain. Rapid 
 and witty conversation is a feature in common with Mr. Hope's quieter novels. But 
 the distinctive effect is got by placing a thoroughgoing romance of cape and sword 
 in a nineteenth-century environment, and this, with the device of the imaginary state, 
 has been the keynote of numerous imitations, [(i) 3s. 6d., Pocket Edn., 2S. 6d. n.. Arrow- 
 smith, Bristol; $1.50, Holt, New York; (2) 6s., Pocket Edn., 2S. 6d. n., Arrowsmith ;

 necklace and the love affairs of two couples ; the characters French. [3s. 6d., Arrow- 
 smith ; 75c., Holt, New York,] 
 
 — The God in the Car. 1894 
 
 The love affair and the experiences in Society and in his own more strenuous sphere of a modern 
 " Juggernaut," a man of strong, aggressive personality who promotes a company to develop 
 vast concessions in South Africa. [6s., Methuen; $1.25, $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 270 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 "Hope, Anthony" (continued). — The Dolly Dialogues. 1894 
 
 One of the best things Mr. Hope has given us as a masterly example of literary technique. 
 Smart and witty chat between a Society lady and her admirer, whom she is alleged to have 
 jilted ; the characters lightly sketched and connected into a slight tale. [los. 6d. n., 6s., 
 Nisbet ; $2.50 n., Russell, New York ; $1.50, Holt, New York.] 
 
 A Man of Mark. 1896 
 
 The farcical inner history of a revolution in the imaginary South American republic of Aure- 
 ataland. [6s., Methuen ; 75c., Holt, New York.] 
 
 Comedies of Courtship. 1896 
 
 Six stories of the humours of courtship as observed by the non-interested person. Character- 
 istic examples of the author's pointed and vivacious dialogue, and of his easy sketching 
 of drawing-room society. [3s. 6d., Innes ; I1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 — Phroso. 1897 
 
 Adventures of an English nobleman on a Greek island — -sensational fighting, murdering, and 
 love-making in rapid succession. [6s., Methuen; is. n., Hodder; $1.50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — Simon Dale. iSgS 
 
 An amusing fantasia, sketching Restoration manners. The hero, a country squire, is the 
 King's rival for the favours of Nell Gwyn. Brilliant dialogue and exciting intrigue. [6s., 
 Methuen ; Si. 50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — The King's Mirror. 1899 
 
 A romance concerning itself in a thoughtful way with character, yet still imaginary character 
 in a purely imaginary world. The autobiography of a young German potentate — how he 
 frees himself from tutelage, and how his pleasure-loving nature is subdued to the duties 
 of his position, to which even passion must give way. The courtiers and politicians, 
 princesses and women of the world, who are the minor characters, are all conceived in 
 the half-serious, half-comic spirit of the earlier novels. [6s., Methuen ; ?i.50, 50c., Apple- 
 ton, New York.] 
 
 — Quisante. 1900 
 Quisante is the political adventurer ; a knave in his dealings, yet at times rising to the 
 
 plane of the born statesman ; intellectually strong, weak in body, with an indomitable 
 will. A beautiful aristocrat, fascinated by his brilliant personality, throws in her lot 
 with his, rejecting the gentlemanly and honest Marchmont. The book is mainly an 
 elaborate development of this situation and its consequences to each. The hero dies in 
 harness, and the lady remains loyal in life and in death. The Society scenes are character- 
 ized by the usual comedy and persiflage. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — Tristram of Blent : an Episode in the History of an Ancient House. 1901 
 Among the author's more serious work ; another comedy of high Society, the manners and tone 
 
 of which are reproduced with realism, and at the same time a facile mastery of its humours 
 History of a curious cause ciUbre : the two claimants to the peerage and estates of Blent, 
 the accredited heir and his beautiful cousin are tacitly in love with each other ; a situa- 
 tion fertile in comedy and in the lights and shades of character — ^the eccentric Tristrams 
 and several others being finely delineated. [2s. 6d. n., Murray; S1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 — The Intrusions of Peggy. 1902 
 Peggy is an impulsive, self-reliant young lady who intrudes into divers sections of London 
 
 life, and plays a part in some complicated episodes with a medley of different characters. 
 The differences of manners and personal idiosyncrasy are touched in with the usual art, 
 and a certain air of romance is thrown over the whole story. [6s., Smith & Elder ; $1.50, 
 Harper, New York.] 
 
 — Double Harness. 1905 
 The serio-comedy of married life, half a dozen wedded couples figuring in the drama and coming 
 
 out more or less unhappily. Though the person who gets the best of it is a self-indulgent 
 bachelor, the upshot of Mr. Hope's worldly wisdom is not entirely cynical, but just this — 
 that at the worst a little mutual forbearance and sympathy will help even the badly mated 
 to rub along together. [6s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 271 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 "Hope, Anthony" (continued). — A Servant of the Public. 1905 
 
 An essay in the more complex style of Henry James. Ashley, the centre of interest among a 
 number of characters, hsis to choose between the world of business and success embodied 
 in a millionaire's daughter, and the attractions of art, love, and all that, associated with 
 a pretty actress, who, however, has a husband to divorce. Motives are analysed in the 
 subtlest fashion, but the general motive is rather tenuous and inconclusive. [6s., Methuen ; 
 Si. 50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 Sophy of Kravonia. 1906 
 
 [6s., 2S. 6d. n., Arrowsmith, Bristol ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 — Tales of Two People. 1907 
 
 Sixteen stories which are thoroughly representative of Mr. Hope's compromise between the 
 claims of fine art and the attractions of popularity ; the characters mostly agreeable, 
 well-bred people, with a few whose snobbishness or vulgarity is lightly chastised, and 
 the plots of a slight, fanciful, or comic strain. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — The Great Miss Driver. 1908 
 
 ^Presents an average section of Society and a set of average characters, but further introduces 
 some touches of the fantastic character and comedy typified in the Zenda romances. 
 Miss Driver is a young woman of great wealth and spirit, surrounded by admirers and 
 aspirants, who unfortunately injures her character both in the social and the artistic 
 sense by running off with a lover — not her betrothed. [6s., Methuen; ?i.5o, McClure, 
 New York,] 
 
 Second Strings. 1910 
 
 [2s., Nelson.] 
 
 Mrs. Maxon Protests. 1911 
 
 Mrs. Maxon, a self-assertive woman, leaves the unappreciative Maxon, and after one or two 
 unsuccessful attempts at unorthodox marriage settles down with an Irishman. Not at 
 all improper in tone despite the theme. A "half-hearted onslaught on the established 
 social code " (Spectator). [6s., Methuen ; Si. 35, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Hope, Miss Graham. A Cardinal and his Conscience. 1901 
 
 Catherine de Mddicis, the Cardinal of Lorraine, etc. (1563-72). [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 My Lord Winchenden. 1902 
 
 Love affairs of Lord Winchenden and the wife he abducted. Scenes : London, Battersea;

 the time of the Test Act. Jeffreys, Ken, etc., appear. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 The Triumph of Count Ostermann. 1903 
 
 A graceful love-romance, overweighted somewhat with the personality of Peter the Great in 
 his declining years. Despising her low-bom husband. Princess Maria learns at length 
 that she has been married to a man of real greatness. In the scenes of Court life, its actual 
 brutality is by no means reaUstically treated. [6s., Smith&Elder; $1,50, Holt, New York.] 
 
 The Gage of Red and White. 1904 
 
 The heroine is Jeanne d'Albret, daughter of Marguerite d'Angouleme, sister of Francis I. At 
 the age of twelve she is married, unwillingly, to the Duke of Cleves. A piece of history, 
 hardly a novel or even a story. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 — -- The Lady of Lyte. 1905 
 
 Alludes to, but hardly describes in a way inteUigible to the ordinary novel-reader, the Popish 
 Plot and the contention between the Court party and the opposition ; and brings in 
 most of the famous names of the time (1678). [6s., Methuen.]

 The governing situation of this social comedy is the awkward position of an uncultured bride

 The Boss of Taroomba. 1894 
 
 The " Boss " is a dashing young woman, the owner of Taroomba, who rules her men on an 
 Australian sheep-farm with spirit. The story is short — the arrival of a German piano-

 scene of violence and bravery when the pair defend a storehouse against a gang of bush- 
 rangers, [is. n., Sands ; 75c., Scribner, New York.]

 — Peccavi. 1900

 $1.50, Scribner, New York.]

 T 273 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 HousMAN, Laurence [b. 1867]. An Englishwoman's Love-Letters. 1900 
 
 Published anonymously. The tragic love-story of a young lady and an Oxford undergraduate, 
 told in her letters, which are remarkable for a free display of emotion unusual in prose. 
 By various devices, beyond the ordinary methods of realisrn, the book aims at the effect 
 of a true narrative, and this, with the enigma of its authorship and its considerable literary 
 merits, fascinated the public at the time of its appearance. [5s. n., is. n., Murray ; $1.50, 
 Doubleday, New York ; 50c., 75c., Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 HowARTH, Anna. Katrina : a Tale of the Karoo. 1898 
 
 Domestic life at the time of the great epidemic of smallpox (1859) ; Katrina is a Dutch girl. 
 
 This and the following are of no particular consequence as literature, but of value as simple, 
 
 vivid, and sincere pictures of a life with which the writer is perfectly familiar. [6s., Smith 
 
 & Elder : o.p.] 
 
 Sword and Assegai. 1899 
 
 Adventures during the Kafi&r wars of the years 1846 and 1851, based on history and local know-

 adventures in the Banda Oriental, in South America, as told by himself. 1885 
 The romantic adventures of a young Englishman in the Banda Oriental (Uruguay) half a cen- 
 tury ago. His love of nature and gipsy temperament make his experiences in wonderful 
 surroundings very delightful ; and the Spanish-American character is vividly portrayed 
 in the course of the tale. [6s., Duckworth ; $1.50, Dutton, New York.] 
 
 ■ A Crystal Age. 1887 
 
 A very imaginative kind of Utopia, in which, among other things, sexual love is eliminated, 
 the community being organized, like the bees, with a Queen Mother, etc. A life free from 
 passion, strife, and vulgarity and carnal appetites is presented with a rare sense of beauty, 
 and then contrasted with actuality in the person of a man with commonplace habits 
 and motives. [6s., Unwin ; $1.50 n., Dutton, New York.] 
 
 El Ombu. 
 
 1902 
 
 El Ombu is a deserted farm-house with which a terrible history of crime and calamity is asso- 
 ciated. Powerful tales of the S. American pampas early in last century, at a time when 
 might was right, and horrible deeds were perpetrated in the strife between white men and 
 the aboriginal savages. Mr. Hudson tells his story and draws his stem, vengeful men — men 
 with devil in them — in the clean, objective way of Merim^e. The gloomy story of Marta 
 Riquelme, driven mad by the Indians and a heartless husband, persuades the Jesuit 
 priest who relates it that malignant spirits exist, warring against God and righteousness. 
 [2s. n., Duckworth; reissued as South American Sketches, is. n., Duckworth, 1909.] 
 
 Green Mansions. 1904 
 
 A more modern Atala (see Chateaubriand) — cloves of a European and a beautiful maiden of 
 
 mysterious origin and a diviner nature, who, like Kipling's Mowgli, knows the language 
 of the beasts and is their friend. Paints with the imagination of a poet and the knowledge 
 of a great naturaUst the wild, multitudinous life of the vast forests of Venezuela. [2s. 6d. 
 n., Duckworth.]

 The Fifth Queen Crowned [sequel]. 1908 
 
 A trilogy depicting the history of Katharine Howard and the Court of Henry VIII from 
 1540 to her execution. Mr. Huefler's forte is briUiant imaginative painting, and he fur- 
 nishes the modern reader with speaking likenesses — without going much into the psy- 
 chology of motive — of Henry and his consort. Lord Cromwell, Cranmer, the Lady Mary, 
 Throckmorton, Bishop Gardiner, and many other courtiers, statesmen, and nobles 
 (1539-42). [(i), (2) ea. 6s., Rivers; (3) 6s., Nash.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 HuEFFER, Ford Madox {continued). — An English Girl. 1907 
 
 The impressions of a well-bred English girl on a visit to New York, her bewilderment at the 
 spectacle of millionaire society, the plague of journalists, the blatant advertising, the vulgar 
 standards of conduct, and the unfathomable contrast between these and European ideas. 
 A kind of static comedy with no particular story to tell, but a number of piquant characters 
 from both sides of the Atlantic. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Mr. Apollo : a Just Possible Story. 1908 
 
 [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Half Moon : a Romance of the Old World and the New. 1909 
 
 Opens with a graphic picture of Rye in Jacobean times, and closes with the narrative of Henry 
 Hudson's famous voyage to the West. But the real interest belongs to the story of Edward 
 Coleman, the sailor, savagely persecuted by the machinations of a woman he had slighted . 
 [6s., Nash ; $1.50, Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 A Call : the Tale of Two Passions. 1910

 characters of mid-eighteenth century. (See Johnstone's Chrysal.) Glimpses of prison 
 life, Methodism, etc. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Ladies whose Bright Eyes. 191 1 
 
 A clever confusion of present and past— a publisher of the baser sort, a sordid exploiter of the 
 craze for printed matter, is transformed into the personality of a Greek slave, journeying 
 from Palestine in 1326, and witnesses vivid scenes of life in the days of chivalry. [6s., 
 Constable.] 
 
 Hume, Fergus W. [&. 1862]. The Mystery of a Hansom Cab. 1887 
 
 The plot is based on a murder in a cab, and mystery is piled upon mystery. Exciting

 A detective story. [2s. 6d., Long; $1.25, New Amsterdam Bk. Co., New York.] 
 
 Shylock of the River. 1900 
 
 An intricate and very sensational detective story, a fair specimen of this writer's melodramatic 
 tales. A pair of clever and wicked boys figure in the story. [6s., Digby & Long.] 
 
 Hunt, Margaret [Mrs. Alfred W. Margaret ; nee Raine ; b. 1831]. The Leaden 
 Casket. 1880 
 
 The varied fortunes and the love affairs of the heroine, neglected by her novel-writing 
 aunt, then launched by her mother as a professional beauty, give opportunities for good- 
 natured satire of aesthetic and literary society. The lady-novelist, disbursing more than 
 she gains; the two young poets, the "Millennium." Club, etc., are sketched with much 
 humour. [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto; Si, Holt, New York.] 
 
 Hunt, Miss Violet. The Maiden's Progress : a Novel in Dialogue. 1894 
 
 The social career of Modema, a blasie drawing-room beauty, her flirtations and disappoint- 
 ments, and how she found herself. Tart satire on social frailties. [2s. 6d., 2S., Chapman ; 
 $1, Harper, New York.] 
 
 A Hard Woman : a Story in Scenes. 1895 
 
 A series of lively dialogues, developing the story of a clever, but shallow and selfish woman 
 and her gradual moral declension. [6s., Chapman ; $1.25, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Way of Marriage. 1896 
 
 A dozen frothy tales about getting married, the happy couples usually having at least one 
 " past " in the background ; the last story, Mrs. Arne, is a try at the horrible. [6s., 
 Chapman.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Hunt, Miss Violet (continued). — The Human Interest : a Study in Incom- 
 patibilities. 1899 
 Farcical in plot, and in the drawing of the characters a satire on some modern types — -the 
 literary woman innocent of worldly knowledge, the egotistic painter, etc. Dialogue lively 
 and pointed. [6s., Methuen ; $1.25, Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 AiJairs of the Heart. 1900 
 
 Love episodes, comic or sad, of which the salient characteristic is the smartness and cynicism 
 of the style. The male creatures are all contemptible ; the women mostly silly, or else 
 clever flirts. [6s., 2s., Freemantle : o.p.]

 [6s., Stanley Paul.] 
 
 Hunter, Rev. Peter Hay [b. 1854]. My Ducats and My Daughter. 1884 
 
 Contains several good characters, e.g. the bigoted old Scottish Puritan, with his repellent 
 manner and lovable heart, and the clever author, whose brilliant talk is an earnest of his 
 talents. [3s. 6d., is. 6d., Oliphant, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Bible and Sword. 1905 
 
 The Covenanters and Claverhouse, in 1678 — the subject of Old Mortality — handled in an im-

 Two tales of self-sacrifice ^ Lady l^ary is an audacious and dashing woman of fashion and the 
 heroine of a pathetic story ; a group of lovable characters. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 A Friend of Nelson. 1902 
 
 A loose account of Nelson and the Baltic campaign, based on a diary kept by the author's 
 ancestor ; it has been criticized for historical inaccuracies. Brings in an imaginary plot oi 
 Bonaparte's to assassinate Nelson. Scene, largely, Ashdown Forest (i 803-5) . [6s., Longman.] 
 
 Crowborough Beacon. 1903 
 
 Country life at Tunbridge Wells and on the borders of Kent and Sussex, early last century — 
 a rather languid, conventional story — local history, folklore, smuggling, sectarian jealousy, 
 the intrigues of a Roman Catholic priest, and wrongful suspicions of murder are the in 
 gredients. [6s., Smith & Elder.]

 [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 276 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 HuTTON, Edward [b. 1875]. Frederic Uvedale. 1901 
 
 A sketch of a beautiful unworldly character, a modern knight of the Graal. He is a young 
 Roman Catholic, in whose soul two alien impulses are at war — a pagan love of nature 
 and life, and a mysticism that urges him towards the monastic ideal. His education in 
 England and experiences among the Italian clergy and in the riots at Milan are the outer 
 incidents ; but the main interest is spiritual. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 — — Sigisnrondo Pandolfo Malatesta, Lord of Rimini. 1906 
 
 The life of the despot of Rimini, Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta {d. 1328) thrown into the

 Further Adventures of Captain Kettle. 1899

 Jacks, Lawrence Pearsall [b. i860]. Mad Shepherds ; and other Human Studies. 
 
 1910 
 By the well-known professor of philosophy. To all appearance, sketches from life and records 
 of actual conversations among a set of hard-headed, clear-thinking village characters. 
 Shoemaker Hankin is a jewel, but of far rarer quality is the shepherd Snarley Bob — a 
 type perhaps unexampled in fiction — uncultivated, even brutish in externals, but having 
 the clear brain and embracing vision of a Spinoza. By native insight he perfects a system 
 of breeding as fruitful as Mendel's theories. By untaught reasoning and meditation he 
 gets to an intellectual standpoint that puts him on a level with the clearest European 
 philosophers and the profoundest of Hindu mystics. The book is a pertinent criticism of 
 talking people who never get near " the bigness o' things." [4s. 6d. n., Williams ; $1.20 n.. 
 Holt, New York.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Jacks, Lawrence Pearsall (continued). — Among the Idolmakers. 1911 
 
 Seems a little fantastic — the idea of an enterprising, one-man firm supplying prehistoric in- 
 plements, mummies, idols, and any curious object wanted by any conceivable person under 
 the sun — but is really but a moderate caricature of " up-to-date " business organization 
 and a reasonable presentment of human nature. [5s. n., Williams.] 
 
 Jacob, Violet [Mrs. Arthur Jacob, nee Kennedy -Erskine]. The Sheep Stealers. 
 
 .1902 
 A romance of Herefordshire and Brecknock, time of the Rebecca Riots (1843-4), which arose 
 through the increase of highway tolls. A young farmer gets mixed up with a murder case 
 and then embarks in the sheep-stealing traffic. His love affairs go wrong, and the sequel 
 is tragic. Strong, uncouth, simple characters and elemental emotions are portrayed against 
 a background in perfect keeping. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.20 n., Putnam, New York,] 
 
 The Interloper. 1904 
 
 Country life and manners on the east coast of Scotland. A romance of family history — 
 a young laird loves and is beloved, but learns that he is illegitimate and nameless. Some 
 interesting and thoroughly natural portraiture of men and women. Realizes the past 
 (1801— 2) without straining after effect. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The History of Aythan Waring. 1908 
 
 Much on the lines of The Sheep Stealers. Scene, the Wye Valley, Crickowell, and the Brecon 
 Hills in the times of contraband trade and fights with excisemen ; the hero found guilty 
 of attempted murder. [63., Heinemann; I1.25 n.. Button, New York.] 
 
 — Irresolute Catherine. 1909 
 
 A maid on a farm and her lovers — one a shepherd, the other a rich gentleman ; with sketches 
 of Welsh Baptists. [2s. 6d. n., Murray ; $1, Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 — Flemington. 191 1 
 
 A novel of 1 745 laid in the neighbourhood of Brechin and Montrose, and mingling the interests 
 of character and incident in the manner of the Waverley novels. [6s., Murray.] 
 
 Jacobs, William Wymark [b. 1863]. Many Cargoes. 1896 
 
 Miscellaneous yarns in sailor's lingo, rich in unconscious humour : love scenes on shipboard 
 {A Love Passage), a female tartar (The Cook of the Gannet), practical jokes (A Change of 
 Treatment), and funny misadventures (In Mid Atlantic) ; portraits of old salts, Thames 
 bargees, bigamous captains (Mated), love-lorn mates, and the like. The comedy in this 
 and the subsequent tales is as delightfully unreal as Sheridan's. The characters produce 
 it at high pressure, and enjoy it as much as we do. They are average people with single 
 traits absurdly exaggerated, and everybody is either a butt or endowed with extraordinary 
 powers of wit and sarcasm. [3s. 6d., Lawrence & BuUen ; $1, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 The Skipper's Wooing. 1897 
 
 The skipper and his crew go from port to port in search of a missing man, his sweetheart's 
 father, and meet with absurd adventures. Another short tale is appended, The Brown 
 Man's Secret. [3s. 6d., Pearson ; Si, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — Sea Urchins. 1898 
 
 Deals chiefly with life in the mercantile marine. The boy who-fondly believed he was aboard 
 a pirate is a diverting specimen of the urchins. [3s. 6d., Methuen.] 
 
 A Master of Craft. 1900 
 
 Presents a ludicrous situation aboard a coasting schooner ; the skipper gets engaged to three 
 young women at once, and extricates himself by a sham suicide. [3s. 6d., Methuen ; 51.50, 
 Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — Light Freights. 1901 
 
 Stories of landlubbers and yokels, along with the customary anecdotes of the coasting trade.

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Jacobs, William Wymark {continued). — ^At Sunwich Port. 1902 
 
 A longer story compounded of the same ingredients, the feud of two captains generating a 
 variety of comic situations loosely knit to make a novel. [3s. 6d. : o.p. ; 6d., Newnes ; 
 $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Lady of the Barge. 1902 
 
 Mingles comic and gruesome stories. The Monkey's Paw is a powerful essay in the latter 
 vein. But humour is the main element, and comes out as well as ever in the title-story. 
 [3s. 6d., Harper ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Odd Craft. 1903 
 
 Short Cruises. 1907 
 
 Similar collections of pleasantries, varied with an occasional excursion into the realm of 
 the uncanny. Policemen, landsmen, mariners, Thames-side people, womenfolk, make 
 admirable fooling, [(i) 3s. 6d : o.p., 6d., Newnes; $1.50, Scribner, New York; (2) 
 3s. 6d., Hurst; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Dialstone Lane. 1904 
 
 Three extremely commonplace individuals — arrant landlubbers — make an expedition to the 
 South Seas in search of a treasure which turns out a hoax. Their preposterous adventures, 
 the conversations of a shrewd sea-captain, and the love affairs of his termagant niece are 
 knit rather perfunctorily into a long story. [6s., Newnes.] 
 
 Captains AU. 1905 
 
 Farces and drolleries of mariners and others on land, with one grisly tale of the sea — Over 
 the Side. The Temptation of Burge, a converted burglar, is one of the most comic. The 
 farcical characters, and the admirable way they express themselves, make the somewhat 
 clumsy plots pass muster. In Four Pigeons, the ingenious Bob Pretty, the poacher, 
 makes one of his appearances. [3s. 6d., Hodder ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Salthaven. 1908 
 
 A much less farcical comedy than the preceding, but the, humour is well sustained in the 
 characters and the household affairs of a sea-captain and an attractive widow. [6s., 
 Methuen ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Ship's Company. 191 1 
 
 Another draught from the same fount — ludicrous farce enacted by the stock seamen, small 
 shopkeepers, spinsters, wives, and widows. [3s. 6d., Hodder ; I1.25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Jeans, A. The Stronger Wings. 1909 
 
 Gives an analysis of the main currents and undercurrents of the revolutionary period in Austria 
 and Hungary, with portraits of Mettemich and Windischgratz. [6s., Stock.] 
 
 Jeffery, Walter [b. 1861]. The King's Yard : a Story of Old Portsmouth. 1903 
 
 A novelist's version of a notorious case — the half-successful plot of an American, John Hill 
 or John the Painter, during the War of Independence, to fire Portsmouth Dockyard. 
 Full of minute particulars about the old town, the " mateys " of the yard, and other 
 features of the time (1776-7). [3s. 6d., Everett.] 
 
 Jepson, E. [b. 1864] and Capt. D. Beames. On the Edges of the Empire. 1899 
 
 Realistic sketches — of the notebook order — of frontier life in the native Indian regiments 
 and in cities. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.25, Scribner, New York.]

 The same method — ^realistic reporting — applied to political society in England a few years

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Keats, Miss Gwendoline [" Zack "]. Life is Life ; and other Tales and Episodes. 
 
 1898 
 Life is Life is a longish story of Australian life, rising by a climax of calamity to heights of 
 pathos. A lawless and passionate scoundrel, who wrecks the lives of wife and son and 
 dies impenitent, is the most powerful figure, while a humble old woman, by her kindness 
 and endurance and her pithy sayings, expounds the thought that " life is life." The other 
 stories deal with Australian, German, Italian, and Devon folk, the last speaking in broad 
 dialect. [6s., Blackwood ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 On Trial. 1899 
 
 A study in primitive ethics. A country girl commits a felony for the sake of a weak lover, 
 who makes her life a wreck and is too cowardly to stand by her, though miserably con- 
 scious of his degradation. The Devonshire dialect gives point to the humorous sayings 
 of the country folk. [6s., Blackwood ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The White Cottage. 1901 
 
 The man who engages the reader's sympathies, though by no means a hero, is robbed of the 
 woman he loves by a village libertine, whom he subsequently convicts of bigamy. Most 
 of the characters are fisher-folk, who are subjected to drastic analysis. [6s., Constable ; 
 $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Tales of Dunstable Weir. 1901 
 
 Seven tales told in dialect by a Devonshire labourer. Not unrelieved by humour, they are 
 chiefly melancholy, the deep, unobtrusive pathos of life being revealed with delicate art. 
 Primitive character and primitive passions are delineated, with no intrusion of plot or 
 of irrelevant problems, e.g. Benjamin Parrot's Fancy and Mary Amelia Spot. [6s., is. n., 
 Methuen ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Roman Road. 1903 
 
 Roland, inheriting " Groot " — the wherewithal to pay his debts — learns he is illegitimate ; shall 
 he keep silence, or deliver the property to the rightful heir ? The foolish, guilty soul of the 
 mother is, however, the chief object of the reader's interest. The Balance is a drama of 
 three souls — a debauched novelist, a moral wreck ; his loyal friend ; and a girl both love. 
 The Thoughty Ones is a story of children. There is in all three tales a parcimony of phrase, 
 of description, of narrative, that demands hard thinking. They have the abstract, riddling 
 manner of the apologue. [6s., Constable; $1.50, Scribner, New York.]

 A humanitarian study of slum life by a worker among the poor and the lost. Polly is the

 many harsh experiences, happily married. [3s. 6d., Bowden : o.p.]

 Bell Barry. 1891 
 
 An exciting story, laid in Ireland, then in Liverpool, and in part aboard a liner. The Irish 
 servants and other minor characters, and a stolid, good-natured Yorkshireman provide a 
 good deal of humorous talk. [2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Kipling, Rudyard [6. 1865]. Plain Tales from the Hills. 1887 
 
 Candid and sometimes scathing pictures of Anglo-Indian life and manners, and superficial 
 sketches of the natives : the peculiar realism has been compared to a searchlight shining 
 intensely on successive portions of the subject and constantly uncovering the dirty 
 aspects of life. The following are representative of this initial stage of the author's de- 
 velopment : A GeVm- destroyer, His Wedded Wife, Tod's A mendment. In the House of 
 Suddhoo, Beyond the Pale, The Gate of the Hundred Sorrows, and a magnificent farce. The 
 Taking of Lungtungpen. 
 
 Soldiers Three ; The Story of the Gadsbys ; and. In Black and White. 1888-9 
 
 Soldiers Three — episodes in the Indian life of three British privates, a swaggering Irishman 
 of drunken propensities and humorous tongue, who is also a man if there ever was one, 
 a phlegmatic Yorkshireman, and a peppery little Cockney, a trio of fast friends, who 
 stand shoulder to shoulder in many perils and escapades, and in the not less trying ordeals 
 of peace. A wonderfully actual presentation of the surface aspects of life in the ranks. 
 Each man keeps to his native vernacular, and the barrack-room talk is freely reproduced, 
 with its garniture of oaths and slang. A delight in strenuous muscular life animates the 
 stories, the battle-pieces are filled with true martial spirit and unrestrained joy in blood- 
 shed. The Gadsbys is a morbid episode of married life in the officers' quarters, cast into the 
 dramatic form of colloquial, slipshod talk, which reveals the hidden workings of character. 
 In Black and White purports to be translations of native stories, and to show, from the 
 inside, the native character and way of looking at things ; Oriental in style and imagery ; 
 a good example is In Flood-Time, an idyllic story which a native tells to an Englishman. 
 
 Wee Willie Winkie ; Under the Deodars ; The Phantom 'Rickshaw ; etc. 
 
 1888-9 
 
 Wee Willie Winkie shows the author's love of children and insight into their minds. The 
 prevailing theme of Under the Deodars is an ugly one, " men and women playing at tennis 
 with the seventh commandment " ; the unspeakable Mrs. Hauksbee is a prominent 
 figure. The 'Rickshaw is a psychical story of a kind to try the nerves ; an Englishwoman, 
 cruelly misused by her lover, returns to haunt him in the very streets of Simla. 
 
 285 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Kipling, Rudyard [continued). — The Light that Failed. 1891 
 
 An ill-knit but intensely realistic narrative of bohemian life. The ambitious and swaggering 
 hero is a war-artist, who goes blind, loses his love and his ambition, and is robbed of his 
 one masterpiece. Full of the lust of life and the joy of action. 
 
 Life's Handicap : being Stories of mine own People. 1891 
 
 Further doings of the famous three, e.g. The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney, an inimitable 
 piece of boisterous comedy, and the touching revelation of Mulvaney's character in 
 The Courting of Dinah Shadd. Stories at large of Anglo-Indians, e.g. The Man Who Was, 
 uncanny yam about a man's return from worse than death ; Without Benefit of Clergy, the 
 pathetic narrative of an Englishman's liaison with a Mohammedan ; The Mark of the Beast 
 and The Return of Imray, two ghastly tales of madness and crime. Also some tales of 
 native life, e.g. The City of Dreadful Night and The Finances of the Gods. 
 
 — Many Inventions. 1893 
 
 My Lord the Elephant and In the Rukh foreshadow the ampler studies of animal-character 
 in the Jungle Books. The Finest Story in the World is a tale of metempsychosis, amazing 
 in its imaginative actuality. Brugglesmith is a character-farce. In His Private Honour 
 and Love 0' Women the three privates reappear, but the themes are more serious — con- 
 science, remorse, and retribution — though the manner is as boisterous as ever. Badalia 
 Herodsfoot is a realistic picture of the ugliest kind of Whitechapel life. An allegory, The 
 Children of the Zodiac and various other records of life in the East and elsewhere, add 
 to the manifold diversity. 
 
 — The Jungle Book. 1894 
 
 — The Second Jungle Book. 1895 
 
 Fables of man and beast in India, poetical rather than allegorical in motive, aiming to inter- 
 pret the actual character and mode of reasoning of the animals, so far as human insight 
 and sympathy can go. The laws of the jungle, the distinct habits of the different nations, 
 the natural phenomena of the desert, and the effect of drought and of human hostility 
 are depicted with essentially the same realism as the author applies to human subjects. 
 Mowgli, the wolves' foster-child, the friend and free companion of the jungle-folk, is one 
 of the most fascinating creations in modern literature. [Ea. $1.50, Century Co., New 
 York.] 
 
 — Captains Courageous. 1897 
 
 Depicts the life of New England fishermen on the high seas, with the same reahsm, the harsh 
 lingo and the uncouth technicalities being reproduced with astonishing skill. Tells how 
 an invertebrate and pampered young millionaire is accidentally torn from his mother, 
 and made a man by drastic treatment at the hands of a rough but kindly skipper. 
 [$1.50, Century Co., New York.] 
 
 — The Day's Work. 1898 
 
 More cosmopolitan in subject and various in style. India is the scene in The Bridge Builders, 
 an imaginative story of a great engineering feat, which combines in one purview the modem 
 Englishman, the native as he thinks and acts, and the still living mythology of Hindu- 
 stan ; The Tomb of his A ncestors and William the Conqueror are a twofold story of English 
 fortitude and self-devotion in the presence of famine. American locomotives are the 
 dramatis personcB of -007 ; The Ship that Found Herself likewise gives a tongue to brute 
 mechanism ; The Maltese Cat is a vivacious story in the Jungle Book genre ; and the 
 poetical story of dream-life, called The Brushwood Boy, is of the same imaginative class 
 as The Finest Story in the World. 
 
 — Stalky & Co. 1899 
 
 A counterblast to St. Winifred's, Eric, and all kinds of goody-goody literature and senti- 
 mentality. Goes deeper into the queer psychology of the boy than almost any other 
 book, though it must be admitted these boys are not quite like other boys, if on the whole 
 they are better. Episodes in the lives of three boys at an army college (Westward Ho ! 
 in Devon) . The three are weird individuals in their exclusiveness and knowingness, but 
 Stalky is of the stuff of which heroes are made ; their exploits make them a terror to 
 the masters and their unappreciative schoolfellows. Beetle, one of Stalky's henchmen, 
 is said to be a portrait of the author himself, who was educated at this college. [6s., 
 Macmillan ; $1.50, Doubleday, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Kipling, Rudyard (coniinued). — Kim. 1901 
 
 Kim is a street Arab from Lahore, derelict child of an Irish soldier ; an alert, precocious little 
 
 vagabond, whose apprenticeship to the secret service gives him an unique education in 
 
 the shady walks of Anglo-Indian life. His journeys through India as the disciple of an 
 
 old Lama bring before the reader a rich panorama of the multifarious life of the country. 
 
 Just-So Stories for Little Children, 1902 
 
 More playful and fantastic beast-fables than the Jungle Book stories, and cleverer though not 
 so natural and deeply imaginative ; describing in absurd, burlesque style How the Whale 
 got his Throat, How the Leopard got his Spots, How the Rhinoceros got his Skin, How the 
 Alphabet was Made, and so on. Perhaps the very best is The Elephant's Child, which tells 
 how the elephant got his trunk. \Illus. by the Author.] 
 
 Traffics and Discoveries: 1904 
 
 Stories more discursive in subject and uneven in quality. They ranks with The Brushwood 
 Boy and The Finest Story in the World as pure imagination, a subtle fantasy in which even 
 a motor-car becomes a thing of romance. It describes a blind lady with powers of supernal 
 vision denied to those who have eyes, and in its exquisite tenderness for little ones recalls 
 Lamb's pathetic Dream Children. The other stories are brilliant snapshots of many sub- 
 jects, from the humorous doings on a British cruiser in The Bonds of Discipline and the 
 naval manoeuvres in Their Lawful Occasions to the crude imperialism of the Boer War 
 stories. The Captive and A Sahib's War. 
 
 ■ Puck of Pook's Hill. 1906 
 
 Two children encounter Puck the immortal fairy on the top of the South Downs, and he tells 
 them a wonderful story of the Stone Men and the fatal discovery of weapons made of metals. 
 
 Actions and Reactions. 1909 
 
 More miscellaneous still. A Habitation Enforced tells how an American millionaire and his 
 wife acclimatize themselves in an old-world Sussex village. A Deal in Cotton is an African 
 tale, and a matchless example of Mr. Kipling's clairvoyance in its portrait of the mighty 
 slave-dealer. In The House Surgeon his ghostly imagination has its fling. In Garm — a 
 Hostage we are reintroduced to Privates Ortheris and Learoyd, in an excellent story of a 
 bull-terrier. With the Night Mail is a fantasy of the year 2000 a.d. Americans, Anglo- 
 Indians, Jews, Arabs, Hindus, and animals are presented with unerring truth, each 
 speaking after his kind. 
 
 Rewards and Fairies. 1910 
 
 A continuation of the Puck of Pook's Hill theme. Later episodes of English history, in the same 
 magical dress, bringing wonderfully home to us the identity of the past and the present. 
 The poems interspersed are triumphs of metrical skill. [6s., Macmillan ; Pocket edn.,

 on a legendary story of the early days of fur-trading ; time of Louis XIV (1697). [$1-25,

 Laffan, Mrs. Robert Stuart de Courcy [Bertha Jane, nee Grundy, formerly Mrs. 
 Leith Adams]. Madelon Lemoine. 1879 
 
 A novel of conventional design and peopled by conventional characters, but in many respects 
 lifelike and truthful. Madelon is a beautiful woman of unknown antecedents who makes 
 her home in a seaside place in the West, and becomes by turns a source of blessing, a 
 mark for gossip, an object of love, and a victim of trial. Mrs. Laffan has written about 
 a dozen other novels of the same calibre. [2s. 6d., Sonnenschein : o.p.]

 Lawless, Hon. Emily. Hurrish : a Study. 1886 
 
 An impressive picture of the half-barbarous peasantry on the Atlantic shore, deeply sympa- 
 thetic in its rendering of their sombre and imaginative temperament. Hurrish is a 
 generous, lofty, and appealing type of primitive manhood. The writer gives a very un- 
 sympathetic account of the doings of the Land League. [6s., Methuen : o.p.] 
 
 With Essex in Ireland. 1890 
 
 Supposed to be the secretary's journal of the expedition of Lord Essex to suppress the

 state of Ireland day by day, recounting the ambushes, battles, and skirmishes that in 
 1599 beset the progress of the expedition. A mournful and terrible narrative. [6s., 
 Methuen.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Lawless, Hon. Emily [continued). — Grania : the Story of an Island. 1892 
 
 On the barren, melancholy Aran Isles, off the Galway coast, inhabited by a primitive race 
 of iishermen, whose dreamy and humorous temperament, with its strain of gloom, is 
 interpreted with sympathetic tenderness, is played out a tragedy, the actors a pure and 
 lofty fisher-girl, a true child of Nature, her saintly sister, and the lover, typically Irish in 
 his goodness and in his vices. [3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., Smith & Elder.]

 A gloomy account of the natives beyond the Pale, and their struggles with the English in

 Lawson, Henry Hertzberg [b. 1867]. While the Billy Boils. 1897 
 
 Mr. Lawson's stories are chiefly of note for their intimate picturing of actual life in the 
 bush. These are a characteristic set of painfully realistic sketches of the hardships in 
 the life of a settler. The best are The Drover's Wife and His Father's Mate. [5s., Simpkin.j 
 
 On the Track ; and, Over the Sliprails. 1901 
 
 Similar stories and pictures of human nature in the bush, presenting a rough and lawless 
 manner of life, and characters of a rude and disreputable class — tramps, sharpers, gold- 
 diggers, wastrels, as well as squatters, cattle- drivers, sheep-shearers, etc. — accentuating 
 the more sombre aspects of Australian life. [3s. 6d. n., Australian Book Co.] 
 
 The Country I come from. 1901 
 
 Short sketches and concise character-portraits of bush life — in their masculine vigour and 
 terse expressiveness, as in their sharp contrasts and grim touches of reality, not unlike 
 Bret Harte. [6s., Blackwood.] 1 
 
 Joe Wilson and his Mates. 1901 
 
 [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Children of the Bush. 1902

 Printing Co., Montreal ; 3s. 6d. n. (f 1.25 n. Lane).] 
 
 Nonsense Novels. 1911

 The social intercourse, the sensitive artistic life, and the love-making of a colony of painters

 passages. [6s., De La More Press.]

 A whimsical tale of the walking tour of a latter-day troubadour in search of his ideal bride. 
 The fanciful irresponsibihty of the style, the sensuousuess, and the imitation of Sterne's 
 mannerisms and sentimentality are characteristic of the author. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 The Romance of Zion Chapel. 1898 
 
 The story of a bereaved lover, introspective and morbidly sentimental, inspired with much 
 of the passion and abandon of Rossetti's love-sonnets. Incidentally tells how the aesthetic

 " Lindsay, Harry " [H. Lindsay Hudson]. Methodist Idylls. 1897 
 
 More Methodist Idylls. 1899 
 
 Portraits and biographical sketches from a Paritan connexion in Wales, containing several 
 characters of much individuality and pathos, outlined with affectionate care. Piety, 
 renunciation, fortitude, are taught in the way of parables by these " annals of the poor." 
 [(i) 3s. 6d., (2) 6s., Bowden : o.p.] 
 
 An Up-to-date Parson ; and other Stories. 1899

 Contrasts of new and old, town and village Methodism. Mab is a waif,, brought up by two 
 childless people, whose religious yearnings she disappoints by going on the stage. In 
 the end penitence, wedlock, and happiness are satisfactorily secured. [63., Marshall.] 
 
 ^ — Judah Pyecroft, Puritan. 1902 
 
 The account of the expulsion of Puritan clergymen through the Act of Uniformity has some 
 historical verisimilitude ; not so the rest of the story (1660-5). [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 LiPSETT, Caldwell. Where the Atlantic Meets the Land. 1896 
 
 Sixteen short sketches, several dealing — not too sympathetically — with Donegal peasantry, 
 passionate and childish beings, in whose undisciplined natures tragic and humorous 
 elements are close neighbours. [3s. 6d. n.. Lane.] 
 
 LiZARS, R. and K. M. Committed to His Charge. 1900 
 
 A sketchy delineation of social life in an old-fashioned village in Canada. The aim of the authors 
 is chiefly to satirize the ladies of the parish. [6s., Greening.] 
 
 Locke, William John [b. 1863]. Derelicts. 1897 
 
 The principal character suffered imprisonment for fraud, but patiently endeavours to live a 
 new life in spite of the ostracism of society. His hopeless love for a lady, who through 
 exceptional events is flung derelict upon the world, and his rivalry with his strait-laced 
 cousin, an upright but pharisaical clergyman, are the main lines of a piteous story that 
 nevertheless ends in happiness. [6s. {Si. 50), Lane.] 
 
 A Study in Shadows. 1898 
 
 [3s. 6d. (S1.50), Lane.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Locke, William John {continued). — The Beloved Vagabond. 1906 
 
 Career of a picturesque, fascinating, unreal ne'er-do-well ; like all Mr. Locke's novels, an 
 unconventional manipulation of conventional material. [6s. {$1.50), Lane.] 
 
 Septimus. 1909 
 
 A cHldUke inventor unexpectedly involved in the drama of real Ufe. [6s., Murray ; §1.50, 
 Lane, New York.] 
 
 Simon the Jester. 1910 
 
 An improbable story of the sudden conversion of an invertebrate dilettante into a man 
 with a faith in Ufe, purpose, and a will. [6s. (?i.5o). Lane.] 
 
 The Glory of Clementina Wing. 1911 
 
 Another clever comedy of this very unreal world. Clementina is an unprepossessing female 
 of thirty-five with a " heart of gold " ; the other chief character is a grotesque idealist 
 who plays at being Timon — both are characteristic studies in the way of Dickens. 
 [6s. (ii.30 n.), Lane.] 
 
 Lord, M.. L. An Obstinate Parish. 1900 
 
 The tragi-comedy enacted in a country parish as a consequence of the advent of a ritualistic 
 clergyman. Brings out the different characters and humours of the parishioners, and 
 paints the too-energetic divine in very unattractive colours. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Lo RIMER, Norma Octavia [b. 1864]. Mirry-Ann. 1900 
 
 Village life among the fishing population of the Isle of Man, the local characters, the manners 
 and customs, drawn with knowledge. [6s., Methuen ; $1, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Catherine Sterling. 1903 
 
 [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 On Etna. 1904 
 
 A romance of brigand life. [6s., Heinemann.]

 [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 Lorraine, Rupert. The Woman and the Sword. 1908 
 
 The times of Laud and the Star Chamber, and also of the Thirty Years' War (c. 1634). Scenes : 
 Somerset, London, and Germany. A good depiction of rough military life, with an English 
 soldier of fortune for hero. [6s., Unwin ; 75c., McClurg, Chicago.] 
 
 Loud, Emily S. Taurua ; or, Written in the Book of Fate. 1899 
 
 The scenery, people, superstitions, and legendary lore of the South Seas treated in a romantic 
 and idealistic manner from the native point of view. [6s., Low : o.p.] 
 
 Lowe, Charles. A Fallen Star ; or, The Scots of Frederick. 1895 
 
 A mixture of fiction and fact, dealing with the Scots who served under Frederick the Great 
 in the Seven Years' War. The King and the dissipated Young Pretender, Marshal Keith, 
 and other Scots appear. [2s., Downey : o.p.] 
 
 Lowis, Cecil \h. 1866]. The Treasury Officer's Wooing. 1899 
 
 A love-story involving several characters, with a background of Anglo-Burmese life and 
 manners. [6s., Macmillan.] 
 
 Lubbock, Basil \h. 1876]. Round the Horn Before the Mast. 1902 
 
 [6s., Murray ; $2 n., Dutton, New York.]

 [6s., Murray.] 
 
 292 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Lubbock, Basil (continued). — Deep Sea Warriors. 1909 
 
 Realistic records of the daily routine and the multifarious experiences of life in the old-fashioned 
 sailing-ship. The author knows it at first hand, and has the knack of reproducing his 
 impressions with extraordinary vigour. [6s., Methuen ; ?i.5o, Dodd & IVIead, New 
 York.] 
 
 Lucas, Edward Verrall. Listener's Lure : an Oblique Narration. 1906 
 
 Letters and replies written by a number of imaginary correspondents, people in all sorts 
 of stations and of various characters, who touch on the most miscellaneous topics and 
 incidents of life, the humorous aspects of which are happily brought out. A little story 
 runs through the farrago, and a handful of characters are sketched with Mr. Lucas's 
 artful touches of tender appreciation and delicate satire. [5s., Methuen; $1.50, Mac- 
 millan. New York.] 
 
 Character and Comedy. 1907 
 
 A miscellany of Elia-like essays, reflections of a book-lover, sketches of character, meditative 
 anecdotes, and finally a witty series of short stories told in letters. Life's Little Difficulties 
 (from Punch), choice examples of epistolary conversation and oblique narrative. Humor- 
 ous side-lights on Lamb, Dr. Johnson, John Mytton, the Irish ' king ' Bagenal, and other 
 worthies, exhumed from forgotten books and periodicals of the last two centuries. [5s., 
 Methuen ; $1.25 n., Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Over Bemerton's : an Easy-going Chronicle. 1908 
 
 A nondescript commentary on many phases of life in London in the year 1908, not disdaining 
 actual people and well-known incidents, by a kindly old bachelor who comes home to settle 
 down after thirty years in S. America. Quite in the genial, urbane style of the Spectator. 
 [5s., Methuen ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Slowcoach. [juvenile] 1910 
 
 A very readable account of the experiences of some delightful children on a gipsy-van holiday. 
 [6s., Wells Gardner; $1.50 n., Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Mr. Ingleside. 1910 
 
 A middle-aged, disappointed man, who has accepted the gifts and the refusals of life, and found 
 a genial philosophy. To his home on the Embankment many friends come in, and the 
 discussions on passing events, modem movements, books and the like, remind one of 
 Over Bemerton's. [6s., Methuen ; $1.35 n., Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Lucas, Reginald. When all the World is Young. 1908 
 
 A young man's life from Eton to Parliament and the eve of marriage, chronicled and annotated 
 in the letters of a shrewd and scholarly father. [5s. n., Humphreys.] 
 
 Lucas, St. John. Saints, Sinners, and the Usual People. 1911 
 
 Fantastic invention and irresponsible humour are the salient qualities of these stories, some of 
 which appeared first in Blackwood or The Open Window. The first group make capital 
 of Roman Catholic hagiolatry, and the others exploit modern foibles and curious bits 
 of psychology so as to make the most of its grotesque possibilities. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 "Lyall, David" [Mrs. Burnett Smith; see also Annie S. Swan]. The Land of 
 the Leal. 1896 
 
 Fourteen studies and stories of devout Presbyterians and other Lowland types : a fair example 
 of the "Kailyard" novel with its religious feeling and general sentimentality. [2s. 6d. 
 n., IS. n., Hodder.] 
 
 The Two Miss Jeffrys. 1899 
 
 Tales of the private affairs of the clients of an Edinburgh firm of solicitors, told by their con- 
 fidential clerk. The Miss Jeffrys are a fine pair of Scottish gentlewomen, who bear both 
 good and evil fortune with modesty and fortitude. [6s., Hodder.] 
 
 The Heritage of the Free ; or, More than Conquerors. 1905 
 
 Story of a rebellion against a pastor at the time of the great Disruption (1843), with some 
 character-drawing and love interest. [6s., Hodder.] 
 
 293 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 "Lyall, David" (continued). — A Strong Man's Love. 1906 
 
 [3s. 6d., Partridge.] 
 
 The Fighting Line. 1908 
 
 Rich and poor, East and West, in London, as represented by inhabitants of the Isle of 
 Dogs, Camberwell, and Kensington; a works manager, a Socialist leader, an M.P., their 
 crippled sons, and a lady working among the poor, with some other women characters. 
 [2s. n., R.T.S.] 
 
 The One Who Came After : a Study of a Modern Woman. 1910 
 
 [6s., Hodder.] 
 
 Lysaght, Sidney Royse. The Marplot. 1893 
 
 A young enthusiast marries a music-hall actress, and her past comes to light on the wedding- 
 day. He lives as a cowboy in America for some years, comes back to Ireland, and falls 
 in love with a fair patriot, reaping nothing but tragedy. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 One of the Grenvilles. 1899 
 
 A long and desultory novel, of which the main business arises out of a love complication : 
 it is essentially a novel of character, however, and follows the fortunes of an old family 
 over a considerable period. Several personalities of a fine old type are delineated on an 
 ample scale. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Her Majesty's Rebels. 1907 
 
 The central figure in this study of Irish politics {1875-91) corresponds very closely in the details 
 of his private career, wMch involves him in flagitious relations with several women, 
 to Parnell ; but the writer deprecates any imputation of having drawn on the personal 
 character of the great leader. [6s., Macmillan.] 
 
 " Maartens, Maarten " [Joost M. W. van der Poorten Schwartz ; b. 1858]. The 
 Sin of Joost Avelingh. 1890 
 
 This and the following are written in correct and forcible English by a Dutch novehst. Truth- 
 ful genre-painting of homely Dutch life, with lifelike characters, and an interesting psy- 
 chological study of the quixotic Joost. The plot pivots on a murder. [3s. 6d., Macmillan; 
 Si. 50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 An Old Maid's Love: a Dutch Story told in EngUsh. 1891 
 
 An unsophisticated Dutch student is in love with a Dutch girl, while a bewitching French 
 vicomtesse loves him and carries him off to a little Eden on Lake Maggiore. [3s. 6d., 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 God's Fool : a Koopstad Story. 1892 
 
 A psychological and ethical study of a strong young man whose intellect is that of a child, 
 and who has lost three senses by an accident in childhood, analysing the mental states 
 and difficulties of this sensitive and emotional being, shut off from his fellow-creatures, 
 whom he ardently desires to benefit with his wealth. [3s. 6d., Macmillan ; Si. 50, Appleton, 
 New York.] 
 
 — A Question of Taste. 1892 
 
 The quiet, humdrum life of a group of Dutch people of the middle class ; thoroughly true 
 to the commonplace interests of average family life. Scanty in incident, but motives 
 are exposed with humour, insight, and satire. [3s. 6d., Heinemann.] 
 
 — The Greater Glory. 1894 
 
 An indictment of " infamy in high places, contrasting worldly power with the greater glory of 
 great thoughts and unselfishness." One compares it instinctively with Thackeray's 
 Newcomes for its general theme, the peculiar tone of its satire, and the accomplished realism 
 of its representation of average life and character. [3s. 6d., Macmillan ; Si -50. Appleton, 
 New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 " Maaetens, Maarten " (continued). — My Lady Nobody. 1895 
 
 A delineation of Dutch society that comes still nearer to Thackeray's manner — realism por 
 traying human beings neither better nor worse than they are, a running commentary by 
 the author, cynicism and sarcasm, much like Thackeray's, though differentiated by the 
 writer's pecuhar humour. The crowd of characters gathered round a decayed baronial 
 family represent the old aristocracy, the moneyed bourgeois, the lower middle-class, and, 
 with harsh satire, the lower classes in the country. The gist of the story is the life of a 
 parson's daughter who marries the Baron and, after his death, by great self-sacrifice keeps 
 the estate together in the teeth of obloquy. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Her Memory. i8g8 
 
 A Society story, with a good deal of ironical comedy and analysis of sentiment. Subject, a 
 bereaved husband's sorrow, ending only with his next wedding; and the cynical moral, 
 that the world is too much in the end for merely private griefs and aspirations. [3s. 6d., 
 Macmillan; §1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Some Women I have Known. 1901 
 
 A dozen women of various countries portrayed in a form that hovers between the character- 
 sketch and the short story. They are well diversified, but most are either unhappily 
 married or ill appreciated. The prevaiUng tone is comedy with, now and then, shrewd 
 touches of satire. The reader will perhaps be struck most by the author's cosmo- 
 politanism. [6s., Heinemann ; ?1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — — My Poor Relations. 1903 
 
 Short stories, some dramatic, some mere character-studies, chiefly of Dutch peasants, all alike 
 admirable in their sober and homely Dutch painting. The realism of Mr. Maartens shows 
 well in The Banquet. More tragic is The Mother, and Jan Hunkum's Money is a grim bit 
 of comedy. [6s., Constable.] 
 
 Dorothea : a Story of the Pure in Heart. 1904 
 
 An enormously long and amorphous novel, brimful of human experience and wisdom, and 
 crowded with characters, who represent on the one side the garish world of pleasure and 
 excitement, Paris, the Riviera, and Montreux, and on the other the better part expressed 
 in the sub-title and the character of Dorothea. One of the best observed of the host of 
 characters is the husband. Col. Sandring. [6s., Constable.]

 " M'AULAY, Allan " {continued). — Black Mary. igoi 
 
 Kindly portraiture of Perthshire folk a hundred years ago, bringing out strongly their hardness 
 and their integrity. In the half-caste daughter of a ne'er-do-well emigrant to the West

 A rambling tale of cattle-farming in Western Australia or Queensland, of love-making, and of 
 treachery between partners, two men of strongly marked characters. Depicts life on a 
 cattle-run, the loneliness of the desert, the ways of animals, and, above all, the types of 
 humanity produced by these conditions. [6s., Constable ; I1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 The White Stone : the Story of a Boy from the Bush. 1900 
 
 A boy's physical and moral growth to young manhood ; his schooldays, schoolfellows, friends

 The fashionable frivoUties of an eighteenth-century spa — card-parties, routs, water-drinking, 
 cock-fighting, flirting both innocent and the reverse, and all the exaggerated etiquette — 
 sketched in a sort of burlesque, mock-heroic style. But behind the fantastic manner and 
 the veneer of affectation, we gradually discern that the puppets are real men and 
 women. The comedy changes its not^, and the strutting M.C, Beau Ripple, discloses 
 himself a very hero. [6s., Seeker.]

 cheerful things in the Irishman's lot. [2s. 6d., Digby & Long.]

 sympathy with peasant feelings. [3s., Gill, Dublin.] 
 
 Macmillan, Malcolm. Dagonet the Jester. 1886

 Macnamaea, Lewis. Blind Larry : Irish Idylls. 1897 
 
 Artless records of life among the very poor in the west of Ireland, the fruit of kindly observa- 
 tion and, obviously, essays in the Thrums style. Larry is a poor blind fiddler, whose 
 one joy in life is his son, and he turns out a reproach to his father. Katty's Wedding is a 
 very Irish bit of farce, and Mulligan' s Revenge expresses the vindictive passions of the 
 Celt, an episode of jealousy and crime, alleviated at the close by penitence and reconcilia- 
 tion. [3s. 6d., Jarrold.] 
 
 Macnaughtan, Miss Sarah. Selah Harrison. 1898 
 
 A sombre story of a penitent prodigal, who becomes a missionary, and after devoted work

PRESENT DAY 
 
 M'NuLTY, Edward. Misther O'Ryan : an Incident in the History of a Nation. 
 
 1894 
 
 A short story, presenting a picture of real life in a small country town. O'Ryan, speaking an 
 exaggerated brogue, is a blethering political humbug, who starts a branch of the league 
 and gets returned for the borough. The scenes of agitation, boycott, and crime are very 
 ugly, and have been stigmatized as a monstrous caricature. [3s. 6d., Arnold.] 
 
 The Son of a Peasant. 1897 
 
 A tragi-comedy of life among lower middle-class people in a small provincial town. Humorous, 
 but insistent on the meaner aspects of human character. A far-fetched plot closing in 
 hideous tragedy. [6s., Arnold : o.p.] 
 
 Maitland, Mrs. Ella Fuller. The Saltonstall Gazette. 1896 
 
 A series of essays or letters written in the polished and urbane manner of the eighteenth 
 century, and held together by a slight thread of personal reminiscences. [7s. 6d., Chap- 
 man.]

 Elder; $1.25, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Makgill, Sir George [b. 1868]. Outside and Overseas. [juvenile] 1903 
 
 Capt. Ballas, who was out in the '45, proposes to found a Stuart kingdom, and then goes 
 empire-making on his own account in New Zealand, where he fights French and Maoris 
 (1777)- Native life well brought out. [6s., Methuen : o.p.] 
 
 " Malet, Lucas " [Mary St. Leger Harrison, nee Kingsley ; b. 1852]. Colonel 
 Enderby's Wife. 1885 
 
 A pessimistic study of the disenchantments of real life, in the tragedy of an ill-assorted marriage 
 between a trusting middle-aged man and a heartless and selfish woman. [6s., 2s. n., 
 Methuen ; $1, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Little Peter : a Christmas Morality for Children of any Age. 1887 
 
 An idyll of country life with a little group of diverse characters : an old bookworm and' his 
 patient wife, a charcoal-burner and a cowherd, and a flirting servant-maid. [3s., Methuen ; 
 ?i.50 n., Doran, New York.] 
 
 A Council of Perfection. 1888 
 
 Character and motive illustrated in a love episode of unusual shape. A woman, verging on 
 middle age, has devoted her life to her father, a selfish and unsympathetic bookworm. 
 Suddenly her heart is awakened by a man who is not worthy of her ; hopes of a new life 
 inspire her with feelings like those of youth ; but when her lover is at her feet, she renounces 
 the temptation. Embellished with descriptive passages of English country life and Swiss 
 travel-sketches. [6s., Methuen ; $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Wages of Sin. 1890 
 
 AJyoung painter gets entangled with a Cornish girl, whose coarse beauty makes her a desir- 
 able model ; and when he tries to live down his sin, and, more tragically, when he loves a 
 pure and worthy girl, his old paramour and their child reappear to wreck all his future, 
 and at last drive him to his death. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Fenno, New York.] 
 
 The Carissima : a Modern Grotesque. 1896 
 
 A domestic drama enacted in a Genevese hotel, wherein some consciences are brought to the 
 test. The main situation is characteristic of the author's morbid views of life — the Caris- 
 sima is engaged to a man haunted by a loathsome hallucination, and plots with another 
 suitor to get rid of him. Some unmitigated bores are brought in for comic purposes. 
 [63., Methuen; ?i.50, Stone, Chicago.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 "Malet, Lucas" (continued). — The Gateless Barrier. 1900 
 
 A spiritualistic romance founded on the idea of bringing back the dead by will-power in con- 
 junction with intense love. [63., Methuen ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The History of Sir Richard Calmady : a Romance. igoi 
 
 Sir Richard, a baronet of enormous wealth, was maimed from birth, and goes through life a 
 misshapen dwarf. In the central portion of this long and elaborate history, we see him 
 falling a victim to the lusts of the flesh and the natural instincts of revolt against his 
 horrible fate. Passion wrecks but love redeems him — -this is the moral of the author's 
 sentimental philosophy. [6s., Methuen ; Si. 50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 — The Far Horizon. 1906 
 [3s. 6d., 2s. u., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 — The Score. 
 
 1910 
 
 Two stories — Out in the Open, an actress gives up her lover, a M.P., not to spoil his career, 
 characters from Sir Richard Calmady ; the other. Miserere Nobis, an Italian story of 
 murder, confession, attempted suicide. [6s., Murray; Si. 50, Dutton, New York.] 
 
 — The Wreck of the Golden Galleon. 1910 
 
 About two old maids who keep a London lodging-house, and are terribly disappointed by the 
 goings on of a lodger whom they had idolized. [5s., Hodder ; ?i.20, Doran, New York.] 
 
 — Adrian Savage. 1911 
 
 A prolix story whose general trend and leading characters are purposely unpleasant and even 
 repulsive — the scenes Paris and Stourmouth (Bournemouth), and the English characters 
 — conceited, pushing, vulgar people — strikingly unlovable. Adrian loves the disillusioned 
 widow of a great artist of ill repute, and is loved — tragically — by the unattractive Joanna, 
 whose morbid, suffering character is the strength of the book. [6s., Hutchinson ; Si. 35 n.. 
 Harper, New York.] 
 
 Mallock, William Hurrell [6. 1849]. The New Republic : Culture, Faith, and 
 Philosophy in an English Country House. 1877 
 
 The first of a series of satires on contemporary philosophers, religious thinkers, politicians, etc. 
 The real dramatis personcs are : " Storks " (Huxley), " Stockton " (Tyndall), " Herbert " 
 (Ruskin), " Donald Gordon " (Carlyle), " Jenkinson " (Jowett), " Mr. Luke " (Matthew 
 Arnold), " Saunders " (Prof. Chfford), " Rose " (Walter Pater), " Leslie " (Mr. Hardinge), 
 " Seyden " (Dr. Pusey), " Lady Grace " (Lady Dilke), " Mrs. Sinclair " (Mrs. Singleton, 
 afterwards Lady Currie ["Violet Fane"]). [3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto ; Si. 25, Scribner, New 
 York.] 
 
 The New Paul and Virginia : Positivism on an Island. 1878 
 
 A similar burlesque of the religious ideas of Huxley, Tyndall, Clifford and Frederic Harrison. 
 [2s. 6d., Chatto ; Si, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 A Romance of the Nineteenth Century. 1881 
 
 Almost a novel, handling in a semi-abstract way a psychological problem of love, the per- 
 sonages being English idlers on the Riviera. As an exposition of certain tendencies of 
 contemporary life it has resemblances to Without Dogma by Sienkiewicz. The hero, 
 agnostic, pietist, and sentimental philanthropist, fails through the lack of a steadfast 
 dominating principle ; the heroine succumbs to her woman's craving for love. [2s., 
 Chatto; Si. 50, Fenno, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Mallock, William Hurrell {continue^. — ^The Individualist. 1899 
 
 Makes game of the belief that the poorer classes are amenablfe to culture, by means of burlesque 
 of social reforms, half-disguised caricatures of actual, people, and exaggerations of the 
 faiUngs and vulgarities of the ill-bred. [6s., Chapman.]

 Mann, Mary E. {nee Rackham]. Susannah. 1895 
 
 A young lady in reduced circumstances goes out as general servant, so that she may be able 
 to nurse her d3ring brother. She meets with some comic experiences of life and some severe 
 trials, and the upshot is that she loses a doubtful lover and gains a true one. A household 
 tyrant, slave to her paragon of a son, and several young bohemians, furnish comedy, 
 but the great merit of the story is its impartial truth to the realities of life. [6s., Unwin ; 
 $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 — The Patten Experiment. 1899 
 
 A comedy of character, with a fanciful plot. A wealthy family try to live for a week on a 
 labourer's wages, and meet vrith unexpected dif&culties. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 — Out in Life's Rain. 1899 
 
 The history of two children who, like John Halifax, are loyal and true in the face of bitter 
 trials : a simple story of real life. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.] 
 
 — Among the Syringas. 1901 
 
 Portraiture of average humanity and of the joys and troubles of the average life; common- 
 place characters, good and evil mixed, with their vulgarity and weakness and moments 
 of inspiration and courage, from among whom the heroine stands out, but is no ideal 
 creature. There is humour in the scenes of child-life. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 — The Fields of Dulditch. 1901 
 
 Chapters of the humblest country life as it really is, without any of the forced pathos, exaggera- 
 tion, or disturbing optimism usual in fancy pictures of the rustic. Mostly they give us 
 the grim side, with the workhouse in the middle distance, e.g. Ben Pitcher's Little Elly, 
 Gran'mawther, The Lost Housen. But Our Mary is a humorous and delightful sketch of a 
 " general," and in others, the different aspects are interpreted with fine and delicate 
 penetration and sympathetic art. [6s., Digby & Long.] 
 
 — Olivia's Summer. 1902 
 
 A tragic story — an old maid, the daughter of a rector, marries a successful but uncultivated 
 man of the village ten years her junior. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — The Mating of a Dove. 1902 
 
 A story of country gentry in straitened circumstances that brings real pathos out of the pressure 
 of class distinctions and the struggle to keep up appearances. Amy Dove, a creature of 
 fine spiritual beauty, in her pure simplicity loves the village carpenter, but has to marry 
 the doctor. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Mrs. Peter Howard. 1903 
 
 A moving story of temptation and resistance thereto, vpith a group of characters, well varied 
 in small compass, in a country town. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Gran'ma's Jane. 1903 
 
 The story of a little girl from childhood onwards, in a dism alearly- Victorian home at Norwich, 
 and with other people. Realistic in its drawing of both pleasant and unpleasant characters, 
 the childhood of Jane sketched with much idyllic charm, while the story has tragic sides 
 presented in all their grimness and truth. [6s., Methuen.]

 nurse. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Eglamore Portraits. 1906 
 
 The domestic embarrassments and unpleasantness endured by a young couple domineered 
 over by a disagreeable mother-in-law. A hackneyed situation handled in a straight- 
 forward manner and with admirable insight into motive and character. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Rose at Honeypot. igo6 
 
 A long story of a more pleasant kind. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Memories of Ronald Love. 1907 
 
 Avenging Children [sequel]. 1909 
 
 Domestic stories of Norwich and East Anglia in mid- Victorian days. The first has a pathetic 
 study of a child ; the interests of the second are more conventional — clandestine love, 
 an elopement, the caddishness of a legitimate son and the chivalry of his bastard brother. 
 [Ea. 6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Sheep and the Goats. 1907 
 
 Draws faithfully and humorously the coteries and characters of a little town where the son of 
 a local draper has been made rector. He and the woman he loves, and a spoilt doll of a 
 girl whom he quixotically champions, are the best among many interesting likenesses of 
 human nature. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Heart Smiter. 1908 
 
 A slighter story than most of Mrs. Mann's, about a young lady who finds a home at Tammy 
 Court under false pretences. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 A Sheaf of Com. 1908 
 
 Nineteen stories in Mrs. Mann's realistic style, dealing with rustics in E. Anglia ; several 
 are gloomy and repellent. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Bound Together. 1910 
 
 Short stories chiefly of the hard and squalid side of peasant life, with more of the sensational, 
 sentimental, and farcical than in The Fields of Dulditch. [6s., Mills & Boon.] 
 
 Astray in Arcady. 1910 
 
 [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 There was a Widow. 191 1 
 
 This also is one of Mrs. Mann's more conventional stories about middle-class people. A rather 
 weak, muddle-headed woman is the central figure of the domestic drama, and in a strong 
 scene does herself credit by tearing up a will in her own favour. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Marchmont, Arthur Williams [6. 1852]. A Dash for a Throne. 1899 
 
 A complicated romance of the " Zenda " type, concerned with a plot for dethroning the mad 
 King of Bavaria. [6s., Hutchinson ; 50c., New Amsterdam Book Co., New York.] 
 
 In the Name of a Woman. 1901 
 
 An exciting melodramatic story about imaginary politics, love, and intrigue in a Balkan state. 
 [6s., Longman; §1.50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 Marnan, Basil. A Daughter of the Veldt. 1901 
 
 A biographical novel covering twenty-five years of a young woman's life, and presenting a 
 realistic picture of semi-civilized life in South Africa. Boers and Britons, black sheep and 
 white, the former predominating, are portrayed impartially, and many strikingly in- 
 dividual characters are to be found among them. There are several " strong " scenes, 
 handled rather freely. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Holt, New York.]

 Marriage, Caroline. The Luck of Barerakes. 1903 
 
 Barerakes, the lonely farm on the Yorkshire moors, with its atmosphere of gloom and terror, 
 is another Wuthering Heights, and the " Black Dog," its owner, a more repulsive Heath- 
 cUff. Begins with a murder done on the moors a century ago, and works out, with a deep 
 sense of tragedy, the lifelong fear and remorse it leaves to those implicated, the deadly 
 influence it exerts on the characters of themselves and their kindred, and the heritage 
 of shame to succeeding generations. A very careful transcript of the local speech. [6s., 
 Heinemann.] 
 
 Marriott, Charles [6. 1869]. The Column. 1901 
 
 A high-flown and bizarre story, with a mystical heroine and other characters who are not very 
 like average human beings, but have, for the reader who cares to understand them, much 
 interest of a purely intellectual kind. The scene is Cornwall, where the heroine's father, 
 pagan, scholar, and hermit, has set up a Doric column, which becomes the symbol of his 
 daughter's cult of nature and the elements. The narrative style and the dialogue are 
 euphuistic, epigrammatic, obviously Meredithian. [6s. {§1.50), Lane.] 
 
 Love with Honour. 1902 
 
 Not so far-fetched in subject or style — a curious problem in the moral casuistry of love. The 
 characters are of a more ordinary stamp, yet with peculiar veins of interest to the critic 
 of life — the hero, a young man who has read Lavengro, Carlyle, and Whitman, and wants 
 to put their gospel into action ; the heroine, a girl of lofty and delicate principles of con- 
 duct ; a fine old martinet ; an aesthetic villager, etc. — characters that touch both comedy 
 and tragedy. Scene, a beautiful village in Gloucestershire. The highly cultivated feeling 
 for nature shows traces of Thomas Hardy. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.]

 [6s. ($1.50), Lane.]

 — Mrs. Alemere's Elopement. 1905 
 
 Opens with a comic situation — Alemere visits Dick's mother to commiserate with her on his 
 wife's elopement with Dick — after which the sequence of events is ordinary and unstrained. 
 A story inviting thought on various moral and social problems. Mrs. Alemere, remorse- 
 lessly analysed, is a frivolous woman of a low but common type, whose beauty injures 
 the Uves of three men. The strength of the latter part is the unromantic and unsentimental 
 history of Dick's disillusionment. [6s., Nash.] 
 
 — The Lapse of Vivien Eady. 1906 
 [6s., Nash.] 
 
 — The Remnant. 1907 
 [6s., Nash.] 
 
 — The Wondrous Wife. ~ 1907 
 
 A novel of passion that in like manner shows independent and sensible thought on the mutual 
 influence of people's acts and the restraining claims of marriage. The central incident 
 is again an elopement, this time of an unfaithful husband, whose wife is perhaps the 
 strongest woman yet painted by Mr. Marriott. [6s., Nash.] 
 
 — The Kiss of Helen. 1908 
 
 Another suggestive study of the fine shades of passion — and perhaps of a love more etherealized 
 than passion, as the conclusion is enigmatic. [6s., Nash ; $1.50, Lane, New York.]

 " Now ! " is the motto of a brotherhood pledged to live their own lives — to do really what we 
 mildly approve as the beautiful dreams of poets and idealists. The two lovers, a Lavengro, 
 with less propensity for the dull and conventional than George Borrow himself, and a 
 young Diana bom of highly respectable parents, cast prejudice and prudence to the winds 
 for the comradeship of nature. [6s., Hurst ; $1.50, Lane, New York.]

 The Eldest Son. 1911 
 
 Novels of family life in the country ; a hunting family — the Clintons in South Meadshire — ^bulking 
 prominently ; the leading interest character, or the kind of incident that reveals character. 
 Most of the characters are quite ordinary people, like peppery but good-natured old Squire 
 Clinton — but interesting on that very account, so truly are they rendered. A few more 
 unusual figures give touches of comedy now and then, and there are some roguish children 
 done to the life, [(i) 6s., Rivers ; (2) 6s., is. n.. Rivers ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New

 Multitude and Solitude. 1909 
 
 a literary man loses the woman he loves, and roused to a new vision of the seriousness of life 
 and the futility of a literature and an art which the multitude disdains, resolves to build 
 up a character, and do a work that shall be worthy of her, and, as it were, complete the

 Masefield, John {continued). — Lost Endeavour. 1910 
 
 Strange adventures of an English lad and a Spaniard in the buccaneering days on the Spanish 
 Main and in Virginia, from 1692 onwards. The peculiar charm of the book is the glamorous 
 atmosphere Mr. Masefield's poetic vision casts over all. [2s. n., Nelson.] 
 
 The Street of To-day. 1911 
 
 Attempts a critical diagnosis of modern social conditions, from the point of view of eugenics, 
 
 but rather with the imaginative fervour of a poet than the detachment of a scientist or 
 philosopher. A man of science proposing to amend society by a revolutionary hygiene, 
 a shallow, neurotic woman of the parasitic type, and a " genuine " woman, who is his 
 good genius, are the chief exponents of Mr. Masefield's arguments. The enormous petti- 
 ness and wastefulness of London life are depicted with the incisive force of a bom impres- 
 sionist. [6s., Dent; $1.50 n., Dutton, New York.] 
 
 Mason, Arthur Edward Woodley [6. 1865]. The Courtship of Morrice Buckler.

 from England to Tyrol. The heroine is Tyrolese. [3s. 6d. ($1.50), Macmillan.]

 A romantic and intricate story of rascality, love, and adventure. Sketches of life in Scilly, 
 
 Tangier, Spain, and Devon give the action a changing environment. [3s. ^6d. (?i.5o), 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 — Clementina. 1901 
 
 A particularly close imitation of Dumas. Princess Clementina Sobieska is the bride-elect 
 of the Old Pretender ; and the chivalrous Irishman Wogan, who with his three comrades 
 revives immortal memories, loving her himself has to further the marriage in spite of 
 perilous obstacles. On this situation is based a thrilling romance, full of theatrical vigour, 
 the end very painful. Without much regard for historical accuracy, the author draws 
 a disenchanting portrait of the ruined Stuart (temp. 1720). [6s., 2s. n., Methuen ; $1.50, 
 Stokes, New York.] 
 
 — The Four Feathers. 1902 
 A serious kind of novel bringing into play the moral ideas by which high character is forged 
 
 and tempered. The son of a line of soldiers, though brave in the highest sense, mistrusts 
 his nerve, and is branded a coward. As a captive at Omdurman, he expiates his error 
 in the noblest way. [6s., Smith & Elder; $1.50, 25c., Macmillan, New York.]

 A comedy of manners with a fine lady and her lovers, as well as Jacobite intriguers involved 
 in the Jacobite conspiracies after the rebellion of 1715. Some are historical characters; 
 but the chief personage, the witty and coquettish Lady Oxford, is purely fictitious. [3s. 6d.

 in spite of their lawless temper. [3s. 6d., McClure, New York : o.p.] 
 
 The Spanish Wine. 1898 
 
 A brief tale of passion and jealousy in troubled Elizabethan Ireland. Chief figure a beautiful

 spell. Has a touch of Celtic mysticism. Scene, Dunluce Castle, Co. Antrim. [3s. 6d. n.. 
 Lane.] 
 
 Defender of the Faith. 1899 
 
 A story of Henry VIII's loves and intrigues, as witnessed by Henry Percy, sixth Earl of Northum-

 Cromwell; and others thrown out in relief (1529—43). [6s., is. 6d. n.. Lane.] 
 
 — Love of Comrades. 1900 
 A romantic tale of the days of Strafford {1640), with a sprightly and adventurous Irish

 — The Royal Sisters. 1901 
 
 The intrigues, family jealousies, and conspiracies that were going on while Edward VI lay 
 dying, forming the prelude to Mary's reign and persecution {1553). Mary herself and Prin- 
 cess Elizabeth, Lady Jane Grey, and Northumberland and his sons Guildford and Robert, 
 Renard, Wyatt, Pembroke, and Arundel, are the chief personages of the drama, and their 
 characters are carefully drawn. Largely in dialogue. [6s., Long.] 
 
 Maugham, H. Neville.- Richard Hawkwood. 1906 
 
 The hero is a grandson of the famous condottiere. Sir John Hawkwood (see Lawrence's Brake- 
 speare, p. 80), and is in the service of Lorenzo de' Medici, who is a preponderant figure 
 in the book. Leonardo, Botticelli, and Pico della Mirandola also come on the stage and 
 talk, and both Florentine poUtics and Renaissance culture are freely illustirated (1477). 
 [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Maugham, William Somerset [b. 1874]. Liza of Lambeth. 1897 
 
 Twelve months in the life of a factory girl, described with hideous realism, the depravity and 
 vile language of the lowest classes being set down without modification. [3s. 6d., Unwin.] 
 
 Orientations ; and other Stories. 1899 
 
 Six short stories, ranging from The Choice of Amyntas, an allegorical fairy-tale, to the realism 
 of Daisy, a study of sordid characters and motives among the lower middle-class. [6s., 
 Unwin.] 
 
 The Hero. 1901 
 
 A bitter story, reproducing with scrupulous realism all the grimness of life, but nothing of its 
 gaiety or humour. The narrow interests and petty society of a village, the unsympathetic 
 and stupid characters, the prejudices that embitter existence, these axe the predominant 
 themes. The hero's tragedy results from an engagement, entered into as an inexperienced 
 youth, which he is unable to repudiate when, as a grown man, he becomes aware that he 
 does not love. [6s., Hutchinson.]

 The Merry-go-Round. 1904

 Stories displaying the same accomplished technique and mastery of realistic methods. The

 monstrous individual who rejoices in the title of the Magician produces ghastly scenes 
 by the creation of living hominiculi. [Ea. 6s., Heinemann; (3) $1.50, Baker & Taylor,

 A romance of Novantia, or ancient Galloway, in the fourth century, a learned work by an

 The Chevalier of the Splendid Crest. 1900 
 
 England and Scotland at the time of the Scottish war of independence (1314). Full of archae-

 of the city of Winchester, and much detail about domestic and outdoor life, while the 
 earher portion is written in a kind of Middle English. [6s., Blackwood.]

 The Rest Cure. 1910 
 
 On the whole, these may be summed up as thoroughly realistic studies of modem life in quite 
 typical and familiar phases, with threads of romance woven in. The writer's favourite 
 problem is the aftermath of marriage. In The Guarded Flame, a great philosopher neglects 
 his young wife, who falls in love with his secretary. In The Rest Cure — these are perhaps 
 the two best of the lot — the situation is parallel, a man whose mind has been concentrated 
 on his business afiairs learns, when he has broken down, of his wife's unfaithfulness. In 
 both novels the awakening comes about in the most tragic circumstances, and the writer 
 spares no jot of bodily or mental anguish to intensify the horror, [(i) is. n., Hodder;

 plot about the fate of the Oliphants. [3s. 6d., Blackwood ; $1, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 Menzies, John. Our Town, and Some of its People. 1894 
 
 Sketches of Fife folk ; on the face of it, a bundle of reminiscences, with real incidents and real 
 people disguised in a thin dress of fiction. The old industry of the place was weaving, 
 and the survivors of the craft tell a brave tale about the happy times before railways

 The House of Lynch. 1907 
 
 [6s., Hodder ; sub tit. Lynch's Daughter, $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 Well-constructed novels describing the surface of modem life with considerable realism, but 
 no pretence at deep analysis. The plots may be built upon a rather fantastic basis, as, 
 for example, that of the last story, where the daughter of one of the world's richest men 
 proposes to and marries a strugghng artist, and in the upshot gives her dead father's 
 hundred milUon dollars to retrieve the wrongs which he committed in gaining the pile. 
 But if the idea is ultra-romantic, Mr. Merrick's narrative method is sober, circumstantial, 
 and plausible, and his character-drawing equally so. 
 
 The Man Who Understood Women ; and other Stories. 1908 
 
 : All the World Wondered. 191 1 
 
 Collections of workmanlike stories of bohemian life in Paris and of English life, the French 
 ones sparkling and vivid in catching the air of Montmartre. At the Sign of the Bleeding 
 Heart, in the second book, is a good example of the humorous sort, [(i) 6s., Nash ; 
 $1.20 n., Kennerley, New York; (2) 6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Position of Peggy Harper. 1911 
 
 An ironical novel, put together with Mr. Merrick's expert craftsmanship, neatly satirizing 
 a world that gives success' to the third-rate and despises real talent, a vulgar actress and 
 a playwright too good for his public being the cases in point. [2s. n.. Nelson ; $1.30 n.,

 The Hunger : being Realities of the Famine Years in Ireland, 1845-S. 1910 
 
 Only the form is fiction ; the facts, indeed, were so horrible they had to be toned down in the 
 telling. Mr. Merry got his evidence from oral statements and private documents, as well 
 as the sources open to all. [6s., Melrose.]

 dramatis personcs. A romantic love-tale always runs through these pictures of wild life, 
 warfare, and scenery (1877-8). [3s. 6d., Heinemann.]

 ill-fated Simon Eraser, Lord Lovat, and his more honourable son. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 MONTRESOR, Miss F. F. Into the Highways and Hedges. 1895 
 
 A good example of her idealistic treatment of life. The impressionable, cultivated Margaret 
 weds the street preacher Thorpe, and learns afterwards to love him for his fortitude in 
 unmerited sufEerings. He is an unlearned, illogical, quixotic being, full of faith and energy 
 in the pursuit of his ideal ; his rival for Margaret's affection is a hard-headed Jew, with 
 keen insight into human nature and a dominating will. [6s., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Appleton, 
 New York.] 
 
 The One Who Looked On. 1895 
 
 A chapter of family history told by a motherly Irish aunt. Among the character-sketches 
 is that of an EngUsh Q.C., a hard, unemotional man externally, whose heart is found to 
 be truly benevolent and capable of deep affection. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson ; $1.25, Appleton, 
 New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 MoNTRESOR, Miss F. F. [continued). — False Coin or True. 1896 
 
 A nameless orphan, rescued from domestic drudgery by a French mesmerist, acts for him as 
 medium, and wins him fame and profit. She falls in love with an honest, tliick-headed 
 Scot ; and when love beckons one way and duty to her invalided guardian another, 
 shows herself capable of true gratitude. The Frenchman is a witty satirist of British 
 cant and pseudo-Christianity. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson ; 51.25, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 At the Cross Roads. 1897 
 
 Like the foregoing, interesting for the moral issues involved, and strongly didactic. The heroine 
 a very modern figure, hard-grained but capable of intense passion, showing her strength 
 by waiting seven years for her convict lover and exerting herself to prove his innocence. 
 [6s., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Alien. 1901 
 
 A mother's conspiracy to give her illegitimate son the inheritance of another ; but, though 
 
 the incidents are absorbing, plot and mystery are of less importance than the revelation 
 of character in a number of very different men and women. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Apple- 
 ton, New York.] 
 
 Through the Chrysalis. 1910 
 
 A clear-headed study of a girl of mixed character, whose sins do not deprive her of the reader's 
 sympathy and regard, and of her succumbing to the temptation to a course of deceit. 
 Has more than one feminine character of a iine and ingratiating type. [5s., Murray.] 
 
 Moore, Frank Frankfort [b. 1855]. Sojourners Together. 1875

 A love-tale, comprising facetious pictures of house-party life in Ireland. [6s., Hutchinson ; 
 $1, 25c., Appleton, New York.]

 A comic and flippant treatment of the marriage question, a circumstantial reductio ad abswrdum 
 of woman's rebellion against legal marriage, [is. n., Hutchinson; 50c., Street, New York.] 
 
 The Jessamy Bride. 1897 
 
 A novel founded on an actual story of the eighteenth century, introducing Goldsmith and Mary 
 
 Horneck (the Jessamy Bride), Dr. Johnson, Burke, and Garrick (1774). [6s., Hutchinson; 
 50c., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 — The Fatal Gift. 1898 
 A novel of manners of the eighteenth century. The famous Irish beauties the Misses Gunning 
 
 are the leading characters. [6s., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Moore, George [b. 1857]. A Modern Lover. 1883 
 
 Mr. Moore's ideas of the novel, as a serious and truthful reproduction of life as he sees it, put 
 - in practice with entire disregard of conventionality. Mr. Arnold Bennett called it " the 
 first realistic novel in England." The life of a handsome, petted and sensual painter, 
 treating frankly, and with all the resources of a sensuous imagination, his numerous 
 amours. The theme is wholly sexual, but there is little grossness, since the novelist chiefly 
 busies himself with analysing states of mind. [3s. 6d., W. Scott ; 25c., Laird, Chicago.] 
 
 The Mummer's Wife. 1884 
 
 A still more uncompromising pursuance of the author's naturalistic aims, depicting the dingy, 
 
 commonplace existence of small shopkeepers in the Potteries. The wife is seduced by a 
 theatrical manager, and after her divorce, travels with him on tour. Demoralized by the 
 change of life, she goes to the bad, and dies. A depressing subject handled with an art 
 that redeems its ugliness. [3s. 6d., W. Scott; §1.50, Brenano, New York, sub tit. An Actor's 
 Wife; 25c., Laird, Chicago.] 
 
 A Drama in Muslin. 1888 
 
 The matrimonial schemes of a set of women in Dublin and the provinces. Their sordi^d in- 
 trigues and jealousies give the same sense of squalor and tragedy in the midst of life. This 
 one' is distinguished by its character-drawing, particularly of the women, one of whom 
 is a very attractive girl. [2s., VizeteUy : o.p.] 
 
 Confessions of a Young Man. 1888 
 
 An early book of self-revelations, now reissued with a new preface. The young man goes to 
 
 Paris as an art student and mixes with the demi-monde of artists, actors, literary men, and 
 bohemians. Interesting for its original and piquant criticisms on life, art, and literature, 
 its impressions of life " seen through a temperament," and its ideas of the novel as a 
 truthful study of social history. [6s., Laurie; $i;" 50c., Brentano, New York.] 
 
 ■ Esther Waters. 1894 
 
 A study of low life in England, especially of people connected with horse-racing. The house- 
 hold of a racing squire, described as it appears to Esther the scullery-maid, is broken up 
 on the squire's bankruptcy, and the crowd of servants, jockeys, and stablemen disperse, 
 most of them to get a living on the racecourse or in shady business in London. Esther, 
 being ruined, suffers the miseries of a lying-in hospital. After many troubles, she marries 
 her old lover, who now keeps a low public-house and is a bookmaker. [6s., W. Scott ; 
 $1.50, Stone, Chicago ; 25c., Hurst, New York.] 
 
 — Evelyn Innes. 1898 
 
 — Sister Teresa [sequel]. 1901 
 A life-history such as Huysmans might have written, photographic in its realism, almost 
 
 revolting at times in its dissection of morbid states of the soul ; unshrinkingly honest and 
 sincere. Evelyn is a musical genius, who falls under the influence successively of an 
 agnostic and man of the world, of an artist and mystic, and of a Roman Catholic priest.. 
 When her conscience has driven her to abandon an immoral life, •she enters a sisterhood 
 and devotes the rest of her life to penitence. In the sequel, Evelyn's spiritual history 
 is pursued after she has renounced the worldly life for what is to her the only alternative, 
 asceticism. The technical knowledge, the grasp of complex experience, and the imagina- 
 tion displayed in the musical episodes are devoted here to portra3dng the conventual life. 
 Prioress, novices, and sisters are elaborately drawn, and the novelist makes us see all 
 the details of their existence, and feel its dullness. But it is the spiritual trials and 
 agonies of Evelyn as postulant, novice, and professed nun which are the enthralling 
 interest. [Ea. 3s. 6d., Unwin ; (i) $1.50, Appleton, New York; (2) $1.50, Lippincott, 
 Philadelphia.] 
 
 — The UntiUed Field. 1903 
 
 Six of these thirteen stories appeared originally in the Irish language, being translated from 
 the English by Patrick O'SuUivan. 'The book has national importance as a deep-sighted 
 study of actual conditions in Ireland, and also marks a stage in the development of the 
 new Anglo-Irish literature. In every story there is a broad hint of the author's message 
 to his people — his warnings against emigration that depopulates the land, and against 
 
 314 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 ecclesiasticism killing the joy of life. Julia Cahill's Curse, A Play-house in the Waste, and 
 The Wild Goose are forcible arguments as well as dramatic stories. The last is a wise and 
 tender story of a marriage between two patriots who differ about religion. The other 
 long tales, Some Parishioners and The Wedding Gown, tap the deep vein of poetry and 
 mysticism that is in the humblest peasant. [6s., Unwin ; $1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Moore, George (continued). — The Lake. 1905 
 
 A vague and inchoate novel with some passionate and delightful descriptions of nature. 
 The theme, very indecisively worked out, is that of a young priest's rebellion against 
 celibacy, stimulated by the attractions of a girl whom he drove from the parish because 
 she had gone wrong. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Morgan- de-Groot, Dr. J. [b. 1868]. The Affair on the Bridge. 1909 
 
 Dutch village life given in the style of an old Dutch painting. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Morris, Judge W. O'Connor [d. 1904]. Memoirs of Gerald O'Connor. 1903 
 
 Based on family documents and traditions. The autobiography of an ancestor of the author, 
 who served in the Williamite wars (1689-91), went to France with Sarsfield and was on 
 the staff of Marshal Villars. Describes the conquest and the confiscations in Ireland, and 
 the battles of the War of the Spanish Succession. [7s. 6d. n., Digby & Long.] 
 
 Morrison, Arthur [6. 1863]. Tales of Mean Streets. 1894 
 
 Fifteen naturalistic stories of the London poor ; hawkers and their women-folk, their fights 
 Emd brutal love-making, poverty, filth, thieving, aU presented with the most graphic 
 realism, but without anjrthing whatever to relieve the squalor and the gloom. Lizerunt is 
 typical, a horrible narrative of courtship and conjugal brutality. [6s., Methuen ; $j, 
 Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 A Child of the Jago. 1896 
 
 The misery, foulness, and brutality of the poorest, drawn with the same unshrinking realism, 
 and scarcely any comic or emotional relief. The life of a little boy, who leaves his thieving 
 for a time to work in a shop. The district pictured is the scene of continual fights and 
 bloodshed, brightened only by a muscular priest's courageous work. [6s., Methuen ; 
 1 1. 50, Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 To London Town. 1899 
 
 A much less depressing study of East Enders, deUneating manners and characters full of 
 individuality, in a grade of humble society not so squalid and criminal. Centres in the 
 fortunes of a poor family near the Docks ; there are scenes of low comedy and vignettes 
 of Epping Forest scenery. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 Cunning Murrell. 1900 
 
 Murrell is a witch-finder in an Essex village fifty years ago, a curious personality, half super- 
 stition, half charlatanry. He was suggested partly by an original who left actual docu- 
 ments. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 — The Hole in the Wall. 1902 
 
 Scene, the Ratchff Highway, in its worst days, some thirty years ago ; characters, an obser- 
 vant boy, a picturesque pair of murderers, an innkeeper who received stolen goods, and 
 other shady people ; the events well in keeping, and related with the usual realistic skill 
 and a great deal less of the unrelieved gloom notable in Mean Streets. [6s., Methuen ; 
 $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 — Divers Vanities. 1905 
 
 Short stories chiefly of the same class of subject, but also some humorous ones, e.g. Lost Tommy 
 Jepps- — a little masterpiece — and A Tale of Tricks. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 — Green Ginger. 1909 
 
 Sixteen short tales, largely of the rustic worthies from Essex whom we sampled in Cunning 
 Murrell. [6s., is. n., Hutchinson; $1.50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 31S 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 MouAT, James. The Rise of the Australian Wool Kings. 1892 
 
 A somewhat thin romance of Port Philip, interspersed with much valuable information re- 
 specting the rise of the wool kings. Author is a descendant of James Mouat, of Yarraberb, 
 one of the original pioneers of the Bendigo goldfields. [3s. 6d., Sonnenschein.] 
 
 MuiR, Robert James. The Mystery of Muncraig. 1900 
 
 Delineations of character in the style of Gait form the best part of this story of the Stewartry 
 of Kirkcudbright ; the mystery attaches to a squire and a farmer who have been implicated 
 in piratical enterprises. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 MuLHOLLAND, Rosa [Lady Gilbert]. Nanno. 1899 
 
 A deeply sympathetic and in the best way realistic novel of very humble life, Nanno being a 
 workhouse child who rises to heights of self-sacrifice through the sound influence of 
 homely people. Scenes : Dublin, Youghal, and Ardmore. [3s. 6d., De La More Press.] 
 
 Onora. 1900 
 
 Onora is a daughter of poor parents, who goes into service at a farm in county Waterford, 
 and is loved by one of the sons of her mistress, the courtship being chequered by various 
 difiiculties. A careful study of humble life, the pathos of which, and the sterhng goodness 
 of obscure people, are rendered with womanly sympathy. [3s. 6d., De La More Press.] 
 
 The Tragedy of Chris. 1903 
 
 A similar theme to that of her masterpiece, Nanno. Chris is a DubUn flower-girl. [6s., Sands.] 
 
 The Return of Mary O'Murrough. 1908 
 
 A pathetic love-story, Mary returning from the States to her home near Killamey to find her 
 lover in gaol, a victim of police injustice. An impeachment of the laws under which the 
 peasantry are suffering. [3s. 6d. n.. Sands.] 
 
 Monro, H. H. [" Saki "]. The Chronicles of Clovis. 1911 
 
 Sporting tales and sketches, flippant and farcical, extremely clever at absurd epigram and 
 occasional parody ; with two stories of the horrible, Sredni Vashtar and The Hounds of 
 Fate. [6s. (S1.25 n.). Lane.] 
 
 Munro, Neil [b. 1864]. The Lost Pibroch ; and other Shieling Stories. 1896 
 
 A Highlander's tales of the Western Highlands ; the modem crofter Slasses, inspired pipers, 
 antique legends and superstitions, raids and murders in the old turbulent days, inspired 
 strongly with the instinctive poetry of the Highland character and the Celtic passion 
 for n,ature. GiVes a glossary of Gaelic terms. [3s. 6d., Blackwood.] 
 
 John Splendid : the Tale of a Poor Gentleman and the Little Wars of Lorn. 
 
 1898 
 Like Esmond, this aims at historical realism and dwells on the horrors and barbarities instead 
 of the romance of war. It is an instructive contrast to Scott's Legend of Montrose, the 
 material being almost identical, viz. the war in Argyleshire with the RoyaUsts under 
 Montrose (1642-5). John Splendid himself is one of the most victorious attempts to 
 capture that elusive thing the Highland character ; he is a typical Gael, akin to 
 Stevenson's Alan Breck. [3s. 6d., Blackwood ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Gilian the Dreamer : His Fancy, His Love, and Adventure. 1898 
 
 An artistic interpretation of the visionary and poetic side of the GaeUc character. Gihan is 
 a born poet, unfitted to grapple with the practical necessities of existence, and he endures 
 ills and humiliations at the hands of inferior men. But his nature asserts itself strongly, 
 and at length he finds the poetical expression for which he has been half-unconsciously 
 striving. The minor characters are very various, and form a picture of Highland village 
 life (Inverary) just after Waterloo. [6s., Pitman ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Doom Castle. 1901 
 
 Intrigue, love, and adventure in the Western Highlands after the '45. The hero a gallant 
 French nobleman, who comes north to seek out a traitor ; the other characters, High- 
 landers, who display the author's familiar understanding of the Celtic nature, and some 
 Lowlanders with humorous traits. [6s., Blackwood ; ^1.50, Doubleday, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 MuNRO, Neil {continued). — The Shoes of Fortune. 1901 
 
 A showy kind of romance in the Stevensonian manner, bringing in the Young Pretender and 
 Miss Walkenshaw. Scotland and France (1755). [6s., Pitman ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, 
 New York.] 
 
 Children of Tempest. 1903 
 
 Inspired by the grand elemental aspects of nature in the Outer Hebrides — Uist and Ben- 
 becula — rather than by interest in the human figures : contains many charming bits of 
 poetical description. What plot interest there is hangs upon a certain treasure, concealed 
 by the Jacobites and destined to be the dowry of a young girl. Her brother is a priest, 
 and most of the characters are Catholic peasants. Dialect, customs, etc. (c. 1800). [63., 
 Blackwood.] 
 
 The Daft Days. 1907 
 
 [6s., IS. n,, Blackwood ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Fancy Farm. 1910 
 
 A romantic love-comedy enacted on the west coast of Scotland, the lovers a rather eccentric 
 baronet — " a splairger," as he calls himself — and a long-headed cousin who plays a waiting 
 game. [6s., Blackwood.] 
 
 Murray, Rosalind. The Leading Note. • , 1910 
 
 Moonseed. 1911 
 
 Domestic life at home and abroad, the strengths and weaknesses, affinities or angularities of 
 character that lead to mutual understanding and lasting affection or the reverse — described 
 with a simplicity and directness and a cold detachment that give it all a singularly un- 
 emotional effect. [Ea. 3s. 6d., Sidgwick.] 
 
 Needell, Mrs. John Hodder [Mary Anna, nee Lupton ; b. 1830]. Lucia, Hugh, and 
 Another. 1884 
 
 A trio of character studies, the unnamed person a subtle creation, set in comparison with the 
 idealized figure of Lucia, and the harsh, jealous character of Hugh. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., 
 Blackwood : o.p. ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Story of Philip Methuen. 1886 
 
 Character and the influences that mould character. Philip is an ascetic, trained for the priest- 
 hood, inured to self-control, and tenacious of his ideal. Anna is an egoist, of a passionate, 
 revengeful nature — ^the result of early neglect. The other characters also show the effects 
 of training and environment. The cardinal situation of the novel exhibits Philip sacrificing 
 his own happiness in life and that of his love in order to save the reckless Anna from a 
 slur on her good name ; his quixotism brings tragic consequences. [3s. 6d., Warne ; 
 $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Stephen ElligDtt's Daughter. 1891 
 
 A pathetic story, the characters endowed with an exalted virtue and an active altruism 
 transcending ordinary human nature. [3s. 6d., Warne ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Unequally Yoked. 1891 
 
 A domestic novel. Subject, the infatuation of a cultured and well-born clergyman for a 
 vulgar and ignorant girl, whom he marries, sacrificing his ideals and ultimately the happi- 
 ness of both. [6s., Oliphant, Edinburgh ; $1.25, Bradley, Boston.] 
 
 Unstable as Water. 1902 
 
 [6s. ($1.50), Warne.] 
 
 Neuman, Berman Paul [b. 1853]. The Uttermost Farthing. 1900 
 
 A study of rancour and revenge in the mind of a girl who believes a certain man to be the cause 
 of her father's ruin. In the sequel, destiny and love turn the tables, and she gives her heart 
 where she hated. [6s., Blackwood.]

 1356, the time of the Black Prince and of the battle of Poitiers, which is magnificently

 Court life, monastic life, and the fortunes of certain young nobles and squires in the days of

 $1.35 n., Dutton, New York.] 
 
 The Twymans. 1911 
 
 A rather miscellaneous novel, with faithful — ^and inspiring — episodes of school life — a midland

 NiSBET, Hume [b. 1849]. Bail Up ! 1893

 A tale of adventure, in which Captain Wildrake, an epicurean bushranger, performs prodigies

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Noble, Edward {continued). — The Grain Carriers. 1908 
 
 Lords of the Sea. 1909 
 
 Chains. 1910 
 
 Novels of the sea and the mercantile marine, that owe something both to Kipling and Conrad. 
 The story in the first book of the salving of a coffin ship by a Soots skipper and his engineer, 
 who board a derelict and tow their own ship home, is not unworthy of the former. The 
 second recalls Lord Jim, describing the sudden collapse of a man's will, a skipper who leaps 
 for safety in a collision and leaves his crew and passengers to their fate. His shame and 
 contrition are acutely analysed. Mr. Noble draws ordinary men and women in a lifelike 
 way, but his gift is for episodes that try the nerves and illustrate the psychology of 
 bravery and cowardice. He assumes a mission for exposing the nefarious ways of ship- 
 owners who send crews to sea in unsound vessels, and is full of sarcasm against the tyranny 
 of wealth, [(i), (2), (3), {4) ea. 6s., Blackwood ; (5), 6s., Methuen ; (6), 6s., Constable ; 
 (i) I1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 NoRRis, William Edward [b. 1847]. Mademoiselle de Mersac. 1880 
 
 A quiet story, carefully portraying not unusual types of French and English character, with 
 pictures of leisurely life and social doings in Algiers and England. The heroine and her 
 true lover are embodiments of the ideal virtues of the ancienne noblesse, while the English 
 lover is a mixture of bad and good. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Matrimony. 1881 
 
 Like many others by this writer, a slight tale, with good natural dialogue and character- 
 drawing of the external kind. Mr. Norris abounds in types of people we often meet, such 
 as the hero's father, a fine old gentleman with an unkind tongue and a generous heart, 
 always performing kind actions. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; 75c., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 No New Thing. 1883 
 
 The history of an Anglo-Indian lad, of sharp, unscrupulous, superficial nature, who is a con- 
 trast to the stronger and simpler English people with whom he is brought into contact, 
 especially the kind-hearted woman who befriends him. [3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., Smith & Elder: o.p.] 
 
 Adrian Vidal. 1885 
 
 The conjugal infelicities experienced by a young novelist of somewhat shallow, pleasure- 
 loving disposition, and his eventual reconciliation with his wife. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Chris. 1888 
 
 The love afiairs of a young heiress and her trio of suitors, ending pleasantly after a series of 
 doubts and perplexities. Scene, Cannes and London. [2s., Macmillan : o.p. ; 25c., 
 Hurst, New York.] 
 
 Major and Minor. 1888 
 
 The old story of a man's sterling affection for a girl abbve him in wealth and station, and the 
 discomfiture of a less worthy rival. [6s., Bentley : o.p.] 
 
 The Rogue. 1889 
 
 The same realistic delineation of character and manners, with a strong dash of comedy and 
 good-natured satire. The Rogue is an easy-going fellow, who has been a scamp, and tries 
 to pass himself ofi as a decent and respectable member of society. [6s., Macmillan : o.p. ; 
 IOC, Street, New York.] 
 
 Miss Shafto. 1889 
 
 Made up of character-sketches, talks, love-making, and the like, altogether forming a humor- 
 ous picture of the ordinary intercourse of people in good society. [6s., Macmillan : o.p. ; 
 25c., Hurst, New York.] 
 
 Marcia. 1891 
 
 The married life of two people who are not sympathetic, the man honest but hard, the woman 
 selfish and frivolous ; the everyday existence of people moved by petty and unworthy 
 motives is depicted with almost painful realism. The sou's happy love-making brightens 
 the later chapters. [6s., Murray ; 40c., Harper, New York.]

 NoRRis, William Edward {continued). — Billy Bellew. 1895 
 
 The hero is a simple, almost silly, young man, but unselfish and amiable, who eventually meets 
 with a fate too heavy for his deserts. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Fight for the Crown. 1898 
 
 The humours of political differences between a Conservative husband and a Liberal wife. Makes 
 use of the Home Rule controversy of a few years ago. [3s., Seeley ; $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Thirlby Hall. 1898 
 
 [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Giles Ingilby. 1899 
 
 Like the foregoing, a colourless, unemotional story depending for interest on the minute draw- 
 ing of characters who represent just the average mediocrities of everyday life. A love- 
 story, a disappointed lover going to South Africa, complications happily disentangled, are 
 the main features of the plot. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, 50c., Biddle, Philadelphia.] 
 
 — The Flower of the Flock. 1900 
 
 A rich and luxurious young man, amiably selfish, reckless and incompetent, but idolized 
 by Ms mother and bowed down to by his kin, is played with and landed by a knowing 
 American widow, and thus saved from the consequences of an act that in a more respon- 
 sible person would be severely reprobated. [6s., Nisbet ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.]

 — Pauline. 1908 
 
 Pauline Daguerre, an actress who has divorced her husband, meets with crushing generosity 
 the efforts of an aristocratic mother to save her son, in love with PauUne, from an inehgible 
 marriage. She is the strength of the novel, the other characters being quite ordinary ; 
 but the story grips one rather more than the average of Mr. Norris. [6s., Constable.]

 A romance of Devon. Parson Peter is a representative of the old order, a keen sportsman

 O'Grady, Standish [b. 1846]. The Bog of Stars. 1893 
 
 Nine stories of Elizabethan times in Ireland, "not so much founded on fact as in fact true."

 of the English. [2s., Unwin.]

 Sketches of the Cumberland dalesmen and their doughty tykes, a book full of love and know- 
 ledge of animals and of the life of the shepherds on the fells. The fights are incessant 
 between Bob, Son of Battle, and the hideous Red Wull ; but the sagacity and loyalty 
 of the dogs are made as much of as their feuds, and the author gives them characters 
 full of individual traits and capacities. [6s., Methuen ; sub tit. Bob, Son of Battle, $1.50 n.,

 The Odd-job Man. 1903 
 
 The redemption of a man of flawed character — a theme worked out unconventionally and with 
 an eye for the intricacies of motive. London life, respectable and the reverse, sketched 
 with actuality, not untempered by touches of Dickens, e.g. the brotherly model, and the 
 vengeful lover who with an innocent girl and a woman of rare nobihty are reshaping 
 influences on the hero. Amusing satire of cheap journalism, second-rate art, etc. [6s.,

 the Crimea in Coil of Came, the Franco-German campaigns in Under the Iron Flail, 
 the Southern States (Barbe), smuggling and privateering (Carette), the Second Empire

 Pain, Barry. In a Canadian Canoe. 1891

 Similar compositions, brief and sketchy, some in verse. Even the superficially trifling hint

 Parker, Eric [b. 1870]. The Sinner and the Problem. 1901 
 
 The life of a small group of people closely observed and playfully rendered, with a good deal

 seem to be genuine portraits, and the best of them are the two schoolboys nicknamed 
 the Sinner and the Problem, whose ways are very true to boy-nature. [6s. (Si. 50), Mac-

 A romance of Canada, full of valorous feats and thrilling adventures. One episode is the

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Parker, Sir Gilbert (continued). — The Battle of the Strong: a Romance of Two 
 Kingdoms. 1898 
 
 Opens with the battle of Jersey, and is continued into the great war between England and 
 France (1781-93), with episodic glimpses of the Revolution and the Vendfean tragedy. 
 Scene, chiefly Jersey, sometimes Brittany ; the local colour carefully studied ; the 
 admixture of the Jersey patois may be compared with Cable's broken English. [6s., 
 Methuen ; Si. 50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Lane that had no Turning ; and Associated Tales. 1900 
 
 Twenty-six stories and sketches of the French-Canadians, the author's compatriots ; comic 
 and tragic, melodramatic and grotesque. The longest is the story of a seigneur who is 
 all but driven mad by an hereditary malady, and at length commits a murder. The principal 
 figure, however, is his noble wife, who shields and fosters him to the last. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Right of Way: being the Story of Charley Steele and Another. 190 1 
 
 The most striking of many romantic episodes is the absolutely new life led by a man who for 
 a time lost his memory through an accident. " Beauty Steele," the Montreal barrister, 
 talented and eloquent, but a dipsomaniac, belongs to a favourite type of the author's. 
 The simple life and unsophisticated characters of a French-Canadian village are well 
 portrayed. [6s., Heinemann; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Weavers. 1907 
 
 A complicated story of pohtical intrigue and adventures among the Arabs in Egypt fifty years 
 
 ago, the hero a Quaker of mjrsterious birth. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 " Paston, George " [Miss Emily Morse Symonds]. A Fair Deceiver. 1897

 situation. Interesting appreciation of artistic subjects. [3s. 6d., Harper.] 
 
 - — • The Career of Candida. 1898 
 
 Candida is a sympathetic portrait of the New Woman, and her story a thoughtful statement 
 of the disadvantages of being bom a woman. Contains some mild satire on contemporary 
 ways. [3s. 6d., Chapman; $1, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Paterson, Arthur Henry [b. 1862]. A Son of the Plains. 1895 
 
 An exciting story of the Santa Fe Trail in the early seventies, before the railways, when the 
 overland journey was one of incessant peril from Indians and lawless whites. [6s. (?i.25), 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 Cromwell's Own. 1899

 Stories of seafaring life, fishermen, longshoremen, sailors, etc., in which Mr. Patterson, who has 
 also written poetry, draws upon his own long experience of life on shipboard and vaga- 
 bondage in many parts of the world. His first story pictures the fisher-folk of Grimsby, 
 the next deals with the Sussex coast, and the third is a novel on the regular lines.

 An episode of native Indian life, revealing the inner and emotional side of Mohammedan 
 character and domestic manners. Bijli belongs to the most dishonoured class of women, 
 but her capacity for true affection invests her with dignity. [6s., Methuen ; f 1.50, Page, 
 Boston.] 
 
 The Sway of Philippa. 1900

 Pearce, Joseph Henry [b. 1856]. Esther Pentreath. 1891 
 
 Among the miners of the Land's End peninsula sixty years ago. A story of primitive people, 
 
 tragic in its intricate web of accident and human error, though lightened by the idyll 
 
 of Esther's love and wedlock. A terrible shock injures the other lover mentally, and the 
 
 resulting estrangement leads on to catastrophe. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Inconsequent Lives. 1891 
 
 An intensely realistic study of the home and village life of the Cornish fisher-folk, bringing 
 
 out the callous natures and selfishness that render them, not the people of primitive virtues 
 that the romancers portray, but a people of mixed qualities, who make each other sufifer, 
 and yet live a hard life of toil and privation with endurance. Resembles Thomas Hardy's 
 novels in both its realism and its melancholy. [3s. 6d., Heinemann.] 
 
 Eli's Daughter. 1896 
 
 A pessimistic tale of fisher and mining folk in Cornwall, enlivened by the light-hearted love- 
 making of two rustics, Eli's daughter and a young fisherman. The gaiety does not last 
 long, for a stalwart farmer also comes a-courting, and misfortunes fall thick. [3s. 6d., 
 Heinemann.] 
 
 Ezekiel's Sin : a Cornish Romance. 1898 
 
 A pathetic story of fisher-folk. The old fisherman Ezekiel one day pulls up a drowned man 
 with a large sum of money tied round him ; and yields to the temptation to keep it, 
 for his favourite daughter's sake. But the gold is the beginning of troubles to him and his 
 loved ones, and he finds no peace till on his death-bed. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.25, J. F. 
 Taylor, New York.] 
 
 Youth goes a-Marketing. 1901 
 
 A similar drama of humble life, the love-story of a young Cornishman and two girls of wholly 
 
 opposite natures ; like the foregoing, worked out strictly on the lines of character-develop- 
 ment, incident being of comparatively trifling interest. A village of tin-miners is the scene. 
 [6s., G. Allen.]

 Scene, Bayonne and district, pictured by one who knows and loves the country, dehghts in

 Two cousins with little in common are persuaded by a stratagem that they love each otlier. 
 When betrothed and really in love, they discover that their coming together has not been 
 spontaneous, and the resulting situation is in many ways pathetic. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., 
 Bentley : o.p.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Peard, Miss Frances Mary (continued). — Catherine. 1893 
 
 A love-tale of the times of the Napoleonic wars : peaceful English life in contrast with the 
 haunting fears that prevailed. The characters of two lovers are tested by the heroine's 
 loss of beauty. [3s. 6d., Innes : o.p. ; ?i, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Interloper. 1894 
 
 Provincial and domestic life in France. A weak but attractive baron is saved from calamity 
 by a rich bourgeois wife, not merely by her wealth, but by her good sense and devotion. 
 [2 vols., 2IS., Bentley ; $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Donna Teresa. 1899 
 
 A love-tale of English people in Rome and Sicily. A man asks a girl to marry him, and falls 
 in love with the deeper and truer character of her sister : the solution is melodramatic. 
 [6s. ($1.50), Macmillan.]

 Magnus Sinclair. 1904 
 
 A Northumberland and Scots Border story of Cavaliers, Cromwellians, and Covenanters, 
 
 rather ponderously equipped with historical and topographical erudition {1649-51). The 
 author is an amateur of fencing, and makes the most of encounters with the sword, e.g. 
 the hero fights a duel with Cromwell. [6s., Constable.]

 Pemberton, Max [6. 1863]. The Iron Pirate. 1893 
 
 An exciting story of wholesale plundering by a formidable vessel, driven by electricity and 
 manned by a rough and motley crew. A sensation story in Jules Verne's style, without his 
 scientific imagination. [2s. u., is. n., Cassell ; 25c., American News Co., New York.] 
 
 The Impregnable City. 1895 
 
 A series of thrilling adventures, in a style midway between Dumas and Jules Verne, centring

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Perry, Walter Copland [1814-1911]. Sancta Paula: a Romance of the Fourth 
 Century, a.d. 1902 
 
 Prepared for by study of Jerome, Gibbon, Milman, Dill, Thierry, etc. ; heavily encumbered 
 with history. But the figures of Saints Jerome and Paula stand out well. Detailed pic- 
 tures of Rome under Valentinian, Byzantium under Valens, and the hermits in the 
 Egyptian deserts {362-403). [6s., Sonnenschein.] 
 
 Phillipps-Wolley, Clive [b. 1854]. The Chicamon Stone. 1900 
 
 Adventures in the mountains and among savages in Alaska and the Yukon region, in search 
 of a gold reef ; comprising travel pictures of these wild, desolate, and perilous lands. 
 [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Phillpotts, Eden [b. 1862]. Down Dartmoor Way. 1895 
 
 Ten tales of Dartmoor and the neighbourhood, dealing with simple folk and describing beauti- 
 ful landscapes, e.g. A Curse Half Spoke, two scenes in a mariner's life, at home in Devon, 
 and cast away on the ocean — an idyll poetizing a bit of superstition ; Brake-Fern Weir, a 
 tragic story told by a water-bailiff to an angler on the Dart ; Children of the Mist, the 
 brief career and self-immolation of a lion-hearted boy. [3s. 6d., Harper.] 
 
 Children of the Mist. 1898 
 
 A long and crowded novel of a Dartmoor village and its beautiful surroundings, in the style of 
 Mr. Hardy's Wessex novels — the foundation of the story being the growth and mutual 
 influence of character. Embraces a number of varied personalities — the mercurial hero, 
 his vengeful rival, some finely drawn women, a village poet, farmers, gipsies, parish 
 humourists, etc. Many of the dialogues and witticisms are very comic and racy in their 
 broad Devon. Attempts to outUne a definite philosophy of life and conduct. [6s., Innes : 
 o.p. ; $1.25, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 The Human Boy. 1899 
 
 Facetious tales and sketches of school life from the boy's point of view — practical jokes, 
 mock-heroic escapades, queer idiosyncrasies, the humours of class routine and of school- 
 masters. [6s., Methuen ; $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Human Boy Again [sequel]. 1908 
 
 [6s., Chapman.] 
 
 Sons of the Morning. 1900 
 
 Country people of a village on the edge of Dartmoor depicted in the manner of Thomas Hardy. 
 
 Shows the same fatalistic feeling, and the same treatment of rustic humours and scenery. 
 There are three principal actors, a yeoman's daughter, who manages her own farm, and a 
 pair of contrasted lovers ; and the drama played out by these three, the misunderstand- 
 ings, the jealousies and weaknesses, involve much alternation of tragedy and happiness. 
 [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 The Good Red Earth. ' 1901 
 
 A short novel, remarkable for the way in which the idea of Nature, as embodied in the fields, 
 trees, and lanes of the apple country between Dartmoor and the sea, predominates in the 
 writer's imagination over the merely human part. Thus the book is largely descriptive 
 of outdoor life, while the rustic characters act in a plot of a conventional order. 
 
 The Striking Hours. 1901 
 
 Fourteen stories of a village (Gidleigh) near " Dartymoor," told by old Devon worthies in a 
 literary solution of the vernacular. Of the tragic, Sam of Sorrow Corner is the most power- 
 ful ; Right of Way, a funeral story, is racy and humorous ; The Red Rose is a tender idyll 
 of courtship ; and the longest, The Devil's Tight Rope, admirably epitomizes the author's 
 finer characteristics. [6s., Methuen; §1.50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 The River. 1902 
 
 Ranks with Children of the Mist as by far the best work of Mr. Phillpotts. The life of a simple, 
 pious countryman, a moorland gamekeeper, whose religion and heroic patience are sorely 
 tried by the falsehood of the woman he was about to marry. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 331 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Phillpotts, Eden {continued). — The American Prisoner. 1904 
 
 A story of when thousands of French and American prisoners were herded in the war prison 
 at Princetown, and goaded by their miseries into several desperate outbreais (1814). 
 The characters are stamped with melodramatic traits — the gentleman farmer with his 
 lost amphora, his daughter with her three lovers, and the fierce, avaricious, unsexed 
 beldame, Lovey Lee, who plots to set the prisoners free, and then betrays them. [6s., 
 Methuen.] 
 
 The Farm of the Dagger. 1904 
 
 A story of the same period and the same occurrences, complicated with a vendetta between 
 two yeomen farmers. [3s. 6d., Newnes.] 
 
 The Secret Woman. 1905 
 
 An ugly story of clandestine indulgence, and the jealousy of a good and reUgious woman 
 who kills her husband in a fit of passion. Here the real tragedy begins, involving the sons, 
 who witnessed the act, and the secret woman, the cause of it. [6s., Methuen ; §1.50 n., 
 Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Portreeve. 1906 
 
 A Dartmoor Mayor of Casterbridge — the ill-starred career of a stiff-necked countryman, who 
 falls a victim to the rancour of a slighted woman. Mr. Phillpotts is now entering on his 
 titanic phase, and the novels of this period depict fierce, turbulent characters, savage 
 passions and crime ; with less of the careful drawing of temperament and the rustic humours 
 which redeemed his earlier stories. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, MacmiUan, New York.] 
 
 The Whirlwind. 1907 
 
 Scene, near Lydford and Great Links Tor. The usual tragic factors slightly rearranged — a 
 simple, gigantic. God-fearing labourer, his wife who goes wrong, and a vengeful rival. 
 [6s., Chapman ; ?i.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 The Mother. 1908 
 
 Another vehement melodrama of ungovernable passion, revenge, and superhuman forbear- 
 ance, with a fine figure of a mother tenderly drawn. [6s., is. n.. Ward & Lock ; sub tit. 
 Mother of the Man, $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Three Brothers. 1909 
 
 Returns to character-drawing with a crowd of rustic people, focussing attention on three 
 sexagenarians, one of whom, a crusty misanthrope, is supposed to turn sentimentahst in 
 his dotage. Enormously long-drawn-out discussions and far-fetched scenic displays. 
 [6s., IS. n., Hutchinson ; ^1.50, Macmillan, New York ; 50c., Burt, New York.] 
 
 — The Haven. 1909 
 
 Scene, a fishing village in Devon ; the shopkeepers and farming population being described as 
 well as the mariners and their family life. [6s., Murray ; $1.50, Lane, New York.] 
 
 — The Thief of Virtue. 1910 
 
 An open-hearted, breezy old farmer brings up a son who is the fruit of his wife's intimacy with 
 an old sweetheart, and has his latter days embittered by the young man's incompatibility 
 of character. [6s., Murray; $1.50, Lane, New York.] 
 
 — Demeter's Daughter. 1911 
 
 A problem novel in which a Dartmoor thatcher and his wife and family provide the factors for 
 the reader to work out, with the usual elaborate scene-painting and patient character- 
 drawing of the country folk. [6s., Methuen ; $1.35 n., Lane, New York.] 
 
 — The Beacon. 1911 
 
 Another three-cornered love-story, the girl a philosophically loquacious barmaid. Contains 
 one character from real life, not mere literary gestation, the hard old miser Mortimore. 
 Scene, N.E. Dartmoor — under Cosdon. [6s., Unwin ; $1.30 n.. Lane, New York.]

 A clever, extravagant melodrama of high finance, murder, and the marvels of scientific inven- 
 tion, [is. n., Cassell ; §1.50, Moffat, New York.] 
 
 PiCKTHALL, Marmaduke [b. 1875]. Said the Fisherman. 1903 
 
 The career of an adventurer (1860-82), who begins life as a poor fisherman on the Syrian 
 coast, takes part in the Druses' massacre of Christians, becomes a rich merchant in Damas- 
 cus, is ruined, and after grievous vicissitudes perishes at Alexandria in Arabi's revolt. 
 One of our finest Oriental novels, worth comparing with Hajji Baha and Hermann Agha, 
 in its faithful interpretation of Eastern humanity, with its humours, selfishness, fatalism, 
 and the modes of thought usually so inscrutable to Europeans ; and hardly less remarkable 
 for its complete objectivity of manner and self-effacement of the author. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The House of Islam. 1906 
 
 Children of the Nile. 1908 
 
 Mr. Pickthall wrote some novels of the ordinary modern type, and then returned to the Oriental 
 scenes of his first, the Mohammedan world, the desert and the mosque, and the intricacies 
 of Oriental character, [(i) 6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Appleton, New York ; (2) 6s., Murray.] 
 
 PiNKERTON, Thomas A. John Newbold's Ordeal. 1889 
 
 A novel of character, with vivacious portraiture of Biscoe, a vulgar, unscrupulous brewer. 
 Mrs. Newbold, " whose severity was so diluted with copious speech and qualified by re- 
 ligious sentiment " ; Archdeacon Newbold, " one of the most fortunate of holy clerks " ; 
 Miss Leigh, the heiress ; and that remarkable personality Limb, the fox-terrier. [6s., 
 Sonnenschein.] 
 
 The Spanish Poniard : being the Story of the Remorse of Ambrose Drybridge. 
 
 1890 
 
 Scene, rural Warwickshire at the close of the Elizabethan age. The adventurers who followed 
 Drake to the Spanish Main, and the fanatics who nourished their violent instincts on 
 dreams of divine wrath and their own providential selection, well represented (1620-42). 
 [5s., Sonnenschein.] 
 
 The Last Master of Carnandro : the Story of the Revenge of Ronald Sinclair. 
 
 1890 
 
 A successful, proud, and egotistical man is suddenly insulted and beaten so ignominiously that 
 he becomes almost insane, and, with his whole being warped by hatred, devotes his life to 
 revenge. [3s. 6d., Sonnenschein.] 
 
 A New Saint's Tragedy. 1891 
 
 A story of middle-class life, strong in characterization, and with a good deal of humour. [6s., 
 Sonnenschein ; 50c., Harper, New York.] 
 
 The French Prisoner : a Romance of Dartmoor and the Western Seas. 1894 
 
 Adventures in the time of the Bonaparte scare, smuggling, duelling, etc., worked up with 
 plenty of local colour. [6s., Sonnenschein.] 
 
 Dead Oppressors. 1899 
 
 A ghastly story — a young man falls in love with his father's illegitimate daughter, and dies of 
 the shock of discovery. [6s., Sonnenschein.] 
 
 PoRTMAN, Lionel. Hugh Rendal: a Public School Story. 1905 
 
 — : — The Progress of Hugh Rendal. 1907 
 
 Hugh Rendal was acclaimed as " the most truthful story of school life that we know." Its 
 characteristic was truthful description without any lapses into mere " effects " ; and the 
 sequel, telUng of Hugh's Oxford days, is equally veracious down to the moment when the 
 distinguished blue falls in love, aij.d the story ends in the approved sentimental fashion,

 the Australian in England. The authoress is a native of Queensland. [2s., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 Longleat of Kooralbyn. 1881 
 
 Policy and Passion was the original title. A lurid novel of passion, very frank in expression 
 of feeling. Thoroughly Australian. [6s., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 Outlaw and Lawmaker. 1893 
 
 Life and politics in Australia, bushranging, etc. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto ; $1.50, Appleton, 
 New York.] 
 
 Mrs. Tregaskiss. 1896 
 
 Vivid description of the rough life, the scenery of the bush, and the arid plains of Australia. 
 A story of unlawful and unhappy love, the central figure being an imaginative woman of 
 nervous temperament, who revolts from a dull and commonplace husband, a bushman. 
 Brings out forcibly the influence on such a mind of the dreary environment and the rude, 
 uncivilized life. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Niilma. 1897 
 
 Nulma, an innocent and beautiful Australian in the first bloom of womanhood, is brought into 
 contact with a group of decadent people from English Society, and, unfortunately, learns

 " Prevost, Francis " [Henry Francis Prevost Battersby; b. 1862]. False Dawn. 
 
 1897 
 
 A psychological study of forbidden love, after the manner of Paul Bourget, the subtlety and 
 reticences of the dialogue recalling Henry James's latest style. The inherent strength 
 and chastity of the principal characters, an ambitious pohtician and the woman he loves, 
 who is another's wife, make it a serious and far from an ignoble story. [6s., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 Price, Miss Eleanor Catherine. The Foreigners. 1883 
 
 Intimate dehneations of rural France, its people and manners, particularly of the provincial 
 noblesse. The plot turns on the difference between French and English ways of arranging

 Alexia. 1887

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Prior, James [James Prior Kirk]. Forest Folk. 190 1 
 
 Farm life in a Nottinghamshire village on the edge of Sherwood Forest, at the time of the 
 Luddite riots and machine-wrecking. Character, or the growth and decay of character, 
 is the main interest, the latter finely traced in the downfall of a talented young villager who 
 ends his life as an outcast. [6s., Heinemann ; ?i.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 A Walking Gentleman. 1907 
 
 A fine-flavoured Borrovian story of low life and the open road, thoroughly real and alive in 
 its portraiture of the essential man, labourer, harvester, stonebreaker, factory hand, or 
 tramp, and its psychology of the peer who takes to the wandering life out of disgust and 
 boredom. [6s., Constable; $1.50, Dutton, New York.] 
 
 Fortuna Chance. 1910 
 
 A country novel, modelled on Scott at his best and written on the same ample scale, portraying 
 the villagers, shepherds, beggars, and gipsies, and also the gentlefolk of the Sherwood 
 region and the Derbyshire moorlands, at the time of the '45. Roland Chance gets mixed 
 up with the Highlanders and is suspected of murder, and the romantic events of the latter 
 part end in a dramatic trial scene (1725-46). [6s., Constable.] 
 
 Prowse, Richard Orton [b. 1862]. The Poison of Asps. 1892 
 
 Tragic without the least sensational incident, the three persons to whom the reader's sympathy 
 is engaged being the victims of the pettiness, the love of scandal and hatred of the uncon- 
 ventional, that characterize the society of a little country town. [3s. 6d., Methuen.] 
 
 Voysey. 1901 
 
 The subject is sordid and at times revolting — the history of a liaison between Voysey and a 
 sentimental, discontented wife. The author's method is exhaustive analysis after the manner 
 of Henry James, while the frankness of his realism in certain scenes suggests Zola. The 
 characters are dull, poor-spirited people, who in themselves have little interest. [6s., 
 Heinemann; Si. 50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Pryce, Miss Daisy Hugh. Valda Hanem : the Romance of a Turkish Harem. 
 
 1899 
 A British officer's intrigue with a Turkish pasha's beloved wife, who has been imbued with 
 English ideals of romantic love. Intimate descriptions of the interior of a harem and of life 
 in modern Cairo. [6s. {$1.50), Macmillan.] 
 
 The Pasha. 190 1 
 
 The writer uses her extensive knowledge of life in Constantinople to draw an attractive por- 
 trait of a Turkish gentleman. This excellent man falls in love with an English governess 
 and marries her ; their family life is pleasantly depicted. The Armenian question of 1896 
 has sideUghts thxown on it favourable to the Turk. [6s., G. Allen.] 
 
 Pryce, Gwendolen. John Jones, Curate. 1901 
 
 The simple, uneventful life of country people in Anglesey, their ambitions, joys, and sorrows, 
 woven into a pretty idyll. The authoress has been called " the Welsh Crockett " ; she 
 has his truth to, and love of, the soil, without his sensationalism. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Pryce, Richard [b. 1864]. Jezebel. 1900 
 
 The name was given by a jealous lord to the daughter of a wife whom he suspected. His 
 revenge recoils on him ; the wife elopes, and the girl he stigmatized grows up to be the 
 consolation of his life. [6s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 PUGH, Edwin William [b. 1874]. A Street in Suburbia. 1895 
 
 Impressionist sketches of people and manners in a Cockney neighbourhood ; the patois 
 faithfully reproduced. [3s., 2s. 6d., Heinemann ; $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Tony Drum, Cockney Boy. 1898 
 
 A slight story founded on observations of London characters. Tony and other denizens of 
 the slums are drawn reaUstically in their squalid surroundings, but the sympathy and 
 humour of the author show also what is pleasant and estimable in their life. [6s., Heine- 
 mann ; $1.50, Holt, New York.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 PuGH, Edwin William {continued). — Mother- Sister. 1900 
 
 The heroine of this story of low life is a staunch and self-reliant girl, daughter of an old prize- 
 fighter and gaol-bird, who is more than a mother to her brothers and sisters ; one of these 
 is a ne'er-do-well, another a factory-girl who runs away with a rascally bookmaker, and 
 so on. Realistic, showing the pleasures and excitements, as well as the miseries, of the 
 slums. [6s., Hurst.]

 The Enchantress. 1908 
 
 [6s., IS. n., Milne.] 
 
 — — The Broken Honeymoon. 1908 
 
 [6s., Milne.] 
 
 Novels that give a rather rose-coloured and optimistic picture of the poor and the lower middle- 
 classes in the East and the South-East. The uglier sides^ — " the habitual squalor and the 
 atmosphere of mean, pretentious poverty," and the sordid spirit of the average denizen of 
 Suburbia — break through at times, as in the last novel, which tells about a seaside honey- 
 moon. 
 
 PuGH, Edwin William, and Godfrey Burchett. The Heritage. 1901 
 
 A gloomy study of the effects of hereditary alcoholism on the several members of a family. 
 Though its influence acts in diverse ways, the taint in the blood proves to be the over- 
 mastering agent of their destinies, and the philosophy of the book is very pessimistic. 
 [6s., Sands.] 
 
 PuGH, Edwin William, and C. Gleig. The Rogue's Paradise. 1902 
 
 [3s. 6d., Allenson.] 
 
 PuxLEY, Francis Lavallin. Maitland of Cortezia. 1900

 tropical colony in South America, inhabited by mutinous Spaniards, who get up a revo- 
 lution. Maitland loves a beautiful rebel. [6s., De La More Press.] 
 
 QuANTOCK, Andrew. Tandra. 1899 
 
 A lurid melodrama, laid amongst the pestilential swamps of a mining district. Embraces a 
 number of forceful and passionate characters ; the style highly coloured. [3s. 6d., Pear- 
 son.] 
 
 QuiNN, Ethel. The Well-Sinkers : an Australian Pastoral. 1899 
 
 An honest picture of the dull, colourless life of a remote station in New South Wales. [2s. 6d., 
 Unwin.] 
 
 Radford, Mrs. C. H. Jenny of the Villa. 1900 
 
 A conscientious portrayal of life among tradespeople in the provinces ; studies of character :

 Randal, John. . Pacifico. 1901 
 
 An " up-to-date " romance ; scene, an island republic in the Ionian Sea, which has its extra- 
 dition treaty; financial schemes of an extravagant kind, desperate adventures, and 
 picturesque personages are woven into an ingenious narrative. [6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Rawson, Maud Stepney [nee Fife]. A Lady of the Regency. 1900 
 
 The heroine of the love-romance is an affectionate servant of Queen Caroline. A complete 
 recital of the unhappy queen's life and misfortunes down to her death, with pictures 
 of her Court, of the celebrities of the time. Brougham, Castlereagh, Grattan, the Regent,

 Hutchinson ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Journeyman Love. 1902 
 
 The love-story of a young Bristolian in Paris is of less interest than the author's drawing of 
 numerous celebrities of the eventful period, 1840-8. George Sand, Chopin, Heine, 
 Lamartine, Berlioz, Countess Potocka, Madame de Girardin, Guizot, Louis Napoleon, 
 etc., appear and talk, and the presentment, though ambitious, is not unsuccessful. [6s., 
 Hutchinson.]

 that follow. [3s. 6d., Hodder ; $1.25, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 In the Smoke of War. 1895 
 
 A plaintive little story of the suffering and anxiety inflicted on the ignorant country people 
 by the Civil War. A friendless girl, her captured father, the absent lover, and a cowardly 
 rustic wooer are the characters, and the scene is a village near Langport in Somerset, 
 where the battle was fought (1645). [is. 6d., Arrowsmith, Bristol; I1.25, Macmillan, 
 New York.] 
 
 Tryphena in Love. 1895 
 
 A fanciful idyll of agricultural life in an old-world village. Mrs. Pettigrew is a milder Mrs. 
 Poyser, and the tomboyish, tender-hearted Tryphena, with her alleged lack of " feelings," 
 is prettily contrasted with the rich young lady who captivates her lover without meaning 
 it. [as. 6d. n.. Dent ; 75c., Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Charity Chance. 1897 
 
 A love-comedy in a little Somersetshire watering-place on the Bristol Channel. r6s.. Sands ;

PRESENT DAY 
 
 and with their insight into life's fundamental realities have much to teach their educated 
 superiors in the social scale. He prefers the bracing atmosphere of the Devon fishing-port 
 to the smug utiUtarian virtues of our artificial middle class. The book is virtually a direct 
 record of his experiences among the fisher-folk, on the beach, in their homes, and in their 
 daily labours on the sea, all which, with their personal traits, their manners, and their 
 racy conversation, are hit off with an accuracy at times almost too conscientious. [6s; 
 ($1.50), Lane.]

 wars with the French. The finest part of the book is the description of nature in the vast 
 Acadian forests. [6s., Constable.] 
 
 The Backwoodsmen. 1909 
 
 Miscellaneous stories and sketches of the human and the wild life of the forest. [6s., Ward & 
 
 Lock; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Roberts, Morley \b. 1857]. In Low Relief. 1890 
 
 A realistic story of bohemian Ufe ; the hero an art critic, the heroine a model. But the realism 
 is not merely superficial — it interprets the thoughts and ideals of men who inhabit a difierent 
 world from the conventional. [3s. 6d., 2s., Chapman ; ?i, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 The Earth-Mother. 1896

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Roberts, Morley (continued). — The Great Jester : Some Jests of Fate. 1896 
 
 Eighteen short stories, the subjects taken from all kinds of life and from all over the globe; 
 scenes of wild colonial life in British Columbia and Australia, scenes afloat, and domestic 
 scenes usually turning on unlawful passion. All express a fatalistic and sombre idea of 
 life, many deal with the hallucinations of distempered minds. [3s. 6d., Mentz : o.p.] 
 
 Maurice Quain. 1897 
 
 A study of London life below the surface, which strongly resembles some of Zola's novels in 
 piling up details into one vast overpowering image endowed with a life of its own and having 
 a shaping influence over the lives of men. This idea inspires many descriptive rhapsodies, 
 and dominates the character of the hero, a man whose will power has been sapped by the 
 deadly allurements of the city. The plot brings together people who are outside the pale 
 of respectabiUty, and the morahty is the glorification of strength made popular by Rudyard 
 KipUng. [6s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 A Sea Comedy. 1899 
 
 A yarn. Rabelaisian in its broad humour, about a ship and a crew of ruined and lawless miners 
 homeward bound from Australia, and the queer adventures that befell them. [2s. 6d., 
 Milne.] 
 
 A Son of Empire. 1899 
 
 Portrait of a strenuous soldier and explorer, with the complicated history of his persecution 
 by his superiors and salvation by a clever girl — perhaps inspired by the story of Sir Richard 
 and Lady Burton. [6s., Hutchinson ; $1, 50c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 The Colossus. 1899 
 
 A mixture of fact and fiction about a man (for whom Cecil Rhodes is obviously the model), 
 setting forth his grandiose schemes for the exploitation of Africa, and how these were 
 affected by a woman's falling in love with him (1853-1902). [6s., Arnold; ?i.25. Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Plunderers. 1900 
 
 A third of these combinations of romance and realism aiming to glorify physical force and 
 jingoism. The history of a sort of " Jameson Raid," conceived by a Foreign Ofi5ce clerk 
 and put into efiect by two daring Englishmen and an Albanian, to carry off the jewels 
 of the Shah from Teheran. Love-making and fighting are intermingled, and events go 
 forward with rapidity to the triumphant conclusion. [6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Taken by Assault. 1901 
 
 A love-story and tale of adventure in the last Boer War and on the veldt (i 900-1). The in- 
 domitable hero gets into Pretoria to rescue a man, as the price of his betrothal to the 
 heroine. [6s., Sands.] 
 
 Immortal Youth. 1902 
 
 Irregular life and irregular love among artists' models and unsuccessful literary men in bohe- 
 mian Chelsea. Parker Fullerton, hard-headed, cynical, but generous and passionately 
 in love, and the Pandemian Sara, are striking characters. An emancipated and daringly 
 tolerant philosophy of life is set forth in rather high-flown style. [6s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 Rachel Marr. 1903 
 
 [6s., Nash.] 
 
 The Blue Peter : Sea Comedies. 1906 
 
 Five broad farces, largely at the expense of objectionable skippers, crimps, and conscienceless 
 shipowners. The coarse humour and profanity of the modern sailorman reproduced 
 without stint. [6s., Nash ; $1.50, Page, Boston.] 
 
 Roberts, Morley, and Max Montesole. The Shadow of Allah. 1900 
 
 Adventures of a Circassian in Constantinople, related by himself ; sensational intrigues and 
 multifarious incident, side by side with views of life and politics and social movements, 
 of the western ideals of the Young Turkish party, and the stern piety of older patriots. 
 [6s., Long.]

 1905

 First edn. entitled The Kennedys. Describes the terrible feud between the Cassillis Kennedys 
 
 and the Kennedys of Bargany. John Mure of Auchendrane is the protagonist, and his 
 
 death is the catastrophe of the tale. (See also Crockett's Grey Man, p. 218.)

 The Dule Tree of Cassillis. 1904 
 
 An episode in the history of the Kennedys, Earls of Cassillis — ^the unscrupulous attempt of

 revenges that were the consequence (1564-71) . See Scott's account in the notes to Ivanhoe 
 [6s., Menzies, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Robinson, Agnes Mary Frances [Mme. Duclaux, formerly ]V[me. Darmesteter ; 
 b. 1857]. A Mediaeval Garland. 1897 
 
 Obscure episodes connected with history, showing chiefly the tragic side of the Middle Ages, 
 and related with tender pathos. Italy and France are the scenes. The Story of Antonio — 
 scene, Assisi, the death of St. Francis (1290). Philip the Leal — a few scenes in Cher- 
 bourg, where Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, is Governor, at the time of Joan of Arc's 
 rising (1429). The Ballads of the Dauphine — scene, Chalons, where the Dauphine 
 Margaret, daughter of James I of Scotland, neglected by her husband and persecuted 
 by jealous and suspicious nobles, dies of. a broken heart (1446). Countess of Dammartin — 
 the great gulf fixed between the vassal and his lord by feudalism. Her husband being 
 driven from his castle, the Countess seeks refuge among his dependants, who repulse her, 
 all save one honest man, who guards and maintains her till the Count returns, and then is 
 repaid by a contemptuous gift (1464). The True Story of White-Rose and the Fair Sibyl — 
 the beautiful wife of a jeweller at Metz, Sibyl, is seduced by an English prince, renounced 
 by her husband, and flung into prison by the citizens. She hangs herself at last — another 
 example of the saying that the woman suffers. A story rich with mediaeval colour, not 
 without a subtle irony in the telling (1518). [6s., Lawrence & BuUen : o.p.] 
 
 RoDWAY, James. In Guiana Wilds. 1899 
 
 Life in an Enghsh settlement in Demerara (British Guiana) and among the Indians. An

 ROLFE, Frederick W. S. A. L. M. [" Frederick Baron Corvo "]. Stories Toto 
 Told Me. 1898 
 
 [is. n.. Lane.] 
 
 In His Own Image. 1901 
 
 Books of Italian folk-lore in the form of tales, with which the loquacious young Toto regales 
 his master, an artist, the supposed recorder. The names and titles of his mythology, 
 angels and virgins, saints and martyrs, are Christian ; the whole spirit is pagan, abounding 
 in joviahty and humour, and related with the famihar irreverence begotten of primitive 
 faith. [6s. (?i.5o). Lane.] 
 
 Don Tarquinio : a Kataleptic Romance. 1905 
 
 Half extravaganza; a day of crowded hfe in the Rome of the Borgias (1495). Shows an

 Reported conversations with a young criminal in London, who relates his escapades in cheating, 
 burglary, and the various occupations of a professional law-breaker. The cant Ungo is

 Mrs. Drummond, a French-English girl of Boulogne, becomes the wife of a missionary in 
 China, and on her widowhood has a liaison with a Russian prince, before settling down 
 to a decorous life in Clapham. _ The point is the admirable facility and success with which 
 women adapt themselves to life ; an idea brought out with truth of drawing and complete 
 honesty, in spite of the satirical implication — the missionary, the fellow-minister, the 
 fellow-labourers in China, the converted natives, the humdrum Clapham set, all being 
 pictured with striking fidelity. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.20 n., Rickey, New York.] 
 
 Rynd, Evelyne Elsye. Mrs. Green. 1901 
 
 Mrs. Green is an entertaining old charwoman, quite a " character," who in a series of con- 
 versations propounds her views of things in general, and sketches in forcible colours the 
 characters of friends and acquaintances. She is obviously a relative of Mrs. Gamp, and a 
 similar Cockney dialect seasons her gossip. [2s. 6d. n., Murray ; 75c., Putnam, New York.]

 Life in the New Zealand bush. [6s. ($1.50), Macmillan.] 
 
 Savile, Mrs. Helen. Love, the Player. 1899 
 
 A tragic plot, with sketches of Irish life and unpleasant specimens of humanity in the rector

 is depicted with humour. [6s., Sonnenschein.] 
 
 The Wings of the Morning. 1901 
 
 A fresh story of modern social life in Loudon, with its unrealities and make-believes, illus- 
 trating the capacity for love and self-sacrifice in a couple of rather elderly people. [3s. 6d., 
 Sonnenschein.] 
 
 ScHREiNER, Olive [Mrs. Cronwright ; " Ralph Iron "]. The Story of an African 
 Farm. 1883 
 
 A novel as unusual in scheme and almost as poetical as Wuthering Heights, to which it has 
 near resemblances — e.g. the solitary, self-rehant souls, Waldo and Ljrudall, to Heathcliff 
 and Catherine. These two, on an ostrich farm in the S. African veldt, work out for them- 
 selves the universal problem of human life and destiny, the vast lonehness of the scenery 
 symbolizing artistically the solitude and helplessness of man and the inscrutable might of 
 nature. The earlier chapters, describing the. childhood of Waldo and his friends, with the 
 idyllic old Otto, Taute Sannie, the Boer housekeeper, and the humorous Bonaparte 
 Blenkins, are by far the best of the book as a novel. Afterwards it becomes a philosophical 
 pamphlet, full of powerful sajfings and with one splendidly imaginative passage, the 
 allegory of Truth, though this is put undramatically in the mouth of a chance stranger. 
 [is. n., Hutchinson ; 60c., Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Dreams. 1891 
 
 Dream Life and Real Life. 1892 
 
 Stories and fables of a gnomic and aphoristic kind, teaching Olive Schreiner's spiritual view of

 Unwin.] 
 
 Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland. 1897 
 
 A tract for the times on the black and white problem of South Africa, in which Jesus Christ, 
 coming in the flesh to Mashonaland, is the principal spokesman. A powerful attack on

 Scott, Mrs. C. A. Dawson (continued). — Treasure Trove. 1909 
 
 [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Duffield, New York.] 
 
 The Agony Column. 1909 
 
 A sober and serious study of a woman with sentimental cravings married to a man who does 
 not fulfil her ideals, and dissatisfied with the common routine of life. She finds a responsive 
 heart in a young Jew, and the results are tragic for herself and her middle-aged husband. 
 [6s., Chapman.]

 Mrs. Noakes : an Ordinary Woman. 1911

 turns out a poor sort of creature. A sombre and pathetic, but thoroughly sincere study of 
 actuality. [6s., Chapman.] 
 
 Scott, G. Firth. Colonial Born. 1900 
 
 A melodramatic tale of wild Hf e in the Queensland of the gold-diggers, containing many exciting 
 scenes and realistic sketches of rough-hewn character. [6s., Low.] 
 
 Seaman, Owen [b. 1861]. Borrowed Plumes. 1902 
 
 Parodies of novelists, poets, and other writers of the day — Mrs. Craigie, Miss Fowler, Hall 
 Caine, Marie CoreUi, Mr. Dooley, Hewlett, Meredith, Lord Avebury, Mrs. H. Ward, W. E. 
 Henley, Henry James, Maeterlinck, etc. The imitations are closer and more elaborate, 
 much less summary and trenchant, than those of Bret Harte ; the humour of a subtler 
 nature. [3s. 6d. n., Constable ; $1.25, Holt, New York.] 
 
 Sedgwick, Anne Douglas [Mrs. Basil de Selincourt ; American by birth; 6. 1873]. 
 The Dull Miss Archinard. 1898 
 
 [6s., IS. n., Heinemann ; $1.50, Century Co., New York.] 
 
 The Confounding of Camelia. 1899

 Valerie Upton. 1907 
 
 A psychological comedy of a very serious cast. Valerie, a figure of intense humanity, is con- 
 trasted with her priggish daughter, the " frosty, white-souled, high-principled Imogen," 
 a shallow product of New England Puritanism. [6s., Constable ; sub tit. A Fountain 
 Sealed, $1.50, Century Co., New York.] 
 
 Amabel Channice. 1908 
 
 Sad story of a marriage failure. [6s., Arnold ; ?i.50, Century Co., New York.]

 enlightenment by which the right two are eventually brought together. [6s., Arnold ; 
 $1.50, Century Co., New York.] 
 
 Tante. 1911 
 
 A similar study, as usual very diffuse, of the misunderstandings and contradictions of tempera- 
 ment. Tante, a great European pianist, subjugates the soul of a simple and clear-natured 
 girl, who does not see the egoism and cruelty of this dangerous woman till her own life has 
 been almost spoiled. [6s., Arnold ]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Seeley, Edith. Under Cheddar Cliffs, a Hundred Years Ago. [juvenile] 1903 
 
 Life among the ignorant and brutal lead-miners, farmers, and village folk, of the Mendip Hills 
 in Somerset. Hannah More (1745-1833) is introduced, with her efforts to reform them ; 
 and William Wilberforce {1759-1833) just appears. [5s., Seeley.] 
 
 Senior, Dorothy. The Clutch of Circumstance. 1908 
 
 An Arthurian romance inspired by Malory, bringing in the Knights of the Round Table, 
 
 Cormac, King of Leinster, and other heroes. [6s., Black; ?J.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Service, Robert W. The Trail of '98. 1911 
 
 A love-melodrama, with strong pictures of the fierce life of the gold-hunters of Klondyke. 
 [6s., Unwin ; $1.30 n., Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Seton, Ernest Thompson [b. i860]. Wild Animals I Have Known. 1898 
 
 The author describes these as true. They are about real, individual animals — wolves, dogs, 
 rabbits, crows, foxes, horses, etc. — whom he actually knew in various parts of N. America. 
 He gets inside his animals and makes their characters clear by means of long observation 
 aided by an affectionate and admiring sympathy. It is something quite difierent from Mr. 
 Kipling's half-miraculous clairvoyance. His intense enjoyment and emotion carries him 
 away at times into passages with a semi-poetical cadence. [With 200 drawings by the 
 author, 6s., Nutt ; $2, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Rolf in the Woods : the Adventures of a Boy Scout with Indian Quonab and 
 
 Little Dog Skookum. 1911 
 
 A boy's book of life among the animals of an American forest. Rolf is on the American side 
 in the war of 1812. [Illustrated by anthor, 6s. n.. Constable ; $1.75 n., Doubleday, New 
 York.] Mr. Seton has written a large number of animal biographies and nature stories, 
 which may be described as zoological novels, e.g. Wild A nimals I have known (see above) , 
 Biography of a Grizzly, and Two Little Savages. 
 
 Setoun, Gabriel" [Thomas NicoU Hepburn; b. 1861]. Robert Urquhart. 1896 
 The love-romance of a schoolmaster in a Fifeshire village, with sketches of local characters, 
 young and old maids, farmers, decayed weavers, and the gossips at the inn. A typical 
 product of the "Kailyard" school; Scottish in language and humour; sentimental, 
 but sane and healthy ; deeply, yet not obtrusively pious. Satirizes the old educational 
 code in the person of a meddling schoolmistress. [6s., Bliss ; 50c., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 The Skipper of Barncraig. 1901 
 
 The tragic story of a life turned away from its natural bent : the hero is brought up to be a 
 
 sailor, though he wants to be a musician. The success of the book is in the drawing of the 
 characters, of the minor characters not least : the gossips and wiseacres of the Fifeshire 
 sea-town, pit-folk, fishermen, country people, and seafaring men are quaint and life-like ; 
 their talk is natural and humorous. [6s., Constable.] 
 
 Shaw, George Bernard [&. 1856]. The Irrational Knot. 1905 
 
 " The second novel of his Nonage " . . . "an early attempt ... to write A Doll's House 
 in English " ; written 1880, pub. 1905. Studies the sex question in the cases of a legal 
 marriage and an irregular union, both between members of opposite social spheres, and 
 concludes in favour of freedom. The hero is an electrical engineer and a very Admirable 
 Crichton. [6s., Constable ; I1.50 n., Brentano, New York.] 
 
 An Unsocial Socialist. 1887 
 
 Love Among the Artists. 1889 
 
 [The second and third "novels of his Nonage." (i) 2s., Sonnenschien : o.p. ; $1.25,

 Cashel Byron's Profession ; also The Admirable Bashville, and an Essay on 
 
 Modern Prize-fighting. 1886 
 
 " No. 4 of the novels of his Nonage." Byron, the gentleman who becomes champion of the 
 ring, and not only makes a good income by his profession but marries a lady, seems to 
 be an adumbration, at least, of the superman. In one of the most significant passages in 
 the book, he proves the supreme value of executive power : " A man that understands one 
 art — even the pugilistic — understands every art." The novel is dramatized, or parodied, 
 in a blank-verse play, which is an absurd travesty of Shakespearian and other kinds of 
 romanticism. [6s., Constable ; $1.25, Brentano, New York.]

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Sheehan, Rev. Patrick Augustine [b. 1852]. My New Curate : a Story Gathered 
 from the Stray Leaves of an Old Diary. 1900 
 
 A faithful study of life in a sequestered seaside village, from the point of view of an old parish 
 priest, full of resolutions to ameliorate the lot of the inhabitants, which come to naught. 
 The comedy of the book arises out of the advent of a curate used to the systematic work 
 of an English city ; his new ideas and energy fill the parish with consternation. [6s., Art 
 and Book Co. ; ?i.5o, Marlier, Boston.] 
 
 Luke Delmege. 1901 
 
 The life of an Irish priest. " The main theme of this great novel is the setting forth of the 
 spiritual ideals of the race and of the heights of moral beauty and heroism to which these can 
 lead " (Rev. Stephen J. Brown, s.j.). Contrasts English and Irish views of life, and depicts 
 in a masterly way the public and private events of the priest's daily routine and the typical 
 incidents of life in Ireland. Canon Sheehan is parish priest of Doneraile. [6s. (I1.50), 
 Longman.] 
 
 Glenanaar : a Story of Irish Life. 1905 
 
 A study of tainted heredity in a family of informers, opening with the trial of the Doneraile 
 conspirators at Cork in 1829, when O'Connell saved the defendants (here described as 
 innocent), and coming down to the great famine of 1848. [6s. ($1.50), Longman.] 
 
 Lisheen ; or, The Test of the Spirits. 1907 
 
 An idealistic member of the landlord class in Kerry puts his ideals of social regeneration into 
 practice by living the life of a common labourer : cf . Tolstoy's Resurrection (see Russian 
 Fiction). [6s. ($1.50), Longman.] 
 
 The Blindness of Dr. Gray ; or, The Final Law. 1909 
 
 Strong in the portrayal of Roman Catholic clerical life in Ireland. Dr. Gray is a moral 
 martinet who believes in strict justice, but finds as time goes on " that it is love, not law, 
 that rules the world." A story with love interest of refreshing charm, considerable 
 pathos, and criticism of politics, religion, and " the change in the mentality of the 
 people," giving food for thought. [6s. (?i. 50), Longman.] 
 
 Sheppard, Alfred Tresidder. The Red Cravat. 1905 
 
 An historical comedy. Crazy old Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia, his grotesque chamberlain, 
 a pair of court jesters, and other eccentrics, join in a most original and diverting fantasia 
 (1730-1). A kidnapped Englishman, enlisted in the giant grenadiers, is the hero. [6s., 
 Macmillan.] 
 
 Running Horse Inn. 1906 
 
 A tragic novel of hatred and revenge, opening with the return of a Peninsular soldier to the 
 inn near Heme Bay on the day his brother marries his old love. The character-drawing 
 is strong, and rural life in the times just after Waterloo is rendered with truth and good 
 humour. More than a glimpse is had of the unrest with which England weis seething, 
 and the Spa Fields liot of 1816 comes into the story. [6s., Macmillan ; Si. 50, Lippincott,

 Shiel, Matthew Phipps [b. 1865]. The Yellow Danger. 1898 
 
 A sensation romance of the near future, and a glorification of jingoism on the largest scale. 
 The Japanese and Chinese set the nations of Europe by the ears with the object of aggran- 
 dizing themselves when their enemies are exhausted. Battles and sea-fights of a monstrous 
 and sanguinary kind succeed each other with bewildering rapidity. [3s. 6d., De La More 
 Press ; $1, 50c., Fenno, New York.] 
 
 — Contraband of War. 1899 
 An exciting tale dealing with the Spanish-American War. [6s., De La More Press.] 
 
 — Cold Steel. 1899 
 
 A rapid, melodramatic story of violent action, fighting, love-making and intrigue, in the 
 England of Henry VIII. That jovial monarch and Anne Boleyn appear, but the interest 
 is not particularly historical. [6s., De La More Press.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Shiel, Matthew Phipps [continued). — The Man-Stealers : an Incident in the Life 
 
 of the Iron Duke. 1900 
 
 A frankly sensational narrative of a French plot to kidnap the Duke of Wellington and avenge 
 the exile of Napoleon ; impossible events simulating truth by sheer rapidity of narrative. 
 [6s., Hutchinson ; $1, 50c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 The Lord of the Sea. 1901 
 
 Another impossible romance in which modern inventions and scientific marvels are dexterously 
 used for sensational effect. The hero is a Jewish Napoleon, who undertakes to subjugate 
 the sea, as the land is subjugated under the present rigime. The events by which he makes 
 himself a mighty ruler in the earth are related with vigorous, if often crude, realism.

 Shipton, Helen. The Strong God Circumstance. 1900 
 
 The idea is to show several characters brought to severe tests of conduct by circumstances 
 beyond their own control. Unselfishness is a prevalent trait of the characters, who are 
 chiefly university people, tutors and students, and their respective lady-loves. [5s., 
 Methuen.] 
 
 SiDGWiCK, Cecily [Mrs. Alfred Sidgwick, nee Ullmann ; "Mrs. Andrew Dean"]. 
 Isaac Eller's Money. 1889 
 
 Intimate portraiture of the community of Frankfort Jews settled in London, a squalid race 
 of money-grubbers, contemptuous of an5rthing better in life, with their less repellent 
 women-folk. A love-story runs through, [is. 6d., XJnwin.]

 [6s., Black ; $2, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Inner Shrine. 1900 
 
 Portraiture of some various characters, an innocent and high-minded girl, a very vulgar and 
 
 pretentious married couple, a bright little boy, and others. Placed in a difficult situation, 
 this engaging type of loyal girlhood, loved by a married man, and compromised by the two 
 scandal-mongers, suffers no loss of dignity or of truth to the inner shrine. [6s., Harper.]

 The Severins. 1909 
 
 Extremely realistic and elaborate character-drawing of a number of major figures and not 
 a few minor is the outstanding quality of all these novels. In the last, we have a sound, 
 solid, conventional young Englishman ; an idealistic social reformer, who is ruthlessly 
 anatomized, together with his shiftless family and their German and Russian friends ; 
 and a heroine of fine personality. [6s., 2s. n., Methuen.] 
 
 The Lantern Bearers. igio 
 
 The true romance in a familiar suburban setting. About the clandestine marriage of a very 
 attractive pair who have to keep their union secret, with amusing results, the wife going 
 out as a lady-help to one of her husband's friends. Much pointed characterization, e.g. 
 the young German learning English methods of business, and his cousins with their des- 
 perate attempts to disguise their German origin. [6s., Methuen.]

 A gloomy story, with some melodramatic scenes. A mad uncle, his niece, whom he tries to

 persuades the much-tried girl to marry him, but her feeUng for him is only friendship, 
 and when she wakes out of the morbid, dreamy state of mind caused by her troubles, 
 she loves another man. The scene is laid in the poor quarters of East London. [6s.,

 Ordinary People. 1909 
 
 Faithful chronicling of the uneventful lives of quite ordinary people, done in such a way as to

 The Small-part Lady ; and other Stories. 1900 
 
 A miscellaneous dozen of stories that summarize this author's characteristics. Title-story 
 is a bit of natural realism about a young chorus-lady, who gets advanced to a small part, 
 much to the gratification of herself and her friends. Miriam, The Third Floor, and Margaret 
 Larimer are compact melodramas with touches of a humour like that of Dickens. [3s. 6d.,

 Tlie Divine Fire. 1904 
 
 A rather prolix study of a poet who, like Francis Thompson, was out of his element in the 
 mercenary trafficking and immoral compromises of the world — especially of the literary 
 world — and visits the depths of misery and destitution ; but, unUke Thompson, at length 
 wins recognition and the love he had worshipped from afar. Incidentally sketches an 
 unscrupulous bookseller — the poet's father — successful editors, an aesthetic Oxford don, 
 and other luminaries little and big of the literary firmament. [2s. n., Nash.]

 The Creators ; a Comedy. 1910 
 
 Solemnly studies a group of immortal geniuses, male and female, their attraction for each 
 other, and the thwarting influence of their devotion to the divine fire. Shall Jane Holland, 
 one of the gifted beings, marry Tanqueray, another whom she loves, or subside upon the 
 commonplace Brodrick ? Genius demands virginity for its fulfilment. This and other 
 kindred problems are discussed with a plethora of talk, as well as debated in the practical 
 evolution of the story. [6s., Constable ; $1.30 n.. Century Co., New York.]

 A Stepson of the Soil. 1910 
 
 Simple country life and common characters, drawn with remarkable understanding, not only 
 of their obvious traits, but also of the more intimate and secret thoughts and feelings which 
 are usually hidden from the quality under the veil of reserve. An old man and his wife, 
 their stepson, a wise woman, and others are drawn with delicate insight. [6s., Arnold.] 
 
 A Romance of the Simple. 1911 
 
 A simple story of life in a sequestered village, depending for its interest and pathos on the truth 
 and tenderness with which the soul of the rustic is revealed. The mind of the idiot son, 
 and the sorrowful yearnings of his mother Patience are finely interpreted. [6s., Arnold.] 
 
 Slade, a. T. a Wayside Weed. 1901 
 
 The Wayside Weed is a peasant girl whom a young maji of culture and musical talent seduces,

 His love-story is affecting, and tragedy is touched when the good priest is confronted 
 with the dilemma of revealing a secret of the confessional or beholding his loved one unjustly 
 condemned. [6s., Hurst.] 
 
 Smith, Miss Isabel. The Minister's Guest. 1900 
 
 The story revolves round a winsome girl, the guest of a minister in a small northern town 
 where Nonconformity is strong. He loves her, and has to watch in silence the growth of 
 her love for another. Nonconformist circles, the household of a sporting parson, and 
 village life supply character-sketches. [6s., Unwiu ; $1, 50c., Appleton, New York.]

 A novel obviously inspired by other novelists, more particularly Meredith. Broke is an egoist, 
 in whom pride of race is developed to the verge of insanity, and who remains impassible, 
 unflinching, under blows to his filial love almost as terrible as Lear's. Most of the characters 
 are mere theorems, but slangy old Lord Bosket is a real humourist. [6s., Constable.]

 Successive volumes of random sketches and anecdotes of squireens and sportsmen, servants, 
 
 agents, peasants, and many other Irish types, the incidents illustrating the adventures and 
 misadventures of country-house life, the hunting-field, village quarrels, and so on. The 
 realism is of the natural, unstudied kind, and we have no more accurate reproduction of

 Ufe and character, the Mohammedan soldier, the Hindu usurer, the barbarous Pathan, 
 etc. [6s., Heinemann.]

 The Second Story, At the Grand Durbar, The Blue-throated God, and Glory of Woman may be

 intimate knowledge of the inner life and thought of the native races. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Voices in the Night. 1900 
 
 The plot matters are the good and evil fortunes of a young Englishman in the Indian Civil 
 Service, and his love for a very modem governess. Striking studies of native life, de-

 soldiers and natives, and other political and social problems. [6s., 2s., Heinemann ;

 — The Hosts of the Lord. 1900 
 
 A romance centring in an old dynastic city, and dealing with the problem of " the mutual 
 assimilation of East and West without injury to either." The interests and characters are 
 multitudinous ; Indians, Anglo-Indians, and people of mixed blood, soldiers, civil officials, 
 missionaries (both Protestant and Roman Catholic), and natives of all grades and con- 
 ditions are involved in the complex action, the central theme being the ill-starred love 
 of an Englishman for a half-IteJian Begum, which brings him into collision with a turbulent 
 young Mohammedan. [6s., 2S., Heinemann ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.]

 cow ; The Perfume of the Rose, an ill-favoured native's devotion in the Mutiny ; and 
 The Reformer's Wife, sketching an aristocratic Hindu with Western ideals. [6s., Heine-

 A Prince of Dreamers. 1908 
 
 A very thoroughgoing study of Akbar, the Great Mogul, and his ideals for the regeneration 
 
 of the world. Mrs. Steel's intimate acquaintance with all the native types, and their creeds 
 and religious feelings, enables her to enter fuUy into the mystical side of Akbar's work 
 and aspirations, and to portray the multitudinous life of the period (contemporary with 
 Elizabeth) with the realism exemplified in her modern stories of India. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 $1.25, Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 The Gift of the Gods. 1911 
 
 A love-tale of an Hebridean island, incidenttdly throwing light on the crofter problem. [2s. n.,

 In the guise of a novel. Miss Steuart relates the history of a family living in a change-house 
 near Stirhng, where Jacobites and adherents of King George meet and talk pohtics. 
 The affairs of both the '15 and the '45 are dealt with from this point of view, and 
 the real condition of the people has a good deal of light thrown on it. [5s., Elliot,

 A strong Temperance novel, and a study of life among the London poor. Account of a family 
 who made their money by the sale of drink, and of one of its members whose conscience

 Stevens, Miss E. S. [Ethel Stefana]. The Veil ; a Romance of Tunisia. 1909 
 A romantic novel about Sicilian, Arab, and French people in Tunis and the sacred city of 
 Kairouan, pivoting on a threatened Arab insurrection ; but of most importance as an 
 attempt to penetrate the mysterious character of the Arab and the profundity of his 
 racial and religious antipathy to the European. The fascination of the things behind the 
 Veil is finely realized ; and Si Ismael, the revolutionary dreamer, and the dancer Mabrouka 
 are picturesque exponents of the strange reactions set up by the clash of East and West.

 selected by his friend. 1894 
 
 A clever piece of ironical story-telling. A mock-heroic portrait of the fin-de-si^cle young man,

 a tale of love and tragedy, with a good deal of sensation, and some gruesome scenes. The 
 author is a lover of the lonely moorlands of Yorkshire, and their wild, beautiful, and solemn 
 aspects are reflected in every chapter. The Bronte neighbourhood of forty years ago is 
 largely dealt with, and the dialect utilized. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Through Sorrow's Gates : a tale of the Lonely Heath [sequel']. 1904 
 
 The best part of this author's work is the close and enthusiastic description of the Ufe of the 
 moors in the West Riding ; in the love-story and the tragic business he simply waUows in 
 sentiment. Griff, the conqueror of the heath, and his intake are a somewhat fine im- 
 personation of mankind's long struggle vrith the sterile forces of nature, but the pathetic 
 fallacy is ridden rather hard throughout. [6s., 3s. 6d., Unwin.]

 A sinister and miserable drama played out by a number of decadent characters at an earl's

 191 1 
 The strength of this rather rambhng story, some of which is rather weakly conventional, is 
 in the skill with which the dialect is rendered and the racy humour of the rustic sayings,

 out their native shrewdness and ineradicable superstitions. The suspicions of witchcraft

 A romance of Court life and political intrigue in an imaginary Balkan state, somewhat of the

 [6s., Bentley : o.p. ; ?i, Holt, New York.] 
 
 The Romance of Judge Ketchum. 1896 
 
 About one-third is the fashionable English Society novel of love and intrigue, the rest a melo- 
 dramatic story of rough life in a Californian settlement. Here Judge Ketchum comes on 
 the scene — a hard-headed Yankee with keen knowledge of human nature, whose ignorance 
 and simplicity are as diverting as his broad humour. He turns out to be the heir to an 
 English peerage. [6s., Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 A Drama in Sunshine. 1898 
 
 A romance of the land boom in California. A strenuous. Yankee lawyer successfully booms 
 an estate, and is quickly on his way to fortune. But he has married a half-Spanish girl, 
 who loves him ardently ; and conflict arises between his ambition and her jealousy. 
 Violent scenes of murder and vengeance result from the inflamed passions of dispossessed 
 Irish squatters ; indeed the whole story is essentially a tragedy, though an unexpected 
 stroke in the last sentence averts a sad ending. [6s., Macmillan ; $1 n., Fenno, New York.]

 Brothers : the True History of a Fight against Odds. 1904 
 
 Begins with an extremely vivid and affectionate account of boy life at Harrow, and the doings 
 of the two brothers, their particular chum, and an enchanting little girl. The seriousness 
 comes on, however, in the sequel as the two brothers grow into men, the one empty, 
 showy and successful ; the other a most loving and lovable nature, sacrificing all to his 
 idoUzed brother. Certain of the portraits are declared to be true to fact. [6s., Murray ; 
 $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Hill : a Romance of Friendship. 1905 
 
 A Harrow story, suggested by Mr. G. W. E. Russell after reading Brothers, and one of the most 
 natural in its presentment of the ways, and talk, and the very thoughts of healthy boy- 
 hood. The theme of a boy's worship for another who seems to have little response is 
 worked out with fine insight and pathos. [6s., Murray ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 John Verney [sequel]. 1911

PRESENT DAY 
 
 ViZETELLY, Ernest Alfred [6. 1853]. A Path of Thorns. 1901 
 
 A lengthy and rather conventional story of an orphan girl who proves to be a rich nobleman's 
 daughter. The characters and scenery are French, and show the author's familiarity 
 with Continental life. [6s., Chatto.] 
 
 A Lover's Progress told by Himself. 1901 
 
 [3s. 6d., Chatto ; $1.50, Brentano, New York.] 
 
 VoYNiCH, Mrs. Ethel Lillian [nee Boole, b. 1864]. The Gadfly. 1898 
 
 The writer's object seems to be to show a strong, passionate, magnanimous character driven 
 by wrong and contumely into atheism. The scene is young Italy before the Revolution 
 (1833-46) : and the characters comprehend patriots, conspirators, assassins, in their 
 struggle with Austrian authorities, spies and ecclesiastics. The Gadfly, unacknowledged 
 son of a priest, in his onslaught on religion and authority, ultimately comes into collision 
 with his own father, now a famous cardinal. The tragic story ends in agony unlit by any 
 gleam of hope or reconciliation. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.25, Holt, New York ; 50c., Fenno, 
 New York.] 
 
 An Interrupted Friendship [sequel]. 1910 
 
 Clears up a hiatus in the history of the Gadfly by relating his adventures in Ecuador (1838-41), 
 It is a tragic story, the tragedy accentuated by the sombre humour ; the character-drawing 
 incisive as ever. [6s., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Jack Raymond. 1901 
 
 The strongest section of this thoughtful novel deals with the boyhood of the orphan Jack 
 Raymond, passed under the guardianship of a Cornish vicar, in whom cruelty has become 
 a sort of mania. [6s., Heinemann; $1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Olive Latham. 1904 , 
 
 [is. n., Heinemann.] 
 
 " Wakeman, Annie." The Autobiography of a Charwoman. 1900 
 
 Purports to be the actual life of a poor woman, merely translated into a literary form. The 
 characteristic note is cheery acceptance of the world's hardships, of which she endures 
 a woeful share in her lover's desertion and the brutality of her legal husband. [6s., 
 Macqueen: o.p. ; 6d., Routledge ; $1.50, Page, Boston.] 
 
 Walford, Lucy Bethia [nee Colquhoun ; b. 1845]. Mr. Smith. 1874 
 
 The comedy of social intercourse in a village and its neighbourhood, bestirred by the advent 
 of a wealthy stranger whom the vulgar genteel are in doubt whether or not to receive. 
 This simple-minded and modest gentleman is also the principal figure in the love-drama. 
 Contains a variety of studies of human nature, and teaches an edifying lesson. [2s. 6d.. 
 (|i), Longman, New York.] 
 
 Pauline. 1877 
 
 Also didactic, showing how a man's love for a good woman is not sufficient to keep his un- 
 disciplined nature in the path of rectitude. Pauline is a refined, saintly, and religious 
 character, whose love for the sinner gives deep pathos to some of the scenes. Minor 
 characters like Pauline's aunts with their petty vanities furnish amusement. [2s. 6d. 
 ($1), Longman, New York.] 
 
 The Baby's Grandmother. 1884 
 
 AJtouching domestic story, with a happy ending ; lengthy, chiefly taken up with very familiar 
 portraiture of a dozen characters, grouped round one beautiful woman. [2s. 6d. (?i), 
 Longman, New York.] 
 
 A Stiff-Necked Generation. 1885 
 
 A tragi-comedy of match-making and courtship ; the primary situation arising from a girl's

 vulgar-minded soldier, whom she has idealized into a hero. [2s. 6d. ($1), Longman, New

 One of Ourselves. 1900 
 
 A domestic comedy, embracing a number of vivacious characters. The self-complacent and 
 consequential Mrs. Tom Farrell is the chief, head of a family outside of which she thinks

 " Billy." The natura and unconventional Miss Colvins are good examples of the writer's

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Ward, Mrs. J. Humphry [Mary Augusta, nee Arnold ; h. 1851]. Robert Elsmere. 1888 
 The most painful side of the spiritual conflict between faith and Agnosticism set forth in the 
 life and love of a clergyman, who ultimately leaves the church. Describes his home educa- 
 tion and Oxford career, where he is influenced by various philosophical tutors (Mr. Grey 
 is Prof. T. H. Green), and the sharper struggle when he becomes rector of a parish, and 
 tragedy is added by growing estrangement from his evangehcal wife. The psychological 
 analysis is very minute ; the criticism inspired by older German theorists. Preaches a 
 Christianity purified of supernatural accretions. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; |i, Macmillan, 
 New York.] 
 
 The History of David Grieve. 1892 
 
 A study of reUgious and sociological problems rather than a true novel. David's relations to 
 
 two women illustrate the pros and cons of lawful marriage and free union ; his mental 
 history — revivalism, secularism. Socialism, and communism — opens up the broadest 
 questions of the relation between man and man, and between man and God ; he ends as 
 an ardent Theist or Unitarian. The wild surroundings of a moorland farm in northern 
 Derbyshire and the savage recesses of Kinderscout are brilliantly depicted. [6s., 2s. 6d., 
 Smith & Elder ; ?i, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Marcella. 1894 
 
 At once a kind of inductive study of modern political and social ideas in their reactions upon 
 
 character, and a love-novel. Marcella is an able and accomplished woman who desires 
 above all things to be of use, and at first believes the regeneration of the world is to be 
 effected by means of SociaUsnvand the sweeping away of plutocratic institutions. In this 
 first act of her history she comes under the influence of a political charlatan advocating 
 Socialism, and of a solid young nobleman of Liberal principles. Ultimately she learns by 
 experience that doctrines are of less importance than character and personal action, and 
 doubts whether the social order can be overset for the good of humanity. Dramatic scenes 
 illustrate the game laws, agrarian distress, the struggles of slum-workers in London, after 
 the manner of Kingsley's Yeast. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; §1, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Sir George Tressady [sequel]. 1896 
 
 Continues the development of Marcella, and deals with a young politician, Tressady, in the 
 same minute way. Tressady belongs to the opposition, and the cardinal incident is Mar- 
 cella's successful attempt, at a critical moment, to win his vote for her husband's party. 
 Too late she finds he is in love with her, and remorse urges her to atone, by her self-devo- 
 tion, for the involuntary wrong to her husband and to Tressady's selfish and empty wife. 
 The pseudo-hero's death is tragic. [6s., Smith & Elder; $1.25, Macmillan, New York, 
 50C., Grosset, New York.] 
 
 The Story of Bessie Costrell. 1895 
 
 A cottage tragedy in five brief acts, in which the author makes effective use of the close 
 
 knowledge of humble country people of which she had shown gUmpses in Marcella and 
 elsewhere. A flighty woman is. tempted to take from the hoard of a thrifty old labourer, 
 and borrows beyond possibiUty of repayment. In the crucial scene she is confronted by 
 her Puritan husband, the labourer who had trusted her and now sees himself left to chance 
 mercies, and the neighbours who make themselves her judges ; and she commits suicide 
 [2s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Helbeck of Bannisdale. 1898 
 
 The tragic loves of a devout Roman Catholic and an Agnostic girl. Like the foregoing, a tale 
 of character and of passion, complicated by problems of thought. Both sides of the con- 
 troversy are treated with sympathy ; Helbeck is a man of the noblest nature, and Roman 
 dogmas, rites, and social agencies are carefully described. A feeling for nature is a vital 
 trait in the heroine's character, and the scenery of the dales and fells between the Lake 
 mountains and the sea plays a strong emotional part. The iron foundries at Barrow figure in 
 one episode of overwhelming pathos. [6s., Smith & Elder; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Eleanor. 1900 
 
 A more emotional story than the earlier : though the political and social life of modern Italy is 
 studied minutely, the main interest lies in the drama of passion, two women of fine character 
 loving the hero, a literary man of high intellectual gifts. An affecting story, culminating 
 in a scene of tragic renunciation. The minor personages comprise many representatives 
 of the ideas, forces, and tendencies working for change in Italy, especially of the antagonism 
 between the Papacy and the Italy of Garibaldi and Cavour. [6s., Smith & Elder ; $1.50, 
 Harper, New York.] 
 
 370 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Ward, Mrs. J. Humphry [continued). — Lady Rose's Daughter. 1903 
 
 Less a tendency novel, like the foregoing, than a novel of manners. The story of Lady H. 
 Delafield and Julie Le Breton corresponds (save in the denouement) with the famous 
 episode of Mme. du Deffand and Mile, de Lespinasse (see Ste.-Beuve's Causeries du 
 Lundi). Several soldiers, statesmen, and other celebrities appear to be sketched in the 
 characters. [6s., Smith & Elder; $1.50, Harper, Nevjr York.] 
 
 The Marriage of William Ashe. 1905 
 
 An adaptation of the story of William Lamb (afterwards Lord Melbourne), Lady Caroline 
 Lamb, and Lord Byron, to the circumstances of a time two generations later. [6s., Smith 
 & Elder; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Fenwick's Career. 1906 
 
 A similar handling of the lives of George Romney and Benjamin Haydon, the painters, with 
 one of Mrs. Humphry Ward's finest characters in the beautiful Eugenie de PastoureUes, 
 on whom the love-tragedy hinges. [6s., Smith & Elder; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Diana Mallory. 1908 
 
 A love-drama played out in the sphere of high Society and politics which Mrs. Humphry 
 Ward habitually selects, the heroine a blameless and beautiful girl whose mother died 
 under the stigma of murder. The story is, as usual, rather too heavily loaded with 
 ethical problems and edifying solutions to be a perfect work of art. [6s., Smith & Elder ; 
 sub tit. The Testing of Diana Mallory, $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Daphne ; or, Marriage a la Mode. ^909 
 
 An arraignment of the American attitude to marriage and divorce, and a picture of smart 
 society in the States that is anything but agreeable. [6s., Cassell ; sub tit., Marriage d, la 
 Mode, ?i.2o, Doubleday, New York; 50c., Burt, New York.] 
 
 The Case of Richard Meynell. 1911 
 
 A sequel to Robert Elsmere, Meynell, the Modernist rector of a country parish, marrying 
 Elsmere's daughter. The history of Meynell's efforts to reform the Church from within, 
 on the lines of a new Protestant reformation, and of the opposition he meets with from an 
 orthodox squire, is mixed up with a scandal connected with his ward, this unfair attempt 
 to discredit him being utilized to enlist the reader's sympathies with his intellectual 
 conflict. [6s., Smith & Elder; $1.35 n., Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 Ward, Mrs. Wilfred Philip [Josephine Mary, nee Hope-Scott ; h. 1864]. One Poor 
 Scruple. 1899 
 
 A study on the question of marriage with a divorci, including an intimate delineation of iloman 
 Catholic life and ideas, with portraiture of women characters. [6s. ($1.50), Longman.] 
 
 The Light Behind. 1903 
 
 Out of Due Time. 1906 
 
 Great Possessions. 1909 
 
 Further studies of the problems of life confronting the modem Catholic. Mrs. Wilfred Ward's 
 handling of intellectual positions and analysis of character put her in the same class of 
 novelist as her namesake, Mrs. Humphry Ward, [(i) 6s. ($1.50), Lane ; (2) 6s. ($1.50), 
 Longman; (3) 6s., Longman; sub tit. House of Mirth, $1.35, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 The Job Secretary : an Impression. 1911 
 
 The Job Secretary — a lady typist — comes to help a novelist, and the result is a strange 
 incursion of real life into art, and, reciprocally, of artistic insight into a problem of real 
 life. [4s. 6d. ($1.20 n.), Longman.] 
 
 Warde, Evelyn B. Elena. 1910 
 
 leading characters are Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia, both well studied (1492-1507). [6s.,

 Amazing adventures and exploits of the Earl of Cherwell, who defends a lady's honour against 
 the Duke of York's designs, and is engaged in "the Rising at Taunton in 1684." The 
 diction modelled on the contemporary style. Depicts the corrupt and brilliant life of the 
 Court. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Chloris of the Island. 1900 
 
 A sensational romance of the period 1800-10. The indomitable hero fights single-handed 
 against a lawless Irish family, who live in an island stronghold off the Cornish coast, and 
 have dealings with Napoleon. The plot is complicated by his love affair with the daughter. 
 [6s. {$1.50), Harper.] 
 
 The Skirts of Happy Chance. 1901 
 
 Nine very slight, but clever and fantastic stories of the adventures of a rich young nobleman — 
 a philanderer and a scamp, with a gift for impersonation. [6s., is. n., Methuen.]

 An entertaining story of social life in 1732. [6s. ($1.50), Harper.]

 — Hurricane Island. 1904 
 [3s. 6d., Pitman ; $1.50, Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 — Twisted Eglantine. 1905 
 
 Perhaps his best story ; certainly contains his best character — the gorgeous and invincible 
 beau, with his alternate selfishness and generosity. Restores fehcitously the Regency 
 days (c. 1809-20). [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.]

 Watson, ]VIargaret. Driven. 1905 
 
 The desperate struggle for life in the west country before the repeal of the Corn Laws. Ap- 
 parently a novel of purpose, and in that sense not unsuccessful. [6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Watts-Dunton, Theodore {h. 1832]. Aylwin. 1898 
 
 First edn. 1 898, but written fourteen years earlier. The idea of the plot of this and The Coming 
 of Love is love at war with death, and in both novel and poem the author contends that 
 man, faced by the mysteries of fate, can but believe in the survival of the being he passion- 
 ately loves. " The renascence of wonder," as he puts it, gives the novel a deeply poetical 
 character, which is intensified by the beauty of the Snowdon chapters and the word- 
 painting of coast scenery. Among the notable men portrayed are Rossetti, William 
 Morris, Smetham, J. A. Symonds, James Orlando Watts, Alfred Eugene Watts, and others. 
 Hurstcote is Kelmscott Manor. The gipsy heroine Sinfi is drawn from life, and the auto- 
 biographical significance of the story is patent. The action ranges from the humorous 
 comedy of Mrs. Gudgeon to the deepest pathos and thrilUng intervals of tragic suspense, 
 ending in a scene of ideal reconciliation. [6s., Hurst ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Wedgwood, A. F. The Shadow of a Titan. 1910 
 
 Miscellaneous in matter, the middle part dealing with S. American incidents and the rest with 
 England. Remarkable for the knowledge displayed of practical affairs as well as of 
 hterature and science, and for the style. The S. American chapters have been compared 
 with Hudson and Cuniunghame Graham's studies, and favourably. [6s., Duckworth ; 
 $1.50, Lane, New York.] 
 
 Wedmore, Sir Frederick [6. 1844]. Pastorals of France. 1877 
 
 A Last Love at Pornic, Yvonne of Croisic, The Four Bells of Chartres. Subtle and delicate 
 Uttle studies -of sentiment and emotion, by a connoisseur of the mind as well as of art. 
 The motive in the first is an elderly man's love for a girl who would probably accept 
 him, and his conscientious awakening to the probable wrong he would commit — a theme 
 treated again in The Vicar of Pimlico (see below). Yvonne is a melancholy little piece, 
 rendering picturesquely the sense of utter solitude and remoteness of Croisic and its people. 
 [3s. 6d. n., Mathews ; $2, Scribner, New York.]

 Wedmore, Sir Frederick {continued). — Renunciations. 1893

 A psychological narrative of the downward career and tragic end of a woman, who, a taleated 
 musician, and born a bohemian, is intolerant of the bondage of commonplace wedlock. 
 A flabby and egoistic literary man, who shrinks from the overt crime of betraying her, is 
 morally the agent of her ruin. Full of a connoisseur's obiter dicta on music, architecture, 
 and bric-A-brac. [3s. 6d., Hutchinson.] 
 
 Wells, Herbert George [6. 1866]. Select Conversations with an Uncle. 1895

 $1.50, 25c., Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 — — The Island of Dr. Moreau. 1896

 semblance of human beings. [3s. 6d., Heinemann ; 50c. n.. Stone, Chicago.] 
 
 The Plattner Story ; and Others. 1897 
 
 [3s. 6d., Methuen.] 
 
 The Invisible Man ; a Grotesque Romance. 1897 
 
 A scientist discovers a means to make himself invisible. The tremendous powers he thus 
 acquires are, nevertheless, counterbalanced by unexpected disabilities. His first adven- 
 tures are absurdly comic ; but the invisible man is driven at length to become a terror 
 to his kind, and his last stage is a gruesome tragedy. [3s. 6d., Methuen; Ji, Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 The War of the Worlds. 1898 
 
 The inhabitants of Mars, a loathsome though highly organized race, invade England, and by 
 their command of superior weapons subdue and prey on the people. Cleverly parodied 
 in The War of the Wenuses, by C. L. Graves and E. V. Lucas (is., Arrowsmith, Bristol, 
 1898). [3s. 6d., Heinemann ; |;75C., Harper, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Wells, Herbert George {continued). — ^When the Sleeper Wakes. 1899 
 
 A prophetic fantasia picturing London in a.d. 2100. A picture of topsy-turvy institutions 
 and humanity metamorphosed, socially and morally, very much for the worse. [6s. 
 ($1-50), Harper.] 
 
 Tales of Space and Time. 1899 
 
 Miscellaneous stories of the far future and the far past, for example, A Story of the Stone Age 
 and A Story of the Days to Come. The Star describes the feelings of terrified humanity on 
 the approach of a new star. Like the author's other fantasies, these contain a good deal 
 of serious speculation on the future of mankind, and criticism of society. [6s., Harper ; 
 J1.50, Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 Love and Mr. Lewisham. 1900 
 
 Like The Wheels of Chance, a study of the life of very ordinary and commonplace people. 
 Mr. Lewisham is a schoolmaster and a student who spoils his plans for advancement by 
 falling in love, and ruins his literary and Socialist ambitions by getting married. [6s., 
 Harper; 1 1.50, Stokes, New York.] 
 
 The First Men in the Moon. 1901 
 
 Making one bold postulate, the discovery of a substance that resists gravity, the author depicts, 
 with gruesome imagination, yet plausible scientific analogy, the moon and its plants and 
 inhabitants. [3s. 6d., Macmillan ; $1.50, Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis.] 
 
 The Sea Lady : a Tissue of Moonshine. 1902 
 
 The visitant from the " Great Outside," who in this novel turns mundane things topsy- 
 turvy, with absurd consequences, is a mermaid who comes ashore among a battung-party 
 at Sandgate. The comedy has its serious side in the criticism of our common and ignoble 
 ideals from a far other point of view. [6s., Methuen ; $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Twelve Stories and a Dream. 1903 
 
 Contains The Country of the Blind and one or two other stories which rank among the finest 
 short stories in English. [3s. 6d., Macmillan ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Food of the Gods. 1904 
 
 The food is discovered by two a priori scientists, and every man or animal that eats of it 
 grows to the size of a giant, with amusing consequences. [3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Kipps : the Story of a Simple Soul. 1905 
 
 The comedy of class instincts. Mr. Kipps is a vulgar little draper's assistant who comes in for 
 money and is taken up by a clique of cultured people. Their 'attempts to exploit and 
 refine him are related with neat satire ; but the best of the humour is in Kipps himself, 
 who is immensely reHeved when he loses the fortune and subsides into his proper niche 
 [3s. 6d., Macmillan ; $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 — In the Days of the Comet. 1906 
 
 A strange love-story, the girl loved by a middle-class Enghshman eloping with another man 
 at the moment when the earth's atmosphere and the conditions of life on this planet 
 are changed by the passage of a. comet. Men's nature is regenerated, the human brother- 
 hood has come, and Mr. Wells brings out again the vast gulf between society of to-day 
 and our ideals. [6s., Macmillan ; $1.50, Century Co., New York.] 
 
 — The War in the Air ; and particularly how Mr. Bert Smallways fared while 
 
 it lasted. 1908 
 
 Here a cataclysmal war is the world-event that opens our eyes to fundamental realities, 
 [6s., 2S. n.. Bell ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 — Ann Veronica: a Modem Love Story. 1909 
 
 Latest version of the " Woman who Did." Ann Veronica, whose impulses and perplexities are 
 acutely analysed, escapes the penalty of her daring, the lover being set free to marry her 
 respectably and winning an unexpected income as a playwright. Pungent satire of the 
 Suffragettes and their male acolytes, some of whom are easily identified. [6s., Unwin ; 
 $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 375 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Wells, Herbert George (cowimweif).— Tono-Bungay. 1909 
 
 Mr. Wells's One of Our Conquerors, but the conqueror is simply a commonplace man with an 
 instinct for gauging the folly and trading on the gullibility of a nation besotted with 
 advertizing frauds. Tono-Bungay is the worthless patent medicine by which 'he makes 
 his fortune, and which modifies the life and character of the young man who is the real 
 subject of the novel. A number of modern people are anatomized and social diseases 
 exposed. [6s., Macmillan ; $1.50, Duf&eld, New York.] 
 
 The History of Mr. Polly. 1910 
 
 An unsuccessful draper in a country town bums down his house and finds happiness, first as 
 a tramp, and then as potman at an inn. [2s. n.. Nelson ; $1.50, Duffield, New York.] 
 
 The New MachiaveUi. 1910 
 
 A pamphleteering study of political and sociological creeds at the present day, in the guise of 
 a biographical novel, the hero of which gets involved in irregular relations with a young 
 lady, and wrecks his career as an epoch-making M.P. Remington is bom and bred at 
 Bromstead, Kent ; Mr. Wells's birthplace was Bromley, Kent. A number of Fabians and 
 other living people are very thinly caricatured. In Ann Veronica and The New MachiaveUi, 
 and to some extent also in Tono-Bungay, Mr. Wells may seem to hasty critics to be 
 assailing the institution of marriage, or at any rate to be singing the praises of free love 
 and the sanctity of passion. His later novel. Marriage [6s., Macmillan, 1912], is a re- 
 cantation, if such were needed, as it illustrates in a very human way the mutual com- 
 promises, the 'give and take, the growth of deeper sympathy, by which a happy marriage 
 union is ultimately built up. It is risky, in short, to imagine that Mr. Wells is always 
 preaching, or to pin our faith to this or that story as his final summing up of the sexual 
 or the social problem. [6S., Lane ; $1.35 n., Duffield, New York.] 
 
 The Country of the Blind ; and other Stories. 1911 
 
 Twenty-eight of what Mr. Wells regards as his best short stories — a few appearing here for 
 the first time. All may be characterized as concise illustrations of the social and artistic 
 principles exemplified by the novels — criticisms of life from the standpoint of miraculous 
 conditions that force us back to the elements of things. The four which rise artistically 
 and philosophically high above the rest are, the title-story, The Door in the Wall, The 
 Beautiful Suit, and The Magic Shop. [2s. n.. Nelson.] 
 
 Wemyss, Mrs. George. The Professional Aunt. 1910 
 
 People of Popham. 1911 
 
 Both in the Cranford manner. Filled with pleasant characters from village life, handsome 
 lovers, nice girls, engaging children — the last drawn with some sentimental pathos. 
 Stories are of the rambling sort, dwelhng on such things as Mary Howard's humanizing 
 influence on the people of Popham, and bringing in some little farce. Many sayings that 
 are worth treasuring, [(i) 5s., Constable; $1. n., Houghton, Bbston; (2) 6s., Constable; 
 $1.20 n., Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Wentworth, Miss Patricia. A Marriage under the Terror. 1910 
 
 Won the 250 guinea prize in a " first-novel " competition. The heroine marries a revolutionary 
 who loves her, to escape the guillotine, and the pair are brought together after thrilling 
 adventures. Gives excellent pictures of the aristocrats mewed up in the dungeons, 
 and of the murderous trials before Fouquier-Tinville. Danton, Robespierre, Marat, 
 Hubert, and others make their appearance. [6s., Melrose ; ?i.35 n., Putnam, New 
 York.] 
 
 Werner, Miss. Alice [b. 1859]. The Captain of the Locusts. 1899 
 
 Stories of European and native life in Zambesi and Natal by a lady who spent three years in 
 the country. [2s., is. 6d., Unwin.] 
 
 Chapenga's White Man : a Story of Central Africa. 1901 
 
 A careful study of the growth of a little savage from . Central Africa into a capable and 
 trustworthy man. The tale is somewhat goody, but Chapenga is a real character, 
 and whether as scapegrace or as a reformed young man engages sympathy. [3s. 6d., 
 Chatto.] 
 
 376 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 West, Marj'. Allegra. 1887 
 
 A girl's romance, interwoven with the abortive insurrections and the struggle of Italian 
 patriots agcunst Austria, from 1848 to 1859. [2 vols., 21s., Unwin : o.p.] 
 
 A Bom Pla5'er. 1893 
 
 A Nonconformist minister of great gifts, in spite of a determined effort to resist his natural 
 bent for the stage, becomes an actor, and suffers untimely death on the eve of success. 
 [6s., MacmiUan : o.p.] 
 
 Weston, Miss Jessie Laidlay. The Soul of the Countess. 1900 
 
 Fairy-tales and the like by a well-known writer on comparative mythology. The title-story is 
 a variation on the Undine motive ; Our Lady of the Forest is a supernatural tale of Crusading 
 days ; and The Last Valkyr exploits the field of Scandinavian mythology. [3s. 6d. n., 
 Nutt,] 
 
 Weyman, Stanley John [&. 1855]. The House of the 'Wolf. 1890 
 
 A swashbuckler romance, dealing with the massacre of St. Bartholomew (1572). A grim and 
 pitiless giant woos the beloved of a Huguenot, and seeks his life. [3s. 6d. ($1.25), Pocket 
 edn., 2S. n. (75c. n.), Longman.] 
 
 The New Rector. 1891 
 
 [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder, is. n., Hodder ; $1.25, Buckles, New York.] 
 — The Story of Francis Cludde. 
 
 Aromance, in Dumas' style, of the times of Bloody Mary (1555-8). A sturdy young Protestant, 
 slow-tongued but quick to act, tired of persecution, goes forth to win fame by a career of 
 adventure. [3s. 6d., is. n., Cassell ; $1.25, Longman, New York.] 
 
 — A Gentleman of France. 1893 
 
 An excellent specimen of Mr. Weyman's historical fiction; the hero is a Huguenot Breton 
 (1588-9), one of Coude's veterans, flouted for his poverty and mean appearance by the 
 courtiers. But in an important and delicate commission he acquits himself so valiantly 
 that he wins the love of his beautiful charge, a noble kinswoman of Turenne. The writer's 
 knowledge and accuracy, his careful reproduction of historical atmosphere, and his gifts 
 as a story-teller, are nowhere better illustrated. [6s. (I1.25), Longman.] 
 
 — Under the Red Robe. 1894 
 
 A similar novel dealing with Beam about 1635. An adventurer of clouded reputation is 
 sent on a treacherous mission by Richelieu, but falls in love with the sister of ■She man he 
 has to betray. He redeems his character by liberating the prisoner and giving himself 
 up to the Cardinal. [6s., is. n., Methuen ; $1.25, Longman, New York.] 
 
 — The Man in Black. 1894 
 
 A brief and workmanlike story of adventure and intrigue in Louis XIII's time (1637) . [3s. 6d., 
 Cassell ; %i, Longman, New York.]j 
 
 — My Lady Rotha. 1894 
 
 Opens in Thuringia during the Thirty Years' War (1632), the love-story of the Countess 
 Rotha is of secondary interest to the descriptions of strife and adventure that illustrate the 
 devastation and demoralization of Germany overrun by mercenaries and thieves. [2s. n.. 
 Ward & Lock ; $1.25, Longman, New York.] 
 
 — From the Memoirs of a Minister of France. 1895 
 
 Henry of Navarre (c. 1598-1610). [3s. 6d., is. u., Cassell ; $1.25, Longman, New York.] 
 
 — The Red Cockade. 1895 
 
 Adventures during the French Revolution, related by an aristocrat in sympathy with the 
 people. Scene, Cahors and Nimes (1789-93). [6s. ($1.50), Longman. 
 
 377 
 
ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Weyman, Stanley John {continued). — Shrewsbury. 1898 
 
 Deals witii the inner history of Sir John Fenwick's Jacobite plot, and with other incidents 
 of the English Revolution and the subsequent years (1688-1713). Many of the characters 
 are cowards, bullies, and scoundrels, e.g. Robert Ferguson, " the Plotter," and the informer 
 Matt Smith ; but the famous Duke of Shrewsbury is more attractively portrayed. [6s. 
 (Si. 50), Longman.] 
 
 The Castle Inn. 1898 
 
 A tale of society and manners at Marlborough in the last days of Chatham, with descriptions 
 of an abduction, a rescue, and other episodes of travelling during the period (1767). [6s., 
 Smith & Elder ; $1.50, Longman, New York.] 
 
 Sophia. 1900 
 
 Intrigue and social comedy in 1 742 . The wayward hoyden Sophia is nearly ruined at the hands 
 
 of an Irish adventurer, and saved by the hero, another of the author's middle-aged gentle- 
 men who, after many vicissitudes, win the heroine's love by sheer force of integrity and 
 courage. The chapter " King Smallpox " shows true dramatic power. [6s. (f 1.50), 
 Longman.] 
 
 Count Hannibal : a Romance of the Court of France. 1901 
 
 Very similar to the foregoing ; ingenious and exciting as a story, not of much account as 
 drawing of character. The massacre of St. Bartholomew (1572) is the central historical 
 episode, and the manners and atmosphere of contemporary France are vividly reproduced. 
 Count Hannibal is another of the somewhat unprepossessing heroes ; his bravery and 
 magnanimity are supposed to atone for his violence and passion in the estimation of his 
 lady-love^and of the reader. [6s., Smith & Elder ; $1.50, Longman, New York.] 
 
 In Kings' Byways : Short Stories. • 1902 
 
 The struggles of the League and the Huguenots, the Duke of Guise, Cardinal Mazarin, and 
 similar historical subjects, dealt with in the usual fashion. [6s., Smith & Elder ; $1.50, 
 Longman, New York.] 
 
 The Long Night. 1903 
 
 A romance of 1602—6, culminating in the famous Escalade, when D'Aubigne's Savoyards 
 attempted to capture Geneva in time of peace. More character-drawing than usual : 
 the Machiavellian Basterga and the treacherous syndic, bribed by the elixir vitae, are 
 subtle creations — the latter a departure from history, for Blondel was an honest man. 
 [6s., Longman ; $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 The Abbess of Vlaye. 1904 
 
 France at the end of the sixteenth century, the plot hingeing on the reduction of one of the 
 last strongholds of revolt, Vlaye, when Henry IV has all but accomplished the settlement 
 of the kingdom. [6s., Longman ; ?i.50, Longman, New York; 50c., Burt, New York.] 
 
 Starvecrow Farm. 1905 
 
 Touches on the industrial agitation after the Great War, the Peterloo massacre and the Cato 
 Street conspiracy (1819). But the adventures of the indiscreet and unfortunate heroine 
 have little to do with history. [6s., Hutchinson ; $1.50, Longman, New York.] 
 
 Chippinge. 1906 
 
 Story of a reformer, a rather wrong-headed young man under a cloud, who, like so many of 
 Mr. Weyman's heroes, wins approval by his conduct in a trying emergency. Time of the 
 second Reform Bill (1831), Brougham, Wetherell, etc. Scenes, Malmesbury and Bristol, 
 where the riots make a striking episode. [6s., Smith & Elder ; sub tit. Chippinge Borough, 
 $1.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 Laid up in Lavender. 1907 
 
 The Wild Geese. 1909 
 
 A novel of Kerry and an abortive rising (c. 1715), the chief figure a loyal Colonial, who meets 
 with many exciting adventures. Irish critics do not accept the historical presentment of 
 the times. [6s., 2s. n., Hodder ; $1.50, Doubleday, New York.]

 the woman who becomes the hero's wife, and there is bitter enmity between them. Brings 
 
 in Ivan's commercial relations with England, and the acquisition of Siberia (1544-84).

 Roman Catholicism, actually attained the crown of the Tsars, but was murdered by the 
 Boyars. Mr. Whishaw has written a large number of readable romances of Russian

 Bequeathed. 1900 
 
 Quiet domestic fiction and studies of womanhood, inspired by elevated ideals of conduct 
 and of personal relations. In the second, an immaculate wife bequeaths a daughter to

 White, William Hale [" Mark Rutherford," alias " Reuben Shapcott "]. The 
 Autobiography of Mark Rutherford. 1881 
 
 A sombre, thoughtful book — ^the history of a doubter, who has a strain of Bunyan's morbid 
 self-consciousness. Beginning as an Independent minister in the eastern midlands, he 
 passes through phases of Unitarianism to a vague theism, and finally to Agnosticism. 
 The history of each conversion is fully narrated in the light of the various forces acting 
 on his mind ; the episode of Wordsworthian nature-worship being, for example, described 
 with great feeling. The indictment of the worldliness of Dissenters of half a century 
 ago is severe, and obviously founded on personal experience. [3s. 6d., is. n., Unwin; $1, 
 Cassell, New York: with Mark Rutherford's Deliverance, $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Mark Rutherford's Deliverance [sequel^. 1885 
 
 A narrative as rambUng as the former, the chief incidents being a struggling journalist's at- 
 tempts to preach love and undogmatic Christianity to the poor and outcast of London ; 
 contains some earnest studies of character and conduct, and is obviously grounded on 
 autobiography. Theologically, the book shows a recoil from the vague Wordsworthian 
 nature- worship and youthful theories of the Autobiography towards the Calvinism of his 
 earlier days, but purified, widened, and softened by experience of life. A book that reveals 
 the hearts of the poor struggling toilers with penetrating sympathy, and ennobled by the 
 earnestness of the autobiographer's endeavour to keep hold of the spiritual light while 
 labouring in darkness and slavery. [3s. 6d., is. n., Unwin : v. supra.] 
 
 The Revolution in Tanner's Lane. 1887 
 
 A sober and scrupulously honest picture of the lower middle-classes in 1814-40, especially of 
 
 the times of the Bread Riots and Peterloo ; the scenes, London and Manchester. Written 
 by a man who knew what it was to be a Radical when political differences were treated 
 as a crime. The change of ministers in an obscure Dissenting chapel, and the intrigues 
 and abortive revolts that ensue ; the trials of the Socialist Coleman and others who 
 suffered intolerable wrongs from society ; and more poignant interests ari.sing from the 
 gradual disillusionment and estrangement of newly married people. The social tendencies 
 of the time, religious and ethical questions, the meaning of human suffering, faith and 
 infideUty, are the topics illustrated in the lives and the characters presented. [3s. 6d., 
 IS. n., Unwin ; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 Miriam's Schooling; and other Papers. 1890 
 
 A short, but penetrating character-study ; how a crude and selfish girl is chastened, and 
 
 becomes a true woman ; a tale of lowly life sixty years ago. Also some Old Testament 
 histories ; all ethical in purpose. [3s. 6d., is. n., Unwin.] 
 
 Catherine Furze. 1894 
 
 A merciless portrayal of the cant and materialism of the lower middle-classes in the provinces ; 
 
 and an earnest exposition of various unorthodox views on morality and religion. [3s. 6d., 
 IS. n., Unwin.] 
 
 Clara Hapgood. 1896 
 
 England and Italy fifty years ago ; Mazzini is a minor character. Some of the author's more 
 
 heterodox opinions on ethics and religion are propounded, by the method of character- 
 development and incident. In Baruch Cohen, for example, the theology has advanced into 
 a phase of Pantheism, and among the political theorists are many disbeUevers in Chris- 
 tianity. The heroine bears shame rather than marry the unworthy lover who has betrayed 
 her, and Baruch, the believer in free love, eventually gives a home to her and her child.

ENGLISH FICTION 
 
 Whiteing, Richard [b. 1840]. The Island : an Adventure of a Person of Quality. 
 
 1888 
 This and the next novel together make a striking sociological study, much on the lines of 
 Zola's experimental fiction. An English lord, revolted by the vicgs and sophistications 
 of modern Society in gilded London and Paris, retires from the world. Cast away on a 
 Pacific isle, he discovers a community of English people living in peace and happy inno- 
 cence, intercourse with whom renews his faith in humanity. [6s., Longman ; Si. 50, 
 Century Co., New York.] 
 
 No. 5 John Street. 1899 
 
 After the peer's demise or disappearance, his friend, a rich baronet, continues his researches 
 into social conditions by living the life of the submerged in a London slum. His journal 
 presents a series of vividly contrasted pictures, the luxury of the rich and the misery of 
 the poor, the former alleged to be the cause of the latter, for the two stories together are 
 the author's plea for a radically new system of Distribution. [3s. 6d., De La More Press ;

 The Plough of Shame. 1906 
 
 A crowded picture of Ferrara and Florence in the sixteenth century, Ariosto, Tasso, and 
 Michael Angelo figuring among the many characters. Poisonings, torturing, and the 
 horrors of mediaeval dungeons make it very lurid (1530). [6s., Dent.] 
 
 WiLLCOCKS, Miss Mary Patricia. Widdicombe. 1905 
 
 A love-story of village and farm, relating the different tales of three girls, and bringing out 
 the characteristics they inherit from a fine old grandmother. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 The Wingless Victory. 1907 
 
 Scenes, Cornwall and Devon, where a village doctor, like Ibsen's " Enemy of Society," fights 
 the local authority and makes himself unpopular by telling the truth about a sanitation 
 scandal. His private struggle, on the other hand, is with his wife, who is out of 
 love with him, and coquets with a foolish boy and a philandering man. [6s. ($1.50), 
 Lane.] 
 
 A Man of Genius : a Story of the Judgment of Paris. 1908 
 
 Struggle of a poor man to become an architect, and conflict of temperament with his unsuit- 
 able wife, saved from tragedy by the renunciation and good feeling of a woman to whom 
 his heart had turned. Takes place chiefly in N. Devon. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.] 
 
 The Way Up. 1910 
 
 A young ironmaster tries to remedy the ills of capitalism by founding a system of co-operative 
 production — this is partly based on the life of Jean Andr6 Godin. Tragedy comes in 
 through the unsympathetic conduct of his moneyed wife. Scenes, Exeter, Topsham, 
 London, etc. [6s. ($1.50), Lane.]

 A Kentish vicar and his daughter, born in the West Indies, inherit a tinge of black 
 blood. The author illustrates the effects of these inherited traits of barbarism on them- 
 selves and on their English neighbours. The girl's character is analysed, and her story 
 is pathetic, sombre in its ending. [6s., Laurie; $1.50, Dodd & Mead, New York.]

 the struggle for existence in its most elemental phase. [2s., Macmillan ; 25c., Holt, New

 Woods, Margaret Louisa {continued). — Sons of the Sword: a Romance of the 
 Peninsular War. 1901 
 
 A good example of several historical novels by Mrs. Woods, chiefly of the Napoleonic time. 
 Adventures of an Irish girl at Madrid and elsewhere in Spain (1808-9) during the Penin- 
 sular War. She comes into contact with Napoleon, who is ably portrayed; Sir John 
 Moore also is introduced. [6s., Heinemann ; ?i.50, McClure, New York.] 
 
 The King's Revoke : an Episode in the Life of Patrick Dillon. 1905 
 
 An Irishman attempts to rescue Ferdinand VII, rightful king, during Joseph Bonaparte's 
 usurpation of the throne of Spain. Crammed with dramatis personis ; among the fictitious 
 stands out the unscrupulous Irishman D'Haguerty, among the historical, Talleyrand 
 (1808-13). [6s., Smith & Elder; I1.50, Button, New York,] 
 
 " Wynne, May " [Miss N. W. Knowles]. A King's Tragedy. 1905 
 
 Let Erin Remember. 1908 
 
 Two favourable examples of this prolific lady's historical romances, which usually are staged 
 on the Continent, and serve up fictitious episodes of mediaeval and later history in a spirited, 
 and sometimes a stilted manner. The King is James I of Scotland, assassinated in 1437. 
 The Irish tale is about Strongbow's conquest, and represents the Normans as chivalrous 
 warriors and the Irish as defeated through their own jealousies and dissensions. Both 
 romances are more imaginative than historical, [(i) 6s., Digby & Long ; (2) 6s., Greening.]

 Orrain. 1904 
 
 A second " Gentleman of France " ; the hero an invincible swordsman under a cloud, charged 
 with the escort of a young lady through countless perils (1555). A breathless rush of adven- 
 ture; all utterly improbable and unreal. [6s., Methuen; 1 1.50, Longman, New York.] 
 
 Yeats, William Butler [b. 1865]. The Celtic Twilight : Men and Women, Dhouls and 
 Faeries. 1895 
 
 A collection of Irish folk-tales of mystery and wonder by an apostle of the Celtic Renaissance- 
 Drawn chiefly from the peasants of N.E. Sligo, and retold in a style of cultivated simplicity,

 Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Secret Rose. 1897 
 
 Fairy-tales and folk-tales, original or clothed in a new imaginative form, relating to both

 Jocelyn Erroll. 1899 
 
 A novel of purpose, of the sentimental, not the intellectual, kind. Erroll is a clergyman who 
 withdraws . from the Church, but afterwards, with his f reethinking wife, returns to the 
 faith as the result of experience and family love ; he is, further, assailed by the wiles of a 
 heartless siren, who also is brought to a sense of her errors by calamity. [3s. 6d., Jarrold.]

 In her youth Carpathia had sacrificed her lover to her friend, and, now in old age, travelling 
 in Spain with her niece, she meets with the son of the pair, and a warm affection grows up

 Children of the Ghetto. 1892 
 
 The life of the Jews in London, chiefly poor and wretched immigrants but also of the aris- 
 tocracy, strong in its portrayal of both ethnic and personal traits, depicted by one who 
 knows and loves them, a Jew of the Jews. It is a succession of scenes, connected by a 
 thread of narrative ; ideas and ways of thinking, as well as ceremonial and external 
 features. Mr. Zangwill's Jewish novels are invaluable as an Mstorical and social document, 
 revealing the innermost character as well as the outward life of his race. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] , 
 
 The King of Schnorrers : Grotesques and Fantasies. 1894 
 
 A series of pictures of eighteenth-century beggars and other Hebrews, tragic and comic, 
 the tone rather that of extravaganza, but weighted with the same intimate knowledge 
 and copious detail. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Dreamers of the Ghetto. 1898 
 
 Real episodes of history thrown into the shape of fiction by an extension of Landor's method 
 in the Imaginary Conversations, but with a warmer infusion of feeling. Conversations 
 with, and imaginative memoirs of, historic representatives of the Jewish race, particu- 
 larly of such as rebelled against the' narrow limits of orthodox Judaism — Uriel Acosta, 
 Maimonides, Spinoza, Heine, and Ferdinand Lassalle. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Harper,

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Zangwill, Israel (continued). — They that Walk in Darkness: Ghetto Tragedies. 
 
 1899 
 
 Luminous pictures of the Ghetto, sombre in complexion. The title-story, a pathetic fantasy, 
 is one of the best. The simple story Incurable probes the deepest recesses of human agony. 
 Satan Mekatrig is a weird story of temptation, with hints of the Devil's actual appearance 
 in a Jewish community ; The Sabbath Breaker, a tender little anecdote of a mother's love ; 
 Bethulah, a story of ancient beUefs surviving and operative amid the widely alien circum- 
 stances of rpodern life. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Master. 1895 
 
 The circumstantial biography of a Nova Scotian lad, by nature an artist, who makes his way 
 through almost insuperable difficulties to success, but finds the hardest struggle is to 
 subdue himself. Deals philosophically with the deeper problems of life, presenting the 
 ideal character of the artist, repelling the temptations of the world, and devoting body 
 and soul to art until he attains a vision of the truth and beauty that are in the life around 
 him. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.75, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Mantle of Elijah. 1900 
 
 A study of the politics of the Palmerston period, with an anticipation of the Transvaal question 
 in the Novabarba difficulty, which gives the author scope for caustic satire on jingoism and 
 the claptrap offered as apology for war. The heroine has relations with an ambitious 
 politician, whose personal magnetism and devotion to her father's cause lead her to be- 
 come his wife. He rats, and she is disillusioned, her fastidious nature outraged by his 
 vulgarity and selfishness. [6s., Heinemann; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Grey Wig : Stories and Novelettes. 1903 
 
 Contains his newest and his oldest work. Mostly characterized by sparkling and epigrammatic 
 style, both in narrative and dialogue ; the manner more studied than the matter. Title- 
 story, a touching httle comedy about two aged Frenchwomen, ending in gratuitous horror. 
 Chassi Croisd,, still comic, but more serious of intent ; the marriage of an American " mil- 
 lionairess " with an English politician — ^love marrying ambition, and disappointed when 
 ambition changes to love. The Big Bow-Wow Mystery is an attempt to " take off " the 
 ordinary detective story. [6s., Heinemann; $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Ghetto Comedies. 1907 
 
 The fighter side, but still a serious defiueatiou of Jewish hfe. The Convert is a delicate study 
 of a beautiful Jewess. Melchisedech Pinches reappears from Children of the Ghetto, in 
 the more Rabelaisian character of a demagogue and a bragging literary quack. Satire of 
 hypocritical Pharisaism in the successful Sir Assher Abrahams, of Zionist ideals and self- 
 immolations — Raphael. The Model of Sorrows is an artistic expression of the duality of 
 the modern Jew, " king and knave in one." The Hirelings and Anglicization as well as 
 Sir Assher in The Jewish Trinity, powerfully illustrate the same theme of denationalization.

 strange alternations of escape and recapture, in which the whites always come off victori- 
 ous from the brink of death, they are restored to safety and wealth, and the villain is 
 killed. Nick is an unctuous Quaker, who privily carries on a sanguinary war with the 
 Indians (who had massacred his wife and children), at the same time preaching love and 
 peace. [2s., Routledge ; $1.25, Armstrong, New York.] 
 
 Brown, Charles Brockden [1771-1810]. Wieland; or, The Transformation. 1798 
 
 Brown was the first American novelist to count in literary history. He got rid of the more 
 artificial elements in the contemporary styles of Mrs. Radcliffe, " Monk " Lewis, and 
 other Gothic romancers, and laid his action in American scenes. A mysterious voice bids 
 Wieland sacrifice his wife and children to show his obedience to Heaven. All his romances 
 are sensational in matter, grandiloquent in style, and animated with the social ideas of 
 Godwin and Mary WoUstonecraft. 
 
 Ormond. 1799 
 
 The least sensational of his novels ; portrays a woman of surpassing virtue, who rises superior 
 
 to the ills of circumstance, little and great : a long and harrowing recital of moral and 
 physical anguish and petty annoyances nobly endured. 
 
 Arthur Mervyn ; or, Memories of the Year 1793. 1800 
 
 This account of the terrible visitation of yellow fever that devastated Philadelphia may be 
 
 compared in its realism with Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year. Brown was absent from 
 Philadelphia at the time, but went through a similar time of pestilence at New York in 
 1798 ; so that he draws on personal experience, though his characters are fictitious. 
 
 Edgar Huntly ; or, Adventures of a Sleep-Walker. 1801 
 
 A melodramatic novel, full of surprising incidents, and abounding in descriptive landscapes 
 of the Alleghany region. There are scenes of Indian warfare, in which the redskin is less 
 idealized than in Cooper's romances. A murder effected by a somnambulist supplies 
 the mystery, the elucidation of which is the principal motive ; there are, in fact, two 
 somnambulists, [(i), (2), (4) ea. $1; (3) $2, Polock, Philadelphia: o.p.] 
 
 Cooper, James Fenimore [i 789-1851]. The Spy: a Tale of the Neutral Ground. 
 
 1821 
 
 An exciting romance of the War of Independence (1780), introducing Washington and other 
 
 heroes, but paying small regard to historical fact. The hero, Harvey Birch, is a thorough 
 
 American, well individualized, and Cooper lays his scenes in a country he knew by heart. 
 
 The Pilot. 1824 
 
 A nautical romance packed with scenes of storm and fight, and descriptions of the many 
 
 aspects of the sea by one who had been a sailor. Celebrates the exploits of the famous 
 American rover Paul Jones (1747-92) in English waters ; period 1778-g. Rich also in 
 humorous character ; Long Tom Coffin, whose native soil was the sea, is a famous creation. 
 
 THE LEATHER-STOCKING TALES:—

 The Last of the Mohicans. 1826 
 
 The Pathfinder ; or, The Inland Sea. 1840 
 
 The Pioneers ; or, The Sources of the Susquehanna. 1823 
 
 The Prairie. 1826 
 
 A famous quintet of romances (ranged above in chronological order of incident, not as they 
 were written) which gave the red man a place in literature as Scott had recently given 
 to the Highlander. They are hnked together by the career of Hawkeye, Cooper's inimitable 
 backwoodsman, a romantic embodiment of the virtues of both races, and of Chingachgook,

 his Indian counterpart, equally idealized. In The Deerslayer his youth and early 
 adventures are recounted ; next, we find him in the prime of manhood, and are plunged 
 into the romantic incidents of the Old French War (1756-7) ; then we have his love for 
 Mabel Dunham ; in The Pioneers he is a man of seventy near Lake Otsego, where he had 
 passed his boyhood ; and lastly an old trapper of eighty years, on the Upper Missouri, 
 driven west by the inroads of civilization. There is little historical background ; but the 
 vivid descriptions of wood, lake, and prairie, and of the daily life of Indian and hunts- 
 man, give the finest picture extant of natural scenes and human conditions that have 
 long passed away, [(i) Illustrated by H. M. Brock, 3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., Macmillan ; (2) by

 1829), frontier life, etc. ; controversial, attacking Puritanism and agrarianism (1829—45).

 Hawthorne, Nathaniel [1804-64]. Fanshawe. 1828 
 
 A minor work, reprinted 1876, before then practically unknovifn. An old-fashioned romance, 
 embodying reminiscences of the author's college days — a much-idealized picture of 
 Bowdoin, where he was educated. Already exhibits the grace and clearness of the prose 
 style that is one of the chief distinctions of all the following books. [$i, Houghton, 
 Boston ; v. Dolliver Romance, infra.'] 
 
 Twice-Told Tales. 1837-42 
 
 Hawthorne's novels and stories always present small groups of figures in ideal relations. 
 They hinge upon some critical event rich in spiritual suggestiveness. Hutton caUs them 
 " ideal situations, expanded by minute study and trains of clear, pale thought into the 
 dimensions of novels." The gloomy Calvinistic theology gives a sombre colour to the 
 more serious tales. This series contains the Legends of the Province House and other 
 imaginative readings of pre- Revolutionary traditions, several of which involve super- 
 natural incident, e.g. The Gray Champion, Endicott and the Red Cross, and, most cha- 
 racteristic. Lady Eleanore's Mantle, a perfect example of his method of putting a moral 
 idea into an artistic concrete, the mantle being at once a symbol of the lady's heartless 
 egoism and the physical cause of calamity to her fellow-creatures. Akin to these, in 
 respect of visionary qualities and profound knowledge of the heart, are such apologues as 
 The Threefold Destiny, an allegory of human endeavour, The Wedding Knell, The Minis- 
 ter's Black Veil, The Great Carbuncle, and Dr. Heidegger's Experiment. The ethical pur- 
 port is more or less transparent throughout. Then there are compact pictures of New 
 England life, and contemplative sketches pervaded by a serene but earnest philosophy, 
 like Toll-Gatherer's Day, A Rill from the Town Pump, Chippings with a Chisel ; some 
 of these have the light vivacity of a fairy-tale. [2 vols. $2, i vol. $2, Ji, Houghton, Boston ;

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Hawthorne, Nathaniel [continued). — Mosses from an Old Manse. 1846 
 
 A second batch of " twice-told tales." Of the gloomier imaginative projections of moral ideas 
 two of the best examples are Rappaccini's Daughter and Young Goodman Brown ; the 
 latter a story of diabolical influence, with impressive forest scenery. Roger Malvin's Burial 
 is a tragic tale of remorse and long-delayed expiation in the romantic days of Indian 
 warfare (1725). Among the lighter pieces one of the best is The Celestial Railroad, a 
 comic parody of the Pilgrim's Progress and a satire on modern insincerity. [2 vols. |2, 
 I vol. $2, $1, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d. (Bohn's Lib.), Bell (no Amer. ed.) ; is. 6d. n. 
 (Chandos Classics), Warne ; 2s., W. Scott.] 
 
 The Scarlet Letter. 1850 
 
 A masterpiece in the style of art described above by R. H. Hutton — a philosophical handling 
 of the problem of sin and remorse. A Calvinist minister in the early Puritan days of 
 Massachusetts commits adultery with a married woman, and with his accomplice makes 
 terrible expiation. An austere study of the workings of a guilty mind, and a deeply pathetic 
 book, though its Puritan morality is harsh and stern. Hawthorne's fantastic symbolism 
 brings the crime and its searing effects on the heart visually before us. [$1.50, $1 ; with 
 Blithedale Romance, $2, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d. n., Nisbet ; 2s., is. n. (New Universal 
 Lib.), Routledge (50c., Button, New York) ; is. n. (Everyman's Lib.), Dent (35c. n., 
 Button, New York).] 
 
 — The House of Seven Gables. 1851 
 
 A brighter and more humorous story, though the analysis of character is stern and uncom- 
 promising, and the writer dwells upon the endless and incalculable consequences of past 
 mistakes and misdeeds. In the last generations of a decaying family he presents a series 
 of quaint, fanciful, and grotesque figures, rich in eccentricity and the subtler essences of 
 character, his ethical theme being the endless and incalculable consequences of past mis- 
 takes and misdeeds. [$1, with Snow Image, $2, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d. n., Nisbet; 2s.,

 — A Wonder Book for Boys and Girls. 1851 
 
 — Tanglewood Tales ; being a Second Wonder Book. 1853 
 
 Two series of tales adapted from the old Greek myths, rendered more vivid to the childish 
 imagination by intimate touches which deepen the moral import and make the wonders 
 plausible. Quite as conscientious in their teaching and their art as the stories already 
 enumerated, [(i) $1, Houghton, Boston ; 2s., W. Scott ; is., Routledge. Illustrated

 5s. n.. Dent.] 
 
 — The Blithedale Romance. 1852 
 
 An ideahzed account, in the form of a regular novel, of the famous " Transcendental Picnic," 
 the communistic settlement at Brook Farm. The brilliant and passionate Zenobia is 
 drawn from Margaret Fuller, and the contemplative Miles Coverdale stands for Haw- 
 thorne himself. A light and joyous tale for the most part, in spite of Zenobia's 
 tragic suicide, after which the book goes off on visionary excursions into clairvoyance, 
 mysticism, and esoteric speculation. [?i, Houghton, Boston; 3s. 6d. n., Nisbet; 2s., 
 W. Scott.] 
 
 — The Snow Image ; and other Twice-Told Tales. 1851 
 
 The title-story described as " A Childish Miracle " is a fantastic apologue, contrasting a, matter- 
 of-fact man who believes only what he sees with a woman who through life " hadekept 
 her heart full of childish simplicity and faith," and so perceived " truths so profound that 
 other people laughed at them as nonsense and absurdity." The Great Stone Face is a 
 parable not unlike in motive to the Threefold Destiny, describing a very noble, modest, 
 and spiritual type of character, and abounding in poetical imagery. Main Street is a 
 characteristic meditation on human life, its aspects and vicissitudes ; in form a review 
 
 390 
 
UP TO 1850 
 
 of the changes which have come over a New England town in the long years since the 
 colonizing days. Old News and Old Ticonderoga are of a similar cast. The Devil in Manu- 
 script is a comic piece ; while the tragic imagination that invests the problems of sin and 
 its demoralizing power with such tremendous symboMsm in The Scarlet Letter, finds a 
 congenial theme in the story of Ethan Brand and his search for the unpardonable crime, 
 setting forth the injury to the soul which comes from purely intellectual ambitions. {%i, 
 Houghton, Boston ; 2s., W. Scott ; v. also House of Seven Gables, supra.'] 
 
 Hawthorne, Nathaniel [continued). — Transformation [The Marble Faun; or. The 
 Romance of Monte Beni]. i860 
 
 A philosophical novel with a melodramatic plot ; theme — " is sin . . . merely an element of 
 human education ? " The faun-like Donatello, an anomalous creature " mystified " 
 between the Real and the Fantastic, is suddenly awakened to moral consciousness and 
 remorse by an unpremeditated murder. The New England maiden, Hilda, is said to be a 
 portrait of Hawthorne's own daughter. Art and Nature in Italy, the architecture, paint- 
 ings, and sculpture {especially American sculpture) of Rome, and Catholic ceremonial are 
 the subject of long passages of description. [$2; 2 vols., $2, Houghton, Boston; with 
 Blithedale Romance, 3s. 6d., Bell.]

 Septimius Felton ; or, The EUxir of Life. 1872 
 
 Doctor Grimshawe's Secret : a Romance. 1883 
 
 The Ancestral Footstep. 1884 
 
 Posthumous and unfinished romances, mostly dealing with psychological and ethical themes. 
 All of these were, as Julian Hawthorne tells us, connected with a project for composing 
 a novel with English scenes, [(i), (2) ea. |i ; (i), (2), (4), with Fanshawe, in i vol., $2, 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Irving, Washington [1783-1859]. Salmagundi ; or. The Whim- Whams and Opinions 
 of Lancelot Langstaff, Esq., and others. 1807-8 
 
 A serial miscellany of essays and sketches, comprising inter alia Addisonian memoirs of the 
 Cockloft family, and satirical letters from a Turkish exile in New York, after the model of 
 Goldsnaith and Montesquieu. [3s. 6d., Bell; 2 vols., $2.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 A History of New York, by Diedrich Knickerbocker. 1809 
 
 Begun as a parody of a pretentious history, carried on as a comic history in which fact and 
 droll fiction are inextricably mingled in a peculiarly American manner ; introduces a 
 good deal of kindly satire of the old Dutch inhabitants of Manhattan Island, which actually 
 ofiended their living descendants. Diedrich is a representative of these decaying families 
 of New York, an eccentric old bachelor, whose idiosyncrasies are very diverting. The 
 style is that of the classic English writers of the eighteenth century. [$1.50, 75c. ; Illus- 
 trated, 2 vols., $6, $2.50, Putnam, New York ; 2 vols. (National Lib.), ea. 6d., Cassell.] 
 
 Rip Van Winkle ; and, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. ^ 1819 
 
 Humorous and imaginative fantasies, in which the primitive Dutch folk living in the wooded 
 and hilly country bordering on the Hudson are dehneated in a racy style, as they were 
 long ago. In the first, a man's supernatural sleep through years that transform his native 
 village from ancient to modern, is the motive, which may have been borrowed from some 
 European legend ; in the second, a headless horseman plays a mock-tragic part. The 
 'prose of these idylls is that of Addison and Goldsmith, and a quieter humour than the 
 drollery of the Knickerbocker history pervades them. [Illustrated, $1.25, Putnam, by 
 G. H. Boughton, 3s. 6d. ($1.50), 2s. n. (8oc.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Bracebridge Hall ; or. The Humourists. 1822 
 
 Like so many of the essays in the Sketch Booh, this is a sympathetic picture of pleasant phases 
 of Enghsh country hfe, and recalls the very similar sketches of Addison in the Sir Roger 
 de Coverley papers. [$1.50, 75c.; Illustrated, 2 vols., $6, $2.50, Putnam, New York, by

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 JuDD, Sylvester [1813-53]. Margaret: a Tale of the Real and the Ideal, of Blight 
 and Bloom. 1845 
 
 An inchoate, improbable book, that is of some importance in the history of American fiction, 
 and possesses strong individuahty. The life of a New England village early in the century, 
 the rehgious worship, rustic festivals, the prevailing intemperance, and the manners of 
 the time, are depicted with great realism. The rehgious and social movements which were 
 in the air are interpreted with the bias of a Unitarian, who was also an advocate of peace 
 and of temperance, and strongly opposed to slavery and capital punishment. Mixed up 
 with the sad story are rhapsodical descriptions of Nature in the fields and the wood- 
 lands, full of thought and deep feeUng. [$1.50, Roberts, Boston: o.p. ; 2s., Ward & 
 Lock.] 
 
 Kennedy, John Pendleton [" Sol. Second Thoughts," 1795-1870]. Swallow Bam.

 Attractive pictures of rural Virginia in the early years of the century — quiet description of 
 old-fashioned, genial society, of hearty and hospitable people, and a phase of happy hfe 
 that was soon to pass away. [$1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 Horseshoe Robinson : a Tale of Tory Ascendency in 1780. 1835 
 
 A strongly local story of South Carohna during the War of Independence (1757-80), founded 
 on personal memories of actual events, and portraying historical people. [$1.50, Putnam, 
 New York ; ?i, Burt, New York.] 
 
 Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth [1807-82]. Hyperion. 1839 
 
 The musings, love-making, and dreams of a young poet, a pilgrim in Germany and Switzer- 
 land ; no doubt representing a phase in Longfellow's youth. Beginning with a poet's 
 grief, it preaches an optimistic lesson of courage and confidence in the future. [50c., 
 Houghton, Boston ; $1, Burt, New York ; is., W. Scott.] 
 
 Mayo, William Starbuck [1812-95]. Kaloolah ; or, Journejdngs to the Djebelkumri. 
 
 1849 
 
 A wild romance of adventure on the deep and in Africa, wherein the author embodied much 
 autobiography, mainly of his boyhood and schooldays in New York State. The adven- 
 tures culminate in the marriage of the young American hero, Jonathan Romer, to a princess 
 in Central Africa, exciting scenes of life in forest and desert, hairbreadth escapes, fights 
 with slave-traders and natives, being the chief incidents. The contrast between the 
 primitive society where he is expatriated and his native land affords the adventurer oppor- 
 tunity for some GuUiverian satire. [Illustrated by Fredericks, ?i.75, 4to, Putnam, New 
 York,] 
 
 Melville, Herman [1819-91]. Typee : a Romance of the South Seas. 1846 
 
 - — — Omoo [sequel]. 1847 
 
 Romantic tales of adventure among the Pacific isles, personal experiences of hfe among the 
 Marquesas cannibals, combined with some little fiction. The pictures of nautical life, 
 of fights with savages, narrow escapes, and tropical scenery have often been mistaken for 
 statements of fact. [Ea. $1.25, Estes, Boston; ea. 3s. 6d., Murray ; is. n. (New Universal 
 Library), Routledge ; 50c., Button, New York; is. n. (Everyman's Library), Dent (35c. n.,

 The White Jacket ; or, The World in a Man-of-War. 1850 
 
 Made up of the author's experiences on a United States frigate, where he served as a common 
 sailor. [$1.25, Estes, Boston.] 
 
 — Moby Dick ; or. The White Whale. 1851 
 
 By far his finest book. A realistic story of whale-fisliing in the Pacific, conveying the magic 
 and beauty of the sea, and the romance of the nautical hfe, better perhaps than any other 
 story in the language. [3s. 6d., Low; $1.35, Estes, Boston; is. n. (Everyman's Lib.), 
 Dent (35c. n., Dutton, New York).]

UP TO 1850 
 
 Paulding, James Kirke [1779-1860]. The Dutchman's Fireside. 1831 
 
 Sole survivor of a number of satires, sketches, and novels, written by a collaborator of 
 Washington Irving in Salmagundi. A thoroughly native and local novel, and patriotic, 
 too, in its eulogy of Yankee character. Sensational and sentimental features alternate 
 with quaint facetiousness ; and the portraiture of Dutch settlers and Indian braves is 
 incisive and racy. [$2.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 PoE, Edgar Allan [1809-49]. Tales of Mystery, Imagination and Humour. 1840-5 
 
 Extreme developments of the Gothic romance of Mrs. Radclifie, Walpole, Maturin, and 
 Brockden Brown, with a more calculated study of psychological effect. Impossible and im- 
 probable fictions, hallucinations, mysteries, phantoms, and other conceptions of overpower- 
 ing horror, made credible for the moment by Defoe-like realism and closeness of reasoning ; 
 e.g. M. Valdemar, the ghastly tale of a man mesmerized in the act of dying and kept in a 
 state of semi-consciousness ; A Descent into the Maelstrom, a thrilling wonder-story 
 attaining verisimilitude by matter-of-fact narration ; Ligeia, a psychical story of how a 
 woman of powerful will returns from the dead and usurps the living body of her husband's 
 second wife ; The Fall of the House of Usher, a dramatic piece that appeals poetically to 
 our sense of the weird and mysterious ; The Gold Bug, a story of Captain Kidd's treasure ; 
 The Mystery of Marie Roget, The Purloined Letter, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, 
 the model for Conan Doyle and his school ; Hans Pfaal, the prototype of Jules Verne 
 and H. G. Wells's impossible voyages, with numerous other essays in pure sensation and 
 the marvellous, detective riddles and grotesque humour, all constructed with consummate 
 skill and power of suggestion. [75c., Porter & Coates, Philadelphia; is. n. (New 
 Universal Lib.), Routledge {50c., Dutton, New York) ; is. n. (Everyman's Lib.), Dent 
 (35c. n., Dutton, New York). Illustrated with etchings, 3 vols-., los. 6d., Routledge.] 
 
 Sedgwick, Catharine Maria [1789-1867]. Hope Leslie. 1827 
 
 The best of a number of domestic novels depicting primitive life in a New England homestead, 
 extolling the modest virtues of kindness and courtesy, honesty and self-improvement, and 
 praising a single life for women. Apart from these moral purposes, her novels picture the 
 bygone life of the village and farm in an attractive light. [2 vols., $3, Harper, New York.] 
 
 SiMMS, William Gilmore [" Frank Cooper " ; 1806-1870]. The Yemassee. 1835 
 
 A novel following after both Scott and Fenimore Cooper, dealing with the war of extermina- 
 tion against the Creeks and Cherokees in 1715, after their attempt, incited by the 
 Spaniards in Florida, to massacre the whites. 
 
 The Partisan. 1835 
 
 Mellichampe: a Legend of the Santee. 1836 
 
 The Scout (ist edn. entitled " The Kinsmen "). 1841 
 
 Katherine Walton. 1851 
 
 A closely connected sequence of romances dealing with the War of Independence in the South, 
 the scenes being mainly on the Carolina coast, about Charlestown and old Dorchester. 
 The actualities of the long domestic war, suspicions and fears among friends and kinsfolk, 
 double dealings of traitors and patriots alike, together with scenes from the brilliant social 
 life of Charlestown and episodes in field and forest, are worked into an old-fashioned novel 
 of plot and adventure. Historic notabilities appear (e.g. Marion, Sumter, Gates, 
 Comwallis, Tarleton) ; but native types of backwoodsmen, scouts, soldiers, etc., are the 
 most original part of the work, as, e.g. Lieutenant Porgy, the Falstaf&an gourmet, supple 
 Jack Bannister, the boatman of Congaree, and the magnanimous Jack Witherspoon, who 
 dies for his friend.

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Alcott, Louisa May (coniinued). — Little Women ; or, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. 
 
 [juvenile] 1868 
 
 A bright and genial didactic story of childhood and home life, portraying four girls who are 
 wholesome types of character, and following their growth to womanhood. One of the 
 most truthful delineations ever penned of American village life. Morahstic, but not theo- 
 logical ; in fact, Miss Alcott rarely alludes to religious questions. [$1.50, Little & Brown,

 Life of a New England girl of superior birth, who goes out to earn her living, and, as housemaid,

 [$1.50, Little & Brown, Boston ; 2s. 6d., 2S., Low.] 
 
 — Eight Cousins ; or, The Aunt Hill. [juvenile] 1875 
 
 Story of a set of boys and girls, whose diverse characters and ways are drawn with a thorough 
 enjoyment of, and affection for, children, and with plenty of fun. They have no precocious 
 traits, but appeal to mature readers by their naturalness and the light they throw on 
 questions of training and education, [f 1.50, Little & Brown, Boston ; 3s. 6d., 2S. 6d., 2s,,

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Aldrich, Thomas Bailey [1836-1907]. The Story of a Bad Boy. 1869 
 
 Autobiography in the main. The bad boy is a New Orleans lad who comes to be educated at 
 a New England seaport, of pronouncedly Puritanical character. Makes one realize 
 vividly the narrow range of boyish experience and imagination, the immense sorrows 
 arising from petty troubles, and the exquisite fascination of the average boy's adventures 
 and mischievous escapades. Comic as a whole, with bits of boyish pathos, home-sickness, 
 love-sickness, etc. [$1.25, 50c. n., Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 ■ Marjorie Daw, and other People : Short Stories. 1873 
 
 Artful little stories, wit characterizing not only the style but the manipulation of plot. Mar- 
 jorie Daw leads up, by a climax, to an unforeseen conclusion, making a fool of the reader 
 in a good-natured way. Hawthorne praised the delicate art and subdued pathos of 
 Pire Antoine's Date Palm. Every tale is logically worked out, rounded and complete in 
 itself, and usually ends in a surprise. Marjorie Daw appeared first in the Atlantic Monthly 
 (April, 1873). [$i, Houghton, Boston ; is., Douglas, Edinburgh. Illustrated in colour hy 
 J. C. Clay, $2, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Prudence Palfrey. 1874 
 
 A nearly impossible plot, developed with wit and plausibility — how a murderer and thief 
 from the gold-diggings acts as minister in a New England village, wins the heart of his 
 iiock, and very nearly that of Prudence. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston ; is., Douglas, 
 Edinburgh ; is., Routledge.] 
 
 The Queen of Sheba. 1878 
 
 A novelette connected with Marjorie Daw by the character of Flemming. Compact of humour 
 and sensation, one of the most striking incidents being the escape of the lunatics from an 
 asylum, after locking in their keepers. Scenes, a New Hampshire village and then Switzer- 
 land. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston; is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 — — The Stillwater Tragedy. 1880 
 
 His most elaborate novel. A murder and the detection of the murderer are the groundwork. 
 The various aspects of life in a manufacturing village, the passions and calamities of a 
 strike, are realistically depicted ; and a love-story introduces romance. [I1.50, Houghton, 
 Boston ; 2 vols., 2s., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Two Bites at a Cherry ; with other Tales. 1893 
 
 The title-story is a good specimen of his ingenious and delicate workmanship. [$1.50, Hough- 
 ton, Boston ; is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Anonymous. Aristocracy. 1888 
 
 A satire upon the too flattering pictures of Society offered to the public by contemporary 
 novelists. The characters are said to be well-known people. The book depicts barely one 
 decent character, and the panorama of English life is wholly depressing. [|i, 50c., Appleton, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Breadwinners. 1884 
 
 A study of social phenomena, more particularly contests between labour and capital, in a 
 town of Ohio. Full of earnest feeling, and not free from prejudice. Realistic, not only in 
 representing characters and actions, but in conveying the tone and atmosphere of this 
 provincial town. [50c., Harper, New York ; 2s., Wame.] 
 
 Austin, Jane \nee Goodwin ; 1831-94]. A Nameless Nobleman. 1881 
 
 The scene is laid in Plymouth, a New England village, making ready for the reception of a 
 clergyman who is bringing home his wife. Religious in tone. [?i.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Dr. Le Baron and his Daughters : a Story of the Old Colony. ' 1890 
 
 The doctor is son of the Nameless Nobleman in the former romance. This tale deals more 
 discursively with later phases of social life, embodying many traditions and legends.

 A comprehensive representation of life in a thriving village just before the Civil War (c. 1861) ; 
 the principals, a parson of the old school, who holds philosophical duels with the physician, 
 an eccentric sage, and other gossips. Rose, the doctor's daughter, and her suitors. One 
 of the lovers is a young hero, though a dullard, and proves his worth on the field of Gettys- 
 burg, where Rose acts as nurse. Here is the climax of the story : they return home to 
 a happy future. [50c., Fords, Howard & Hulbert, New York.] 
 
 Bellamy, Edward [1850-98]. Looking Backward, 2000-1887. 1888 
 
 The imaginary narrator awakes from a miraculous sleep and finds himself in Boston in a.d. 
 2000. A Socialist millennium reigns there, all human ills being banished by the power of 
 universal wealth. My Afterdream, by Julian West (6s., Unwin, 1900), is a rejoinder and 
 a criticism in the shape of another prophetic romance. [$i, 50c., Houghton, Boston ; 
 IS., 6d., Routledge.]

 Fine portraiture of the Scots Spae Wife gifted with second-sight, of Alice Wentworth, daughter 
 of a persecuted Roman Catholic baronet, of an Irish gentleman in Mary Queen of Scots' 
 retinue, and of Queen Elizabeth — anything but an attractive picture. [§2, Noonan,

 Seven stories of New Orleans, portraying the Creoles with tenderness, knowledge, and

 Revealed a phase of American life never before described in literature. Cable's mastery 
 of pathos is finely shown in The Belles Demoiselles Plantation, and his droll humour in Posson

 The long, despairing struggle of a young married pair in the prosperous world of New Orleans 
 before the War. The Doctor is an elaborate study of an exceptional type of character. 
 The old Creole town, streets, houses, and people are drawn in great detail, all sorts of 
 brogues mingling in the dialogue. The author lavishes much pains on the striking indi- 
 viduality of Sevier. [$1.50, Scribner, New York ; 2 vols., 12s., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 — Bonaventure : a Prose Pastoral of Acadian Louisiana. 1888

 The characters are historical types ; Leggett, the half-breed, a servile, insolent scoundrel, 
 who conspires with a white villain to ruin March, the amiable old judge, etc. [I1.50, 
 Scribner, New York ; 2S. 6d., Low.]

 Woven round an historical episode of 1660, when Dollard, with a devoted band of Hurons, 
 repulsed a horde of Iroquois invading New France. The high-souled heroine, the vaUant 
 Dollard, and the courageous Huron, Annahotaha, are fine characters drawn from within, 
 if a little vague and unsubstantial. [$1.25, Century Co., New York ; 6s., Unwin.]

 Adventures of the Sieur de la Salle and his friend the one-armed lieutenant Tonty in Canada

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Crane, Stephen {continued). — ^The Little Regiment. 1896 
 
 A collection of similar stories and studies, the title-story an episode in a big engagement ; 
 tlie effect of actuality obtained by an introspective method of relation, strange and striking 
 epithets being added and added until a detailed picture is before the eye. [$i, Appleton, 
 New York : o.p. ; 2s. 6d. n., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Third Violet. 1897 
 
 Developed entirely in dialogue, profusely spiced with Yankee slang. A poor, proud artist 
 loves a wealthy girl, and subdues his pride to propose only in the last chapter. Bohemian 
 scenes of struggling artist life in New York. Extremely realistic in reproduction of slovenly, 
 illiterate talk and slangy manners. [Si, Appleton, New York : o.p. ; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Open Boat. 1898 
 
 Stories as vivid as his earliest masterpiece, with the addition that Crane has now seen action 
 for himself. Title-story based on his escape from the " Commodore " during the Cuban 
 War ; tales of sea and land, filibustering expeditions, narrow escapes, humorous incidents, 
 etc. [$i, Doubleday, New Yo^k ; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 Active Service. 1899 
 
 A war correspondent's adventures in love and war during the Graeco-Turkish campaign {1897) 
 where Crane served in this capacity. Very rough and slangy in style, but vivid. [$1.25, , 
 50c., Stokes, New York ; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Monster ; and other Stories. 1899 
 
 The longest story. The Monster, condensed into a series of pithy scenes and dialogues, is the 
 
 reaUstic development of a ghastly idea. A negro servant, with unexpected heroism, 
 rescues his master's son ;from a burning house and is hideously disfigured. The master, 
 a village doctor, concentrates his science on the task of saving the life of this horrible 
 wreck of humanity, and his stubborn devotion involves him in ruin. His New Mittens 
 is a story of boy life. [I1.25, Harper, New York.]

 York; 6s., Methuen.] 
 
 Bowery Tales. 1900 
 
 George's Mother (75c., Arnold, New York : o.p., 1896) and Maggie (75c., Appleton, New York : 
 
 o.p. ; 2S., Heinemann, 1896) — two studies of slum life in New York, reproducing with 
 unshrinking fidelity the squalid, humdrum features of the life of the average poor, and 
 their temptations to crime. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 Whilomville Stories. 1900 
 
 Tales and studies of American child-life ; the misadventures, practical jokes, amusing foibles 
 and antics of precocious youths of eight and nine, humorously related. Shame, The 
 Carriage Lamps, and Making an Orator are amusing sketches of boy-nature. [$1.50,

 from a notorious Persian merchant who had a dispute with the Nizam about a famous 
 
 diamond. [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Doctor Claudius. 1883 
 
 A romance almost as improbable, though the mystery is not connected with the .supernatural. 
 In the main, a love-story of the good old sort, with an Admirable Crichton hero and sparkling

 [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 — Corleone : a Sicilian Story [sequel]. 1898 
 
 [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 A panorama of Roman society from 1865 to the present day, set forth in the annals of a princely 
 house. The first two are a romance of passion and jealousy, in which the loves of the chaste 
 and beautiful Corona and Sant' Ilario are the central interest : family feuds and recon- 
 ciliations, duels, battles, suicide, furnish violent incidents, while Roman life is presented 
 in a host of public and private characters, priests of all grades, gallant nobles like Prince 
 Saracinesca and Sant' Ilario, Don Orsino (son of the latter, grandson of the former). 
 Count Spicca and other prominent members of Roman Society, and many side studies of 
 inconspicuous people. Manners are drawn with familiarity and insight. The corruption 
 of public life is exposed, and the obscure forces agitating the financial world are the special 
 subject in Don Orsino, where the young hero occupies himself with the building specula- 
 tions that were such a striking phenomenon in the recent history of Roman business. 
 Corleone is a Sicilian episode in the history of the Saracinesca, bringing them into contact 
 with the Corleone, " the worst blood in Italy," and the Mafia. Marion Crawford, as an 
 American diplomatist at Rome, acquired an unequalled knowledge of Italian life and 
 character. 
 
 Marzio's Crucifix. 1887 
 
 Strong in realistic portraiture of lower and middle class Italians. Pre-eminently a study of 
 a single personality, that of a born artist, true descendant of Cellini and the Renaissance. 
 This man is an unbeliever and a fanatical anarchist, hating his brother, a priest and his own 
 patron. The crucial incident brings out his moral cowardice by the touchstone of a pro- 
 jected murder which is never perpetrated. [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Paul Patoff. 1887 
 
 The many-coloured life of modern Constantinople is painted in a series of vivacious scenes 
 
 at the beginning of the story. Two brothers are the chief characters, one of whom dis- 
 appears mysteriously, and a bewildering tcingle of sensational events is the result. [$1.5° 
 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 With the Immortals. 1888 
 
 A conference in which the geniuses of all time — Caesar, Francis de Valois, Bayard, Pascal, 
 
 Dr. Johnson, Heine — talk about all sorts of subjects and utter grave reflections on life.

 Crawford, Francis Marion (continued). — Greifenstein. 1889 
 
 [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 A Cigarette Maker's Romance. 1890 
 
 Marion Crawford was always an admirable craftsman, ingenious as a constructor of plots, 
 deft in execution. This novel and, perhaps, Marzio's Crucifix are works of more genuine 
 artistic merit. This is a pathetic little romance, worked out on almost regular dramatic 
 lines, and comprehending just two days. Scene, Munich, with a small group of foreign 
 characters, the most engaging of whom are a quixotic Count, and a poor Polish girl, beauti- 
 fied by self-denying love. [With Khaleii, $1.50, Macmillan, New York; alone, 3s. 6d., 
 Macmillan, London.] 
 
 Khaled : a Tale of Arabia. 1891 
 
 An Oriental fantasia with a genie for hero, who craves from Allah the gift of a human soul 
 and life hereafter, and is bidden to earn the boon by winning a woman's love. [See 
 Cigarette Maker's Romance ; alone, 3s. 6d., Macmillan.]

 A novel of hypnotism. [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 — Katherine Lauderdale. 1894 
 
 — The Ralstons [sequel]. 1894 
 
 The beginning of another great family chronicle like the Saracinesca series. The Lauderdales 
 are a wealthy family in New York, who with their social intimates are set before us in 
 a gallery of analytical portraits almost in the style of Henry James. The leading motives 
 are clandestine marriage and its consequences, and the efforts to reform an inebriate, 
 John Ralston. [Ea. |i>50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 — Love in Idleness : a Bar Harbour Tale. 1894 
 A charming little tale that was the author's own favourite. [$2 (2s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 — The Three Fates. 1892 
 An analytical novel after Howells and Henry James, dealing with Society life in New York ; the 
 
 chief subject, the character of a hesitating, untrustworthy man, is subtlj- evolved, and 
 there is a good deal of emotional interest. [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 — Marion Darche : a Story without Comment. 1893 
 [I1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 — The Children of the King. 1893 
 This is the surname of a race of Calabrian peasants, of whom the last representative, an heroic, 
 
 primitive character, is drawn in strong relief against a cultured but worthless aristocrat. 
 Among the other sketches are a self-indulgent and heartless Marchesa and her daughter, 
 a girl of fine nature ; but the story is the important element, and the peasant's noble 
 devotion to a hopeless love is the soul of tragedy. The solution is violent and melo- 
 dramatic. [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macnaillan.] 
 
 — Pietro Ghisleri. 1893 
 Like the majority of the author's novels, an adaptation of romance to the manners and usages 
 
 of modern society in Rome. Ghisleri is something like the traditional Byronic hero, a 
 self-contained, somewhat taciturn man, with a dark reputation, but in reality a generous, 
 even heroic, character. How he and a good English girl, two apparently antipathetic 
 characters, come in the end to love each other is one thread of the plot, another is the history 
 of a criminal conspiracy directed against these two by a jealous, neurotic woman. The 
 pleasures, jealousies, and quarrels of the gay set in Roman high Society are portrayed 
 with evident famiharity, and we are introduced again to several of those gentlemen of 
 noble Uneage and chivalrous manners who are such good company in previous stories.

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Crawford, Francis Marion (continued). — Casa Braccio. 1895 
 
 A violent tale of passion, with some melodrama arising from a peasant's long-cherished ven- 
 geance. The under characters are chiefly peasants. Scene, Siibiaco in the Sabine hills. 
 The Americans and the genteel characters are of the average kind. [2 vols., $2 (i vol., 
 3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Taquisara. 1896 
 
 Plot contains much melodrama, and some revolting features ; a conventional love-story is 
 
 combined with it. Veronica, the heroine, by far the finest character, is a young girl, 
 last of a wealthy and princely house, a strong, unconventional nature, with high ideals of 
 duty and a will to realize them. [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Adam Johnstone's Son. 1896 
 
 [With A Rose of Yesterday, $1.50; alone, 3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 A Rose of Yesterday. 1897 
 
 The heroine is a singularly noble woman, intelligibly and convincingly portrayed ; and the 
 book forms an emphatic protest against the laxity of marriage laws in America. [See 
 Adam Johnstone's Son; alone, 3s. 6d., Macmillan.] 
 
 Via Crucis : a Romance of the Second Crusade. 1899 
 
 A melodramatic romance of the days of Stephen and the Second Crusade (c. 1146-9), deahng 
 chiefly with the adventures of a brave English knight. Eleanor of Aquitaine, wife suc- 
 cessively of Louis VII and of Henry II of England, and Bernard of Clairvaux are prominent 
 figures. The feuds of Stephen and Matilda are among the motives of the action. [I1.50 
 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 In the Palace of the King. 1900 
 
 A story of passion, in the Court of Philip II at Madrid (1574), which in the brevity and com- 
 pactness of the action strongly resembles a play. The King's brother, the chivalrous 
 Don John, loves a lady of the Court, and by his determination to marry her, brings him- 
 self into collision with his hard and cruel brother, and with the more powerful of his coun- 
 sellors. [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Marietta : a Maid of Venice. 1901 
 
 A Venetian story of c. 1470. Marietta, daughter of a wonderful old glassblower of enormous 
 
 wealth, loves, and is loved by, her father's workman, a foreigner, who is assailed by the 
 jealous plots of the citizens. Based on actual incidents. [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 — Cecilia : a Story of Modern Rome. 1902 
 
 The two lovers have met in a former state of existence, but the lady has unfortunately become 
 engaged to her dream-lover's dearest friend — a situation that has to be arbitrarily resolved. 
 The psychical interest is deepened by the author's realistic treatment of Italian hfe.

 A trio of stories giving the complicated love affairs, the operatic career and many romantic 
 
 experiences of an English girl in London and New York. Clever melodrama ballasted

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Crawford, Francis Marion (continued). — ^Arethusa. 1907 
 
 A dashing romance of love and intrigue in Constantinople (1376), the hero a Venetian merchant 
 who figures in history, and Arethusa a beautiful slave who turns out to be the adopted 
 daughter of a Greek noble. A plot for ousting the usurper Andronicus and reinstalling 
 the deposed Johannes provides incident ; but the book is chiefly imaginary adventure, 
 and hardly attempts to be historical in manners, character, or atmosphere. [$1.50 (3s. 6d.),

 [$1.50 (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Stradella : an old Italian Love-Tale. 1909 
 
 A posthumous love-comedy with grim features, about a seventeenth-century Sicilian, who is 
 a composer and a musician and wins the betrothed of a Venetian Senator. The plot 
 brings in the assassins of Monadelschi, who met his death by command of Christina of 
 Sweden. L?i-5° (3S- 6d.), Macmillan.]

 A Puritan Pagan. 1891 
 
 Two bright Society novels. The life of the fashionable set, especially, is described with much 
 vivacious detail, [(i) $1, Lippincott, Philadelphia : o.p. ; (2) $1, Appleton, New York :

 Cummins, Maria Susannah [1827-66]. The Lamplighter. [juvenile] 1854 
 
 A moral book for, the young ; diffuse, sentimental, and exclamatory : very widely read a genera- 
 tion ago. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston ; $1, 75c., Caldwell, Boston ; 3s. 6d., 2s., is. 6d., 
 IS., Routledge.] 
 
 Mabel Vaughan. [juvenile] 1857 
 
 Entirely didactic ; a model heroine does her duty as sister and daughter, and is rewarded with 
 the hand of a model senator. Laboured and artificial, containing, however, an occasional 
 touch of nature. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston ; is. 6d., is., Routledge.] 
 
 Curtis, George William [1824-92]. Prue and I. 1856 
 
 A story or an essay according to the classifier's point of view. Rather, a train of inconsequent 
 musings on life, which the narrator shares with his wife and comrade, Prue — ^the story 
 and musings give an ideal picture of serene and sympathetic wedlock. Often the reveries 
 take fantastic shapes, as in the story of Titbottom's spectacles, the property of which is 
 to show the real character beneath each man's exterior. A quiet humour and a reverent 
 faith in goodness and charity give these fables and reminiscences a grace like that of 
 Lamb's more personal essays. [$i n., Burt, New York ; $1, 75c., Caldwell, Boston; 
 IS., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Dana, Richard Henry [1815-82]. Two Years before the Mast. 1840 
 
 The classical account of seafaring in a merchant sailing ship of the old days. Dana, after 
 leaving college, served his two years in a Boston vessel, for the sake of his health, and 
 this is a faithful record of his experiences — a realistic, unexaggerated picture of life on 
 shipboard in all its details. There is no lack of human interest, and the descriptions of the 
 sea itself and of the glorious run home before the wind are full of spirit and vivid truth.

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 De Forest, John William [1826-1906]. Seacliff ; or, The Mystery of the Westervelts. 
 
 1859 
 
 The mystery overshadowing this New York family concerns a forgery into which a villainous 
 la'wyer entrapped Mrs. Westervelt as a girl. Here we have the love-story of her daughter, 
 and of a young man who cannot make up his mind as to which of the pair he loves. Some 
 tragedy is involved in the denouement, but comic scenes and dialogues diversify the tale, 
 [o.p.] 
 
 Miss Ravenell's Conversion from Secession to Loyalty. 1867 
 
 A rather famous novel, giving a contemporary diagnosis of American feeling at the time of 
 
 the Civil War, particularly of the prejudices, animosities, and domestic troubles of the 
 rebels. We have the Southern father of Yankee proclivities, the Virginian colonel who 
 fights for the Federalists, and the Knickerbocker lieutenant with his amusing wit and 
 wickedness. The heroine, a pure-minded girl, loves a libertine colonel : the real hero 
 is the honest soldier who wins her later. Gives a full account of the campaign in the south- 
 west. [$1.50, Harper, New York: o.p.] 
 
 Kate Beaumont. 1871 
 
 A novel of Southern life, with a South Carolina vendetta, an obstacle to true love, as main- 
 spring of plot. Portrays the home life and social life of tjrpical people, the relations of 
 master and slave, etc., with satire of certain phases of Southern sentiment and prejudices 
 [50c., Estes, Boston : o.p.] 
 
 Overland. 1871 
 
 A story rich in travel pictures, containing also several originals among its minor characters, 
 
 and a variety of American types, Mexicans, Irish, Germans, Indians, and others. A 
 poetical narrative of a voyage through the terrible Great Canon is one of the purple patches. 
 [$i, Sheldon, New York: o.p.] 
 
 Justine's Lovers. 1878 
 
 An attempt to imitate the ordinary " woman's novel," which imposed on all the critics as 
 
 to the writer's sex. This sympathetic account of a young woman's experiences, particu- 
 larly of the feelings and motives determining her attitude towards marriage, is remarkable 
 for frank analysis of the female mind. Political affairs at Washington are the subject 
 of one episode, which is said to show personal animus, [o.p.] 
 
 Deming, Philander \h. 1829]. Adirondack Stories. 1880 
 
 Quiet, realistic stories, together giving a pretty full picture of Ufe in the wild Adirondack 
 region of northern New York. A typical one is Lisa Ann, the tender little story of a com- 
 monplace girl who elopes from her husband, a frothy, emotional revivalist. By hard work 
 and self-sacrifice he redeems his character, and the girl comes home. [75c., Houghton, 
 Boston.] ' 
 
 Tompkins; and other Folks. 1885 
 
 Simple stories and sketches of humble country folk, in the same vein. Tompkins is about a 
 
 girl who supports her lover in his college days, and dies before he learns of the debt. [$i, 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Doer, Juha Caroline [nee Ripley ; b. 1825]. In Kings' Houses : a Romance of the 
 
 Days of Queen Anne. 1898 
 
 A charming picture of life at Windsor early in the eighteenth century, drawing Queen Anne 
 
 and her intimates with a sympathetic touch, and rendering the manners and atmosphere 
 
 of the time with much art. [$1.50, 50c., Page, Boston; 6s., Duckworth.] 
 
 Dunbar, Paul Laurence [1872-1906]. Folks from Dixie. 1898 
 
 " Twelve stories which portray with insight the spiritual, moral, social, and domestic life of

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 " Dunning, Charlotte " [Charlotte Dunning Wood]. A Step Aside. 1886 
 
 The sequence of circumstances by which two persons of natural goodness and refinement, 
 a pair of lovers, are tempted into wrong acts and feel the burden of conscience even after 
 expiation and reconciliation. The scene is laid partly in New York and partly in the 
 Catskills. [?i.25, Houghton, Boston : o.p.] 
 
 Eggleston, Edward [1837-1902]. The Hoosier Schoolmaster. 1871 
 
 The lawless and homely pioneer life of Indiana (c. 1830-5), described by a man who was an 
 itinerant preacher in the West, and knew that life intimately. The schoolmaster boards 
 round among the farmers, and the story is about his love for a servant-girl whose mistress 
 wants him for her daughter. He is brutally persecuted by the settlers, but all is righted 
 eventually. [$1.50, Judd, New York; is., Routledge.] 
 
 The Circuit Rider : a Tale of the Heroic Age. 1874 
 
 The author was himself at one time a circuit rider among the Methodists. Full of incident, 
 the hero meeting with persecution, but getting ample reward in the end for his loyalty 
 and courage. [$1.50, 75c., Scribner, New York; is. 6d., Kelly.] 
 
 Roxy. 1878 
 
 Scenes of life in a town of Southern Indiana at the time of the Tippecanoe campaign (1811). 
 A story full of vigorous and picturesque incident, and at the same time a study of character 
 development in the heroine, Roxy. [$1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The McVeys: an Episode. 1888 
 
 Sketches of Illinois life a little later, loosely connected into a story by the reintroduction of 
 the same characters, showing the homely, colourless nature of prairie life, and displaying 
 the moral forces which were shaping it and which were destined to act powerfully in the 
 great national movement of the next generation. Abraham Lincoln, as a young advocate,

 powerfully still, of a captivating and unscrupulous girl who plays on his sensuous instincts. 
 From narrow orthodoxy the transition is quick to doubt and unbelief. [$1.50, Stone,

 Grant, Charles [1841-88]. Stories of Naples and the Camorra. 1897 
 
 Grant lived among the Neapolitans from 1 872 to 1 878. His affable and sympathetic disposition 
 ingratiated him, not only with the tradespeople or galant'uomini, but with the much more 
 exclusive lazzaroni, peasants and fisher-folk. A methodical observer, he sets down 
 honestly just what he sees, without any romantic bias. Peppiniello is a street boy living 
 from hand to mouth : no noveUst has explored a lower stratum of humanity. Gabriele, 
 the longest story, describes the tragedies that follow on any violation of the barrier between 
 the lazzaroni and the better classes. Don Antonio recounts the rise to authority of a Camor- 
 rist, and Domenico is a darker story of a ruffianly agent of the same formidable society, 
 into whose secret organization Grant seems to have won a completer insight than any 
 other foreigner. [With introductory memoir by J. B. Capper, I1.75, 6s., Macmillan: o.p.]

 The ante-matrimonial experiences of a fashionable girl in New York, particularly her behaviour 
 towards a trio of suitors, one of whom she marries after enjoying her fill of balls, flirtations,

 manners, along with the foibles of divers masculine types, are the object of the satire. 
 [50C., Houghton, Boston.]

 A homily on the obligation of patriotism, embodied in the fictitious memoirs of an American

 some Bits of Fact. 1868 
 
 Eleven stories and sketches, some humorous, some serious and to a certain extent didactic,

 be leaves out of the author's personal experience. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston.]

 A little story, full of vivacious humour, but with a serious meaning, viz. to sketch a practical

 civihzed people. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 414 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Hardy, Arthur Sherburne (continued). — His Daughter First. 1903 
 
 In the latest manner of Mr. Howells. The rather complicated and delicate relations — senti- 
 mental or financial — ^of four women and three men in New York and a country house in 
 New England — -one pair being a high-strung girl and her father who wants to marry 
 again — all set forth with the most sensitive manipulation of the fine shades of character 
 and motive. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Harland, Henry [" Sidney Luska " ; 1861-1905]. The Yoke of the Thorah. 
 
 1887 
 Probably the best of Harland's early stories, which were crude and violent sensation novels, 
 issued under the pseudonym of Sidney Luska. A strongly realistic study of Jewish life in 
 New York, particularly of German Jews. The young hero loves a Yankee girl, but his 
 religious and racial feelings are so worked upon by his uncle, a Rabbi, that he jilts her. 
 His marriage to a commonplace Jewess is followed by his intensely pathetic death. [$i, 
 50C. (3s. 6d., 2s.), CassellJ 
 
 Mea Culpa : a Woman's Last Word. 1891 
 
 An amusing book, though the end is profoundly tragic ; several of the characters are witty 
 or humorous, ■ especially the musician, Armadis. [50c., Street, New York.] 
 
 Grey Roses. 1895 
 
 At his most characteristic, Harland's stories are rather the light confectionery of the art than 
 
 serious novels ; but within their own limits they are delicately and seductively com- 
 pounded. [$1.25 (3s. 6d. n.), Lane.] 
 
 Comedies and Errors. 1898 
 
 Miscellaneous stories, gay or sad, delineating ordinary people of the world. The Queen's 
 
 Pleasure and The Invisible Prince deal with the possible humours and consolations of the 
 _ life of royalty. [Si. 50 (6s.), LaneJ 
 
 The Cardinal's Snuff-box. , 1900 
 
 This and the next are excellent illustrations of the note on Grey Roses. A novelist's love- 
 romance. He has made a heroine of a lovely girl whom he meets again as an Italian duchess, 
 widowed. He has thus unconsciously prepared the way for his courtship. [11,50 (6s.), Lane.] 
 
 The Lady Paramount. 1902 
 
 [1:1.50 (6s.), Lane.] 
 
 My Friend Prospero. 1904 
 
 The fairy-tale of two lovers made happy by a beneficent godmother, translated into terms of 
 
 modern Society life, a penniless English aristocrat meeting an Austrian princess in a wonder- 
 ful castle embosomed amongst remote Italian mountains. Sensuous description and 
 felicitous chatter are the chief material of the novel, in which manner far outweighs matter. 
 [$1.50 (6s.), LaneJ 
 
 Harris, Joel Chandler [1848-1908]. Uncle Remus. . 1881 
 
 A collection of folk-stories from Georgia in negro dialect. Uncle Remus, a shrewd and humorous 
 old negro, is a product of the plantation system, his mind a rich store of beast-fables, the 
 moral of which is always cunningly adapted to the foibles of his hearers. The hero of most 
 of the tales is Brer Rabbit, and Brer Fox usually comes off worst in the encounter of wits ; 
 in fact, the victory of craft over strength is the favourite motive, as in the mediaeval 
 beast-epic of Reynard the Fox. [$2, Appleton, New York ; is. 6d., is. n., Routledge; see 
 also seq.] 
 
 Nights with Uncle Remus. 1883 
 
 A further collection, in which the author begins to embroider more upon the primitive folk-

 peculiarity of dialect and distinctive personality. [$1.50, 50c., Houghton, Boston ;

 Familiar pictures of Georgian life before and after the Civil War. Portray the slave and his 
 
 master, and the various members of the slave-owning community, in a pleasant light,

 pathetic. [$i, Scribner, New York; is., Routledge.] 
 
 Balaam and His Master ; and other Sketches and Stories. 1891 
 
 Besides the title-story, contains Ananias, Mom Bi, The Old Bascom Place, and two others. 
 The melancholy and pathetic side of the negro character predominates in these stories, 
 which, however, present a great variety of types, e.g. the faithful and heroic Balaam and 
 Ananias, and the grotesque Mom Bi. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d., Harper, London.] 
 
 Uncle Remus and His Friends. 1892 
 
 A further series of fables by this rude and uncouth Georgian .Sisop. Brer Fox, Brer Rabbit, the

 traits. The character of the wily and good-natured old humourist is considerably developed.

 A shrewd and garrulous old negress, own sister to Uncle Remus, tells similar stories in the

 humour. [$1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 On the Wing of Occasions. 1900 
 
 Five stories of the times of the Civil War, including the exciting escape of a Southern spy 
 
 from New York, a plot to kidnap President Lincoln, and divers very attractive portraits

 incidents and accidental situations by the way. [$1.50, Century Co., New York.] 
 
 A Bachelor Maid. 1894 
 
 Attempts to apply sober common sense to the marriage question. The Bachelor Maid finds 
 her theories incompatible with human nature's needs, and surrenders at last to love and 
 marriage'. A good' specimen of this lady's light and facile pen. [$1.25, Century Co., 
 New York ; 2s., is. 6d., Unwin.]

 Harte, Francis Bret [1839-1902]. The Luck of Roaring Camp ; and other Sketches. 
 
 1870 
 Bret Harte's early stories are a unique record at first-hand of the strenuous, lawless times of 
 the gold rush in the 'fifties to the Pacific slope. He was a writer strongly akin to Dickens, 
 though not lacking in originality ; prone to melodrama, sentimental in his trick of seeing 
 the angel under the skin of wastrel and cut-throat ; admirably realistic in his power of 
 giving actuality to the most daring conceptions of character and romantic incident 
 The " Luck " is a babe whose coming among the brutal and uncivilized miners in the Cali- 
 fomian settlement makes their lives better and more humane. The Outcasts of Poker Flat, 
 Miggles, Tennessee's Partner, Mliss, and many others are vivid limelight pictures of the 
 gold-digging communities. Appended is a boisterous set of parodies, Sensation Novels 
 Condensed, ridiculing with clear, critical insight and cruel satire the masterpieces of many 
 of the famous novelists of the middle of the nineteenth century: see below. [$1.50,

 The former is an excellent series of parodies on Fenimore Cooper, Miss Braddon, Dumas, 
 Charlotte Bronte, Marryat, Hugo, Michelet, Lytton, Reade, Disraeli, Dickens, and others ; 
 the latter a less successful collection on Anthony Hope, Doyle, Caine, Kipling, Corelli, 
 and others, [(i) $1.25, Houghton, Boston ; is., Routledge; (2) $1.25, Houghton, Boston ;

 Flip ; and, Found at Blazing Star. 1872 
 
 A picturesque little romance, with a highly melodramatic conclusion. Flip is a half -wild, half- 
 clad virgin, living with her mad old father in the midst of mountains and forests, and 
 courted by a mysterious stranger. The ring " found at Blazing Star " is the beginning of 
 a mysterious series of incidents and of a love affair be'tween an ingenuous young digger and 
 a very smart girl ; this also closes in melodrama. [$i, Houghton, Boston ; 2s. 6d., 2s., 
 Chatto.] 
 
 Gabriel Conway. 1876 
 
 His one serious attempt to write a full-length novel. The sensations begin with the straits 
 of a party of settlers driven to cannibalism by famine, and culminate in an earthquake 
 which performs the functions of deus ex machina. Humorous scenes are interlaced with the 
 murders, lynching, miraculous escapes ; and a perplexing tangle of villainy, love and 
 jealousy, intrigue and counter-intrigue, is unravelled in an astonishing trial scene. Among 
 the characters that bear the stamp of Dickens may be singled out the fascinating desperado. 
 Jack Hamlin, and Colonel Starbottle, a swashbuckler advocate (both well known from 
 other novels) ; but the most original is Gabriel himself, stupid but self-forgetful. [$1.50, 
 Houghton, Boston ; 6s., 3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 In the Carquinez Woods. 1883 
 
 A story of the old melodramatic kind, but also a powerful rendering of the wonder and mystery 
 of the forest (the culminating scene a forest conflagration and stampede of beasts). The 
 heroine, a coarse, rowdy girl from the dancing-saloons, becomes, under the influence of love,

 a refined and gentle woman, capable of patient sufiering. Other characteristic figures 
 are the half-breed lover, of refined and tender nature, and the hypocritical Baptist minister. 
 [$1.50, |i, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d., Longman.] 
 
 Harte, Francis Bret {continued). — On the Frontier. 1884 
 
 Three tales. Left Out on Lone Star Mountain is a characteristic idyll, bringing out the lawless 
 impulses which were the natural result of the unrestrained life of the miners, and also the 
 innate sense of justice which gave them a code of their own administered by Judge Lynch. 
 Four disheartened diggers are plotting to desert their comrade when he discovers gold and 
 brings them the joyful intelligence, his unselfishness overwhelming them with penitence. 
 [$i, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Martija. 1885 
 
 A more sustained story, full of the usual violent contrasts and melodramatic surprises. The 
 heroine is half-Puritan, half- Spanish, a wild and wilful beauty, with a motley circle of 
 lovers, strongly coloured representatives of CaUfomian life. [$1.50, $1, Houghton, Boston ; 
 2s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 — The Crusade of the "Excelsior." 1887 
 A mixture of fantasy and realism, the plot arising from the arrival, by accident, of the American

 adventures, and with some exceedingly funny people. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d., 
 Chatto.] 
 
 — A PhylUs of the Sierras ; and, A Drift from Redwood Camp. 1888 
 
 The first story, which brings the old order and the new into strange juxtaposition, is about an 
 abortive love affair between an English baronet's son and a Western girl, the Englishman's 
 financial ruin, and his marriage to a blacksmith's daughter, now a millionaire. The 
 " Drift " is a weak and cowardly miner, who is carried on a river-flood among the 
 Indians and adopted by them as' heaven-sent chief. [?i, Houghton, Boston ; 2s. 6d., 2s., 
 Chatto.] 
 
 — Cressy. 1889 
 The love-story of the master and a pupil in a South Califomian school. Less desultory than

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Hawthorne, Julian [b. 1846 ; son of Nathaniel Hawthorne]. Garth. 1877 
 
 A much-elaborated story of country life in New Hampshire, going into the details of family 
 connections, and so assembling a large variety of characters. A painter's love-story is 
 the chief subject ; there are long talks on Swedenborgianism, etc. [$1.25, 50c., Appletou, 
 New York ; 3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto.] 
 
 Sebastian Strome. 1879 
 
 Strives " to tell of the birth and first infancy of a man's heart, and of sundry vicissitudes 
 befalUng other hearts in consequence thereof." A serious study of a strong but selfish 
 character, chastened to unselfishness by the consequences of his folly and crimes. The 
 simultaneous deaths of his father and a girl he had betrayed are two among many tragic 
 episodes. [?i.25, 50c., Appleton, New York; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Dust. 1883 
 
 Intricate plot based on the far-fetched idea of a man's act of self-sacrifice, whereby he shields

 with a magnificent voice in place of a prima donna who failed to appear. [Houghton, 
 Boston : o.p. ; 3s. 6d., 2S., Chatto.] 
 
 Hearn, Lafcadio [1850-1904]. Youma. 1890 
 
 The only regular novel written by this singularly sensitive interpreter of exotic moods and 
 characters. A picture of Martinique at the time of the negro insurrection in 1848 ; an 
 idyll closing in blood and horror. Youma is a devoted slave, who clings to her white charge 
 rather than to her negro lover. [?i. Harper, New York ; 5s., Low.]

 people and natives of Java, even to some extent reproducing the speech. [$1.50, Houghton, 
 Boston.] 
 
 HiGGiNSON, Thomas Wentworth [6. 1823]. Malbone : an Oldport Romance. 1869 
 
 An old-fashioned, leisurely novel ; scene, a venerable seaside town of New England, where 
 modem fashionable life comes into contact with the indigenous characters. Malbone 
 himself is a subtle and complex study of temperament ; and there is beauty in the charac- 
 ters of " Hope " and Emilia. [$1.50, Lee & Shepherd, Boston.]

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Holland, Josiah Gilbert [1819-81]. The Bay Path : a Tale of New England Colonial 
 Life. 1857 
 
 A story of the early settlers in the Connecticut valley (1638), aiming at quiet portraiture of 
 life and character rather than romance. A shrewd but obstinate man set down in a com- 
 munity of decorous and conventional people, and a foolish, excessively scrupulous minister, 
 are two of the characters who form points of interest. [$1.25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Miss Gilbert's Career: an American Story. i860 
 
 A study of contemporary life in a factory village, exhibiting with keen perception and lively 
 
 humour the virtues and foibles of Yankee character. [$1.25, Scribner, New York ; is. 6d.,

 Holmes, Oliver Wendell [1809-94]. The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table. 1858 
 
 Only in a limited sense a novel. The sayings, thoughts, and set discourses of a philosopher, 
 who holds forth on every chance topic to his fellow-lodgers in a boarding-house. Full of 
 alert wisdom, droll humour, and shrewd observation of life. The scraps of poetry are among 
 his finest verse. The character-sketches and the little love plot give the book a right to 
 be classed as fiction. [$1.50, $1 ; illustrated by Pyle, 2 vols., $5, Houghton, Boston; 
 IS. n. (New Universal Lib.), Routledge ; is. n. (Everyman's Lib.), Dent.] 
 
 The Professor at the Breakfast Table. 1859 
 
 The Poet at the Breakfast Table. 1872 
 
 The author characterized these as the wine squeezed out in the press after the first juice that 
 runs of itself from the fruit. They resemble the Autocrat in plan, the table-talk of an 
 omniscient pundit holding forth on general subjects, while a thread of story is woven into 
 the fabric, that of the Professor recalling episodes in Tristram Shandy, while in the Poet 
 there is less humour and more gravity. The whole series is steeped in the very winning 
 personality of Dr. Holmes — a personality akin to that of Charles Lamb — a characteristic 
 that makes them a thing unique, [(i) I1.50, $1, Houghton, Boston ; is. n. {New Univ. 
 Lib.), Routledge; is. n. (Everyman's Lib.), Dent; (2) $1.50, $1, Houghton, Boston; is.,

 Elsie Venner. 1861 
 
 A compound of faithful realism and of psychical fancy. A mother dies in childbirth through 
 a rattlesnake's bite, and the virus gives her child a serpentine character. This weird 
 idea is worked out amid the surroundings and characters of a commonplace village, sketched 
 with fidelity and humour. Elsie's love for a young schoolmaster, and a wild young fellow's 
 love for her, are the chief matters of the httle drama that precedes her untimely death. 
 [I1.50, Houghton, Boston; is. n., Routledge.] 
 
 The Guardian Angel. 1867 
 
 A psychological study of heredity and moral responsibility. In Myrtle Reed contradictory 
 instincts and aptitudes from diverse types of progenitors meet, her lower nature is at war 
 with her higher and the conflict throws her into a form of religious hysteria. The wise 
 student. Myrtle's guardian angel, Byles Gridle, the hypocritical minister Joseph Bellamy 
 Stokes, the humorous, gifted Hopkins, and other types are portrayed in the same analytical 
 fashion. [J1.50, Houghton, Boston ; is. n., Low.] 
 
 A Mortal Antipathy. 1885 
 
 A third novel of this experimental kind, another product of Dr. Holmes's medical speculations 
 on character and heredity. [I1.50, Houghton, Boston ; is., 2s., Douglas, Edinburgh.]

 village. [?i.25, Houghton, Boston ; is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Guenn : a Wave of the Breton Coast. 1883 
 
 A tragedy of love. A painter, passionately devoted to his art, takes for his model a beautiful 
 Breton maiden, and unwittingly wins her love, then goes away unconscious of the blow 
 he has struck. [I1.50, Houghton, Boston ; 2s., Warne.] 
 
 Howard, Blanche Willis, and William Sharps. A Fellowe and His Wife. 1892 
 
 Correspondence of a husband living in Germany and a wife studying art in Italy ; an absolutely

 Harper, London.] 
 
 Howe, Edgar Watson '[6. 1854]. The Story of a Country Town. 1883

 Scene, Southern California ; the authoress takes one of the mission Indians for her hero,

 occupations, and the religious observances. A tragic love-story. [$1.50, Little & Brown,

 Enthusiast. 1888 
 
 A boy of artistic nature is forced to live among humdrum English people. At seventeen he

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Janvier, Thomas AUibone (continued). — The Aztec Treasure-House : a Romance 
 of Contemporaneous Antiquity. 1890 
 
 Romance as adventurous as Rider Haggard's She. A professor of archaeology, a priest, a young 
 Mexican, and two Yankee railroad men discover an Aztec city, which has been miracu- 
 lously shut away in a mountain valley for a thousand years. A good deal of interesting 
 antiquarian lore is worked in. [$1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Jewett. Sarah Orne [1849-1909]. Deephaven. 1877 
 
 Quiet, undramatic character-drawing, in the manner of Cranford, of the old-world inhabitants 
 of a decayed seaport in New England, viewed by a pair of girls making holiday, who laugh, 
 not without kindly appreciation, at the quaint old people. Miss Jewett's humour and the 
 spirituality of her perceptions bring her very near to Hawthorne. [$1.25, Houghton, 
 Boston ; 3s. n.. Constable.] 
 
 Country By-Ways. 1881 
 
 Fragmentary reminiscences, glimpses of New England life and human nature, pervaded by 
 the same restful atmosphere and the placid charms of home and of homely affection. [$i .25, 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Mate of the "Daylight"; and, Friends Ashore. 1884 
 
 Sketches and studies, some budding into little incidents, others mere bits of still life. 
 A lowly New England King Lear is the subject of A Landless Farmer ; An Only Son is a 
 piece of restrained emotion ; and The New Parishioner is typical in its quiet interest. 
 [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 A Country Doctor. 1884 
 
 A Marsh Island. 1885 
 
 A White Heron. 1886 
 
 Simple, uneventful, and perhaps rather monotonous stories of quiet, beautiful life in rural 
 New England, portraits of old acquaintances, and loving pictures of common people, 
 interpreting their more elusive graces and bringing out the kindly side of the Puritan 
 character. [Ea. $1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The King of Folly Island ; and other People. 1888 
 
 A typical collection of Miss Jewett's best. The King is a misanthropic hermit, self-exiled 
 with his daughter on a barren islet, and his story shows the spiritual bent of Miss Jewett's 
 imagination, but hardly her humour. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d. n., Duckworth.] 
 
 Strangers and Wayfarers. 1890 
 
 Similar portraiture of New England folk, native types and also new-comers like the Irish ; 
 all pervaded with a gentle and charitable humour, e.g. The Town Poor, The Luck of the 
 Bogans, A Winter Courtship, By the Morning Boat. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston ; 5s., 
 Harper, London.] 
 
 A Native of Winby ; and other Tales. 1893 
 
 Less stories than sketches of pregnant situations, bringing out traits of temperament. The 
 Native describes the visit of a successful man, half shamefaced, half in self-display, to his 
 native village ; Decoration Day is a study of patriotic emotion ; The Passing of Sister 
 Barsett, a typical piece of New England life ; and there are two sketches of Irish New 
 Englanders, in which the broad speech accentuates the humour. [$1.25, Houghton, 
 Boston.] 
 
 The Country of the Pointed Firs. 1896 
 
 Further portraits and scenes of quiet life, rich in spiritual beauty aid in humour — the treasure- 
 trove of a summer holiday at a seaside village in Maine. The homely and old-fashioned 
 characters are among her finest drawings from the lif e^venerable old people who have kept 
 the freshness and innocence of youth ; shy, unsophisticated $nen ; women immersed in 
 household cares ; quaint originals, full of old-world graces, like -Jhe weather-beaten captain 
 with his tale of a spirit-city within the Arctic Circle, the herb-gatherer, and other childUke 
 Wordsworthian figures. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston; 5s., Uuwin.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Jewett, Sarah Ome (continued). — ^The Queen's Twin; and other Stories. 1899 
 
 The Queen's Twin is an old woman in MEiine, whose life has points of coincidence with Qijeen 
 Victoria's. All the tales show the same affectionate delight in quaint and gentle types of 
 humanity. The humorous sayings of the Irish women are expressed in the raciest dialect. 
 {I1.25, Houghton, Boston; gs., Smith & Elder.]

 — — Old Times in Middle Georgia. 1897 
 
 Fifteen stories by an able Southern novelist, describing with considerable monotony of char- 
 acter and motive, but not without humour, the petty social bickerings and more virulent 
 religious differences that coloured hfein Georgia in the first half of the nineteenth century. 
 Largely in a very grotesque and uncouth dialect. The preceding novels are characteristic 
 stories by Mr. Johnston. [$1.50, Macrnillan, New York: o.p.] 
 
 King, Grace Elizabeth [6. 1852]. Balcony Stories. 1893

 A lawyer engaged to a client falls in love with a pretty little girl who is opposed to her as 
 plaintiff in a will suit. The situation lasts long enough to bring out the character of this 
 able but selfish and feebly conscientious man, and is closed by his fiancee's discovery of 
 the fact, [fi, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 A Midsummer Madness. 1885 
 
 A picture of country-house life on the banks of the Delaware, an agreeable medley of 'love- 
 making, happy and careless existence, and sketches of nature. [$1.25, Houghton,

 Kirk, Ellen (continued). — The Story of Margaret Kent. 1886 
 
 A story of violent social contrasts, brisk in movement. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Queen Money. 1888 
 
 Phases of American life, showing the effects of the race for wealth upon a young man of simple, 
 refined tastes and worthy ideals, who had hitherto lived in the country. The moral aim 
 is not obtrusive ; and the world of brokers, financiers, plutocrats, and the quieter one of 
 intellectual people unaffected by the covetous passion, afford scope for character-drawing 
 and sober incident. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Story of Lawrence Garthe. 1894 
 
 Story of a man who makes a mistake in an early marriage, divorces his wife, and is rewarded 
 with happiness in his next venture. In the sub-plot the affairs of two other lovers are 
 related ; but the chief interest is in the character of the divorced wife, an intrepid and 
 brilliant adventuress, whose sins against the social code appear to no one more scandalous 
 than to her duenna, an advanced woman whose theories would sanction them all. There 
 is satire also in the chapter on the " Fin-de-Sidcle Club." Scene laid in New York. 
 [?i.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 KiRKLAND, Joseph. Zury, the Meanest Man in Spring County. 1887

 plot. [50c., Houghton, Boston : o.p.] 
 
 The McVeys : an Episode. 1888 
 
 Sketches of Illinois life a little later, connected into a slender story by the reappearance of the 
 same characters, illustrating the homely, colourless nature of the prairie life, and the moral 
 forces shaping it which were destined to act powerfully in the great national movement 
 of the next generation. Abraham Lincoln, the young advocate, plays an important part, 
 as in Eggleston's Graysons. The leading incidents refer to a young engine-driver, who is 
 aroused out of an immoral intrigue by a genuine passion for a womanly girl. [$1.25, 
 Houghton, Boston : o.p.] 
 
 Larned, Augusta [b. 1835]. Village Photographs. 1887 
 
 Sketches of a representative village of New England ; realistic though not offensively frank. 
 Altogether they form an almost exhaustive account of a rustic community, the hfe-histories 
 of a large number of people being related as they appear to the neighbours, illustrating 
 how little real privacy there is in such a little world. Feminine characters predominate. 
 [$1.75, Holt, New York: o.p.] 
 
 Lathrop, George Parsons. In the Distance. 1882 
 
 A recondite, imaginative conception is the basis of this story, the great hill Monadnoc " in the 
 distance " deeply influencing the lives of Edith and her lovers in their holiday-resort among 
 the mountains. [?i, Scribner, New York: o.p.] 
 
 An Echo of Passion. 1884 
 
 A painful episode in the Uf e of a young married couple, the motives worked out strictly by the 
 laws of causation so as to give a truthful rendering of spiritual conflict. [75c., Scribner, 
 New York ; is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Would You KiU Him ? 1890 
 
 Holsclaw, the subject of what seems to be a plea against capital punishment, is a well-inten- 
 tioned, but somewhat weak man, who with very little blame attaching to himself, sees his 
 married life about to be wrecked by the sudden disclosure of an old engagement he had 
 concealed. In a violent dispute he accidentally kills the person threatening him ; hence 
 the title. [?i.25. Harper, New York.] 
 
 Lee, Mary Catherine [nee Jenkins]. A Soulless Singer. 1895 
 
 An accomplished singer, whose one deficiency is lack of passion, acquires this last element of 
 power by falling in love. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 424 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Lowell, Robert Traill Spence [1816-91]. The New Priest in Conception Bay. 
 
 1858 
 
 A poet and evangelist's story of Newfoundland people and their deeply religious character. 
 
 The discussions of church government and theology are prolix, but involve some humorous 
 
 presentation of character. The sea, the skies, and the lonely shores of the island, the scene of 
 
 theauthor's pastoral labours, are lovingly depicted. [Si. 75, Button, New York (1889) : o.p.] 
 
 McClelland, Margaret Greenway. Oblivion. 1885 
 
 Picturesque delineation of manners and character among the villagers of the North Carolina 
 mountains. A terrible occurrence destroys the memory of a lady who is travelling in the 
 locality ; she lives among the country people, and innocently becomes engaged to a pas- 
 sionate lover, before the memory of home and husband is restored. [$i, U.S. Book Co., 
 New York : o.p.] 
 
 Jean Monteith. 1887

 Moore, Susan Teackle. Ryle's Open Gate. 1891 
 
 Life in an out-of-the-way village in Long Island ; the characters of natives and aliens delineated

 Phelps, Elizabeth Stuart [Mrs. Herbert Dickinson Ward ; 1844-1911]. The Gates 
 Ajar. 1868 
 
 A religious story, detailing in the form of a diary the meditations and aspirations of a girl who 
 has lost a beloved brother. The hope of immortality and the nature of the future hfe are 
 the principal themes, and the writer ventures on imaginative glimpses into the celestial 
 paradise, where she imagines the interests and occupations of terrestrial existence will be 
 carried on. Appearing soon after the Civil War, when many were mourning relatives, the 
 book leapt into extraordinary popularity. [51.50, Houghton, Boston ; 2S., is. 6d., is., 
 Routledge.] 
 
 Men, Women and Ghosts. 1869 
 
 Miscellaneous tales of which the predominant qualities are simplicity and sympathy. Ken- 
 tucky's Ghost is a thriUing ghost-story ; and In the Gray Goth, an affecting incident of life 
 among the lumbermen of the Maine forests. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Silent Partner. 1871 
 
 A philanthropical novel, dealing with the wrongs of labour in New England. The heroine, 
 a child of wealth and luxury, is aroused to her responsibilities as sleeping partner in an 
 industrial firm, and devotes her life henceforward to the betterment of the workpeople. 
 [$1.20, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Story of Avis. 1877 
 
 Memoirs of a married pair in a university town. The wife sacrifices a brilUant future as a 
 painter to a husband of good intentions but feeble will, who is incapable of appreciating 
 the nobihty of her character. A drama of broken ideals, of a high soul disillusioned, but 
 humanized by another's weakness ; the end melancholy, yet full of peace and reconciliation. 
 [I1.50, Houghton, Boston ; 2S. 6d., 2S., Routledge : o.p.] 
 
 An Old Maid's Paradise. 1879 
 
 A simple tale of everyday summer life in a seaside cottage. The troubles of furnishing, the 
 
 perplexities of housekeeping, the antics of a terrier, the idiosyncrasies of three or four 
 homely people ; there is nothing else in the book. [With Burglars in Paradise, $1.25, 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Burglars in Paradise [sequel]. 1886 
 
 A comic sequel to the preceding, keeping up the same realistic sketching and portraiture, but 
 introducing a series of burlesque incidents. [See An Old Maid's Paradise.] 
 
 42s 
 
AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Phelps, Elizabeth Stuart (continued).— rFxiends : a Duet. 1881 
 
 A tender-hearted woman, losing a beloved husband, marries his and her own most intimate 
 friend. A study of " the patient renewals of life, the slow gathering of wasted forces."

 Doctor Zay. 1882 
 
 A plea for women's right to the higher education and to an independent career. Doctor Zay 
 
 is a high-minded girl who earns her own living as a physician. The main interest is in the 
 gradual influence of her steadfast character on a weak and aimless young man, whom she 
 gradually lifts to her own level, and, after many repulses, grows to love. [I1.25, Houghton, 
 Boston.] 
 
 Beyond the Gates. 1883 
 
 The Gates Between. 1887 
 
 These elaborate the rather crude idea of her first book. The Gates Afar. A woman falls into a 
 trance after a fever, and dreams she is in heaven. She thinks she passes several years in the 
 Celestial City, which is a sort of Utopia described in a minute and familiar manner, and 
 that she meets with people famous in history. [Each ?i.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Fourteen to One. 1891 
 
 A dozen short, homely stories. Jack the Fisherman (1887) is a history of a hereditary drunkard, 
 
 whose spasmodic efforts to reform cannot ward off the final tragedy. The Madonna of the 
 Tubs (1886) is also a tale of fisher-folk, describing a petty quarrel which widens almost to 
 the dimensions of a tragedy. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Though Life us do Part. 1908 
 
 A doctor at a New England seaside place, his wife who is his social superior, his patients with 
 
 whom he flirts, etc. When matters reach a critical point the doctor enlists for the Spanish 
 War, and is reported killed, but this is only the beginning of the plot-business. [$1.50, 
 Houghton, Boston ; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 The Oath of Allegiance ; and other Stories. 1909 
 
 Eleven short stories. [Si. 50 n., Houghton, Boston; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 Pool, Maria Louise [d. 1898]. Dally. 1891 
 
 Tells the story of a poor girl of North Carolina, rescued from poverty and squalor, and brought 
 up by a Yankee widow of sterling benevolence and probity. The talk is in dialect, and there 
 are amusing incidents. [$1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Roweny in Boston. 1892 
 
 Mrs. Keats Bradford [sequeT\. 1892 
 
 Practically the continuous biography of a New England girl, who goes to Boston to learn 
 
 painting, and proceeds to a wider sphere in Paris, where she marries a Bostonian, then 
 leaves him because marriage interferes with her art, but is ultimately reconciled. [I1.25, 
 Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Two Salomes. 1893 
 
 Out of Step [sequel]. 1894 
 
 A bizarre psychological idea is the motive — a conscientious girl losing, or believing she has 
 lost, her sense of right and wrong. A good deal of local colour from New England and 
 Florida; and some droll and pathetic passages. [Ea. ?i.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 ^— In a Dyke Shanty. 1896 
 
 Story of an outing ; a series of strongly accented individuals, with their several love-stories. 
 [$1.25, Stone, Chicago; 75c., Page, Boston.] 
 
 A Golden Sorrow. 1898 
 
 Tragic history of a marriage for money. A pleasure-loving girl, who is made by her mother

 426 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Prentiss, Elizabeth [weePayson ; 1818-78]. Stepping Heavenward, [juvenile] 1869 
 
 The best of a series of once very popular stories, having a distinctly religious purpose (sequel 
 to Pressing Forward : o.p.). The insistence upon piety makes them a little distasteful, 
 perhaps, to modem children. [?i, 50c., Hurst, New York; 2s., is. 6d., is., Routledge.] 
 Another popular book by the same author is Aunt Jane's Hero. [Amer. Edn. : o.p. ; 2S., 
 IS. 6d., IS., Routledge.] 
 
 Prince, Helen [nee Choate ; 6. 1857]. A Transatlantic Chatelaine. 1897

 through life, her devoted maid, the fascinating adventuress, and the dignified and pathetic 
 Madame de la Roche. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Remington, Frederic [d. 1909]. Crooked Trails. 1898 
 
 Men with the Bark on. 1900 
 
 Lifelike and forcible sketches of wild, rough life in Cuba and on the western frontier, both 
 collections illustrated by the author, who was a famous artist, [(i) $2, {2) $1.25, Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 Rives, Amelie [Mrs. J. A. Chanler, now Princess Troubetzkoy ; b. 1863]. Virginia 
 of Virgiaia. 1888 
 
 An emotional story of passion, the chief figure being a half-savage girl, who atones for a sin 
 by a deed of splendid generosity. [$1.25, Harper, New York ; 2S., Routledge.] 
 
 The Quick or the Dead. 1889 
 
 A frank exposure of the doubts, hesitations, and repulsions of a young widow, who has loved 
 her husband deeply, and now finds herself falling hopelessly in love with his younger cousin, 
 who is his very image. [$i, Lippincott, Philadelphia ; 6d., Routledge.] 
 
 Barbara Bering [sequel]. 1893 
 
 A study of problems rather than of people, similarly frank in portrayal of passion, and of 
 interest as a woman's view of the other sex. [$1.25, Lippincott, Philadelphia; 3s. 6d , 
 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 Tanis, the Sang-Digger. 1894 
 
 A wild, passionate girl of the Southern mountains, and her awakening to more spiritual ideas 
 of love — a savage nature fighting against its lower impulses. The barbarous dialect is 
 reproduced. [$1.50, Town Topics Pub. Co., New York.] 
 
 Roberts, Charles Humphrey [b. 1847]. Down the 0-hi-o. 1891 
 
 Presents a series of vivid scenes of rural life among the Quakers on the north bank of the 
 Ohio in the period just before the Civil War. [$1.25, McClurg, Chicago : o.p.] 
 
 Robertson, Morgan [b. 1861]. Spun Yarn. 1898 
 
 Nautical yams of a realistic kind belonging to the school of Marryat and Michael Scott, but 
 strongly influenced by Kipling : tales of action and misadventure, curious psychical 
 experiences, stories of modem mechanism, warships, and sea-fights. A contrast is sug- 
 gested between the brutal tyranny of the mercantile marine and the republican discipline 
 of the Navy. Chiefly grim and brutal themes. [$1.25, Harper, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Masters of Men : a Romance of the New Navy. 1901 
 
 [$1.50, Doubleday, New York.] 
 
 Robinson, Rowland E. [1833-1900]. Sam Level's Camps ; Uncle 'Lisha's Friends 
 under Bark and Canvas. 1889 
 
 Yams and pictures of outdoor life and character portraits. The dialect is so closely and phoneti- 
 cally reproduced that Vermonters alone can fully appreciate its curious expressiveness. 
 [I1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Dan vis Folks. 1894 
 
 The same villagers of the beautiful region bordering on Lake Champlain, which is described 
 with all the passion and observation of a nature-lover. Rural gossips, true Yankees (of 
 the Vermont blend), honest, virile, and humorous characters ; written in dialect. [I1.25, 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 427 
 
AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Robinson, Rowland E. (continued). — Uncle 'Lisha's Shop. 1897 
 
 Slightly connected sketches and dialogues portraying a set of originals who meet in a shoe- 
 maker's shop in a Vermont village. The talk is unadulterated Yankee, and the book 
 racy of the soil. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Sartoris, Mrs. Adelaide [nee Kemble ; 1814-79]. A Week in a French Country 
 House. 1867 
 
 The writer — Adelaide Kemble, the singer — says, " The papers are descriptions of places and 
 things which I have seen and people whom I know." She sketches every person met with 
 at Marny in a humorous, delicate, yet incisive manner that makes them wonderfully 
 alive and individual. Her work has been justly compared with that of her editor, the 
 authoress of The House on the Cliff. [American edn. : o.p. Illustrated by Lord Leighton 
 with Mrs. Richmond Ritchie, 7s. 6d., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Savage, Col. Richard Henry [1846-1903]. My Official Wife. 1891 
 
 A fair specimen of this author's fiction. A beautiful young lady in need of a passport journeys 
 to Russia with a middle-aged and amorous Yankee colonel, disguised as his wife : low 
 comedy mixed with sensation. [$i, 50c:, Home Pub. Co., New York ; is. n., Routledge.]

 tragic results. [75c., Putnam, New York : o.p.]

 Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — The Sprightly Romance of Marsac. 1896 
 
 A lively little story that is almost a farce ; impossibilities made plausible, incessant action and 
 animated dialogue being its characteristics. The dramatis personts are a small group of 
 Parisians. [$1.25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 — Francezka. 1902 
 
 A tragic romance, with a spirited and well-informed portrayal of Marshal Saxe, Adrienne

 La More Press.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Sheldon, Rev. Charles Monroe [b. 1857]. John King's Question Class. 1899 
 
 A didactic novel explaining the author's ideas on living for the glory of God, on political and 
 social abuses, on private vices (smoking, etc.), by means of a parson's replies to questions 
 put by his pupils. The career of a girl who has a genius for music runs through these 
 scenes. Specimen of a large series of once strangely popular didactic novels. [75c., 
 Grosset, New York ; 2s. 6d., 2s., Heinemann.]

 The Puritan heroine settles as artist in an old New England city, and determines to win a

 Catholicism is pictured." [?i.25. Harper, New York.] 
 
 Slosson, Annie [nee Trumbull ; b. 1838]. Seven Dreamers. 1891 
 
 An account in rich dialect of various eccentrics, or people with a touch of mania. In the six 
 tales that follow a set of rustic visionaries are portrayed, so as to show the psychical 
 value of such phases of mental history. [$1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Heresy of Mehetabel Clark. 1892 
 
 The backslidings of this young woman from strict Calvinist doctrines are described in rich 
 New England dialect by an old farmer who does not agree with her. [75c., Harper, New 
 York : o.p.] 
 
 Dumb Foxglove ; and other Stories. 1898 
 
 Fantastic stories of New England, e.g. an old woman appears by mistake as chief mourner 
 at a stranger's funeral, and is changed in consequence for life. [$1.25 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 Spinner, Alice. A Study in Colour. 1894 
 
 Stories, or reminiscences, of the writer's residence on a West Indian island, chiefly concerned

 Chatto.] 
 
 Captain Ravenshaw ; or. The Maid of Cheapside. 1901 
 
 An excellent picture of Elizabethan London. [75c., Page, Boston ; 6s., Ward & Lock.]

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Stephens, Robert Neilson (continued). — The Continental Dragoon. 1901 
 
 A love-story of Philipse Manor House (1778). [$1.25, Page, Boston ■ 50c., Claflin, New

 Stevens, A. de Grasse. Old Boston. [juvenile] 1884 
 
 A kindly, appealing story of the days of the siege of Boston and the outbreak of the War of 
 
 Independence {1773-6), thoroughly feminine in its sentiment and leisurely garruUty. 
 
 George Washington, Warren, and others are introduced. [$i n., Scribner, New York ; 
 
 2S. 6d., G. Allen.] 
 
 Stimson, Frederic Jesup [b. 1855]. King Noanett : a Story of Devon Settlers in Old

 The humorous experiences of a young couple who begin housekeeping in a derelict barge, 
 and retain the name of " Rudder Grange " when they move to a more stable dwelling. This 
 pair, their servant Pomona, and the lodger are average characters drawn to the life, 
 and the drollery rises spontaneously out of unstrained and ordinary situations. (Sequel, 
 The Rudder Grangers Abroad, $1.25, Scribner, New York.) [$1.25, Scribner, New York; 6d., 
 Routledge ; is., Douglas, Edinburgh. Illusiraiedhy A. B. Frost, $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Lady or the Tiger ; and other Stories. 1884 
 
 Ingenious stories, sparking with wit and covert satire, with comic surprises and irrelevant fun. 
 
 The title-story, with its unexpected conclusion, is a masterpiece of elaborate wit, and 
 The Remarkable Wreck of Thomas Hyke is a good example of Stockton's cool, realistic 
 handling of the marvellous. [$1.25, Scribner, New York; is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 The Casting Away of Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. Aleshine. 1886 
 
 The absurd Crusoe adventures of two prosaic matrons ; their methodical life on a desert isle, 
 
 where they keep house as calmly and composedly as if they were at home in New England, 
 set forth in a matter-of-fact manner that reads like a parody of Defoe. [With The Dusantes, 
 $1.50, Century Co., New York ; is.. Low : o.p.] 
 
 The Dusantes [sequel]. 1888 
 
 Adventures of the same party on the way home, when they get snow-bound in a stage-coach 
 
 on a mountain road, and have to camp out in the vehicle. [See The Casting Away of 
 Mrs. Leeks ; is.. Low.] 
 
 The Late Mrs. Null. 1886 
 
 Another absurd story, told with a matter-of-fact gravity which ignores the illogical nature of 
 the characters and their relations to each other. The negro parts have the most spontaneous 
 humour; Aunt Patsy and the Jerusalem Jump are inimitable. [I1.25, Scribner, New 
 York ; 6s., 2s. 6d., Low.] 
 
 The Hundredth Man. 1887 
 
 A combination of fun and seriousness ; two stories intertwined, the one farcical, about a waiters' 
 
 strike in a New York restaurant, the other, in places very pathetic, dealing with the 
 deliberate and effectual attempt of a social theorist to break off an engagement between 
 a pretty girl and a man he thinks unworthy of her. [?i.50. Century Co., New York; 
 6s., 2S. 6d., Low.] 
 
 The Squirrel Inn. 189 1 
 
 An eccentric landlord of independent means, a scholar engaged in translating Dickens into

 ends in three weddings. [?i.25, Century Co., New York ; 6s., 2S. 6d., Low.]

 Stockton, Francis Richard (continued). — Pomona's Travels. 1894 
 
 The staid and capable handmaid of the Rudder Grangers marries, and goes on a wedding 
 trip through England and Scotland. Her journal hits off the characters of places and 
 peoples with shrewdness and dry humour, her imperturbable common sense being a peren- 
 nial source of amusement. [$1.50, Scribner, New York ; 3s. 6d., Cassell.] 
 
 The Adventures of Captain Horn. 1895 
 
 A characteristic story of a quest for a treasure of the Incas, the interest dependent chiefly 
 on Stockton's farcical handling of character. [$1.50, Scribner, New York; 3s. 6d., 
 Cassell.] 
 
 Mrs. Cliff's Yacht {sequeT\. 1896 
 
 What is Mrs. Cliff to do with her millions ? The question is worked out with the usual droll 
 and paradoxical situations, which culminate in this plain and matter-of-fact old lady's 
 going off in command of a steam yacht, manned by a synod of clergymen, fully armed, 
 in pursuit of a treasure-ship captured by pirates. [$1.50, Scribner, New York; 6d., 
 Cassell.] 
 
 ■ — — The Girl at Cobhurst. 1898 
 
 Cobhurst, a ramshackle farm, becomes the property of a marriageable young man, whose 
 matrimonial destinies are the object of intrigue and counter-intrigue between an 
 eccentric old spinster and an autocratic cook, giving rise to a droll series of topsy-turvv 
 situations. Mild farce, with some felicitous sketches of character. [$1.50, Scribner, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Associate Hermits. 1898 
 
 An animated comedy representing the many droll adventures of an elderly couple and a pretty 
 girl who spend a holiday camping out. [$1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 A Bicycle of Cathay. 1900 
 
 An amusing story of a village schoolmaster who goes on a cycling tour and falls in love with 
 every girl he meets, with other amusing adventures. Superficially resembles Mr. Wells's 
 Wheels of Chance. [$1.50 (5s.), Harper.]

 Eleven short stories characteristic of Mr. Stockton in their mixture of fantasy and realism. 
 Three are ghost stories. These and the others sketch American characters and manners 
 in a life-like way. The Buller-Peddington Compact puts before us a pair of crotchety friends, 
 and the mule story gives a graphic picture of old New Orleans. [$1.50, Scribner, New 
 York ; 6s., Cassell.] 
 
 Stoddard, William Osborn [6. 1835]. Guert Ten Eyck. [juvenile] 1893

 excellent stories for boys. [?i.25, Lothrop, Boston.]

 Stowe, Harriet EUzabeth \nee Beecher ; 1812-96]. Uncle Tom's Cabin. 1852 
 
 An historic exposure of the barbarities of slavery, which did incalculable service for emancir 
 pation : a highly emotional book, as befitted its purpose. The characters are strongly 
 accentuated types of virtue and villainy, e.g. Uncle Tom, Topsy, Eva, Harris, and the brutal 
 Legree ; scenes, like the flogging to death, which were intended to appeal to pubhc com- 
 passion, are relieved by passages of a tenderer pathos and a hvely humour. [$1.50, |i,

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Stowe, Harriet Elizabeth [continued). — Dred: a Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp. 
 
 1856 
 
 Another anti-slavery manifesto, couched in the form of a novel, with another strong creation 
 in Old Tiff. Dred, the runaway slave, is a wearisome ranter. The book preaches indirectly 
 true ideals of humanity and religion, while satirizing bigotry and fanaticism. A new 
 edition was published in 1866, called Nina Gordon. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Minister's Wooing. 1859 
 
 A semi-historical picture of the manners and character of Newport people early in the nine- 
 teenth century, especially of their Puritanical life and sombre religious creed. Dr. Hopkins 
 and Captain Aaron Burr were actual persons. The Doctor is about to marry his pupil, 
 the heroine, when her sailor lover appears, and he magnanimously releases her. [$1.50, 
 Houghton, Boston ; 2S. 6d. n., 2s., Low.] 
 
 The Pearl of Orr's Island : a Story of the Coast of Maine. 1861 
 
 Chiefly quiet portraiture of a set of Puritan folk, pious, solemn, and honest, and somewhat 
 dull ; their dullness the target for mild satire. There are thrilling episodes, but most of 
 the story is very sober, ordinary love matters and wedded life, unconsciously humorous 
 talk, and the diverting eccentricities of an attractive person. Miss Roxy, and of an uncon- 
 verted original. Captain Kettridge. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston; 2s. 6d. n.. Low.] 
 
 Agnes of Sorrento. 1862 
 
 A nobleman's love for a girl of the people, whose sterling piety is offended by his infidelity 
 
 to the Church. Minute delineation of mediasval society, religious and political movements, 
 pictures of monastic life, etc. Savonarola's crusade and death form an important episode 
 (c. 1492-8). [$1.50, Houghton, Boston ; 2s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 Oldtown Folks. 1869 
 
 Sam Lawson's Oldtown Fireside Stories. 1872 
 
 Portraiture of bygone society (about 1800), characters and manners in a Massachusetts village 
 
 (in Norfolk County), comprising many types — Indians, Hibernians, English, Puritan 
 home life, and ghosts. [Ea. SI1.50, Houghton, Boston; (i) 2s. 6d. n., 2s., Low.] 
 
 Stuart, Ruth \nee McEnery]. The Golden Wedding ; and other Tales. 1893 
 
 The pathetic and humorous aspects of negro life in the Southern States presented with sym- 
 pathy. The title-story is a good example of the pathos, and The Wilder Johnsing of the 
 fun. [$1.50, Harper, New York: o.p.] 
 
 Mr. Simpkinsville : Character Tales. 1897 
 
 Moriah's Mourning ; and other Half-hour Sketches. 1898 
 
 Seven and thirteen short stories respectively, chiefly about the South and the negro. [Ea. 
 
 ?i.25. Harper, New York.] 
 
 Sturgis, Julian Russell [i 848-1 904]. John-a-Dreams. 1878 
 
 The biography of a wealthy young man whose character is too earnest to be satisfied with the 
 empty life of fashionable society, or by the specious ideals of culture that allure young men 
 fresh from the university. Scenes of boyhood at home, school-life at Eton, coUege-Ufe at 
 Oxford, and highly satirical sketches of Society. The inner life of thought and feeling 
 is revealed with art, the pathos is subdued but very real ; the urbane and graceful style 
 that of a scholar and a man of the world. [3s. 6d., Blackwood.] 
 
 Dick's Wandering. 1882 
 
 Dick's boyhood, his political ambitions, love for a pretty American, and, after various mis- 
 understandings, his marriage, bring on the stage a number of characters, who are sketched 
 with " a keen eye for the subtleties and demi-tints of modem individuaUty." [75c., 
 Appleton, New York : o.p. ; 3 vols., 31s. 6d., Blackwood : o.p.] Sturgis also wrote. 
 An Accomplished Gentleman (tSyg) , Little Comedies (1880), dramatic dialogues in his most 
 refined style. Comedies New and Old (1882), My Friends and I (1884), John Maidment 
 (1885), Meldom (1887), The Comedy of a Country House (1889), Ajter Twenty Years (1892), 
 and .4 Master of Fortune (1896). 
 
 The Folly of Pen Harrington. 1897 
 
 Pen is a masterful yet maidenly young lady, whose sincerity and energy of character get 
 
 her into an embarrassing position ; this loses her a fianci whom she loves not, and wins her 
 a genuine man. Light and delicate satire ; conversation marked by quiet play of wit. 
 [$i, Appleton, New York : o.p. ; 6s., Constable.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Sturgis, Julian Russell (continued). — Stephen Calinari. 1901 
 
 In the gradual and minute working out of the changes in the mental and moral attitude of a 
 young man, whose character is rather unusual, resembles his early success, John-a-Dreams. 
 There are some finished portraits among the minor characters ; the Coops are decidedly 
 humorous and original, Jowett is well drawn in the Oxford chapters. Careful workmanship 
 and refined, cultivated style are the best qualities of all these novels. [$1.50, Scribner, 
 New York ; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 Sullivan, James William [b. 1848]. Tenement Tales of New York. 1894 
 
 A series of miniatures painted in abodes of poverty by a devoted social reformer, who is a 
 strong advocate of Swiss political methods. Touches of fun and mischief light up the pre- 
 vailing sadness. [75c., Holt, New York.] 
 
 Taylor, Bayard [1825-78]. Hannah Thurston. 1864 
 
 Hannah is an advocate of woman's rights, who devotes her life to her mission as lecturer on 
 the woman question, but unfortunately meets a man who awakens love. The story teems 
 with fruitful ideas. [$1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 Joseph and his Friend. 1870 
 
 A quiet story of homely life in rural Pennsylvania, the author's own country ; like the former, 
 abounding in fine ideas and rich in local colour. [$1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 "Thanet, Octave" [Alice French; b. 1850]. Knitters in the Sun. 1887 
 
 Realistic stories with a strong ethical trend, exhibiting people of marked character in the stress

 Otto is a " knight of labour." Intimate and artistic studies of Arkansas life ; same class of 
 subjects as the foregoing and the following. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Stories of a Western Town. 1893 
 
 Workaday life in Iowa, presented from the standpoint of the people themselves, the 
 business trials, the injustices caused by competition strongly emphasized. The Face of 
 Failure sketches an honest man who fails because he thinks other men as honest as 
 himself ; Tommy and Thomas is the story of an ambitious boy who becomes an eloquent — 
 and honest — politician. [$1.25, Scribner, New York; 6s., Low.] 
 
 The Missionary Sheriff : Incidents in the Life of a Plain Man who tried to do 
 
 his Duty. 1897 
 
 Six anecdotes of the Sheriff, or head of the police, in a country-town of Iowa, a man of sterling 
 worth, sagacity, and Christian zeal. In the first story he saves the soul of a young felon, 
 and keeps the knowledge of her son's disgrace from the poor old mother. In another, 
 he arrests a scamp on the point of marrjdng a hypnotized girl ; in His Duty he kills a 
 band of Indians, and saves a family from massacre. In the last story the Sheriff is out- 
 witted, but marries the girl of?his heart. [$1.25 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 The Heart of Toil. 1898 
 
 Realistic stories of labour struggles in Illinois and Iowa, illustrating the hard lot of the striker 
 and his half-starved family. In The Non-Combatant an inoffensive man is brought to the 
 verge of ruin between the warring forces, though he has sympathies with both sides. 
 The Way 0/ an Election is a sketch of political characters, the venal stump-orator; the wire- 
 puller, and the conscientious labour leader. The Conscience 0] a Business Man is a pathetic 
 tale of a strike. [$1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Thompson, N. P. The Rangers. 1851 
 
 Western campaigns of George Rogers Clarke (1779), by which the Lake regions were cut away

 The Three Scouts. [juvenile] 1865 
 
 Tennessee in the war-time. [$1.50, Lee & Shepard, Boston.] 
 
 Coupon Bonds ; and other Stories. 1873 
 
 Stories of rustic New England folk, bringing out their racy idiosyncrasies. The masterpiece 
 of the book is The Man Who Stole the Meeting House ; and the character of old Jedwort, 
 so wrong-headed and reckless and so humorous, is an embodiment of native qualities. 
 The stories are really little comedies, ingeniously plotted, and making artful use of coinci- 
 dence and surprise, [fi.50, Lee & Shepard, Boston.] 
 
 Trumbull, Annie Elliot. A Cape Cod Week. 1898 
 
 Account of a seaside holiday undertaken by a partj' of American girls, who have many amusing 
 adventures in their amateur housekeeping, and discourse funnily about Boston, culture, 
 and other topics. [?i, Barnes, New York; 5s., AUenson.] 
 
 Tucker, George Fox. A Quaker Home. 1891 
 
 The intimacies of Quaker life. In autobiographical form, tells how a boy nurtured in the precise 
 
 rules of the sect grew into a man of the world (not by any means into a wicked man), 
 
 chiefly as the result of his love for a girl who was herself not far removed from Quakerism.

 The Innocents Abroad ; or, The New Pilgrim's Progress. 1869 
 
 His first success, though he had published his Celebrated Jumping Frog and other sketches in 
 1867. A comic travel-book of the Mediterranean and the adjacent countries. A party of 
 Yankee Innocents adopt the rSle of cold-blooded Philistines with no reverence for the 
 works of art and antiquity, the historical and sacred memorials about which the senti- 
 mental tourist raves, guide-book in hand. A satire on the " high-falutin " American 
 globe-trotter, and a free display of Mark Twain's bold and extravagant humour. [$2, 
 Harper, New York ; 3s. 6d., Chatto. Illustrated Edn., $3.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Roughing It at Home and Abroad. 1872 
 
 Genial sketches of rough-hewn character and lawless life in the mining camps of Nevada, 
 where the author was seeking his fortune in the early 'sixties. [$2, Harper, New York; 
 (with Innocents at Home) 3s. 6d., Chatto. Illustrated Edn., $3.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. 1876 
 
 Tom Sawyer Abroad [sequel]. 1894 
 
 Tom Sawyer, Detective [sequel]. 1897 
 
 Tom is the perfect example of the bad boy who is essentially a good boy. This is, in fact, 
 the Tom Jones of boyhood, and the distinction is set off by the pattern good boy Sid — 
 albeit overdone and impossible — ^who is a sneak. In the adventures of Tom and Huck 
 on the Mississippi, a regular boy's saga, we have what may be called real romance ; what 
 reads like burlesque is, indeed, far more romantic than the Indian Joe melodrama and the 
 real treasure. The fun admirable, the satire of the extravagant kind in which Twain 
 revelled. [Ea. $1.75, Harper, New York; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 A Tramp Abroad. 1880 
 
 ■ More Tramps Abroad. 1897

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 going — humorous impressionism they might be called. They are full of broad jokes, 
 hilarious incidents, and mock-serious criticism, affecting the same impervious Philistinism 
 as the Innocents ; yet a piercing common sense that looks below the surface and detects 
 real absurdities, pretences, and hypocrisies is quite as patent a quality as the humour,

 "Twain, Mark" [continued). — ^The Prince and the Pauper. 1881 
 
 A fantasia : how Prince Edward (VI) , in Henry VIII's reign, changed positions with a beggar. 
 
 and what came of it. Realistic in presenting mediaeval Ufe, showing up its selfishness, 
 
 cruelty, and barbarism, as an antidote to the high romantic style. [$1.75, Harper, New 
 
 York; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 The Stolen White Elephant. 1882 
 
 New and old stories ; among the new The Invalid's Story is a very characteristic chapter. 
 
 The titular piece is a huge burlesque. [$1.25, Harper, New York; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Life on the Mississippi. 1883 
 
 The most veracious of his autobiographical stories, and his own favourite. A record of bygone 
 
 phases of life, observed by the young Mark Twain when he served as pilot on a Mississippi 
 steamer. This group of his books stands apart as his most serious studies of a life he was 
 intimately acquainted with ; the effects of slavery, the fierce family feuds, the general 
 lawlessness, lynching, etc., are described in the indignant spirit of the reformer. [?i.75. 
 Harper, New York ; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. 1885 
 
 Autobiographical in form and therefore more artistic than Tom Sawyer — a boy's epic of the 
 
 Mississippi, the call of nature to the lad's imagination rendered mth real poetry. Playing 
 at brigands and parodying the Arabian Nights — done with true insight and sympathy. 
 The same honest mockery of religiositj' and humbug of any kind. Apparently, the excres- 
 cent episode of the feud — too like the melodramatic stuff in Tom Sawyer — is meant as 
 satire of idiotic lawlessness. [?i.75. Harper, New York; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 A Yankee at the Court of King Arthur. 1889 
 
 Burlesque of the historical romance. A Yankee of the most arrant modem type is plumped 
 
 down in the middle of King Arthur's England, and a series of farcical incidents ensues. 
 The serious purpose, which is not obtruded, is to strip off the glamour and tinsel of 
 chivalry, and show the evils and miseries that actually underlay it. [$1.75, Harper, 
 New York; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Pudd'nhead Wilson. 1894 
 
 A story of a sober kind, picturing life in a little town of Missouri, half a century ago, and vanished 
 types, like the fine old gentleman, without fear and without reproach, who came of the 
 first families of Virginia, and like Wilson himself, the lawyer, despised by the townsfolk, 
 who have no sense of humour, until he proves himself a genius. The principal incidents 
 relate to a slave of mixed blood and her almost pure white son, whom she substitutes for 
 her master's baby. The slave by birth grows up in wealth and luxury, but turns out a 
 peculiarly mean scoundrel, and, perpetrating a crime, meets with due justice. The science 
 of finger-prints is practically illustrated in detecting the fraud. [ ? i . 75, Harper, New York ;

 Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc : by the Sieur Louis de Conte (her 
 
 Page a Secretary) ; freely translated out of the Ancient French. 1896

 New York ; 6s., Chatto.] 
 
 The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg ; and other Stories and Sketches. 1900 
 
 Exaggerated reminiscences, anecdotes of strange experiences, and fictitious episodes of a 
 
 humorous kind. The Hadleyburg man inveigles the stainless citizens of an American town 
 into a snare for their covetousness and vanity, and explodes their reputation for incorrup- 
 tible probity. The Esquimaux Maiden's Romance is a characteristic farce related with 
 mock gravity ; and My First Lie, a humorous parable, illustrates Mark Twain's ingrained 
 didacticism. [$1.75, Harper, New York ; 6s., Chatto.] 
 
 Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven. 1908 
 
 Extravaganza of the usual irreverent kind. The Captain diverges from the recognized route 
 and reaches Heaven by the wrong gate, his place of origin being in consequence a difficult 
 problem for the janitor. A farcical description fpUows of his equipment with halo, harp, 
 and wings, and his introduction to the inhabitants, the manners and sights of the place.

 Ben Hur ; or, The Days of the IMessiah. [juvenile] 1880

 Complete Works. 1869 
 
 Artemus Ward was a humourist whose distinguishing quality was the ludicrous confusion 
 of sense and nonsense. His sketches of Mormon life and inanners, his various travel- 
 sketches, the lectures in which he affected the character of a travelling showman, relating 
 absurd interviews with various notabilities, are all marked by this grotesque incongruity. 
 While his lectures are but the shadows of what thej' were as delivered by his inimitable 
 self, they are good examples of drollery and humour uncloaking the shams of modern 
 life ; and in print their extravagances are made more ludicrous by the vagaries of spelling 
 and typography. [With Memoir by E. P. Hingston, $3.50, $2, Dillingham, New York ;

 The gradual deterioration of a woman who leaves her home in the country to become the wife 
 of a notorious financier in New York. Wealth and the social life that wealth entails in 
 America enervate her spiritual nature. In the Golden House where this pair dwell the 
 reader's attention is concentrated on another couple. Jack Delaney is ruined by this

 Westcott, Edward Noyes [1847-98]. David Harum: a Story of American Life. 
 
 1898 
 A desultory book unified by the personality of an old banker, David Harum, a man shrewd 
 but illiterate, more ready to cheat than to be cheated, who is averred to be a correct 
 representation of the Yankees of rural New York. His invincible shrewdness and pawky 
 humour, his sayings flavoured with " horse slang," made an immediate hit as a revelation 
 of local character. [50c., 50c. n., Appleton, New York ; 6s., Pearson.] 
 
 White, Eliza Ome {b. 1856]. Miss Brooks. 1890 
 
 Social life in Boston, and the fortunes of a small group of people. Ordinary life recorded

 by smartness and repartee. [$1.25, 50c., Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Coming of Theodora. 1895 
 
 Theodora has almost every excellence save tactful sympathy, and with this defect her generous 
 
 'efforts to assist her brother's family fail. A little comedy, with Theodora's attractive 
 person for its chief subject, that at the end turns to tragedy. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston; 
 4s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 — — ■ A Browning Courtship; and other Stories. 1897 
 
 Browning-mania and other crazes and ineptitudes delicately satirized — e.g. A Bismarck Dinner 
 and The Queen of Clubs. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston; 6s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 A Lover of Truth. 1898 
 
 A study of local manners ; the virtuous and refined but colourless aristocracy of an old- 
 fashioned country-town in New England is here drawn with a scrupulous exactness and 
 quiet humour. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston; 5s., Smith & Elder.] 
 
 The Wares of Edgefield. 1909 
 
 The slight difficulties of married life in a young doctor and a rather conventional girl from 
 
 Boston, and the difficulties of their children in their love affairs. Contrasts of life in town 
 and country— Edgefield is apparently a little place in New Hampshire. [$1.25 n., Houghton, 
 Boston.] 
 
 Whitney, Adeline Dutton {nee Train ; b. 1824]. Boys at Chequasset. [juv.] 1862 
 
 The story of a bad boy's conversion. The hero is a slovenly boy, whose reformation is worked 
 out in a lifelike manner, without obtrusion of the moral. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Faith Gartney's Girlhood. [juvenile] 1863 
 
 A simple record of the life and thought of a young girl between fourteen and twenty, typical 
 of " those young people who dream and wish and strive and err, and find, perhaps, little 
 help to interpret their spirits to themselves." " A sort of transcendental cluld's book."

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND HALF 
 
 Whitney, Adeline Dutton (continued).- — The Gayworthys. [juvenile] 1865 
 
 The uneventful life of an old-fashioned family living in the New England hills. There is a 
 
 good deal of talk about religion ; a rough sea-captain airs his scepticism in rude metaphors, 
 
 while rustics express their faith in Providence just as crudely. The book is deeply tinged 
 
 with Swedenborgian mysticism. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston ; is. 6d., Routledge.] 
 
 A Summer in Leslie Goldthwaite's Life. [juvenile] 1866 
 
 A girl's holiday among the mountains, and its deep, salutary effect upon her mind and heart ;

 Home life in a New England country place some fifty years ago ; quiet Puritan folk living out

 one addicted to morbid self-questioning, the other happily trustful in Providence. A 
 religious story interspersed with homilies. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston; 2s., Low.] 
 
 We Girls : a Home Story. [juvenile] 1870 
 
 Real Folks [sequel]. [juvenile] 1871 
 
 The Other Girls [sequel]. [juvenile] 1873 
 
 Rambling domestic stories, of which the characters are various girls, three of whom we find 
 living a plain life of high thinking in New York ; two others contrasted — one in the city, 
 the other in the country ; and two, again, who go out to service, and are so deeply ani- 
 mated with the spirit that makes drudgery divine, that they are as happy working in the , 
 kitchen and about the house as if they were in Paradise. [Ea. $1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Ascutney Street : a Neighbourhood Story. [juvenile] 1890 
 
 The growth of love between two people in widely different social stations, with descriptions

 Winter, Mrs., and Mrs. Boy. The Lost Wedding-Ring. 1887 
 
 A whimsical sketch of a New York household belonging to the supposed authoresses, one of 
 
 whom is a writer on the marriage question and the other an accomplished talker. Their 
 
 chats and wild theories furnish the comedy of the book. [75c., Putnam, New York : o.p.] 
 
 WiNTHROP, Theodore [1828-61]. Cecil Dreeme. 1861 
 
 A drama of passion. The author shows how potent and profound are the struggles and emotions 
 that take place amid such commonplace surroundings as an average lodging-house in New 
 York. [30c,, Holt, New York : o.p. ; 2s., W. Scott.] 
 
 John Brent. 1864 
 
 An energetic, full-blooded romance of the unrestrained and lawless life of the Western plains ; 
 
 Helen Clitheroe, the heroine, is a novel t3^e of womanhood, and something of an enigma 
 [30C., Dodd & Mead, New York : o.p. ; is., Paterson, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Wise, John Sergeant [b. 1846]. Diomed: the Life, Travels and Observations of a 
 Dog. 1897

 WooLSON, Constance Fenimore [grand-niece of J. Fenimore Cooper ; 1838-94]. 
 Castle Nowhere : Lake Country Sketches. 1876 
 
 Short stories of life near the Great Lakes, depicting in detail a rough and ugly phase of life, 
 but revealing the genuine humanity that lies behind it. [$i. Harper, New York.] 
 
 Rodman the Keeper. 1880 
 
 Short stories of Georgia, Florida, and N. and S. Carolina just after the Civil War ; sympathetic 
 in their observation of life, thoroughly feminine in their tenderness and patient delineation 
 of ordinary existence. The physical aspects of the country, the people, black and white, 
 and the dialects, are all carefully exhibited. [|i. Harper, New York.] 
 
 Anne. 1882 
 
 " Scenes at Mackinac and about New York." [$1.25, Harper, New York.]

 East Angels. 1886 
 
 Her most elaborate novel, dealing with the love affairs and other relations of a large group 
 of characters in Georgia before the war. The interest centres in an exalted case of self- 
 renunciation, the magnanimous Margaret sacrificing love and erecting barriers between her- 
 self and her lover. [$1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Jupiter Lights. 1889 
 
 An intricate and harrowing story ; scene, a winter-city on the Florida coast ; thesis, the self- 
 abnegation of women's love. The sufferings of one woman at the hands of a fascinating 
 man who has an inherited tendency to insanity, and, later, the mental tortures of another 
 woman who believes she has killed him, and then falls in love with his brother, are the main 
 episodes. [$1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 ■ Horace Chase. 1894 
 
 The idiosyncrasies, the tragedies big and little, and the everyday domestic Hfe of humble 
 gentlefolk in an Alleghany village and at the seaside in Florida. An old but impoverished 
 family is revolutionized by the marriage into it of the millionaire Horace Chase, whose 
 sterUng nature, lacking in culture, fails to win the sympathies of these refined people. 
 Of deeper interest is the spiritual history of the impulsive young wife, loving her middle- 
 aged husband, yet swayed by a passion for a younger man. [$1.25, Harper.]

 Six stories, elucidating character by delicate shading, deeply sjonpathetic in their psj'chological

 all things, seen and unseen ; and lends her a pair of spectacles which help her to understand 
 some of the secrets of Nature and those of the other two brothers. Heart of God and Heart 
 of Man. [Ea. Ji.go, Macmillan, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 PRESENT DAY 
 
 •Adams, Andy [b. 1859]. The Log of a Cowboy. 1903 
 
 A very direct and realistic narrative of a great cattle-drive from Texas to the north. An 
 excellent account of the cowboys of thirty years ago by a man who worked in that capacity 
 for ten years. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston ; 6s., Putnam, London.] 
 
 A Texas Matchmaker. 1904 
 
 The Outlet. 1905 
 
 Cattle Brands : Western Camp-fire Stories. 1906 
 
 Reed Anthony, Cowman : an Autobiography. 1907 
 
 These convey with the same knowledge and fidelity the actualities of ranch life. The growth 
 of a big cattle-ranch during the great cattle-boom, and all the various incidents of the life 
 of a cowboy, are vividly described in the first three, and the last story is a similarly truthful 
 account of an American who goes on the Texas Trail after the Civil War, and achieves 
 fortune in the cattle-trade and the land-boom of the 'eighties. [Ea. $1.50, Houghton, 
 Boston ; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 Adams, J. WiUiam. Shibusawa ; or. The Passing of Old Japan. 1906 
 
 A romance telling of the fall of the Shogun and the restoration of the Mikado, and giving a 
 good account of the transformation of old manners and customs with the progress of 
 Western culture. [$1.50, Putnam, New York.]

 " Turkish tales collected and done into English." [75c., Macmillan, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Allen, James Lane [b. 1849]. Flute and Violin ; and other Kentucky Tales. 1891 
 
 stories of the author's native country, the Blue-Grass Region of Kentucky, and of its hardy 
 agricultural folk, true Anglo-Saxons. Mostly pathetic in motive : Two Gentlemen 0/ 
 Kentucky, a touching, sadly humorous story of master and slave ; The White Cowl and 
 Sister Dolorosa, two stories of monastic life ; King Solomon, a vagrant white who redeemed 
 his character by acting as grave-digger in the dreadful cholera year, 1833 ; Flute and Violin, 
 and others, have some of the delicate art and imagination of Hawthorne, and the natural 
 description is akin to Thoreau's. [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan. Two Gentlemen of Kentucky, 
 reprinted from this book, 50c., Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 — ■ — A Kentucky Cardinal. 1895 
 
 The title refers to a cardinal bird, and indicates the subtle motive that underlies a story charac- 
 terized by feminine sensibility. An act of unkindness to this shy child of nature brings 
 misunderstanding into two young people's courtship. A refined study of personality and 
 sentiment, penetrated with a tender love of nature. Perhaps of most interest for its 
 descriptions of Kentucky. The time is half a century since. [$i (3s. 6d.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Aftermath [sequel]. 1896 
 
 A companion idyll consisting of meditations and fanciful disquisitions on Ufe. A pure and 
 beautiful portrayal of courtship and marriage is embodied in the little tale, tinged at the 
 end with deUcate pathos. The dominant motive is the conflict between the love of nature 
 and the humaner love of wife and home. [$i (3s. 6d.), Macmillan. With A Kentucky 
 Cardinal, illustrated by Hugh Thomson, ?2.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Summer in Arcady. 1896 
 
 The common incidents of a girl's courtship by a young farmer, related in such manner as to 
 emphasize the dangers young people run who are not properly advised by parents. The 
 idyll is imaginatively handled, and the sights and sounds of woods and fields in summer 
 are harmonized into a poetic symphony. [$1.25 (4s. 6d.), Macmillan.]

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Allen, James Lane {continued). — The Choir Invisible. 1897 
 
 A sentimental story of Kentucky in the years following the War of Independence, very delicate 
 in analysis of feeling, and in the suggestive and emotional employment of landscape. 
 The theme is that of an honest and pure affection between a man and a woman separated 
 by marriage. Deals exclusively with the inner life, and is almost devoid of external 
 incident, though the perilous conditions of existence in the colonizing days are brought 
 out by glimpses of Indian warfare. [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan. Illustrated by Orson Lowell, 
 $2,50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Increasing Purpose. 1900 
 
 A young Kentuckian, brought up to believe in the literal inspiration of the Bible, enters as 
 a student for the ministry in the Lexington College. The story shows his awakening to 
 a wider belief, resulting in his own loss of faith, until a woman, knowing little of theology, 
 reconciles him to life and to the truest religion. [I1.50 (6s. : o.p.), Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Mettle of the Pasture. 1903 
 
 A spiritual tragedy worked out on the same careful and delicate lines. A young man, who 
 at college has had a liaison, confesses to the girl he afterwards loves, wrecking both their 
 hearts. [I1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 The Bride of the Mistletoe. 1909 
 
 First of a "trilogy" studying "the inner heart of thinking, feeling, suffering human beings."

 consequences. [|i, Lovell, New York ; 3s. 6d., Heinemann.] 
 
 Patience Sparhawk and Her Times. 1897

 luxury of the rich hidalgo's home, and the efEete type of civilization for which it stands, 
 are contrasted with the uncouth, strenuous life of the modem Yankee. [$1.50, MacmiUan,

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Atherton, Gertrude Franklin (continued). — A Daughter of the Vine. 1899 
 
 A frank and searching study of a woman who, through the tragic efEects of her parents' sins 
 is a dipsomaniac. [$1.50, Lane, New York; 6s., Nisbet.]

 A romance of California before the Union, giving a picture of incessant feuds and adventure, 
 
 and of the Spaniards in their decadence. [$1.25, Dodd & Mead, New York ; 5s., Nisbet.] 
 
 Senator North. 1900 
 
 The heroine, Betty Madison, is a Washington belle from the Southern States, who takes an 
 
 interest in politics, and fascinates the elderly senator who gives his name to the novel. 
 Opens up many political and social questions, amongst them the racial problem, which is 
 illustrated by a pathetic episode. [$1.50 (6s.), Lane.] 
 
 The Aristocrats. 1901 
 
 A novel that came out anonymously and made a sensation. Written in the form of letters 
 by the young Lady Helen Pole to an English friend, during a year spent in the Adirondacks 
 among the most exclusive sets in American Society. These people and their affectations 
 are cuttingly, if superficially, satirized, especially the literary coteries, over-refined and 
 " emasculated " according to this outspoken young lady, whose views on modem de- 
 cadence and emancipation display no excess of prudery. [$1.50 (6s., is. 6d. n.), Lane.] 
 
 The Splendid Idle Forties. 1902 
 
 An enlarged and revised edition of Before the Gringo Came (1892) : thirteen tales of old Cali- 
 fornia and the romantic, passionate, half-Oriental life of the Spanish caballeros, under 
 Mexican rule, before the advent of the improving Yankee. [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.]

 ' ' The True and Romantic Story of the Birth, Life, and Death of Alexander Hamilton, States- 
 man, Orator, and Soldier " (1757-1804) — a novel of a eulogistic sort, based on the Hamil-

 Rezanov. 1906 
 
 The heroical career of a Russian empire-builder in California (1806), and his love-story ; a 
 romance of high politics and love, of the conventional order. [50c., Cupples, New York; 
 6s., Murray.] 
 
 Ancestors. 1907 
 
 A long, unequal, exuberant novel of smart Society and politics in England and life in Cali- 
 fornia, Mrs. Atherton's wide knowledge and dramatic vigour making the latter far the 
 strongest part of the book. The psychological problem concerns the development of a 
 man with Celto-Saxon ancestors on one side and Spanish-American on the other, but 
 the problem of heredity is complicated by many crossing interests. [$1.50, Harper, 
 New York ; 6s., Murray.] 
 
 The Gorgeous Isle. 1908 
 
 A characteristic specimen of the romance of passion and the problem novel, one of the lovers 
 being an inebriate and— a poet. Scene, the tropic island of Nevis in the West Indies, in

 world, and the haunt of wealthy English and Americans, who furnish Mrs. Atherton with

PRESENT DAY. 
 
 Babcock, William Henry [b. 1849]. Cian of the Chariots : a Romance of Arthur's 
 Court. 1898 
 
 A very serious attempt to reconstruct Arthurian Britain, by an author who in The Two Lost 
 Centuries of Britain (1890) had written an imaginative monograph, based on historical 
 indications, deaUng with the period between the Roman evacuation and the establish- 
 ment of Saxon rule. [$1.50, Lothrop, Boston.] 
 
 The Tower of Wye. 1901 
 
 This likewise handles history in a very painstaking manner, exerting imagination only in 
 filling up the gaps in existing records. The time is the Claiborne-Calvert contest of 1634-51, 
 and the chief characters and incidents, as well as the early conditions of the settlers, are 
 well authenticated. [$1.50, Coates, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Kent Fort Manor. 1902 
 
 Here there is less reliance on history ; the middle period of the Civil War and the years follow- 
 ing hardly provide any incidents or characters that can be recognized as historical, though 
 the conditions existing in Chesapeake and Washington and the characters of those times 
 and places are faithfully drawn. [$i, Coates, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Bacheller, Irving Addison [&. 1859]. Eben Holden : a Tale of the North Country. 
 
 1900 
 
 A rambling, sentimental novel of life in the Adirondacks fifty years ago, introducing Horace 
 
 Greely and Abraham Lincoln. Interest centres in the faithful old servant, Eben Holden, 
 
 who is lovingly drawn. Life in the woods and fields is depicted with no little charm. 
 
 [$1.50, Harper, New York, 50c., Grosset, New York.] 
 
 D'ri and I : Memoirs of Col. Ramon Bell, U.S.A. 1901 
 
 Vivid descriptions of forest, lake and river, near the St. Lawrence (1812). The story and the 
 characters are naught. [$1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Barrel of the Blessed Isles. 1903 
 
 The Blessed Isles are the land of poetry and imagination. Knowing Shakespeare, Milton and 
 the Bible by heart. Barrel (1835-55), the old clock-tinker and philosopher of the back- 
 woods, teaches all men a more perfect wisdom, charity, contentment. The book is 
 fragrant with these qualities, and with a deep and understanding love of nature. A book 
 of pregnant sayings, a philosophy of life, rather than a story ; yet it portrays several

 A touching story of rural life in the West Riding, permeated with a deep sense of the inherent

 side is represented by many caricatures. [$1.25, Dodd & Mead, New York; 6s., 
 J. Clarke.] 
 
 Bernicia. 1894

 The scene of these two novels is Boston, but the stories are as fanciful as they are reaUstic.

 The Barrier. 1907 
 
 Two stories of the Alaska goldfields, sketching the rough, profane gold-seekers and their squaws 
 and children of the mining camps with the picturesque pen of a Bret Harte, and not without 
 the poetic touch that brings up the feel of the wilderness and the unknown immensity 
 around the settlements. The French-Canadian 'Poleon Doret, in The Barrier, is a most 
 human character ; the rest are the ruck of miners and adventurers, brutal outside but 
 sentimentalists within, and Satanic ruffians who keep the melodrama exciting. 
 
 The Silver Horde. 1909 
 
 The duel of a young lover in search of fortune and the millionaire whom he hopes to make

 [$1.50, Dodge, New York.] 
 
 Brown, Mrs. Alice [b. 1857]. Meadow-Grass. 1895 
 
 Short tales of New England village life, characterized by good-humour, optimism, and a keen 
 delight in the open air. Heartsease, Joint Owners in Spain, Farmer Eli's Vacation, are 
 good representatives of the stories. [$1.50, 50c., Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 King's End. 1901 
 
 A quiet story of life in a New England mountain village, in the style made familiar by Miss 
 Wilkins ; full of insight into rustic character such as that of the rough, manly young 
 farmer and his deaf mother, of the spiritually minded elder, and of the young woman with 
 the call to go preaching. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Mannerings. 1903 
 
 A delicate, perhaps too tenuous, study of the deeper relations of true wedlock, as exemplified 
 in three pairs of men and women. Very American in its Puritanism, very feminine in 
 its lack of realism and its etherealized portraits of men. A tender sense of the divinity 
 of life and the supreme excellence of a love that renounces its own gratification, broods 
 over the book, and is crystallized in the character of Elinor. Well illustrates how thought- 
 ful artists are using fiction as a means of showing ethical ideas in their actual personal 
 influence on spiritual development. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston; 6s., Nash.] 
 
 — Paradise. 1905 
 
 A New England village tale with parallel interests. Simple as a story, the real significance 
 being in the inner life, not in the outward incident. Not lacking in quiet humour, how- 
 ever, and rather too exact in the reproduction of a racy but uncouth vernacular. [$1.50, 
 Houghton, Boston ; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 The County Road. 1906 
 
 Thirteen stories embod5dng the same refined idealism and delicate fancy in the simple annals 
 of New England folk, their love affairs, domestic incompatibilities, and the difficulties of 
 married life. Little of the shadows of life, plenty of its comedy. [$1.50, Houghton, 
 Boston ; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 The Story of Thyrza. 1909 
 
 A very pathetic and emotional story of an imaginative girl who is betrayed, and has to earn 
 her son's bread as a sempstress. Her trials are not finished here, as the son does not 
 appreciate the simple honesty of her self-devotion. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston ; 6s., 
 Constable.]

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Brown, Mrs. Alice {continued). — Country Neighbours. 1910 
 
 A sheaf of similar stories, emphasizing the romance of humble lives and the fine qualities which 
 sympathetic discernment knows not to be the monopoly of superior people. The beauty 
 of Mrs. Brown's fancy comes out admirably in Flowers of Paradise, and her delicate 
 humour in such idylls as Gardener Jim and The Gay House, though her artistic sphere is 
 so limited and monotonous, [f 1.20 n., Houghton, Boston ; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 Brown, Katharine Holland. Diane. 1905 
 
 Story of a communistic settlement of French people on the Mississippi, in the years before the 
 war {1856) ; the traffic in runaway slaves. Captain John Brown, the Abolitionists, etc. 
 [$1.50, Doubleday, New York ; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 Brown, William Garrott [&. 1868]. A Gentleman of the South. 1903 
 
 The father of this Gentleman of the South, owner of a great plantation in the Black Belt, 
 slew his friend in a duel and wrecked the happiness of two generations. His son sacrifices 
 his life to make atonement (1847-8). A study of chivalrous hearts, refined ideals, and self- 
 sacrificing motives, leading up to one tremendous scene. The pathos is a powerful indict- 
 ment of this false code of honour. [^1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Brudno, Ezra Selig \b. 1877]. The Tether. • 1908 
 
 The life of a Jewish poet, a waif from the slums of Boston, who is sent to school and college 
 by a benevolent lady, and earns his living with his pen. Illustrates the obstacles put in 
 the way of a Jew by both Christians and his own people. [$1.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Burnett, Frances Eliza \_nee Hodgson ; afterwards Mrs. Stephen Townsend ; 6. 1849 ; 
 Enghsh by birth]. That Lass o' Lowrie's. 1877

 the humble life of the working classes. The romantic plot tells how a young engineer 
 marries the brave daughter of a savage and drunken miner, after she had saved his life.

 Portrait of a simple and beautiful type of Southern girlhood ; a pathetic story, embodying 
 scenes of life in the mountain region of North Carolina. [I1.25, Scribner, New York; 
 IS., Wame.] 
 
 Through One Administration. 1883 
 
 A poignant drama enacted amidst the brilliant social life and the political corruption of 
 Washington. A woman married to a politician of the worst type loves and is loved again 
 by an old wooer. Both are true and conscientious people, and the pathos of the situation 
 is that the lover watches the husband using his wife for base political ends. [$1.50, Scrib- 
 ner, New York ; 3s. 6d., Wame.] 
 
 Little Lord Fauntleroy. [juvenile] 1886 
 
 A fairy-tale in real life. The seven-year-old hero, living among vulgar people in New York, 
 suddenly becomes heir to a selfish and crusty old earl, goes to England and fascinates 
 everybody, including his ogreish grandsire. The contrasts of character are trenchant, 
 as befits a book for children, the good folk being very good and the bad intensely bad ;

 The love-story of a man touched with hereditary dipsomania and a Society girl — two of the 
 few tolerable people in a crowd of fashionable New Yorkers. Describes with evident 
 complacency the snobbishness and luxury, the vulgar, glittering smartness, and the 
 pinchbeck sentimentality of these empty-headed time-killers. On the other hand, there 
 is some exposure of the brutality of predatory finance, and the villainies of corrupt judges 
 and blackmailing hangers-on. [Si. 50, Appleton ; 6s., Constable.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Chambers, Robert William {continued). — ^The Younger Set. 1907 
 
 Another fulsome panorama of life among " the rich and the great, the steel kings, and copper 
 kings, and oil kings, and their heirs and dauphins," the smart set being contrasted with 
 a healthier generation that seems to be growing up. A chivalrous young soldier, who divorced 
 his wife out of sheer unselfishness, comes back to New York and has passages of reviving 
 affection, but loves and marries an altogether finer type of girl. [J1.50, Appleton, New

 cially of McClellan's unsuccessful campaign in the peninsula. [$1.50 {6s.), Appleton,

 The Common Law. 1911 
 
 A tjfpical specimen of the fashionable American novel of fashionable life — sentimental, un- 
 real, and luscious in its description of the faineant rich. The fashionable hero, who is an 
 artist, wants to marry his model — hence the imbroglio. [$1.40 n. (6s.), Appleton, New

 the American Revolution. Andrew Jackson, George Rogers Clark, Daniel Boone, Sevier, and 
 other famous names appear. Clark is the real hero, his march to N. Ohio and treaty 
 with the Indians being a cardinal episode. The multitude of characters, the many and 
 various, but converging interests, and stirring scenes of action in the heroic days bring 
 vividly before the eye the vast changes that passed over the lands bordering the Missis- 
 sippi during that period. [$1.50, Macmillan, New York.]

 intertwined. The two lovers are children of the chief counsel to a railroad corporation

 eastern State in order to keep up dividends. Dedicated to those engaged in the struggle 
 for purer poUtics. The Crisis, The Crossing, Coniston, and Mr. Crewe's Career are a quater- 
 nion of novels connected in idea, as exhibiting successive epochs of progress in pohtics 
 and civilization. [$1.50, Macmillan.] 
 
 A Modem Chronicle. iqio 
 
 Married life in aristocratic New York, where divorce is easy but not respectable. The history 
 of a beautiful, sensitive, and brilliant girl, who marries the wrong man. Highly decorous 
 in tone, though it touches on fast life where the ice is very thin. Professes to analyse, 
 but the analysis is only skin deep. Obviously written with a pious regard for the literary 
 censorship, and consequently lacking reality. [$1.50, Macmillan, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Cooke, Grace [nee MacGowan; b. 1863], and Alice MacGowan [b. 1858]. Return. 
 
 1905 
 
 Georgia and the savannahs (1739), depicted, with a sense of historical atmosphere, by two 
 
 descendants of the patriots who fought for the land. A passionate Charlestown girl is 
 
 the heroine of the romance, which has considerable character interest. [$1.50, Page, 
 
 Boston ; 6s., Hodder.] 
 
 " Craddock, Charles Egbert " [Mary Noailles Murfree ; b. 1850]. In the Tennessee 
 Mountains. 1884 
 
 Eight stories, strong in the dramatization of fierce, primitive natures, of the rugged and uncouth 
 dwellers in the Great Smoky Mountains ; reproducing the rude dialect, and describing 
 the magnificent scenery of the forest ranges and gloomy valleys with extraordinary 
 pictorial vigour. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Where the Battle was Fought. 1884 
 
 Characters of a more elevated class, an old Southern general and his daughter, victims of 
 the war, a young officer her lover, lawyers, financiers, and the society of a country town in 
 Tennessee. The story turns on powerful motives and feelings that hardly come to the 
 surface, the two lines of interest being the growth and ultimate ripening of love between 
 the officer and Marcia, and a deep-laid plot to rob another young lady of her fortune. 
 What gives the book a peculiar imaginative colouring is the proximity of the old battle- 
 field, haunting the lives of men and unconsciously swaying their souls. [$1.25, Houghton, 
 Boston.] 
 
 The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains. 1885 
 
 The classic portrayal of the Tennessee mountaineer, the sublimity of his domicile, the squalor 
 and lawlessness that condition his life, and the finer aspirations struggling in his soul. 
 Singles out two characters from the crowd of brutal and lawless hillmen and primitive 
 villagers, Hiram and Dorinda ; the one a moody, introspective preacher, a Bunyan 
 worsted by his doubts ; the other a girl of beautiful nature, bom in a family of rascals 
 and idlers. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d., 2s., Chatto.] 
 
 In the Clouds. 1887 
 
 Here again the interests are largely spiritual and ideal ; and in the exuberant descriptions 
 of nature, the influence of physical surroundings on the mind of man is traced. A tragic 
 story, the faithful heroine, bewildered by her troubles, going mad. [$1.25, Houghton, 
 Boston.] 
 
 The Despot of Broomsedge Cove. 1889 
 
 A longer novel picturing very fully the magnificent phenomena of the mountain regions, 
 and the varied life in homestead, tavern and store of this strange, motley people. Three 
 figures are very characteristic : the domineering and fiery young hero, the proud and 
 fascinating heroine, and her sarcastic grandmother. The plot hinges on a mysterious 
 murder. [I1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 In the Stranger People's Country. 1891 
 
 The story of an American Don Quixote; a rugged, courageous, and lofty figure. A dramatic 
 story, well grounded in realism which accentuates the ideality of its main theme. [I1.50 
 (2s. 6d.), Harper.] 
 
 His Vanished Star. 1894 
 
 Mountaineers and townspeople delineated in the same objective manner as usual, one young 
 native being singled out for deeper portraiture : the omen of a " temporary star " which 
 he takes to himself supplies the title. The doings of " moonshiners," with their illicit 
 still, the pursuit of a man on a murder charge, the ill-starred scheme of a capitalist for 
 building a huge sanatorium, and certain love affairs furnish abundance of plot interest. 
 [I1.25, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 The Young Mountaineers. 1897 
 
 Short stories, chiefly about young men and their exploits and adventures; see, e.g., A Moun- 
 tain Storm. The grand aspects of nature are made great use of. [?i.50, Houghton,

 Scene, Colbury, a dead old town in Tennessee, where a travelling fair is stranded, one of the 
 showmen, Lloyd, serving to link together and contrast the opposite spheres of society. 
 He is the submerged gentleman who comes in for the windfall. The love-story centres 
 in a country girl of fine primitive nature, and is broken by savage outbursts of passion 
 and by exciting incidents between revenue ofi&cers and the moonshiners. [$1.50, Duf&eld, 
 New York ; 6s., Chatto.]

 the early years of Louis XV, when the province was governed by Count Frontenac. — ^nearly

 1 687-1 735 are introduced, and not only the chief historical events but the buildings, the 
 manners and customs, and trading and military usages are delineated. [$1.50, 75c.,

 Love Thrives in War : a Romance of the Frontier in 1812. 1903 
 
 Here again the historical and the romantic events centre in Detroit, relating to the period 
 1805-32. The destruction of the settlement by fire in 1805, the surrender to the British

 Van Bibber, and Others. 189a 
 
 Rollicking anecdotes of reprobate and dissipated life in New York, the doings of shady char-

 temperament and acuteness, of innocence and knowingness : an unconscious humourist. 
 [$i, 60c., Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Exiles ; and other Stories. 1894 
 
 A sketch of a colony of American outcasts in Tangier, which teaches unobtrusively a humane

 A graceful story of the young St. Louis, and of a plot to separate him from his queen (c. 1230). 
 
 The finest character is a blind peasant girl, whose " blessed voice " is the means of check- 
 mating the conspirators. [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 A Victor of Salamis : a Tale of the Days of Xerxes, Leonidas, and Themistocles. 
 
 1907 
 Describes the Isthmian games, the Panathenaic festival, and the battles of Thermopylse, 
 Salamis, and Plataea (481-479 B.C.). [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 The Friar of Wittenberg : a Tale of the Times of Martin Luther. 1912 
 
 The story is related by an intimate companion of Luther, and gives the chief incidents of his 
 
 career from the Nailing of the Theses to his abduction to the Wartburg. Scenes, 
 Germany and Papal Rome ; chief characters, Luther, Melanchthon, Pope Leo de' Medici, 
 and the Emperor Charles V. [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Deland, Margaret [nee Campbell ; b. 1857]. John Ward, Preacher. 1888 
 
 The typical novel of a New England lady who, like, and yet unlike, Mrs. Humphry Ward, 
 carries the philosophical realism of George Eliot a further stage (cf. Robert Elsmere, pub- 
 lished almost simultaneously). John Ward is a rigid Calvinist, his religion " grounded 
 on damnation," whose austere conscience brings him into tragic conflict with his Agnostic 
 wife. The happy, untroubled life of a sequestered village, inhabited by old-fashioned 
 gentlefolk of lovable traits, gives a pleasant background to the tragedy, which is relieved 
 further by a happy love affair. Over the personalities of the Anglican rector, whose kind- 
 ness and common sense are so superior to his theology, and of the two innocent maids, 
 the author's humour plays tenderly. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston ; is. 6d., is., Wame.] 
 
 Sidney. 1890 
 
 Is it worth while to love, in this mortal life of ours ? This is the psychological problem. A 
 
 father, heart-broken at the loss of his wife, brings up his daughter Sidney in a philosophy 
 of life from which the element of sexual love has been carefully excluded ; but it is love 
 that awakens her spiritual consciousness and leads her to a deeper life of feeling, [f 1.25, 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Story of a Child in Old Chester. 1892 
 
 Another psychological problem : the history of a child of uncontrolled imagination, whose 
 
 little heart was hungry. [$i, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Mr. Tommy Dove ; and Other Stories. 1893 
 
 Character-portraits and episodes in the lives of several among the sweet-tempered and un- 
 spoiled inhabitants of Mrs. Deland's ideal world. Mr. Tommy Dove is a charactaristic 
 story of middle-aged courtship. In A Fourth-Class Appointment, the pathetic history of 
 two women who keep a country post-office, Mrs. Deland laughs tenderly at the unsophis- 
 tication of these true-hearted people. [$i, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Philip and his Wife. 1894 
 
 States, without trying to resolve, some of the problems raised by ill-assorted marriages, and 
 
 suggests ideas as to the lawfulness of divorce and other questions. Philip's wife is a clever 
 and fascinating woman who is almost completely non-moral, though naturally endowed 
 with the good impulses actuating nicer people. The husband's interests are concentrated 
 on the welfare of his own soul. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Wisdom of Fools. 1898 
 
 Propounds various difi&cult problems, moral and social, by similar means. [$1.25, 50c., 
 Houghton, Boston.]

 Deland, Margaret [continued). — Old Chester Tales. 1899 
 
 George Eliot crossed with Mrs. Gaskell seems the artistic genealogy of the author in these 
 chronicles of a New England Cranford, peopled by quaint old characters full of humour 
 and gentle goodness, where nothing happens more exciting than a tea-party and the small 
 vicissitudes of domestic life, e.g. Good for the Soul and Where the Labourers are Few. 
 [$1.50 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 Dr. Lavardar's People. 1903 
 
 Six more Old Chester tales, characterized by the same unpretentious but refined art. They 
 reveal the rarer graces of personality in what seem quite ordinary people, emphasizing 
 them with perhaps a little excess of sentimentality. The Grasshopper and the Ant, Amelia, 
 and the Stuffed Animal House are good examples of both her humour and her pathos.

 fact and feeling. [Ea. $1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Dickson, Harris [&. 1868]. The Black Wolf's Breed. 1900 
 
 The warrior-hero is a French captain who served under Bienville, governor of Louisiana, during 
 the latter days of Louis XIV, shortly after La Salle had made his memorable voyage 
 down the Mississippi and thus sowed the seeds of the mighty quarrel which culminated 
 in the Seven Years' War [c. 1700). The story is mainly laid at Biloxi, in Louisiana, but 
 sometimes moves to Versailles and Paris ; it gives a good idea of frontier life in a new 
 European . settlement among the Indians, [fi.50, Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis; 6s., 
 IS. n., Methuen.] 
 
 The Siege of Lady Resolute. 1902 
 
 The story is founded on the legend of the wealthy merchant Anthony Crozat and his project 
 for making himself Prince of Louisiana. Protestants in the Cevennes at the time of Jean 
 Cavalier and the Camisards (1702-15), and Louisiana under Iberville, Crozat, and Cadillac. 
 Mme. de Maintenon is the heroine's bitter foe. [$1.50 (6s.), Harper.]

 Dreiser, Theodore [b. 1871]. Sister Carrie. 1901 
 
 A very plain, unaffected, and unconventional story of the actual life of the lower middle-classes

 case, Kipling's writings, American habits and institutions, the Standard Oil Company, 
 Trusts, the Tariff, Ocean Travel, and politics from a point of view very different from that 
 of the English press. The satire is thoroughly Irish, fanciful, exaggerated, farcical, fertile

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Fox, John, Junior (continued). — ^The Kentuckians. 1898 
 
 An episode in the political annals of Kentucky. Two orators are rivals ; one champions the 
 turbulent, homicidal mountaineers of the Cumberland range, the other represents the 
 " Blue Grass " landowners. Their political feud merges into rivalry in love, and ends in 
 a contest of magnanimity. [Si. 25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come. 1903 
 
 The early part — life in the Kentucky mountains, among settlers and hunters — is wholly de- 
 lightful, if a little too sentimental. The psychological interest begins with the Civil War, 
 when the young hero, like his native state, is torn asunder by his- syn^pathies with either 
 side. The Confederate cavalry general, Morgan, is a prominent figure. [51.50, Scribner,

 French, and American, make up the group of characters. Pisa, Orvieto, Rome, Ravenna, 
 "Venice, and Florence are described, with their buildings, pictures, statues, antiquities, 
 and, above all, their cognoscenti, in a singularly humorous, fanciful, and vivacious narrative.

 Her Mountain Lover. 1901 
 
 A picturesque and shrewd, but rough and ignorant cowboy from Colorado comes to London 
 to sell a gold mine, and there has sentimental experiences with a lady novelist. His 
 UEuive criticisms of English things are amusing, the Yankeeisms repellent. [$1.50, Century 
 Co., New York ; 4s., Heinemann.] 
 
 Hesper. 1903 
 
 A romantic story in which the East and the West are brought into vivid juxtaposition, a 
 refined young lady from New York being plunged into the strenuous, semi-barbarous life 
 of the ranches and the mining camps.- [I1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Moccasin Ranch : a Story of Dakota. 1909 
 
 A story, with considerable dramatic force in it, of a settler, his wife, and one or two others, 
 on the Dakota prairie in 1883, when the virgin soil was being taken up by the immigrants. 
 •The struggles and trials of the squatters, the wild, hard life of the plains, and the trying 
 effect on the men and women plunged into it, are depicted. [%i (5s.), Harper.]

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Glasgow, Ellen Anderson Gholson [b. 1874]. Phases of an Inferior Planet. 1898 
 
 Morbid phases of bohemian life, dealt with realistically and analytically. An ill-matched 
 pair live out the first miserable epoch of married life in cheap apartments in New York, 
 and part after the death of their child. In the latter half of the story they are reconciled, 
 but perish tragically before outward reunion takes place. [$1.25, Harper, New York ; 
 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Voice of the People. 1900 
 
 A poor boy's political ambitions, and his rise through many impediments to a high position 
 in his native State. Life in Virginia during the Reconstruction period, the quality, the 
 poor whites, and the negroes, many of them quaint and humorous, and the rich surround- 
 ings of natural scenery and luxuriant gardens are freely sketched, white the story is 
 diffuse and desultory. [$1.50, Doubleday, New York; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Battle Ground. 
 
 1902 
 
 First part a sympathetic portrayal of the wealthy Virginians before secession : second half a 
 vivid picture of the war ; impressionistic, rather the mournful underside of war than 
 the heroic — halts and bivouacs, hospitals, the miseries of non-combatants, and the like. 
 Fair to both sides, though as a whole a representation of the Southern tragedy. [$1.50, 
 Doubleday, New York ; 6s., Constable.]

 1904 
 
 Romance of a large tobacco plantation in Virginia twenty years ago. [Si. 50, Doubleday,

 The plain man is a " self-made " man of the people whom the Virginian aristocrats try to 
 ostracize and deprive of an aristocratic wife : time, the years after the Civil War. A 
 typical American story of matrimonial trials and their effect in developing the sterling 
 qualities of character. [S1.50, Macmillan, New York : o.p.]

 White Aprons : a Romance of Bacon's Rebellion in Virginia in 1676. 1896 
 
 The title alludes to the ruse employed by the rebels in placing the wives of Governor Berkeley's

 champion of popular liberty. The heroine comes to England and meets Dryden and 
 Pepys. [75c., Little & Brown, Boston ; 3s. 6d. n.. Dent.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Graham, John. The Great God Success. 1902 
 
 In the principal character, Howard, the author has exposed the baneful efiects of ambition 
 on a man's nature. His rise from an American newspaper ofl&ce to the embassy in London 
 gives opportunity for very full descriptions of many phases of life. [Si. 50, Stokes, Xew

 of Valhalla : a Romance of Early Christianity in Norway. 1907

 H.\NCOCK, Albert Ehner [b. 1870]. Henry Bourland: the Passing of a CavaUer. 
 
 1901 
 The author, a Northerner, endeavours to enter into the feelings of the South during the disas- 
 ters of the Ci\-il War and the stm more intolerable wTongs of the Reconstruction period 
 (1861-6). Urgent problems such as that of the negro are handled suggestively. The 
 hero is a Virginia gentleman, invested with the tragic charm of his order. [Si. 50, Mac- 
 miUan, New York : o.p.]

 The Georgians. 1904 
 
 Mam' Linda. 1907 
 
 Gilbert Neal. 1908 
 
 The Redemption of Kenneth Gait. 1909 
 
 The most striking of more than a dozen novels by a Georgian writer, picturing life mostly 
 in Georgian villages or country towns, the talk largely in the local patois. The plots are 
 based on moral problems. In The Svbstitute, a young man's life and love affairs are marred 
 for a season by his father's con\'iction for theft. Dwight, the candidate for the legisla- 
 ture, has to choose between humane instincts and the fury of the lynching populace who 
 flog Mam' Linda's son. Both Gilbert Neal and Abner Daniel, who reappears in The 
 Georgians, are great talkers, and their unworldly wisdom and practical sagacity express 
 Mr. Harben's feelings about life. He has the true American optimism and idealistic senti- 
 ment ; and this inspires his genial character-drawing, which is apt to escape appreciation 
 in the rush of exciting incident. Kenneth Gait is an ambitious railroad man whose crime 
 was the betrayal of a girl ; and we have not only his redemption but that of a 5'outh as 
 much sinned against as sinning, who was his scapegoat. [Ea. Si. 50 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 Harris, Corra May White [Mrs. L. H. Harris]. A Circuit Rider's Wife. 1911 
 
 The work of an American Methodist minister on circuit duty ; a very human storj- of his various 
 experiences as seen through the e\-es of his wife. [Si. 50, Altenus, Philadelphia ; 6s., 
 Constable.] 
 
 Harrison, Henry Lydnor. Queed. 1911 
 
 A very popular novel which gives a complacently realistic view of the crude social atmosphere 
 and the pushful ideals of American city life. Queed, the young " revolutionary sociologist," 
 an over-educated young man with " high-falutin " but useless ideas of his mission in life, 
 is seriously disenchanted by contact with actualities and the demands of a yellow newspaper 
 on which he is employed. [Si. 35 n-. Houghton, Boston ; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 Haworth, Paul Leland [b. 1876]. The Path of Glory. 1911 
 
 A workmanlike historical novel of the conquest of Canada, culminating in Wolfe's glorious 
 exploit at Quebec. [$1.25 n.. Little & Brown, Boston ; 6s., Ham-Smith.] 
 
 Henry, Arthur [6. 1867]. A Princess of Arcady. 1900 
 
 A dreamy, idyllic story portraying a number of unworldly and beautiful characters who are 
 very much out of tiieir element in the midst of modem civiMzation. The Paul and Virginia 
 of the tale play out their idyll on the Utopian stage of an islet within sight of New York. 
 A book full of sympathy with the best things in human nature, of love for children, for 
 animals and plant life. [S1.50, Doubleday, New York; 6s., Murray.]

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Herrick, Robert [&. 1868]. The Gospel of Freedom. 1898 
 
 [$1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 The Web of Life. 1900 
 
 A realistic, and to a great extent, a philosophic study of modern American life : the scene is 
 Chicago, and the writer gives searching views of society there. The hero is a doctor, and 
 the organization of medical practitioners is well brought out. Having saved the life of a 
 drunkard by an operation that injures the brain, he falls in love with the man's wife, and 
 the situation thus produced is a specimen of the problems raised. The story of the woman's 
 futile effort to realize her character in this chaos of repressing forces, and her suicide, is 
 tragic, but it is not unwholesome. [$1.50, Macmillan.] 
 
 Jock 0' Dreams ; or, The Real World. 1901 
 
 An analytical study of modern American society, which is presented in an odious light. 
 The hero tests by experience various kinds of life, and is repelled by the heartlessness 
 and self-indulgence that he sees. The aim is to show how each experience affects his 
 character. There is a pleasant glimpse of Harvard. [$1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Their Child. 1903 
 
 [50c. (2s. n.), Macmillan.] 
 
 The Common Lot. 1904 
 
 [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan,] 
 
 - Together. 1908 
 
 A long, serious, and rather ponderous study, in the differing cases of some half-dozen married 
 couples in moneyed New York, of the elements of character that make for or against a 
 perfect marriage union. The method is severely realistic, and the moral is brought home 
 to us by the natural development of circumstances. [Si. 50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 The Healer. 1911 
 
 Another very serious study of life's problems. The Wild Man is a medical idealist, sick- 
 ened by the commercialism of his profession, who goes into the wilds of Canada to lead a 
 life like Thoreau, practising as a healer in the settlements and among the Indians. -He saves 
 the life of a girl from the fashionable world, and marries her, thus opening up a new 
 problem, the working out of which has a tragic side. [$1.35 n. (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 HoDDER, Alfred [d. 1907]. The New Americans. 1901 
 
 A clever, analytical, and somewhat abstract study of manners and motives in half a dozen 
 leading characters and a large number of minor ; lacking in incident and monotonous in 
 subject, the style fashionably adorned with epigram. [51.50, Macmillan, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Hough, Emerson [b. 1857]. The Girl at the Half-way House : a Story of the Plains. 
 
 1900 
 
 A broad picture of life in the West at the time of the general movement to undeveloped 
 
 lands after the Civil War. Hero, a young captain in the Federal army, whose fortunes as 
 
 a pioneer, typical of a chapter in American national history, are more interesting than 
 
 his love-story. [Si. 50, 50c., Appleton, New York; 4s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Mississippi Bubble. 1900 
 
 John Law's love-story, escape from Newgate, adventures among Iroquois in New France, 
 and the success and failure of his gigantic bank (1696-1730). One of the ordinary run of 
 romances. [Si. 50, Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis ; 5s., is. n., Methuen.] 
 
 HowELLS, William Dean [b. 1837]. Their Wedding Journey. 1871 
 
 The experiences, great and small, the impressions and talk of a pair of Bostonians on their 
 honeymoon, to Canada and back. Few incidents, much moralizing and humour, and a 
 good deal of word-painting of New York, Niagara, and other well-lonown scenes. [$1.5°.

PRESENT DAY 
 
 HowELLS, William Dean {continued). — Their Silver Wedding Journey [sequel]. 1899 
 
 A sequel written much later. The Marches, now middle-aged, sail to Europe and wander 
 through Germany ; the incidents of the voyage and the things they see in the Continental 
 cities being conveyed in a chatty, impressionist manner. Among their fellow-travellers 
 are a young couple, over whose incipient love affair Mrs. March watches with maternal 
 fondness. [2 vols. S5, i vol. $1.50 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 A Chance Acquaintance. 1873 
 
 A more serious story. A highly cultivated gentleman from Boston, a courtly prig, attaches 
 himself to a party of tourists from the West, and wins the heart of a romantic and un- 
 sophisticated girl. The mutual attraction and utter incompatibility of the pair are deli- 
 cately indicated. The Bostonian's exclusiveness and over-refinement keep him hesitating, 
 and a happy accident reveals to the girl his real character. [$i, Houghton, Boston; 
 IS., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 A Foregone Conclusion. 1875 
 
 An " international novel ; the canals and palaces of Venice (where Mr. HoweUs was consul) 
 being the scene of the love drama. An Agnostic priest loves an American girl, but religious 
 prejudices and the misunderstandings natural to such an unusual case lead at length to 
 an unhappy ending. [$1.50, 50c., Houghton, Boston; is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 The Lady of the " The Aroostook." 1878 
 
 A love-story in which provincial manners in New England are delineated in a very interesting 
 way; the heroine an attractive girl, countrified without being vulgar. [$1.50, 50c., 
 Houghton, Boston ; 2 vols., 2s., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 The Undiscovered Country. 1880 
 
 A study of New England spiritualism, the Shakers, the spiritualistic aberrations of a mesmer- 
 ist, etc. [Si. 50, 50c., Houghton, Boston ; 2 vols., 2s., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 A Fearful Responsibility. 1881 
 
 The responsibility rests on an American professor in Venice with a young girl under his charge, 
 who is wooed by an AustrianofiScer. The love affair has an abortive conclusion, leaving 
 only a burden of regret to all concerned. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston; (with Tonelli's 
 Marriage), is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Doctor Breen's Practice. 1881 
 
 Dr. Breen is a young lady who adopts- the medical profession after an unfortunate love affair, 
 and practises in a small seaside town in Maine. She is an example of New England Puritan- 
 ism, strongly developed on the moral rather than the religious side. The story of her 
 love and marriage contains interesting sketches of summer boarding-house life. [$1.50, 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 A Modem Instance. _ 1883 
 
 Represents the latest pha^e of the author's realism, in which he approaches Henry James 
 most nearly, a realism characterized by extreme minuteness of detail and patient delinea- 
 tion of trivialities aijd commonplaces, the aim being to convey a full sense of life rather 
 than to tell a story. A faithful, if purely external picture of life in a Maine village. The 
 central figures are a journalist, an unprincipled fellow, whose smartness leads him into 
 evil courses, and his wife. He is a type of modem decadence ; she an eccentric character, 
 in whom religious and moral ideas have deteriorated into cast-iron rules. [$1.50, 50c., 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 7 Out of the Question ; and, At the Sign of the Savage. 1883 
 
 The first a little satire on the subject of caste and its despotic rule in American Society, almost 
 feminine in its insight into woman's character ; the other a light and humorous tale. 
 [$1.25, Houghton, Boston ; is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 A Woman's Reason. 1883 
 
 Has the characteristic elements, fine dissection, etc., along with some unusual romantic 
 details and fine descriptions of life on the Pacific atolls. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 471 
 
AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 HowELLS, William Dean {continued). — ^The Rise of Silas Lapham. 1885 
 
 Business here occupies much the same place as love in the average novel ; and along with 
 the romantic business there are interesting studies of character and feeling, and of the 
 fine shades in Boston society. The history of an ignorant and coarse-grained, but manly 
 person, who is brought into humorous contrast with the refined Society of the city, where 
 he has lived hitherto outside the pale of fashion and culture ; and then is shown making 
 head against commercial disasters, which chasten without weakening his character. 
 [$1.50, 50c., Houghton, Boston ; 2 vols., 2s., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 Indian Summer. 1886 
 
 A love drama among Americans in Florence ; done entirely in dialogue. The middle-aged hero, 
 an amiable and humorous man, still young in spirit, falls in love with a girl, but at the 
 end we find him united to a woman who suits him. The two female characters, and the 
 child Effie, unconscious instrument of the happy result, are delicately set before us in the 
 author's miniature style of portraiture. [$1.50, 50c., Houghton, Boston ; 6s., 2 vols. 2s., 
 Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 The Ministo's Charge ; or, The Apprenticeship of Lemuel Barker. 1887 
 
 An upright and Sincere but awkward, countrified boy is induced to go to Boston by the city 
 clergyman's praise of his verses. His homely nature is repelled by the conventions and 
 flippancy of Society ; and, discouraged in his literary ambition, he goes through various 
 humble employments, settling down as a country teacher. The clergyman, with his 
 efforts to do right with his flock, and his amiable fibs, is a very different character. 
 [$1.50, 50c., Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 April Hopes. 1887 
 
 The April time of courtship : the quarrels, reconciliations, and all the vicissitudes of comedy 
 and tragedy that chequer the loves of two young people. [S1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Annie Kilburn. 1888 
 
 Town and country life depicted in low tones ; the heroine, the ardent evangehst, the brilliant 
 bohemian, and other New Englanders are done in a life-like way. As a realistic treatment 
 of dipsomania the book is more serviceable than a tract. Several of the characters reappear 
 in The Quality of Mercy. [$1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 A Hazard of New Fortunes. 1890 
 
 More about Mr. and Mrs. March, who have come to New York, where he is to conduct a maga- 
 zine : their adventures in search of family apartments are an amusing episode. The 
 audacious and versatile Fulkerston, overflowing with vitality and humour, the mean and 
 aimless man of talent Beeton, and the family who have been enriched by a boom and are 
 trjfing to be fashionable, are drawn with sardonic humour and sage insight into human 
 nature. [$1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 An Imperative Duty. 1891 
 
 The casuistical question involved in this elaborate examination of motive is whether it was an 
 imperative duty to reveal the fact that the heroine is tainted with negro blood. [$i, 
 50C., Harper, New York ; is., Douglas, Edinburgh.] 
 
 The World of Chance. 1891 
 
 A shadowy story about the regeneration of society upon the principles inculcated by Tolstoy. 
 Peace Hughes, the daughter of a cranky Socialist, a strong, self-reliant girl, is an unusual 
 type among the author's heroines. [I1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Quality of Mercy. 1892 
 
 Gives a crowd of diverse characters, the defalcating treasurer of a company, whose fUght and 
 return are the gist of the story, his two daughters, the chairman of the company, and a 
 brace of young pressmen. [Si. 50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 — — The Coast of Bohemia. 1893 
 
 A love-novel (Mr. Howells excels in the handling of courtship), with a trio of characters, the 
 lovers and a romairtic friend. [Si. 50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 472 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 HowELLS, William Dean (continued). — ^A Traveller from Altruria. 1894 
 
 A Utopian novel, expounding the author's altruistic faith, formulated less distinctly in several 
 other novels. The Altrurian, in the course of a dialogue, passes in review the most striking 
 phenomena and tendencies of social life in America ; the snobbish exclusiveness and the 
 lack of sympathy, the tyranny of individualism incarnated in the millionaire. 0\'er 
 against this arraignment is placed the great Altrurian ideal of equality and Christian 
 brotherhood. [?i.50. Harper, New York.] 
 
 An Open-Eyed Conspiracy. 1897 
 
 " An Idyl of Saratoga," giving a vivid idea of the typically American life at this watering- 
 place. Merely relates how Mr. and Mrs. March had a beautiful country girl left in their 
 charge, and half-intentionaUy brought about an engagement between her and a young 
 author. A most ordinary adventure, told with minutest description of every step in its 
 progress, and with a sub-current of humour. [$i, Harper, New York; is., Douglas, 
 Edinburgh.] 
 
 The Story of a Play. 1898 
 
 More of a story. Mrs. Maxwell allows her own love-history to be utilized in the composition 
 of the play, and her feelings are wrung as a result of the indiscretion. Miniature-painting 
 of delicate shades of motive and feeling in a small group. [$1.50 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 Ragged Lady. 1899 
 
 The life of a New England girl from childhood to her second marriage. Round her are grouped 
 a variety of Americans, who are nearer to a comic t)rpe. Scenes, America and Italy. [$1.75 
 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 A Pair of Patient Lovers. 1901 
 
 Five stories representative of the author's latest manner, showing his style at its best. Three 
 are little comedies of courtship, with Mr. and Mrs. March posing once again as sympathetic 
 and abetting spectators. Slight, and as uneventful and unemotional as ever, but interest- 
 ing and ingratiating in their portraits of ordinary American men and women. [$1.15 n. 
 (5s. n.). Harper.] 
 
 The Kentons. 1902 
 
 The European tour of a retired judge and his famijy, and the embarrassments caused by the 
 attentions of an ineligible suitor to one of the daughters — a story told with kindly 
 humour and engaging portraiture of the ordinary people we meet in the world. [$1.50 
 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 Questionable Shapes. 1903 
 
 Three psychical stories. His Apparition is chiefly farce, but the two others are finer studies 
 of the mental effect of occult phenomena. In The Angel of the Lord, a man haunted by 
 the idea of death, loses his fear just before his end. Though One Rose from the Dead deals 
 in a very subtle way with the development of telepathy between a lonely wife and husband. 
 [I1.50 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 Letters Home. 1903 
 
 An intricate comedy of character and manners developed with masterly ease by means of 
 letters written by a set of nicely differentiated people. A strong feature of the book is the 
 freshness and charm with which it brings out the peculiar fascination New York has for 
 the stranger. [$1.50 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 — The Son of Royal Langbrith. 1904 
 
 A group of attractive people and a pleasing love affair. The title refers ironically to a son's 
 idealization of the memory of a worthless father. [$2 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 — Miss Bellard's Inspiration. 1905 
 
 The comedy of an engagement and the misunderstandings of a married pair, which suggest 
 such ideas of the risks of marriage to Miss Bellard that she breaks off with her lover. The 
 end, however, is not unhappy. [$1.50 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 473 
 
AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 HowELLS, William Dean (continued). — Between the Dark and the Daylight. 1907 
 
 A Sleep and a Forgetting, and six other stories of abnormal states of consciousness. [$1.50, 
 Harper.] 
 
 Through the Eye of the Needle : a Romance with an Introduction. 1907 
 
 A satirical picture of American society in New York by a visitor from Altruria, followed by a 
 description of the simplified and happy life of the Altrurians themselves, by the lady who 
 returns as his wife. [$1.50, Harper.] 
 
 Fennel and Rue. 1908 
 
 A superfine example of Mr. Howell's artistic skill in the delicate analysis of shades of tempera- 
 ment in over-sensitive people. A young novelist, a lion-hunting hostess, and a nervous 
 young lady who gets into a humiliating position are the characters. In ground plan, 
 little more than an episode, a situation composed of quite trivial elements, but the trivi- 
 alities are made to disclose factors of human individuality and human relation that 
 are full of subtle significance. [I1.50, Harper.] 
 
 Hubbard, Elbert [b. 1859]. Time and Chance. igoi 
 
 Introduces Capt. John Brown of Harper's Ferry. [$1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 Hudson, Charles Bradford. The Crimson Conquest : a Romance of Pizarro and 
 Peru. 1907 
 
 Fighting, love, and adventure in sixteenth-century Peru ; a Spanish captain and a princess 
 of the Incas. [$1.50, McClurg, Chicago ; 6s., De La More Press.] 
 
 Huntington, H. S. His Majesty's Sloop Diamond Rock. 1904 
 
 The " Sloop " is a rocky islet near Martinique fortified by the British in the time of the great 
 French wars (1802-3). [$1.50, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 HuED, Grace Marguerite. The Bennett Twins. 1900 
 
 The orphaned boy and girl live with a kind uncle until their seventeenth year. The boy de- 
 spises his uncle's bank business, and settles with his sister, who is a singer, in New York. 
 Their life in a studio for a year is described in detail. [$1.50, 75c., Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 HuTTEN ZUM Stolzenberg, Freifrau von [Bettina von Hutten, nee Riddle]. Pam. 
 
 1905 
 
 Pam Decides. 1906 
 
 Pam, the irregular relation of highly aristocratic people, is a girl of strong and very independent 
 character, who leads her own life in bohemian style in spite of her friends' affectionate 
 remonstrances. She is a vivid and a pathetic study of temperament. The whole story 
 is thoroughly alive and natural, without either the merits or the defects of mere literature. 
 Pam tells of this young girl's struggle against her passion for a " magerfu' man," as Barrie 
 would put it : the sequel, of her happier after-life and union with a reliable lover, [(i)

 York, sub tit. What Became of Pam, 6s., is. n., Heinemann.] 
 
 Beechy ; or. The Lordship of Love. 1909 
 
 The fascinating figure here is the beautiful daughter of a Roman noble and an English governess. 
 She is drawn with the same clever impressionism as Pam ; and her bohemian musical 
 life (in the days of popular opera in the early 'eighties), her stay with the dead governess's 
 suburban relations, and then her debut in Society as a musical star, are quite in the old ' 
 vein. An episode with an aristocratic Lothario gives the book its title. [$1.50, Stokes, 
 New York ; sub tit. The Lordship of Love, 6s., Hutchinson.] 
 
 The Green Patch. 1910 
 
 Three stories, each almost a novel in the importance of its material. Similar studies of tempera- 
 ment, chiefly attractive but ifi some cases the reverse, in the stress of married life. The

PRESENT DAY 
 
 James, Henry [6. 1843]. A Passionate Pilgrim ; and other Tales. 1875 
 
 The Passionate Pilgrim, American heir to an English estate, is a much-ideahzed hero, in whom 
 Anglomania becomes a dreamy poetic passion. Madame de Mauves, an American girl 
 married to a French nobleman, believed that ancient lineage meant everything noble 
 and refined, but is cruelly undeceived : the strength of the story is in her fine womanly 
 character. [$2, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Roderick Hudson. 1875 
 
 Roderick, an epitome of the strength and the weakness of genius, is a young American sculptor 
 taken to Italy by one of Mr. James's rich virtuosi. There, after spasmodic production 
 of a few masterpieces, the flame of his genius expires. He outrages the love of his be- 
 trothed, and flouts his benefactor ; but the thesis is that being by temperament unmoral 
 he is hardly blameworthy. [Revised edn. (1911), I2, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The American. 1877 
 
 A good example of the emigrd novel, scientifically expounding the differences of national and 
 personal character. A self-made American goes to Europe to enjoy his " pile," and be- 
 comes engaged to a French widow of noble family. The match is a good one for both 
 parties, but when the lady's relatives come to realize the immense social gulf that sunders 
 the pair, they break off the engagement. The pride and meanness of the old nobility are 
 amusingly contrasted with the American's pluck and good-nature. [ §2, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 The Europeans. 1878 
 
 A brother and sister from Europe, American by extraction, come to seek their fortune among 
 relatives near Boston. Great part of the interest is in the impression made on outsiders 
 by the serious and colourless life of these modern descendsmts of the Puritans. [$1.50, 
 Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 Daisy Miller : a Comedy. 1878 
 
 A dainty little tragi-comedy in Mr. James's simplest and most attractive style. Daisy is a 
 sprightly American girl on a holiday in Europe, whose high spirits and ignorance of the 
 conventions get her into risky situations and scandalize her compatriots. [§1.25, Hough- 
 ton, Boston ; $1.25, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Madonna of the Future ; and other Tales. 1879 
 
 International stories, chiefly about Americans on the Continent. The first is a delicate and 
 touching little character-portrait of an unfortunate painter in an American colony in 
 Italy, with his masterpiece that was never painted. For Madame de Mauves see above. 
 [Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 An International Episode. 1879 
 
 A social comedy turning on the problem whether an English nobleman will marry a beautiful 
 American girl. The lady is a dignified specimen of her countrywomen, proud, well-bred, 
 and too disinterested to give her hand where she does not give her heart. [$1.25, Harper, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Portrait of a Lady. 1881 
 
 Mr. James's later manner is now developing : copious analysis of devious, delicately shaded 
 emotion and motive, out of which there materializes an elaborate and suggestive portrait. 
 The Anglo-Americans are mostly disagreeable, and drawn with covert irony. [ $2, Houghton, 
 Boston.] 
 
 — The Siege of London ; The Point of View. 1883 
 
 In The Siege of London, a little comedy of manners, an adventuress of strong American pro- 
 clivities lays siege to an English baronet and wins him by sheer adroitness. In The Point 
 oj View we have impressionist sketches, " instantaneous mental photographs," of American 
 life, in the form of letters by Europeanized Americans ; and in The Pension Beauyepas, 
 studies of foreign Americans and native Americans as they appear to European eyes ; 
 with side-Hghts on the influence of foreign culture and other nice problems of nationality, 
 [(i), and Pension Beaurepas, $1.50, Houghton, Boston.]

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 James, Henry (continued). — Stories Revived. Two Series. 1885 
 
 The Author of" Beliraffio " gives the tragedy of the literary artist, on the personal and domestic 
 side of life. His wife represents the antagonistic, the philistine, spirit. She sacrifices her 
 son rather than allow him to fall a prey to the malign influence of his father's heterodox 
 writings. Pandora sketches a new type, the self-made American girl, a product of recent 
 tendencies in American Society. Five other stories in the first series and seven in the other, 
 of which several, e.g. The Last of the Valerii and The Romance of Certain Old Clothes, 
 trench on the supernatural. [Macmillan : o.p.] 
 
 — ■ — The Bostonians. 1886 
 
 C. F. Richardson calls this, " Of all his works the best illustrative type : long, dull and incon- 
 sequential, but mildly pleasing the reader, or at times quite dehghting him, by a deliberate 
 style which is enjoyable for its own sake, by a calm portraiture which presents the char- 
 acters with silhouette clearness, and by some very faithful and dehcately humorous pic- 
 tures of the life and scenery of eastern Massachusetts." The humanitarianism rampant 
 in Boston society, the affairs of various people in love, an elopement, and the question 
 whether the runaway couple will be happy or starve, are the chief points of interest. 
 [$1.25, Macmillan, New York: o.p.] 
 
 — The Princess Casamassima. 1886 
 
 The later doings of an American adventuress whose ambitious guardian secured a prince for 
 her husband, as related in Roderick Hudson, the hero of which she captivated. Scene 
 transferred to London, where the Princess, hating her husband, amuses herself by 
 sympathizing and making love with the Socialists. She is an excellent specimen 
 of the " dangerous " woman ; a vagabond by birth, an empress in her superb 
 egoism and reckless generosity, potentially an angel or a fiend. [$1.75, Macmillan, New 
 York : o.p.] 
 
 — The Aspem Papers ; and other Stories. 1888 
 
 A writer is anxious to secure, as material for his life of the poet Aspern, certain papers which 
 are supposed to be in the custody of an old lady-love of the poet's in Florence. With in- 
 finite trouble and address he contrives to overcome the privacy of the lady, his tactful 
 diplomacy is about to be rewarded, when the whole thing turns out to be a misunder- 
 standing. [Si, Macmillan, New York: o.p.] 
 
 — The Reverberator. 1888 
 
 A comedy of manners with two lines of interest ; incompatibility between a cultivated family 
 of South Carolinians settled in France and the vulgar relatives of a pretty American girl 
 loved by the son ; and the scandalous violation of private life by modem journalism. 
 [Si, Macmillan, New York : o.p.] 
 
 — The Tragic Muse. 1891 
 
 The result of Mr. James's experiments with theatrical work. Marks a new development in his 
 art — " an immense and exquisite correspondence with life." " The quick development 
 of an uncouth girl into a famous actress." [2 vols., S2.50, Houghton, Boston.] 
 
 — The Lesson of the Master ; and other Stories. 1892 
 
 First" a piece of ironical comedy — a man takes the advice of one whom he reverences, and 
 finds that while he has made the mistake of his life the other has, all unconsciously, reaped 
 the benefit. In Brooksmith the rare personality of a butler is subtly drawn, a trophy of 
 the author's untiring quest for preciosities of character. Sir Edmund Orme is a new kind 
 of ghost-story exampled later in the full-length novelette A Turn of the Screw (1898). 
 [Si, Macmillan, New York: o.p.] 
 
 — The Real Thing ; and other Tales. 1893 
 
 The Real Thing illustrates the author's theories of art, and throws much light on the impres- 
 sionism, as opposed to actuality, of his later work. A broken-down lady and gentleman 
 ofier themselves to an illustrator as models, supposing themselves, as being the " real 
 thing," infinitely superior to the professional, who merely poses ; but the artist in 
 the end thinks differently. Literary and artistic life comes in a good deal in .these 
 five stories ; e.g. in Greville Fane, a humorous story of a successful " lady novelist." 
 [%i, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 476 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 James, Henry (continued). — ^The Wheel of Time ; and other Stories. 1894 
 
 Two other stories, Owen Wingrave and Collaboration. The latter resembles The Lesson of the 
 Master in motive ; a young French writer wishing to collaborate with a German musician, 
 gives up his sweetheart on account of her anti-Teutonic animus ; and in the sequel the 
 German wins her. [$i, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Terminations. 1895 
 
 The Death of the Lion makes game of a clique of admirers gathered round a decadent novelist, 
 who dies of a cold while they are waiting to hear him read his MS. The Middle Years 
 portrays a young novelist of promise who is dying, and, in spite of a friend's devotion, 
 expires with a prayer on his lips for another chance to carry out his life's work. The A liar 
 of the Dead illustrates the writer's growing fondness for mystical themes. A man founds an 
 altar for those he loved who have passed away, and institutes a kind of sacramental service. 
 The dinouement has a surprising turn. [$1.25, Harper, New York ; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 — The Other House. 1896 
 Contains a fine tragic character in Rose Armiger, a nature of repressed but passionate energy. 
 
 Culminates in an unwonted outbreak of emotion. [Si. 50, Macmillan, New York : o.p. ; 
 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 — The Spoils of Poynton. 1897 
 
 A domestic comedy hingeing on the destinies of a fine old country house, full of articles of 
 virtu, which an elderly lady who is passionately fond of the place schemes to retain when 
 her son, the actual owner, gets married. The heart-burnings and squabbles are terminated 
 by a very ironical catastrophe. .[S1.50, Houghton, Boston ; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 — What Maisie Knew. ' 1897 
 Illustrates Mr. James's growing fondness for secondary impressionism — the witnesses or 
 
 recorders being sometimes plural, the reader having to piece together their observations 
 into a significant story. " An attempt to print the figure of life as it falls upon the very 
 acute vision of a little girl." Maisie is the child of divorced parents, with whom she lives 
 alternately, being the involuntary observer of a sordid intrigue. [?i.50. Stone, Chicago ; 
 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 — In the Cage. 1898 
 A telegraph girl's glimpses of high Society. She takes a keen interest in a love affair, and out 
 
 of the telegrams passing through her hands, pieces together a romance. [Si. 25, Stone, 
 Chicago ; 3s. 6d.; Duckworth.] 
 
 — The Two Magics. 1898 
 The Turn of the Screw, a ghost-story of an extremely subtle and thrilling kind, a novel sort of 
 
 psychical masterpiece for which Sir Edmund Orme was a study. Tells how two spirits 
 of evil strive to ruin the souls of two innocent children. Covering End is a little comedy 
 conctmed with the doings of a captivating American, who makes a raid on an old country 
 house after the manner of her compatriots. Both are written in the author's most ad- 
 vanced style. [$1.50, Macmillan, New York; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 — The Awkward Age. 1899 
 His latest method of projecting the most delicate and exotic shades of psychological phenomena, 
 
 as it were, on to a screen of things said and things suggested, is shown here in full swing. 
 Portrays the manners, characters, and reciprocal influences of a coterie of smart degenerates. 
 The incidents slight, the action purely intellectual and emotional, the dialogue so nebulous 
 and allusive that a sustained effort is needed to follow it. [Si. 50, Harper, New York ; 
 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 — The Soft Side. 1900 
 More studies of psychical phenomena and of the abnormal. John Delaroy contrasts the vulgar 
 
 attitude of an editor anxious to exploit a dead writer's life with the reverent affection of 
 his sister. Europe anatomizes the feelings of three ladies, obliged to postpone their tour 
 on the Continent because their aged mother will not die. The Great Good Place is a study of 
 an intangible phase of consciousness, dreamland and its connections with waking thoughts. 
 Paste describes the suspicions aroused through the discovery of a valuable necklace among 
 the effects of a deceased lady of moderate means. Some of these psychical and fantastic 
 stories are of a still more esoteric kind. [Si-So, Macmillan, New York ; 6s., Methuen.] 
 
 477 
 
AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 James, Henry [continued). — The Sacred Fount. 1901 
 
 A further example of his taste for occult ideas in their psychological aspects. A Society sketch 
 in which is elaborated the fanciful idea that youth may be a fount to rejuvenate age. 
 [$i, 50C., Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Wings of the Dove. 1902 
 
 Consummate portraiture in his most characteristic style, chiefly of women ; fine, shadowy — 
 not seldom obscure — ^subtly elaborate in its process of building up by means of minute 
 detail with very little action. Theme, the pathos of wealth overcoming a seemingly in- 
 corruptible mind. [2 vols. §2. 50, Scribner, New York ; i vol. 6s., Constable.] 
 
 The Ambassadors. 1903 
 
 Here Mr. James's analysis of social relations and the subtleties of mental atmosphere becomes 
 more and more labyrinthine and tenuous, the conversational style more allusive, and the 
 story more enigmatic. The chief ambassador is the suitor of an American lady, sent to 
 Europe to enquire into the goings on of her son in Paris, who is entangled in a friend- 
 ship — or liaison — with a lady divorced from her husband. [$2, Harper, New York ; 6s., 
 Methuen.] 
 
 The Better Sort. - 1903 
 
 Eleven stories of which The Beast in the Jungle and The Birthplace may be considered t3rpical. 
 Both are curious psychological studies. In the former, a man's life is embittered by his 
 conviction that he is marked out for a terrible calamity, inconceivable and unexampled ; 
 and he realizes, just too late, that he has missed a great blessing which lay ready to his 
 hand — that is the calamity, the unknown "beast in the jungle." The point of the other 
 is the effect upon a cultivated and critical being, caretaker and showman of a literary 
 shrine — it might be at Stratford-on-Avon — with a legend attached to it having very little 
 basis in ascertained fact. [$1.50, Scribner, New York; 6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Golden Bowl. 1905 
 
 Exhibits by the same method of suggestive and allusive dialogue the sophisticated emotions, 
 the sentimental finessing, obscure jealousies, and unspoken suspicions of a group of over- 
 civilized people — an Indian prince engaged to the daughter of a rich American connoisseur, 
 a brilliant American girl whom he had once loved and may love still, and others, a set of 
 finely executed portraits. [2 vols. §2.50, Scribner, New York; i vol. 6s., Methuen.] 
 
 The Finer Grain. 1910 
 
 Five stories which are polished examples of delicate art — close-patterned mosaics of his meticu- 
 lous psychology — and at the same time tolerably free from the later mannerisms of Mr. 
 James. The Velvet Glove records an incident in the life of an eminent author, who is en- 
 treated by a lady to write a log-rolling preface to her trashy novel. The Bench of Desola- 
 tion is unusually full of tender emotion ; it tells how a man and a woman who parted 
 under threats of a breach-of-promise action come together again after many years. 
 [$1.25 n., Scribner, New York.] 
 
 — The Outcry. 19" 
 
 A comedy of to-day rich in implications of characteristic subtlety, about a great picture, the 
 authorship of which provides the experts with a nice controversy, and its threatened 
 sale to America. A peer in need of ready money, his daughter's matrimonial schemes 
 complicated by various side-issues, her caddish aristocratic suitor, the pushing American 
 millionaire who bids extravagant thousands for the picture, the young art critic of the 
 scientific school, are combined into a straightforward story, the psychology of which is 
 made much clearer than has been Mr. James's wont in the later novels. [$1.25 n., Scribner, 
 New York ; 6s., Methuen.]

 York.] 
 
 478 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 Jervey, Theodore. The Elder Brother. 1907 
 
 Owen Waster refers to this book in the preface to Lady Baltimore (q.v.). Its importance hes 
 in the thoughtful consideration given to the political, social, and racial problems that 
 have arisen in the South as the legacy from the Reconstruction period. [$1.50, Neale 
 Pub. Co., Washington.] 
 
 Johnson, Owen McMahon \h. 1878]. Arrows of the Almighty. 1901 
 
 A study of American life in the period immediately following the Civil War, the interest 
 centring in the development of character in a man who feels the natures inherited from 
 father and mother, struggling in himself, as it were, for mastery. Covers nearly forty 
 years. [$1.50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 In the Name of Liberty. 1905 
 
 A ghastly picture of the crimes and atrocities of the maddened populace — the minor and un- 
 known characters in the frightful tragedy of the Terror (1792-3) — set in a grimmer light 
 by contrast with Nicole's love-idyll. [$1.50, Century Co., New York; sub tit. Nicole,

 Max Fargus. 1906 
 
 [$1.50, Baker & Taylor, New York.] 
 
 Johnston, Mary \h. 1876]. Prisoners of Hope. 1898 
 
 A hot-coloured romance of Virginia (c. 1649-51), when the colony was seething with dis- 
 affection caused by the sending of rebels to the plantations. The hero, one of the convicts 
 sold into this slavery, joins in a rising against the Government. His love for his master's 
 daughter leads to a series of sensational events. Much description of the landscapes and 
 the stately homes of Virginia, in the times of Sir William Berkeley. [$1.50, Hough- 
 ton, Boston: o.p. ; sub tit. The Old Dominion, 6s., 2S. 6d. n.. Constable.] 
 
 To Have and to Hold. 1900 
 
 A beautiful maid-of-honour, ward of the king, escapes a libertine nobleman, the king's favourite, 
 by fleeing to Virginia with the cargo of brides sent out by the Company (1621) . She marries 
 a rough, staunch settler, a famous swordsman, who defends his wife against the favourite, 
 and they meet with strange adventures. Daringly and dazzlingly unreal, full of vigorous 
 movement. Characters boldly outlined and polychromatic scenery. [$1.50, Houghton, 
 Boston ; sub tit.. By Order of the Company, 6s., 2s. 6d. n.. Constable.] 
 
 Audrey. 1902 
 
 A very romantic story of Virginia (1727), the hero a rich proprietor and man of fashion, the 
 heroine, daughter of a backwoodsman, robbed of home and relatives by the Indians. 
 There is a poetical touch in the character-drawing, particularly in that of Audrey. [§1.50, 
 Houghton, Boston ; 6s., 2s. 6d. n.. Constable.] 
 
 Sir Mortimer. 1904 
 
 A romance of the Spanish Main, introducing Queen Elizabeth, Drake, Thomas Doughty, etc., 
 and successfully attempting the euphuistic speech of the period. [$1.50, Houghton, 
 Boston ; 2S. 6d. u.. Constable.] 
 
 Lewis Rand. 1908 
 
 Rand is the son of a tobacco-planter, in the days of Hamilton, Jefferson, and Aaron Burr, 
 when animosities were keen between Republicans and Federalists (c. 1805), who by ability 
 and egotism rises to distinction in the State, but becomes implicated in Burr's conspiracy, 
 and in a fit of passion commits a murder. Strong in intense style of character-drawing. 
 [$1.50, Houghton, Boston ; 50c., Grosset, New York ; 6s., 2s. 6d. n.. Constable.] 
 
 The Long Roll. 1911 
 
 Like the last, this contains at least as much history as romance, and the account of the Valley 
 Campaign and the opening chapters of the Civil War (1861) are extremely full and minute. 
 Stonewall Jackson is drawn on a large scale as the hero, and there are many smaller 
 portraits of his subordinates, the life of a particular regiment being vividly presented.

 Eden has had a knockabout life as a sailor, and falling in love with a girl used to middle-class 
 refinement and luxuries, tries to write. He is rejected by editors, and the girl jilts him. 
 The abysmal contrast between the genius of this man, his vital ideals and the big realities 
 of life, and, on the other hand, the narrow, unintelligent mediocrity of the " cultured "

 A romance of the Peasants' Revolt, 1381, in Richard II's reign, distinguished by powerful 
 treatment of emotional scenes. Based on a study of authorities, and avowedly owing 
 much to William Morris's Dream of John Ball, the book reflects sympathetically the feel- 
 ings and aspirations of men like Wyclifie and Ball. The author of Piers Plowman is 
 introduced in a new and unromantic light. [$1.50, Macmillan, New York : o.p.]

 one has a tragic motive. [$1.25, Century Co., New York.]

 The earlier part is a story of action, camps and battles in the Civil War; the latter a love 
 idyll. [Si. 25, Century Co., New York.] 
 
 Far in the Forest. 1889 
 
 A tale of the great Pennsylvanian forest before the War, when life in that wild region was 
 of an heroic kind. Not so much a romance as a story of character and the interaction of 
 character. Two personages stand out above the rest, the heroine, who is introduced to 
 us at the bedside of her dying husband, and the German scientist whom fate brings into 
 her life at this crisis. [$1.50, Century Co., New York ; 6s., Unwin.]

 Hugh Wynne, Free Quaker. 1897 
 
 An aged Quaker's story of the men and the events of the War of Independence. Washington 
 and Lafayette, Major Andre, Howe, and Dr. Rush are drawn at length. Makes a good 
 deal of the contrast between the old Quaker society, with its ideals of brotherly love, 
 and the battles, duels, plots, and bitterness prevailing around. [?i.50. Century Co., 
 New York ; 6s., Unwin.] 
 
 The Red City : a Novel of the Second Administration of President

 The death-bed narrative of a rascally doctor. A curious study of the mind of a professional 
 cheat, the medical details handled realistically, the author being himself an accompUshed 
 physician. His professional knowledge stands him in good stead also in The Case of 
 George Dedlow, the story of a soldier who had all his limbs amputated and nearly lost his

 A New York stockbroker, threatened with heart disease, is sent by his doctor into the country 
 to lead a natural existence, in other words, " to cease to live," for a year. This is the record 
 of the semi-animal life of himself and his son, his talks with a rough and hearty old doctor, 
 and his love passages with a country girl. The writer is a sort of sophisticated Thoreau, 
 a lover and an observer of nature, and prone to meditate on what he sees. But in his reveries 
 he always has an eye for effect, and his style scintillates with smart sayings and allusions.

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 NoRRis, Frank. McTeague: a Story of "San Francisco. 1899 
 
 Powerfully realistic, entirely ugly. A view of Calif ornian life in its more commonplace and 
 depressing aspects. McTeague, strong and stupid as a cart-horse, is not much more than 
 a study of human animalism ; the other characters are on a par. It is a story of gradual 
 . degeneracy under the influence of poverty, loveless wedlock, and, in two cases, of a con-

 Blix : a Love Idyll. 1899 
 
 A young journalist and a girl of strong, wholesome character enter into a partnership which 
 
 develops by insensible degrees into a closer affection. The same Zolaesque reproduction

 The Octopus : a Story of California. 1901 
 
 First part of a " trilogy " that was to show the realities and iniquities of the brutal and selfish 
 
 struggle of the capitalists against the community. On the one side are set the producers 
 in their remote Californian valley, with the consumers depending on them for their food 
 supply ; on the other side the capitalists holding the community at their mercy while they 
 juggle with the market. An ugly picture of the elemental maladies that threaten to ruin 
 the whole scheme of human organization. [$1.50, Doubleday, New York ; yd. n.. Nelson.] 
 
 The Pit. 1903 
 
 Continues.the story of the wheat, with a new set of characters and in a less vaticinatory style. 
 This is a " fictitious narrative of a deal in the Chicago wheat-pit," and it brings painfully 
 home to us the inhuman game of speculation which controls the production and distribu- 
 tion of our food. A picture great in plan, Zolaesque in its minute, precise, and animated 
 presentment of teeming, energetic life and the collision of multitudinous interests. The 
 Wolf, which was to deal with a famine in an Old- World community, wa.s never written.

 man. He becomes a favourite on shipboard, and every chance is given him to escape,

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Page, Thomas Nelson {continued). — The Burial of the Guns ; and other Stories. 
 
 1894 
 
 Six tales of the days before and after the Civil War, depicting the South, with deep affection 
 for the old patriarchal society but without blindness to its darker side. The Burial of 
 the Guns is a gallant, pathetic episode of the last phases of the war. This and the others 
 contain some very tender and affecting sketches of character. [ $ i .25, Scribner, New York ; 
 3s. 6d.i Ward & Lock.] 
 
 Red Rock. 1898 
 
 A crowded story of the Reconstruction period, centring in the Red Rock plantation and its 
 strange vicissitudes of ownership. The unhappy Southern landowners and their faithful 
 negroes are dra'wn sympathetically ; and, on the other hand, the detested " carpet- 
 baggers," the persecuting instruments of the Federal Government, appear in an odious 
 light. [$1.50, Scribner, New York ; 2s., Heinemann.] 
 
 Gordon Keith. • 1903 
 
 Long and prolix — the biography of a Southern gentleman, put forward as an exemplar of 
 Southern virtues. Son of a ruined planter, he gets his living in many walks of life, giving

 in New York, with too ample records of many love affairs. [$1.50, Scribner, New York ;

 John IVEarvel, Assistant. 1909 
 
 A novel on the same ample scale, dealing with the friendship and deep affection of three men 
 who meet in a Southern college, their work as pastor, as Socialist teacher, etc., and the 
 different issues of their love for the same girl. A good study of the development of char-

 Has been described as " a sort of idealized Esther Waters." Eva's married life is a failure, and

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Peake, Elmore Elliot (continued). — The Darlingtons. 1901 
 
 Typical of the latest American realism, honest and scrupulously faithful to everyday life, 
 minutely biographical, often tedious, and not much concerned with Uterary form. A 
 railroad centre in the West is the scene, and the principal characters are the family of a 
 railroad president, immersed in railway business. In one son an interesting case of dipso- 
 mania is studied, but the most attractive personalities are the spirited, self-reUant daughter 
 and her lover, a Methodist minister, a " character " in every sense of the word. [$1.50,

 acters, and real friends of Mr. and Mrs. Pennell, like Whistler, Phil May, Beardsley, Fehx

 Novels displaying more honest — ^if prejudiced — reahsm than literary grace. Mr. Phillips 
 stands for the middle-class view of the luxuries, folUes, and sins of the uppermost class in 
 America, which he depicts in a rough and merciless style, not without indicating an obvious 
 moral. He is particularly hard on the gilded, selfish, and imperious women of the upper 
 ten, and he was shot in 1911, it is said by a self-appointed avenger of the sex. [Ea. $1.50, 
 Stokes, New York.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Phillips, David Graham (continued). — The Master Rogue : the Confessions of 
 a Croesus. 1903 
 
 The history of a clerk in a dry-goods store who makes up his mind to be a milUonaire and does 
 it. A brutal, sordid story from the objective point of view. The Rogue dies, worth a 
 hundred millions, more wretched than a beggar, the abhorred of all mankind, including 
 his own family. [?i.50, McClure, New York; 6s., De La More Press.]

 wealth away from them in order that they may be hardened by the same struggle as he 
 had gone through. [$1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — Light-Fingered Gentry. 1907 
 
 Explores the inner working of the great insurance companies and the luxurious Uves of the 
 plutocrats of Fifth Avenue. [$1.50, Appleton, New York; 75c., Grosset, New York.] 
 
 — Old Wives for New. 1908 
 
 A very drastic handling of the situation, common where divorce is easy, in which a man who 
 married in a fit of youthful passion finds at forty that his wife is intolerably commonplace 
 and unsympathetic, and hankers after his fair allowance of romance. Hardly literature, 
 being written with total unconsciousness of style ; but almost all the characters except 
 the hero — a Byronic milhonaire — are drawn naturally and convincingly, and not without 
 traces of humour, especially the commonplace wife and her pathetic struggles with obesity. 
 A railway accident, a nlurder, and other exciting incidents add to the interest of candid 
 reaUsm some of the attractions of the ordinary plot-novel. [$1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 — The Fashionable Adventures of Joshua Craig. 1909 
 
 A low-bred, blatant, self-made politician (said to be drawn from life) by sheer force of cheek 
 and bluff compels a refined lady of the highest Washington society to think herself in love 
 and to marry him. Remarkable for a brutal but masterly handUng of difficult psycho- 
 logical crises, and a savage kind of realism in the character-drawing. [$1.50, Appleton, 
 New York ; 50c., Grosset, New York.] 
 
 — The Hungry Heart. 1909 
 
 The organ alluded to belongs to a well-educated, intellectual, and energetic young lady, 
 married to a rich Southerner, whose life is monopolized by chemical experiments in quest 
 of a new fuel. She feels herself neglected, sees no object in life, and takes up with another 
 man. This study of the feminine need of love — and love that means full companionship 
 in the serious business of hfe — is admitted even by women to show a thorough knowledge 
 of the female heart. [$1.50, Appleton, ' New York; 3s. n., Heinemann.] 
 
 — The Husband's Story. 1910 
 
 A savage impeachment of the snobbishness of the American rich and the European aristocrat, 
 especially the female snob as exemplified in a wife of the commonest origin who is Society- 
 mad. The author's sympathies are with the husband, who by tireless energy piles up 
 miUions for his wife to spend. Though his style is often uncouth, his downright, brutal 
 sincerity, strong " horse sense," and determination to tell the nastiest truths about the 
 vile basis of millionairedom and the foohshness of the lazy classes, makes this not only a 
 biting satire, but a handbook for sociologists. He says, " Caste is made by those who look 
 up, not by those who look down." [$1.50 (6s.), Appleton.]

 A doctor's son comes back to his birthplace in a remote corner of the Tennessee woodlands, 
 where life moves slowly ; there he makes friends with the homely folk, and loves a beautiful

 wins the quiet happiness for which he longs. [Si, Rand McNally, Chicago.]

 Sandy. 1905 
 
 • Captain June. 1907 
 
 Mr. 0pp. 1909 
 
 Half -comic, half-pathetic stories, with a strong dash of not unwholesome sentiment, that might 
 
 have been fathered by the Dickens of A Christmas Carol, though the humour has the right 
 American flavour. The favourite scene is on the outskirts of a town, where the brave 
 widow, Mrs. Wiggs, the orphan, Lovey Mary, and other children, old and young, talk 
 delightfully and distinguish themselves in domestic emergencies. Sandy is an Irish stowa- 
 way. Mr. Opp is the great-hearted proprietor of the Opp Eagle, and, like all Mrs. Rice's 
 best characters, a charming blend of the subUme and the ridiculous. [Ea. $1, Century Co.,

 [$1.25 n., Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Children of the Tenements. . 1903 
 
 The writer is a well-known sociologist and agitator in the cause of social reform. He was a police 
 
 reporter in New York, and took an active part in the small-parks movement and in tenement- 
 house reform. These books are really sociological studies. [$1.50 (6s.), 50c., Macmillan.]

 [$i n., Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis.] 
 
 The Castaway. 1904 
 
 An enthusiastic romance depicting Byron in the most favourable colours, and his enemies in 
 
 the ughest. Brings in the notabihties of his day, but is careless about dates. [$i n., 
 Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapohs ; .75c., Wessels, New York ; 6s., CoUier.] 
 
 Robins, Elizabeth [" C. E. Raimond "]. George Mandeville's Husband. 1894 
 
 Pure comedy ending unexpectedly in doleful tragedy. Some satire on recent features of 
 society : the egotistic and empty authoress who terrorizes her spouse with her conceited 
 faith in her mission may very well have been drawn from hfe. [$1.50, Appleton, New 
 York ; 2s. 6d. n., Heinemann.] 
 
 The New Moon. 1895 
 
 A pathetic version of the not unhackneyed case of a clever man, married prematurely to a silly 
 wife, finding too late a woman he can love. The lovers are strong-minded and self- 
 restrained, but the struggle to be true to their principles is almost too much for human 
 nature. A tragic accident cuts the Gordian knot. [$i, Appleton, New York: o.p.; 
 2s. 6d. n., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Open Question : a Tale of Two Temperaments. 1899 
 
 A problem of character and heredity, the love of two cousins marked down as victims to con- 
 sumption. Life and society in the defeated Southern States are both well delineated, and 
 ' Mrs. Gano, though a subordinate character, is among those racy creations with whom one's 
 
 memories of a book often become identified. [$1.50, Harper, New York ; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Magnetic North. 1904 
 
 A vivid account of the hardships suffered by the emigrants on the long Yukon trail, of Esqui- 
 maux Ufe, and the building and management of a camp by the gold-diggers, is the finest 
 part of this Klondyke novel. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 A Dark Lantern : a Story with a Prologue. 1905 
 
 An ethical and psychological problem : the heroine, who has the author's sympathies, enters 
 
 into an illicit union with a doctor. [S1.50, Macmillan, New York ; 6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 The Convert. 1907 
 
 [$1.50, MacmiUan, New York.] 
 
 Come and Find Me. 1908 
 
 Another story of the frozen north and the gold fever, equally remarkable as a piece of enthral- 
 ling narrative : the personal drama rather laboured in the psychology and far less in- 
 teresting than TAe Magjzeijc AToj-M. [$1.50, Century Co., New York ; 6s.,|Heinemann.]

 ScuDDER, Vida Button [b. 1861]. The Disciple of a Saint : being the Imaginary 
 Biography of Raniero de Landoccio dei Paglairesi. 1907 
 
 A very delicate and a fairly complete character-portrait of St. Catherine of Siena (see also 
 B. Capes's Love Story of St. Be/), through the imaginary memoirs of her secretary, a young 
 Tuscan poet. The chief historical figures form a background to portraits of less-known or 
 fictitious people, on whose lives the influence of the saint is finely brought out. [S1.50, 
 Dutton, New York ; 4s. 6d. n.. Dent.]

 Sinclair, Upton [b. 1878]. The Jungle. 1906 
 
 Raised an extraordinary agitation both in America and in Europe by its revelations of the 
 corrupt and unsanitary methods of the Chicago meat-packers. Its equally scathing indict- 
 ment of their brutal and immoral conduct towards their workpeople excited little comment.

 The Metropolis. 1908 
 
 ■ The Money-changers [sequet]. 1908 
 
 First parts of a " trilogy " to be completed in The Machine. Modern commercialism, the 
 methods of the Trusts, and the panic of 1907 are the themes, the newspaper reporter, who 
 ostensibly writes the story, maintaining that the panic was really the work of the mil- 
 lionaire " money-changers " of New York, who were in league to stultify the President's 
 campaign against the Trusts, [(i) $1.50, Mofiat, New York; 6s., Heinemann; (2)

 Montlivet, a chivalrous Frenchman, rescues the English heroine from the Indians, in the days

 Character-portraits of people in the South : an extravagant but noble-hearted old Yankee ; 
 his devoted henchman, Chad, an ex-slave ; and other old-fashioned folks. Draws an 
 Arcadian picture of the relations between master and slave, now master and man, with a 
 regretful feeling for the splendours of the old regime. Largely in dialect, the negro patois 
 making the anecdotes irresistibly funny. [§1.25, Houghton, Boston; 3s. 6d., Harper,

 "Tom" is a woman of extraordinary will-power and physique, who prosecutes her husband's 
 trade, that of stevedore in New York harbour, after his death, in spite of hostility on the 
 part of the union — a rare compound of virihty and true womanliness. This is the narrative 
 of a grim episode in her life, her brave and stubborn fight with the unscrupulous 
 Knights of Labour. [$1.50, Houghton, Boston; 50c., Wessels, New York; 6s., Macmillan,

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Wells, David Dwight [d. 1900]. Parlous Times: a Novel of Modem Diplomacy. 
 
 1901 
 
 A farcical story of life in the City of London and financial intrigues on the part of a S. Ameiucan 
 
 cabinet, with a young diplomatist as hero ; most amusing from the author's grotesque 
 
 ignorance of English manners and customs. [$1.50, Holt, New York ; 4s., Heinemann.] 
 
 Wharton, Edith [Newbold, nee Jones ; b. 1862]. The Greater Inclination. 1899 
 
 Eight clever studies in the art of story-telUng, dissecting various phases of social life ; e.g. 
 A Coward and Belated Souls. On the whole, sardonic and sad, yet not devoid of humorous 
 relief. [$1.50, Scribner, New York; 6s., Lane.] 
 
 A Gift from the Grave. 1900 
 
 An episode in a man's moral life studied as a psychological problem. In order to win the 
 
 woman he loves he sells the love-letters written to him by a distinguished lady. Later, 
 as his better nature reasserts itself, he realizes with bitter remorse the contemptible 
 meanness of his act. [2s. 6d. n., Murray.] 
 
 Crucial Instances. 1901 
 
 Various ; the American stories in the style of Messrs. James and Howells, e.g. Recovery, Copy, 
 
 and The Angel at the Grave touch on the ways of authors and the humours of the literary 
 life. The others are of a different type. Art is of more moment than the subject in these 
 studied essays in the short story. [$1.50, Scribner, New York ; 5s. n., Murray.] 
 
 The Valley of Decision. 1902 
 
 A very long and slow-moving novel about a north Italian duchy (1774-95). The education and 
 young manhood of the heir-presumptive, who assimilates Rousseau, Voltaire, and Diderot, 
 and tries to establish a constitution, afford an elaborate study of temperament, intellect, 
 and will during the struggle of ideas before the French Revolution. [$1.50, Scribner, 
 New York ; 6s., Murray.] 
 
 Sanctuary. 1903 
 
 A penetrating study of some difficult problems in casuistry. A woman of fine instincts marries 
 a man whose moral nature she has found lacking, and tries to save her son from the con- 
 sequences of the taint which he has inherited. The analysis of temperament is very keen. 
 [$1.50, Scribner, New York; 3s. 6d., Macmillan: o.p.] 
 
 The Descent of Man ; and other Stories. 1904 
 
 Ten stories as remarkable for their artistic parcimony as for their craftsmanship. In the title- 
 story, a professor's squib at the expense of pseudo-scientific books is taken so seriously, 
 and brings in such big cheques, that he succumbs to the temptation to write popular and 
 profitable rubbish, and abandons his hfe-work. The Other Two is a very human story of 
 the embarrassments a man falls into by marrying a woman with two divorced husbands. 
 Comic and tragic irony and sternly uncompromising logic are the peculiar characteristics 
 of Mrs. Wharton's art. [$1.50, Scribner, New York; 6s., Macmillan: o.p.] 
 
 The House of Mirth. 1905 
 
 The sad career of a beautiful moneyless girl in plutocratic New York. Searching studies of 
 
 character and emotion ; witty and epigrammatic satire of the variously differentiated 
 grades of smart Society. [$1.50, Scribner, New York; 6s., Hodder, 7d. n., Macmillan.] 
 
 Madame de Treymes. 1907 
 
 Short and compact, a characteristic novelette, detailing the sentimental and the diplomatic 
 preliminaries to an alliance between a New Yorker and his countrywoman in Paris who 
 had married into the French noblesse. [$i, Scribner, New York ; 2S. 6d. n., Macmillan.] 
 
 The Fruit of the Tree. 1907 
 
 A pleasure-loving woman is married to a strong, conscientious man with his heart set on social 
 and economic reforms. Their estrangement is intensified by the advent of a woman 
 fitted in every way to be his mate. The resulting situations are examined with microscopic 
 analysis ; but the interest culminates in an agonizing problem of moral responsibiUty : 
 whether a nurse — who happens to be the rival — ^is justified in cutting short the sufferings 
 of the other woman, who has been terribly and hopelessly injured in an accident. [$1.50, 
 Scribner, New York ; 6s., Macmillan.]

AMERICAN FICTION 
 
 Wharton, Edith (continued). — The Hermit and the Wild Woman ; and other 
 
 Stories. 1908 
 
 The title-story is a piece of glowing imagination staged in Italy in the Middle Ages. The other 
 
 six are American stories, masterly as ironical portraiture of our sophisticated civilization, 
 
 and, without exception, depressing in motive. [$1.50, Scribner, New York; 6s., Macmillan.] 
 
 Tales of Men and Ghosts. . 1910 
 
 Ten ingenious, bizarre, improbable stories making capital out of strange psychological situa- 
 tions. The Bolted Door is about a man whose avowal of an actual murder is received as 
 the effect of hallucination. In His Father's Son, a humdrum man, with a secret thirst 
 for romance, carries on a compromising correspondence in his wife's name with a lover. 
 The Debt, The Legend, and Full Circle all deal with writers or thinkers and the accidents of 
 fame, discipleship, etc. The Eyes is a ghost-tale, and Afterward a better one. [$1.50, 
 Scribner, New York ; 6s., Macmillan.] 
 
 Ethan Frome. 1911 
 
 A study of the growth of love between two people separated by marriage, in a puritanical 
 community of farming people in Massachusetts. Our sympathies are sought for the 
 lovers, who are not sinners ; and eventually tragedy of a pecuharly horrible nature de- 
 mands even more, [Si n., Scribner, New York; 3s. 6d. n., Macmillan.] 
 
 White, Stewart Edward [b. 1873]. The Westerners. 1901 
 
 A story of the Western plains in the days of frontier wars with the Sioux. The character most 
 fully portrayed is a detestable half-breed, whose ruthless crimes well deserve the horrible 
 end that befalls him. [$1.50, McClure, New York ; 6s., Constable.] 
 
 The Claim Jumpers. 1901 
 
 Love-story of a young New Yorker and an unconventional girl in a Western mining district.

 — The Pass. 1906 
 
 — Arizona Nights. 1907 
 
 — The Riverman. 1908 
 Present, with a most compelhng magic, the real feeling of life in the vast sohtudes of Michigan, 
 
 north-west Canada, or the deserts and sierras of Arizona, the strain of the silence and 
 loneliness, the desperate struggle with nature, and the characters that are tested and 
 forged by the ordeals of such experiences. The story element in Mr. White's books sinks 
 to insignificance beside the intense picturing of nature and the hfe of man. As a passionate 
 observer he is at least the equal of Mr. C. G. D. Roberts or Mr. Thompson Seton, and his 
 technical knowledge of lumbering, trapping, Indian life, etc., is apparently unerring,

PRESENT DAY 
 
 Whitlock,. Brand [b. 1869]. The Turn of the Balance. 1907 
 
 A determined exposure of the legal and other deUnquencies of the American social system. 
 Mr. Whitlock is mayor of Toledo in Ohio. Unjust treatment of criminals and victims of 
 legal injustice — ^both alike presented with much of the angel in their composition — the 
 debasing effects of mammon- worship and hypocritical laws ; all illustrated with abundance 
 of sensations. The dialogue is heavily sown with cant terms, for some of which a glossary 
 is provided. [?i.50, Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapohs ; 6s., Rivers.] 
 
 "WiGGiN, Kate Douglas" [Mrs. George Christopher Riggs ; nee Smith, b. 1857]. 
 
 The Birds' Christmas Carol. [juvenile] 1888 
 
 A touching little tale breathing the tenderest spirit of love and human kindness. Similar in

 Boston; is. 6d., Gay & Hancock.]

 Describes the holiday of a party of bright young people of both sexes camping out in Southern

 in a simple and humorous manner. [$1.25, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d., Gay & Hancock.] 
 
 Timothy's Quest. [juvenile] 1890 
 
 A pretty and touching little story (written for the young, but interesting to older people) about 
 two children's venture into the great world ; the boy a figure of precocious manliness ; 
 all the characters drawn with kindliness and humour, and the rights of the children 
 insisted upon at every opportunity. [$i, Houghton, Boston; illustrated by O. Herford, 
 fi.50; IS. n.. Gay & Hancock.] 
 
 A Cathedral Courtship ; and Penelope's English Experiences. 1893 
 
 The former is an excellent example of this lady's tourist fiction ; the characters, three Ameri- 
 cans doing the English cathedrals — a bewitching girl and an old lady, and an eUgible 
 painter who scrapes acquaintance with them. The talk and incidents that ensue abound in 
 humour. Penelope's English Experiences includes the adventures and impressions of three 
 American ladies on a visit to England.; scenes in London and the village of Belvern, 
 fanciful sketches of a West- End ball, portraits of domestic originals, all characterized by 
 happy strokes of humour and droll exaggeration of Enghsh traits, [(i) $1.50, (2) $2. In

 A study of the hfe of a girl on the verge of womanhood, and the problem how she shall find

 Boston ; 3s. 6d., Gay & Hancock.] 
 
 Marm Lisa. 1896 
 
 [$i, Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d., Gay & Hancock.] 
 
 Penelope's Experiences in Scotland. 1898 
 
 The three go on to Scotland, and meet with still funnier experiences in Edinburgh and Fife- 
 shire. Places, people, and society are depicted in a droll and buoyant style, and old-world 
 manners and characters of an original kind are sketched with amiable satire. [$2, Hough- 
 ton, Boston ; 2s. n., Gay & Hancock.] 
 
 Penelope's Irish Experiences. , 1901 
 
 The trio of fair Americans visit Ireland, and criticize the country and people in the genial, 
 Ught-hearted style already famiHar. Comic incidents, good stories, legends, and racy

 New Chronicles of Rebecca. 1907 
 
 Light-hearted, tender, and humorous stories of home life in New England, racy of the soil, 
 excellent in portraiture of girls and women-folk. Mrs. Wiggin may be described as an 
 American Mrs. Ewing. [(i) $1.25, $1.50 n., Houghton, Boston ; 3s. 6d., Hodder ; is. n..

 [Si. 25 n., Houghton, Boston; 6s., Hodder.] 
 
 WiLKiNS, Mary Eleanor [Mrs. C. M. Freeman ; 1862]. A Humble Romance. 1887 
 Twenty-eight terse, realistic stories and sketches of homely, penurious life in a Massachusetts 
 village. All deal with various phases of unhappiness, a monotony which answers to a cer- 
 tain monotony in the characters, who are nearly all abnormal.' [$1.25, Harper, New 
 York ; 2s.. 6d., Ward & Lock.] 
 
 A New England Nun ; and other Stories. 1891 
 
 Twenty-four humorous or pathetic stories of the same rather sombre people, showing the 
 
 same compressed reahsm, like that of a Dutch genre painting. [S1.25 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 Jane Field. 1893 
 
 The spiritual tragedy of a nobly natured woman, a rigid Puritan, who is tempted by maternal 
 love and the unlawful impulse to right mundane injustice, and sins stubbornly and per- 
 severingly. A sort of tragic humour lights up the spectacle of her austere integrity 
 brought by her own act to a position of falsehood, which she expiates' by shame 
 and penitence. [$1.25 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 Pembroke. 1894 
 
 Her fullest picture of the hfe of a New England village, summing up her observation of these 
 people of perverted wills — on the whole an unlovely picture, reUeyed against an environ- 
 ment of beautiful landscapes, orchards and old-world homesteads, and hghtened by 
 strokes of pathos and humour and a keen sense of the joy of hfe. Quarrels persisted in 
 to the bitter end, hfe feuds between neighbours and kindred, stubborn and selfish- pride 
 blighting the love of youth and maid and entailing tragic consequences — such are the pre- 
 vaihng motives, and most of the characters are extreme developments of this one attribute 
 of the Puritan nature. [$1.50 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 — Madelon. 1896 
 A tragedy in the same rural setting, romantic love playing an unwonted part. Here again are 
 
 a series of characters all more or less under the dominion of a fixed idea — the hero, Lot 
 Gordon, Madelon, Burr's mother, and other folk. [$1.25 (2s. 6d.), Harper.] 
 
 — Jerome,", a Poor Man. 1897 
 The poor young man makes a kind of wager that, if he become rich, he will give up all his 
 
 wealth to the poor ; both which events come to pass. A study of lowly, straitened life, 
 and a sentimental indictment of the selfish indulgence of the rich. Jerome is another 
 example of the wrong-headed, stiff-necked New Englander, sacrificing everything to his 
 wilful pride. [I1.50 (6s.), Harper.]

PRESENT DAY 
 
 WiLKiNS, Mary Eleanor (continued). — Silence ; and other Stories. 1898 
 
 Silence is a village girl who goes mad with sorrow for her lover, carried awa)' by the red men. 
 The Little Maid at the Door is a tale of the same old days, describing Puritan superstitions 
 and the sufferings they entailed on innocent people. Evelina's Garden is a fanciful story 
 in Hawthorne's manner, more than half apologue, glorifying pure affection as the most 
 precious thing in human life. The Buckley Lady, real hfe blent with fairyland, is a love- 
 tale in the author's more natural style. [$1.25 (6s.), Harper,] 
 
 The Jamesons. 1899 
 
 A novelette, recounting the ludicrous crusade of a New York lady of advanced views against 
 the old-fashioned habits and prejudices of a village. [50c., Doubleday, New York; 
 2S. 6d. n.. Dent.] 
 
 The Love of Parson Lord ; and other Stories. igoo 
 
 Old Parson Lord dedicated his only daughter to missionary work, but his fondness reconciles 
 him to her childish frivohties, and even allows her to marry, though without his open 
 consent. In The Tree of Knowledge a would-be burglar is summarily converted by a pretty, 
 innocent maiden. One Good Time is the characteristic story of a penurious country woman 
 who spends £300 in a week of enjoyment, then settles down resignedly to sober married 
 life. A story of revolutionary times follows and then a humorous sketch of three elderly 
 sisters and an old beau. [$1.25 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 The Heart's Highway. 1900 
 
 An historical romance, dealing with Virginia under Charles II and the tobacco riots after 
 Nathaniel Bacon's rebellion (1682). [$1.50, Doubleday, New York; 2s. 6d. n., Murray.] 
 
 Understudies. 1901 
 
 Hardly a characteristic book. Two series of fanciful stories, one about people and their pets, 
 interpreting traits of human nature by their affinities with certain animals ; the other 
 series, more poetical, about certain flowers that are shown to be symbolical types of human 
 character. [$1.25 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 The Portion of Labour. 1901 
 
 A problem-novel dealing with capital and labour in New England. A number of characters 
 are portrayed, chiefly descendants of the old colonial stock, and counterparts in their 
 salient qualities to the types with which the authoress has familiarized us. [$1.25 (6s.), 
 Harper.] 
 
 The Givers. 1904 
 
 A collection of stories : Eglantina, The Reign of the Doll, and Lucy are perhaps the best. [$1.50 
 (6s.), Harper.] 
 
 By the Light of the Soul. 1907 
 
 This solemn title covers a delicate, if characteristically monotonous, story of a brave young 
 girl and her loyalty to her mother's memory and her own conscience. [ $ i .50 (6s.) , Harper.] 
 
 The Shoulders of Atlas. 1908 
 
 Breaks away from the narrow limitations of the humble romance, and introduces plot, mystery, 
 and other excitements. [$1.50 (6s.), Harper.]

 The Virginian, a Horseman of the Plains. 1902 
 
 A romance of Wyoming — the " Cattle Ground " — in the 'seventies and 'eighties. A young

 sweetheart of a pretty " school-marm " from Vermont. [$1.50 (5s. n.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Lady Baltimore. 1906 
 
 A sophisticated beauty from fashionable New York and a sensitive girl from the best society 
 of the South contend for an honourable and chivalrous young Southerner. Tries to catch 
 the Cranford touch in portraying the old ladies of a decayed seaport in Carolina, main- 
 taining the palladium of their racial exclusiveness against the vulgarity of the " yellow 
 rich." The narrator, hke one of Henry James's interested observers, lets us into the 
 meaning bit by bit, so that we understand only at the end. Fiercely satirical of pluto- 
 cratic manners. [Si. 50 (6s.), Macmillan.] 
 
 Members of the Family. 1911 
 
 A realistic fragment rough-hewn from the strong, rich hfe of the West, in the days of the first 
 settlers, and onward through the changes due to the ingress of civiUzation to the domestic 
 peace and comfort of to-day. Farmers, Indians, horse-stealers, poUticians, respectable 
 people and the reverse, forcibly drawn, sometimes — e.g. In the Back — with sdmething like 
 the Kiphng touch. [Si. 50 X6s.), Macmillan.]

 observances and curious sentiments, their rehgion, hopes, and hideous sufferings at the 
 hands of the anti-Semites are set down by one who knows them intimately. [$i (6s.),

 A close student's translation from two of the oldest and rudest MSS., the Leahhar na h-Uidhri 
 (Book of the Dun Cow) and the Yellow Book of Lecan (late seventh or early eighth century) 
 of a central episode of the CuchuIUn cycle. Like Miss Hull's CuchuUin Saga rather than 
 Lady Gregory's more popular recension. No notes. [4s. n. (Grimm Librarjr), Nutt; Si. 25

 Gregory, Augusta, Lady [nee Persse] [tr.]. Cuchulain of Muirthemne: the Story 
 of the Men of the Red Branch of Ulster ; arranged and put into English by 
 Lady Gregory. 1902 
 
 Not a tale nor a series of tales, but the redaction of a whole primitive hterature, the legends of 
 Cuchulain, " the Irish Achilles," or " the Irish Herakles," as he is variously described. 
 The extant MS. hterature amounts to some 2000 octavo pages, the MSS. being principally 
 pre-twelfth century ; the tales assumed their present form between the seventh and the 
 ninth centuries. Not a Gaehc scholar herself. Lady Gregory has translated them from 
 various sources, Enghsh and foreign, collating different authorities. But Uke Malory, 
 she has not aimed at literal accuracy, but has selected and suppressed what she thought 
 desirable, and, where necessary, introduced hnks to strengthen the whole. For this reason, 
 Irish scholars compare this unfavourably with the more hteral collection made by Miss 
 Hull, criticizing Lady Gregory for creating an artificial unity, and for leavening these 
 primitive sagas with the modern ideas of Connaught and Munster. The stories that 
 form landmarks are the Birth of Cuchulain, Bricriu's Feast, The Fate of the Children of 
 Usnach, The War for the Bull of Cuailgne, The Battle of Rosnaree, The Only Son of Aoife, 
 The Great Gathering at Muirthemne, and The Death of Cuchulain. The war for the bull 
 (Tain bd Cuailgne) is the central saga. The MS. is of the eleventh century, but the tale 
 assumed the present shape probably early in the seventh century, and is an embodiment 
 of far more ancient myths. The language of this translation is somewhat too artificially 
 archaic; Mr. Yeats calls it, "the beautiful speech of those who think in Irish." Though 
 written in prose, the book is poetry in essence and style — ^romance saturated with myth- 
 ology, and breaking momently into lyricism (the irregular metres are rendered into prose) . 
 Characters of epic grandeur, the exterminating feuds of savage tribes, battles and single 
 combats, feats of strength and endurance, gorgeous scenes of feast and ceremony, wonder- 
 ful enchantments, with wild love passions and splendid lyrical laments, are interpreted 
 with feeling and power, and knit together in a fairly unbroken narrative. A meritorious 
 endeavour to popularize the primitive legends of Celtic Ireland. [With preface by W. B. 
 Yeats, 6s. n., Murray ; §2 n., Scribner, New York ; Cuchulain the Hound of Ulster, by 
 Eleanor Hull, is a recension of the legends for children; 5s. n., Harrap, igog.] 
 
 Gods and Fighting Men : the Story of the Tuatha de Danaan and of the 
 
 Fianna of Ireland. 1906 
 
 Cuchulain of Muirthemne is a popular redaction of the heroic legends, this of the divine and the 
 Fenian legends of Ireland, in other words of the Ossianic hterature, current orally or in 
 MSS. in both Ireland and Scotland. Mr. Nutt considered that whilst the Cuchulain cycle 
 belonged to the aristocratic class and died out in Scotland, the survival of the legends of 
 Finn and the Fianna in that country proves them to be " non- Aryan folk-hterature 
 partially subjected to Aryan treatment." These stories are independent of the Cuchulain 
 cycle, and in like manner have been furnished with legendary connections linking them 
 with the Christian age. But they are myth, not history. Even the period of their com- 
 position is uncertain; the oldest MSS. belong to the eleventh and twelfth centuries, but 
 their stories are 100 to 250 years more ancient; a larger number are in fourteenth-century 
 MSS., and were redacted in the thirteenth or fourteenth centuries. The bulk consists of 
 narrative poems, the Scottish written in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries, the 
 Irish in the sixteenth to nineteenth. Lady Gregory has followed the same method of 
 borrowing from the best authorities, though she has not scrupled to modify the text, and 
 has adopted the same colloquial peasant prose as in her former recension. From the follow- 
 ing hst of sixteen books it will be noticed that many of the sagas cited in this Guide appear 
 under other translators. Part I, The Gods : — -The Coming of the Tuatha de Danaan; Lugh 
 of the Long Hand ; The Coming of the Gael ; The Ever-Living Living Ones ; The Fate of the 
 Children of Lir . Part II, The Fianna: — Finn, Son of Cumhal ; Finn's Helpers ; The Battle 
 of the White Strand ; Huntings and Enchantments ; Oisin's Children ; Dearmuid ; Dear- 
 muid and Grania ; Cnoc-an-air ; The Wearing A way of the Fianna ; The End of the 
 Fianna ; Oisin and Patrick. For those who will not read all of them, the following stand 
 out as pre-eminent examples of the hterature : the epic Battle of the White Strand fought

 by the Fianna to keep the foreigners out of Ireland ; the flight of Dearmuid and Grania,

 An ingathering of legends, and even translated talks with peasants, from modern Irish, ballads

 years ago), two little folk-plays from the Irish of Dr. Douglas Hyde — The Twisting of the 
 Rope and The Marriage, and miscellaneous sketches giving Lady Gregory's personal im- 
 pressions of Irish people of to-day. A Book of Saints and Wonders is a similar gleaning 
 from modem sources. [6s. n., Murray ; $1.50 n., Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Guest, Lady Charlotte Elizabeth \nee Schreiber; 1812-95] [tr.]. The Mabinogion : 
 from the Welsh of the Llyfr Coch o Hergest (the Red Book of Hergest). 1849 
 The nucleus of this book and the portion that gave it the title is the series of primitive mytho- 
 logical tales known as The Four Branches of the Mabinogi, which are connected together 
 by the person of Pryderi. They have been equated (see a primer entitled The Mabinogion, 
 by Ivor B. John, 6d., David Nutt) to Snorri's compilation of Icelandic mythology in the 
 Prose Edda, and were perhaps intended for the instruction of bardic students. Pwyll, 
 Prince of Dyfed recounts the marriage of Pwyll and Rhiannon, and leads up to the birth 
 of Pryderi. Branwen, Daughter of Llyr is the story of an unfortunate marriage between a 
 Welsh princess and an Irish king, and of the exterminating war that arose thereupon, 
 with the exploits of the gigantic Bran. Manawyddan, Son of Llyr, tells how Pryderi is 
 carried off by enchantment, and a whole country laid desolate by a spell. Math, Son of 
 Mathonwy, whose kernel is a legend about the introduction of swine into Wales, is Ukewise 
 full of marvellous incident, and contains the two greatest of Welsh enchanters, Math and 
 Gwydion. These legends probably got their present form about the tenth or eleventh 
 century, but are much older in origin. Closely affiUated to them in manner and inspiration 
 are five other British stories. Kilhwch and Olwen ; or. The Twrch Trwyth tells how King 
 Arthur and his hosts chased a monstrous boar, and performed other feats required by the 
 father of Olwen before she was given in marriage to Kilhwch : a "wild and whirUng " story 
 overburdened with allusions to other British legends. The Dream of Rhonabwy also brings 
 in Arthur, but in a dream, in which the Ravens of Owain appear destroying the sons of 
 the nobles of Britain. The Dream of Maxen Wledig relates to the Roman Emperor Maximus ; 
 Lludd and Llevelyn to the famous King Lud, brother of Cassivelaunus. Taliesin, in 
 prose and verse, narrates the wonderful birth and sayings of the greatest Welsh bard. 
 The other three stories are less distinctively Welsh, and nearer akin to the continental 
 romances of Arthur. The Lady of the Fountain corresponds to Chretien de Troyes' Yvain, 
 and an English adaptation thereof, Yvain and Gawin in Ritson's Metrical Romances, 
 vol. I (Gwalchmai is better known as Gawain) . The hero is Owain, a knight beloved by 
 Arthur, who slays the warder of a magic fountain, and becomes the consort and protector 
 of a widowed countess. Peredur, the Son of Evrawc, is the most archaic of the Graal 
 legends, of which Perceval or Peredur was the original hero. (See list of versions sub tit. 
 High History of the Holy Graal, and Mr. Alfred Nutt's primer, The Legends of the Holy 
 Grail, 6d., Nutt). Geraint, the Son of Erbin, is the well-known story retold in Tennyson's 
 Enid, and corresponds to Chretien's Erec et Enide. Lady Charlotte Guest edited the 
 Mabinogion with this beautiful translation in 1849 (3 vols., ;£3, Llandovery : o.p.), and pub- 
 Ushed the translation and notes without the text in 1877 (Quaritch : o.p.). Her book was 
 taken from a fourteenth-century MS., all except Taliesin, of which the oldest extant MS. 
 belongs to the seventeenth century. Should be read in close connection with the sagas 
 of Celtic Ireland, as well as with the Arthurian romances. [With note on the hterary 
 history of the tales, by Alfred Nutt, 2s. 6d. n. ; also in Everyman's Library, is. n..

 Henderson, George [ed.]. The Feast of Bricriu (Fled' Brier end) : an Early Gaelic 
 Saga. 1899 
 
 An early Gaelic saga, transcribed from older MSS. into the Book of the Dun Cow, and probably 
 an amalgam of two at least, and more likely four, separate and very different versions. 
 Not a primitive saga, but romanticized. Belongs to the CuchuUin cycle, the same tale 
 being an episode in Lady Gregory's Cuchulain of Muirihen.ne. That hero contends in a 
 series of competitive feats with Conall and Loigaire, for the championship of Ulster and 
 the privileges appertaining thereto ; the origin of the contest being the desire of Bricriu, 
 giver of the feast, to raise up strife and enmity among his powerful guests. " Bricriu of the 
 Evil Tongue," says the editor, " is the counterpart of Conan of the Ossianic cycle, of Sir 
 Kaye of the Arthurian romances ' ' ; his love of taunts and satire leads eventually to his death 
 by violence. [Edited with introduction and notes (Irish Texts Soc), 6s. n., Nutt: o.p.]

 Compare this with Lady Gregory's Cuchulain of Muirthemne, a more literary recension, that 
 takes considerable liberties ^vith the text and arrangement of the stories. This is intended 
 for students, and contains a long introduction on the hterary qualities and historical 
 aspects of the saga, and on the mythology. It makes no attempt to harmonize different 
 versions ; omissions are carefully indicated ; and whilst it leaves out much that Lady 
 Gregory incorporates, it includes several other stories relating to Cuchulain, viz. The 
 Birth of Conachar, How Conachar gained the Kingship over Ulster, The Siege of Howth, The 
 Tragical Death of Conachar, The Phantom Chariot of Cuchullin. [7s. 6d. n. (Grimm Library ) ,

 sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 1899 
 
 The first is an example of the popular tales that were handed down from age to age. The 
 traditional matter comes down from the Middle Ages, though perhaps never committed to 
 paper until a century or two ago. The Lad of the Ferule is a mysterious being who ap- 
 pears to Murough, son of Brian Boru, and carrying home for him the spoils of a miraculous 
 hunting, demands as guerdon a certain ferule that lies at the bottom of a lake. Ultimately, 
 Murough slays a serpent and deUvers the Land of the Ever Young, which hes below the 
 lake. Being made for linguistic purposes, the translation is not very readable in any of 
 these publications of the Iri.sh Texts Society. The Editor thinks the Adventures of the 
 Children of the King of Norway was a written story even so early as the fourteenth century. 
 It has always been a great favourite with Irish scribes, and was probably not handed down 
 as a foLk-tale for many generations before being committed to writing. It is a long story 
 of enchantment and miraculous adventures, " in which much of the stock-in-trade of 
 the Celtic story-teller is employed." The outset of the adventures is how the three princes 
 are put under geasa, or enchantment, by a lady, which obliges them to search for her through- 
 out the world, she meanwhile changing herself into a cat and then a swaij. [Edited and

 Joyce, P. W. [ed.]. Old Celtic Romances ; translated from the Gaelic. 
 
 (2nd and enlarged edition) 1894 
 
 A dozen carefully selected tales, chiefly from the ancient prose literature. The Fate of the Chil- 
 dren of Lir and The Fate of the Children of Turenn are from The Three Tragic Stories of 
 Erin. Lir's children were changed into four white swans by a step-mother's enchant- 
 ments. The sons of Turenn involve themselves in an Odyssey of woes for the murder of 
 a kinsman under the shape of a pig. The Voyage of Maildun is well known in Tennyson's 
 version, which, however, is not much like the original. It is the oldest of the mythical 
 voyages (cf. Brendan), written down in the ninth century, some of the incidents from 
 The Mneid. The wonders met with in this voyage on the ocean of romance exceed those 
 described by Homer — the Isle of Red-hot Animals, the Miller of Hell, a Lonely Country 
 beneath the Waves, an Island standing on one Pillar, etc. The next three. The Fairy Palace 
 of the Quicken Trees, a story of the enchantment of Finn and his dehverance by the hero 
 Dermat O'Dyna ; the humorous wonder-story of The Pursuit of the Gilla Backer ; and 
 the romantic story of Finn's tyranny and Dermat's chivalry in The Pursuit of Dermat and 
 Crania ; with some shorter pieces, belong to the great Fenian cycle, concerning Finn, 
 Oscar, Oisin, Dermat, etc. The stories are not given in their entirety, nor with the literal- 
 ness required by philologists ; but are suitable for popular reading. Notes and Ust of 
 proper names. [3s. 6d. (f 1.25), Longman.]

 A primitive tale (in prose intermixed with verse) combining two elements rather perplexingly 
 — satire of the Abbot and monks of Cork, and the vision of the Lake of Milk, which reveals 
 to the gleeman MacConglinne how King Cathal may be delivered from the demon of 
 gluttony that has been the bane of his land. Full of extravagance and comic fancy. Prob- 
 ably originated in a folk-tale about a marvellous land of plenty ; opens up a number of 
 difficult problems to the student of early literature and folk-lore. [Edited with transl. by

 Arras, Jean d'. Melusine [1382-91]. Englisht about 1500 
 
 A popular romance, founded on a legend of great antiquity, similar in idea to the famous 
 story of Cupid and Psyche. The supernatural being, Melusine, marries Raymondin on 
 condition that he never sees her on a Saturday, a condition that he breaks after Uving 
 with her many years and begetting ten sons. Much of the romance is taken up with the 
 heroic gestes of the sons, each of which has some preternatural feature. The end is 
 pathetic, Hke that of Arnold's Forsaken Merman. Melusine changes into a serpent, and, 
 with mutual lamentations, husband and wife are parted by their inevitable doom. [Part i., 
 the text, ed. A. K. Donald (Early English Text Soc), Paul, 1895, 20s. This prose romance 
 is much finer — and more poetical — than the metrical Romans of Partenay, translated from 
 a poem composed about fourteen years later on the same legend : the latter also is pub- 
 lished by the Early English Text Soc] 
 
 Arthur of Little Britain : the History of the Vahant Knight, Arthur of Little 
 Britain : a Romance of Chivalry, originally translated from the French by 
 John Bourchier, Lord Bemers. i6th century. 
 
 First MS. fifteenth century ; first French edn. 1493. Probably composed in the reign of Charles 
 VI. Said to have been a source of Spenser's Arthurian material, though not properly 
 Arthurian but of the same species of irresponsible fiction as the Amadis. Arthur is son 
 of the Duke of Brittany, and loves a maid of low degree, but his parents compel him to 
 marry a lady of noble birth. The low-born damsel gets hold of the bride's dowry and a 
 wondrous ring — whence engrossing comphcations. Wild adventures, fights with dragons 
 and giants, tourneys and battles with myriads of foes, recall Amadis of Gaul. There was 
 an EngHsh edn. printed by Copland, and another by Redborne (1609). [New edn. reprinted 
 from that of Robert Redborne (i6th century) with preface by E. V. Utterson, 1814.] 
 
 Aucassin et Nicolette. Edited and rendered into modem English by F. W. 
 Bourdillon. 1887 
 
 A quaint Uttle Provengal romance of the twelfth century, a prose-poem (cante-fable) of the 
 sovereignty of true love, the herO a gentle knight of France, and the heroine a maiden of 
 unknown birth, who proves to be daughter of the King of Carthage. Most striking per- 
 haps in its grafting of vivid actuality upon pure romance — nothing more realistic than 
 certain passages has come to us from mediEEval hterature. Composed in an alternation 
 of prose and verse intended for recitation by the trouvire or jongleur, [(a) Transl. by

 Blanchardyn and Eglantine. Caxton's Blanchardyii and Eglantine. c. 1489 
 
 Translated from a French prose version of a roman d'aveniure in some 4800 octasyllabic lines, 
 Blanchardin et OrgueiUose d' Amors (earliest version 13th century). Blanchandin or 
 Blanchardin, son of a king of Frise (Phrygia), falls in love with the Princess of Tormadai, 
 and, after the usual series of adventures, disasters and escapes, weds her in peace. Caxton's 
 pedestrian rendering is fairly close to the French prose, which expanded and altered the 
 poem considerably both in style and matter. [From Lord Spencer's copy, completed from 
 the original French and the second EngUsh version of 1595 ; ed. Dr. Leon Kellner (Early 
 English Text Soc), 17s. n., Kegan Paul (1890) 1906.] 
 
 Charles the Grete. The Lyf of the Noble and Crysten Prynce ; translated from 
 the French by William Caxton and printed by him. 1485 
 
 . Translated from the prose romance Fierabras, which was a compilation partly from Vincent 
 de Beauvais' Speculum Historiale and partly from the late twelfth century chanson de 
 geste, Fierabras. The English metrical romance Sir Ferumbras is from this chanson, which 
 
 521 
 
FRENCH FICTION 
 
 was probably the central portion of a longer poem known as Balan. The Sowdone of 
 Babyloyne is probably taken from the same lost poem. Caxton follows the original so 
 slavishly that at times, the editor points out, difficulties have to be explained by refer- 
 ence to the French. The book purports to be a life of Charlemagne, and begins with a 
 genealogical history of the early kings of France ; but it contains far more fable than fact. 
 After briefly relating how Charles was elected Emperor of Rome and delivered the Hoty 
 Land from the miscreants, it launches out into more marvellous incidents, for which the 
 wars with the Saracens suppUed material. Outstanding episodes are : Oliver's fight with 
 the giant Fierabras ; the capture of the Twelve Peers by Balan, the Saracen " Admiral," 
 and their succour by the hand of Balan's daughter Floripas, who afterwards marries Guy 
 of Burgoyne ; the forcing of the marvellous Bridge of Mantrible, and the death of Balan ; 
 Charlemagne's conquest of Spain, the duel of Roland and the giant Ferragus, the treason 
 of Ganelon, the French defeat and the death of Roland at Roncesvalles. The book covers 
 the same ground as that of the metrical romances Sir Ferumbras, The Sowdone of Babyloyne, 
 Roland and Vernagu, and the Song of Roland. [Edited, with introduction, notes, and glossary,

 Chatelaine of Vergi, The [1282-8]. 1903 
 
 Paraphrase of a mediaeval poem (1282-8), which showed a distinct approximation tothe 
 modern novel in treating real hfe. M. Raynaud conjectures that it was based on an 
 actual scandal at the Court of Burgundy (1267-72) ; but Prof. Brandin contests this. 
 The story is very tragic. A knight secretly loves the Chatelaine, and the jealous Duchess 
 of Burgundy wrings from him the secret ; the lady dies of a broken heart and the knight 
 kills himself. Bandello and Marguerite of Navarre both had versions of such a story.

 Foure Sonnes of Aymon, The Right Pleasaunt and Goodly Historic of the; 
 Englisht from the French by William Caxton, and printed by him about 1489 
 
 From a prose romance entitled Les Quatre Fih Aymon, or Renaitd de MontaiAian, one of the 
 most widely translated of the Charlemagne romances. This was a free rendering of an 
 ancient chanson de geste, of which the earhest extant text belongs to the twelfth century. 
 Local memories of the redoubtable Renaud (he was sixteen feet high), and of his horse 
 Bayard, are current still in the Ardennes. Aymon was one of Charlemagne's dukes. His 
 sons revolt from the emperor and set all the French chivalry at defiance, repelling the 
 greatest paladins from their strongholds, and defeating them in the field. Renaud ventures 
 to Paris and wins a horse-race on Bayard against Roland himself. Their cousin Maugis 
 carries off Charlemagne by enchantment. At last Renaud goes to the Holy Land, per- 
 forms miracles of valour against the Saracens, and returns to work as a common labourer 
 at Cologne, where he dies, and is reverenced as a martyr. Aymon is a fine example of 
 feudal loyalty ; Charlemagne appears as a cruel tyrant, openly flouted by the powerful 
 barons — a symptom of the decadence of monardiical power at the time of the com- 
 position of the ipoem. Roland, Oliver, Turpin, Ogier the Dane, and Naymes play their 
 part in this long romance (600 pages), which in Caxton's version was one of the English 
 ' ' popular novels " of Tudor days. [Edited, with introduction, by Octavia Richardson 
 (Early English Text Soc), 2 vols., 35s. n., Kegan Paul, 1884-5; Renaud de Montauban : 
 first done into English by William Caxton and now abridged and retranslated by Robert 
 Steele, G. Allen, 1897: o.p. This is a popular adaptation.] 
 
 High History of the Holy Graal, The ; translated from the French by Sebastian 
 Evans. 1898 
 
 From the first volume of Perceval li Gallois ou le conte du Graal (edited by Ch. Potvin, 1866), 
 which, Dr. Evans contends, is " the first and most authentic " version of the Graal legend. 
 He tries to prove by an ingenious argument that it was written about 1220. The general 
 opinion of scholars is, however, that this French prose romance is a very late version. 
 An early Welsh translation exists and has been pubhshed with an English translation by 
 the Rev. R. WiUiams in his Selections from the Hengwrt MSS. (2 vols., Richards, 1876-92). 
 The " most archaic form " of the story extant has been translated in Lady C. Guest's 
 Mabinogion under the title Peredur. This and the metrical Syr Percyvelle of Galles {Thorn- 
 ton Romances, 1 844) show strong traces of the original non-Christian elements of the legend. 
 A list of the other versions of the legend, with a brief history of its growth and transforma- 
 tions, will be found in Mr. Alfred Nutt's primer. The Legends of the Holy Grail (6d., David

BEFORE 1600 
 
 Nutt). Only Chretien de Troyes' Conte del Graal and Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, 
 the most important mediaeval forms from the Uterary point of view, chapters 13-18 of 
 Malory's Morte Darthur, Tennyson's Holy Grail, and Wagner's opera Parsifal need be 
 mentioned here. Perceval, " the best knight in the world," was the original hero of the 
 Graal quest, although his place was ultimately taken by Lancelot's son Galahad. In the 
 present singularly confused version, the adventures of Gawain and Lancelot take up 
 inordinate space. We have Gawain's wanderings in quest of the Graal, his winning of the 
 sword whereof John was beheaded, and his journey to the castle of King Fisherman ; 
 then Perceval's boyhood in the forest, his first acquaintance with chivalry and journey to 
 Arthur's Court, with a long story of his achievements repeating much of the Gawain story. 
 Perceval eventually rescues his mother who is oppressed by the Lord of the Moors, and 
 then sets sail on his last voyage. A wild and mystical tale of knight-errantry, full of 
 enchanted forests, marvellous castles, monsters, giants, and knights of superhuman 
 strength, tournaments, single combats, strange ordeals ; the whole interpenetrated With 
 a deeply religious spirit. Translated into a beautiful prose that adopts the graces and 
 quaintnesses of Tudor English without being slavishly archaic, [z vols. (Temple Classics),

 Hugh of Rutland. The Life of Ipomydon [14th century]. i6th century. 
 
 A prose romance adapted from an Enghsh rh3aning poem which was translated in the four- 
 teenth century from the Anglo-Norman Hugh of Rutland's French poem, written about 
 1185. [The MS. belongs to Marquis of Bute. The French i/i^^ow^tiow was ed. by Kolbing

 Hundred Merry Tales, A. 1526 
 
 The rude beginnings of prose fiction. A series of short, pithy, and often coarse anecdotes,

 Huon of Burdeux. The Boke of Duke Huon of Burdeux : done into Enghsh by 
 Sir John Bourchier, Lord Berners, and printed by Wynkyn de Worde about 1534 
 
 One of the three most popular Charlemagne romances. The original Huon of Bordeaux was a 
 chanson de geste, probably of the middle part of the thirteenth century, of which no less 
 than seven continuations are extant, four of them incorporated in this translation. To 
 the simple story of courtly broils and deeds of arms was added the more diversified 
 interests of Arthurian romance and the Oriental magic that had come into vogue. The 
 dwarf Oberon was of Teutonic origin, though placed here in Oriental surroundings. The 
 chanson was reduced to prose in 1454, and printed in 1513 at Paris ; Lord Berners trans- 
 lated it probably between 1525 and 1533. The first part corresponds to the original chanson, 
 and its main lines are as follows : Huon and Gerard, sons of one of Charlemagne's Peers, 
 are treacherously waylaid by the king's dissipated son Chariot, whom Huon, not knowing 
 him, slays. So far the story is true to mediaeval conditions. For the offence, Huon is sent 
 on an absurdly perilous quest to Babylon, where he is befriended by Oberon, King of the 
 Fairies, and by this aid performs many wonderful feats. Howbeit, for his sins, he falls into 
 grievous trouble on the way home, but at the end is miraculously dehvered. The second 
 part embraces (a) La Chanson d'Esclaramonde, wherein the Emperor Raoul besieges 
 Bordeaux and tries to seize Huon's duchess. Huon goes to the East for succour, has many 
 preposterous adventures, meeting with Cain and Judas Iscariot, and at length saves 
 Bordeaux ; (6) La Chanson de Clarisse et Florent, which relates the wooing of their daughter 
 Clariet along with many absurd extravagances ; (c) La Chanson d'Ide et Olive, an un- 
 pleasant story of Ide, daughter of Clariet and Florence, who disguises herself as a man, 
 and is actually wedded to the daughter of the Emperor of Rome ; (d) La Roman de Croissant, 
 the great-grandson of Huon. As in the Four Sons of Aymon, Charlemagne is portrayed as 
 a vengeful tyrant, the increasing power of the nobles being reflected in the more dignified 
 role accorded to the Peers. [Berners' translation, edited by 8. L. Lee (Sir Sidney Lee)

 a Wedded State ; Done out of French. The Fourth Edition, with the addition 
 of three Comforts. 4th edn., 1694 
 
 A translation of Les Quinze Joies de Mariage {1462) accredited to La Sale on the strength of 
 an acrostic in one MS. ; another rendering or adaptation is the famous Batchelor's Banquet 
 of Thomas Dekker (p. 3). The Quinze Joies is an astonishing example of malicious realism 
 and cynical moralizing ages before Balzac and Anatole France, but not so many ages 
 after the fabliaux. La Sale is also credited with the authorship of the famous farce, Pathelin, 
 and the compilation and part-authorship of the Cent Nouvelles nouvelles, a work imitated 
 from the Decameron and inspired to some extent by the Facetiae of Poggio. [This trans- 
 lation is a very rare chap-book which differs in many details from The Fifteen Comforts of

 The History and Pleasant Chronicle of Little Jehan de Saintre, and of the 
 
 Lady of the Fair Cousins [1459], together with the Book of the Knight of the 
 Tower Landry. An English translation by Alexander Vance. 1862 
 
 L'Histoire et Plaisante Cronique du Petit Jehan de Saintre et de la jeune Dame des Belles Cousines 
 sans autre nom nommer. Little Jehan is a page of honour, whose bringing up and ad- 
 ventures at Court are an amusing and naively realistic account of the manners, morals, 
 and ceremonial of the ages of chivalry, especially as regards the intercourse of the sexes. 
 La Dame des Belles Cousines instructs the unsophisticated youth in the arts of love, 
 and the sequel, where she succumbs to a low intrigue related in fabUau style, is supposed 
 to be a fling at the theory of l' amour courtois. La Tour-Landry is so much abbreviated here 
 as to be of little value. [los. 6d., Chapman & Hall : o.p.]

 1483, and printed by him 1484. The present is a much older' translation, however, which 
 existed only in MS. until now ; it is not so bald and literal as Caxton's, and renders the 
 spirit of the original more faithfully. A multifarious collection of didactic stories, pious 
 examples, parables, miracle-tales, and the Uke ; from Holy Scripture, classical sources, and 
 the legends of chivalry. They inculcate the virtues of piety, chastity, modesty of dress 
 and demeanour, spiritual and worldly wisdom. La Tour-Landry is a castle in Anjou ; its 
 ruins are still visible. [Translated from the original French in the reign of Henry VI,

 La Tour-Landry (?). Ponthus, King of Galicia, and Sidoine, daughter of the 
 King of Brittany. c. 1445 
 
 An adaptation of the old Saxon saga of Horn, the castaway son of the King of Suddene, and 
 Eimenhild, daughter of the King of Westernesse, which was made into a chanson de geste 
 in the seventeenth century (probably through an earlier French version represented by the 
 English Geste of King Horn, c. 1250). The author of the prose romance may have been 
 the author of the Book of the Knight of the Tower or his son Ponthus (or a clerk employed 
 for the purpose), the object being, by altering names and scenes, to glorify the family of 
 La Tour-Landry, who held lands in Brittany. It was soon turned into English, a^xA 
 was one of our earhest prose romances. [Never printed, but English metrical poems 
 on the subject were printed by Wynkyn de Worde, in 1511 and 1548.]

 account of the pseudo-Homeric transactions. These classical romances contained many 
 picturesque scenes, chivalric and fantastic adventures, and were, unintentionally, a faith- 
 ful mirror of the times when they were composed. Both Benoit's and Guido's attained 
 immense popularity, were often redacted, and translated into several languages. Caxton's 
 rendering also went into numerous editions. Printed at Bruges — the first book printed in 
 English. [Faithfully reprinted from the unique perfect copy of the original, and edited,

 Marguerite d'Angouleme [Queen of Navarre ; 1492-1549]. The Heptameron. 
 
 • 1558 
 A series of stories and novelettes in imitation of Boccaccio's Decameron. A party of ladies 
 and gentlemen are imprisoned by floods in the Pyrenean village of Cauterets, and pass 
 the time by telling tales. Many of these are drawn from the fabliaux, the licentious Cent 
 Nouvelles nouvelles, and the Itahan novellieri, and all are more or less erotic, scandalous, 
 and salacious. Amorous stratagems and intrigues, incidents at Court, histories in which 
 the monks cut a discreditable figure, are the chief material. Though the comedy is so 
 easy-going and licentious, the writer claims that her aim is serious, and even conducive to 
 sound moraHty. [The Heptameron has been translated for the " Society of English Biblio- 
 philists " from the authentic text of Le Roux de Lincy, including the notes, etc. (5 vols.,

 Morris, William [tr.]. Old French Romances done into English. 1896 
 
 The Tale of King Constans the Emperor, The Friendship of A mis and A mile. The Tale of King 
 Florus and the Fair Jehane, The History of Over Sea. A translation of four romances be- 
 longing to the thirteenth century, almost contemporary with Aucassin and Nicolette, 
 which, whatever their origin, are a faithful expression of the thought and feeling of mediaeval 
 France. The first is mythical history, the miraculous career of Constantius Chlorus, father 
 of Constantine the Great, and the straiige fulfilment of prophecies made before his birth ; 
 scene, Byzantium. The next is a legend of true friendship between two heroes of the 
 Carlovingian Wars, the Damon and Pythias of mediaeval romance ; their devotion cul- 
 minates in Amile's sacrifice of his children to save his friend. The story of Jehane, a very 
 pretty, improbable romance of a wife disguised and serving as her husband's esquire un- 
 beknown to him, contains the root incident of Cymbeline — the wager about a wife's virtue. 
 The most powerful of the four is the last, the tragic story of the Countess of Ponthieu, 
 which was dramatized in the eighteenth century. Morris's archaic and sensuous prose is 
 an admirable medium for the reproduction of these romances. [4s. 6d. n., G. Allen ; $1.80,

 Paris and Vienne : Hystorye of the noble ryght valyaunt and worthy knyght Parys, 
 and of the fayr Vyenne the Daulphyns doughter of Vyennoys. 1484 
 
 A tale of knight-errantry, Catalonian in origin, translated into Proven9al about 1430, and 
 into French in 1459 by Pierre de la Sippade. Probably translated into English from the 
 French version. One of the least affected and least incredible of the mediaeval stories. 
 Paris is of much lower degree than his lady-love, and when at length he ventures to ask 
 her hand he is repulsed with threats and ignominy. They are married secretly ; then 
 Paris goes to the East and lives at Babylon disguised as a " Moure," winning the favour of 
 the Soldan, whereby he is enabled to rescue Vienne's father from captivity in Alexandria, 
 and to win his bride. [Edited by W. C. Hazlitt, from the copy printed by Caxton ; with

 Readings in Rabelais, by Walter Besant. 1884 
 
 A wonderful combination of aimless buffoonery with satire grounded in an acute philosophy. 
 The author proposed to write a burlesque of the current romances of chivalry : as he 
 saw the possibihties of his theme, he brought his work nearer to human realities. Hence, 
 while the characters are monstrous and grotesque caricatures, and the incidents extrava- 
 gant, the book has a definite relation to life, and abounds in penetrating criticism, serious 
 allegory, and profound humour. First the giant Gargantua comes on the scene : his 
 exploits are full of absurdities and of satire on monks, priestcraft, the bigotry and pedantry

 of the age. Next Pantagruel, the real protagonist, is introduced ; his education, marvel- 
 lous feats, adventures and experiences in real and fictitious places being related at great 
 length. Then Panurge, the man of intellect without conscience, becomes for a time the 
 centre of interest. Urquhart and those following him give a fair reproduction of Rabelais' 
 extraordinary style, a style of which the motley colouring has, by Lanson, been compared 
 to Rubens. Wit, buffoonery, puns and word-jingles, daring combinations of learned, 
 popular, and obscene dialects, grotesque coinages, oratorical rotundities — this style is the 
 " orchestration of ideas." [Transl. by Sir Thomas Urquhart (Tudor Translns.), 3 vols.,

 A fifteenth-century romance ; MS. transcribed in 1463, in Flanders, by David Aubert, who 
 may have been the author ; Enghsht about 1500. Romance of a hackneyed kind. Alfour, 
 King of Sicily, nearly overwhelmed by the Turks, is succoured by three princes from 
 England, France, and Scotland, who meet with the usual adventures and misfortunes, 
 but at length drive out the invaders. Alfour is elected Emperor of Germany. The three

 tournament. The marriage festivities conclude the piece. [Ed. from the unique MS.

 Valentyne and Orson. The Hystorie of the Two Valyaunte Brethren, Valentyne 
 and Orson, Sonnes unto the Emperor of Greece. c. 1560 
 
 A composition of the fifteenth century, closely connected in matter with the later Carlovingian 
 romances ; first printed at Lyons, 1489. The emperor drove out his wife, who was falsely 
 accused (a version of the popular Griseldis legend), and she gave birth to twin sons in a 
 forest ; Orson was suckled by a bear, and Valentine was brought up by his uncle Pepin, 
 father of Charlemagne. Their true relationship is revealed by a Brazen Head. They 
 fight the Green Knight and the giant Ferragus, King of Portugal. The latter part of the 
 book recounts their wars with the Saracens in the East, the capture of the Twelve Peers 
 of France (an anachronism), with Pepin and the emperor, and their safe deliverance. 
 Marvels of a hackneyed kind, the feats of Pacolet and Adriman, rival enchanters, and 
 combats with giants, dragons, etc., furnish the usual fare. [An English translation was

 A translation of two posthumous romances, L'Histoire comique des Mats de la lune {c. 1656), 
 and L'Histoire comique des itats du soleil (1662) . These were humorous satires of the pedan- 
 tic science of the day, especially of fantastic theories about the moon. Bishop Godwin's

 In Ariana {1632), one of the briefest of the long-winded romances {romans d, tongue haleine), 
 Desmaretz made a more definite attempt than the Sieur de Gombreville at historical 
 romance, dating the action in Nero's reign, and locaUzing the scenes in Rome, Syracuse, 
 and Thessaly. The burning of Rome and the death of Nero are important incidents. He 
 inaugurated the taste for romanticized historiography developed to such absurd lengths 
 by La Calprendde and Scud^ry. [In 2 parts. As it was translated out of the French ;

 Fenelon, Fran9ois de Salignac de la Mothe [1651-1715]. The Adventures of

 An operatic blend of Homeric epic and ItaUan pastoral, written in a consciously poetic prose ; 
 based on those books of the Odyssey which relate the adventures of the son of Ulysses 
 in his quest for his father. The ancient world is depicted as a golden age. Composed as a 
 lesson in virtue, piety, and poUtical wisdom for F^nelon's pupil, the young Duke of Burgundy, 
 but taken as a satire on the Court of Louis XIV. The sensuousness and the doubtful morality 
 of the Archbishop's paganism were severely chastized in P. V. Faydit's Tilicomanie {1700).

 Gombreville, Marin Le Roy, Sieur du Pare et de [1599 or 1600-74]. The History 
 of Polexander [1632]. 1647 
 
 Gombreville's second novel ; his first. La Carithie, followed d'Urf6's pastoral model. The 
 famous Polexandre (1632) started a new fashion — the novel of gallantry. It grafts 
 the heroical strain of the Amadis upon the parent stock, and makes a great show of intro- 
 ducing local colour. The chief scene, the Unknown or Inaccessible Island, the abode of 
 Alcidiane, is somewhere near the Canaries. The suite of adventures, desperate combats, 
 tournaments, naval encounters, by which Polexandre, King of the Fortunate Isles, ulti- 
 mately attains the hand of this fair lady, is bewildering. It brings in Turks and Spaniards, 
 Incas and Moors, sultans and kings of known and unknown realms, and traverses a large 
 area of the globe. The characters, in interminable harangues, deUver ponderous lectures 
 on ancient and modern history, geography, moral philosophy, and most other branches of 
 learning. [Done into EngUsh by W. Browne; fo., Lond., 1647: o.p.] 
 
 La Calprenede, Gautier de Coste, Seigneur de [1609 or 1610-63]. Cassandra:

 Develops the romance of gallantry much further than Gombreville and Desmaretz on pseudo- 
 historical lines ; the scene is Babylon and neighbouring lands, in the times of Darius and 
 Alexander. La CalprenSde's prolixity is enormous, the original running into ten volumes ; 
 a wealth of episodes are skilfully introduced so as not to disturb the main action. Cas- 
 sandra is the assumed name of Statira, the daughter of Darius, whom Alexander married 
 and who is supposed to be murdered by the rival queen Roxane. An enormous complica- 
 tion of plots, ambushes and escapes, battles, sieges, knightly combats, and other adven- 
 tures, is brought to a happy conclusion by the marriage of several pairs of royal lovers 
 and the restoration of the bridegrooms to their kingdoms. J. Banks in The Rival Kings 
 and Nat Lee in The Rival Queens adopted the story of Cassandre. [The famed Romance

 vols, are by Vaumoriere. The usual miscellaneous adventures are related with clearness 
 and skill, unburdened by the sentimental disquisitions which were such a feature of 
 d'Urfe and Gombreville's romances and still more of Mile, de Scudery's. La Calpre-

 In plot, akin to the old style of romance. Two Spanish grandees retire from the Court, and 
 meditate on the wrongs they have suffered from others and those which were due to their 
 own conduct. A Moorish princess is cast ashore in their neighbourhood, and one of these 
 nobles falls passionately in love ; the truthful painting of sentiment and emotion shows 
 the same psychological power as her other novel. ["By Monsieur Segray" (i.e. Jean

 — The Princess of Cleves [1678]. 1892 
 
 ^ story that marks an epoch in literary history as a long stride from the love romances of 
 Scudery and Calprenede (whose style she had imitated in Zayde), towards the realistic 
 methods and spirit of modem fiction. The characters are still royal and aristocratic' 
 personages, but the evolution of the love-story is by the natural unfolding of motive and 
 character, and the emotions and incidents are those of real hfe. The story opens in 1558, 
 in the reign of Henry II, with the marriage of Mary of Scotland to the Dauphin. Numerous 
 celebrities of that time appear, at least in name, but the characters are to a large extent 
 drawn from well-known people of Louis XIV's reign. [Transl. by T. S. Perry, 2 vols.,

 ScARRON, Paul [1611-60]. The Comical Romance (1651-7) ; and other Tales. 1676 
 
 The adventures of a troupe of strolling players, who come to Le Mans, and play Herod and Mari- 
 amne in burlesque fashion, the tragedy being turned to farce by the mean habiUments of 
 the actors, and ending in a fight with the owners of the clothes they have stolen. Of 
 high importance as the earliest faithful picture of French provincial Ufe, and, in its indivi- 
 dual portraiture, a forerunner of the modern novel. Satirizes the affected diction, the 
 unreal sentimentahty, and the foppish heroics of Calprenede and Scudery, of whose style 
 Scarron's is the very antipodes — plain, coarse, maUciously plebeian. The narrative is 
 interspersed with short, fanciful tales, borrowed from Spain, a contreist to the realism of 
 Scarron's original work. He did not finish it, but sequels were suppUed by the Abb6 
 Preschac and the publisher, Offray (the latter is incorporated in Tom Browne's translation).

 ScuDERY, Madeleine de [1608-1701]. Ibrahim ; or. The Illustrious Bassa : an 
 Excellent New Romance [1641]. 1652 
 
 Mile, de Scudfiry's novels, with the exception of Mathilde d'Aguilar, were published under 
 the name of her brother Georges (1601-67), a soldier and a literary man, whose share in 
 this production seems to have consisted only of the romantic ground-plan. The gallery 
 of portraits, largely drawn from notabilities of the French Court (not so, however, in this 
 particular novel), the letters and conversations, and the elaborate analyses of sentiment 
 for which they are most famous, were entirely her work. Ibrahim was dramatized by 
 Georges de Scudery in 1645. The scene is Constantinople, Ibrahim being Vizier to the 
 Sultan Sohman II. Elkanah Settle founded a play Ibrahim on the novel. [Transl. by

 Artamenes; or, The Grand Cyrus [Artamene; ou, le Grand Cyrus). 1653-5 
 
 Artam^ne ; ou, le Grand Cyrus appeared in ten parts from 1649 ?-i653. This and the CUlie are 
 the most famous examples of the romance of gallantry, and are of much interest even yet 
 on account of the truth with which the manners and ideas, and the whole mental atmo- 
 sphere of the time — the time of the salons and the pricieuses — are reproduced, and of the 
 many contemporaries portrayed in the characters. In The Grand Cyrus, Callicrate is Voi- 
 ture; Cleomire, Mme. de Rambouillet ; Aristhfie, Chapelain; Damophile, Mme.de Buisson ; 
 SaphOj the authoress herself, etc. Cyrus, son of Cambyses, King of Persia, is exposed in a 
 forest, saved by shepherds, and brought up under the name of ArtemSne. He meets with 
 a vast and comphcated series of adventures, in the same way as the heroes and heroines of 
 La CalprenSde ; repeatedly rescues his cousin Mandane, with whom he falls in love, and 
 at length is united to her. Besides the portraits, which were so much enjoyed by the sub- 
 jects and their friends that the collection of written portraits soon became a fashionable 
 hobby exploited in a number of books. The Grand Cyrus introduced the formal conversa- 
 tion, which treated a given subject much in the manner of an elaborate essay. The chosen 
 topics were such matters as love, marriage, the " air galant," raillery, death, " femmes 
 savautes." Mile, de Scudery went much further than her predecessors in the analysis 
 of manners and sentiments, the casuistry of conduct and behaviour. Her characterization 
 of herself as the superfine, sensitive Sapho incidentally explains the whole theory of the 
 sentimental novel. Dryden's Secret Love, Marriage d, la Mode, and Aurungzebe, and Banks's 
 Cyrus the Great, were drawn from The Grand Cyrus. It was translated into a number of 
 languages. [Transl. by F. G., 5 vols., Lond., 1653-5 '■ O-P] 
 
 Cleila : an Excellent New Romance {Clelie: Histoire Romaine) [1654-60]. 
 
 1656-60 
 CUlie, Histoire Romaine (1654-60), which Ukewise appeared in 10 vols., is also quasi-historical 
 and full of disguised characters. Clehe is the daughter of a noble Roman who has taken 
 refuge from the tyrant Tarquin in Carthage, where Clelie's hand is sought by three lovers : 
 Aronce, son of Porsenna of Clusium; the Numidian, Prince Adherbal; and the Roman, 
 Horace. The scene shifts to Capua, to Perusia, Lake Thrasimene, Ardea, and Rome. The 
 rape of Lucretia and the expulsion of the kings are worked into the plot, which is wound 
 up at length by the marriage of C16he and Aronce. An enormous array of subjects are 
 treated in the elaborate conversations — that on friendship brings in the famous Carte 
 de Tendre — and among the portraits we get Louis XIV, Mile, de Longueville, Mme. de 
 Maintenon, Ninon de I'Enclos, Sarrasin, Fouquet, Pellisson, and Scarron. The book 
 sheds a flood of light on the doings of the Hotel de Rambouillet and the other salons, and 
 the history of conversation at the period. The salons were a meeting-place of men of 
 letters with people of rank, and Mile, de Scudery aimed to reproduce the tone of men and 
 women of the world in poUte conversation. The lovers made love according to the stilted 
 code of etiquette which had been established by the cult of the novel of sentiment from 
 d'Urfe's Astree to La Calpren^de. This book is said to have been translated, not only 
 into English, German, and Italian, but even into Arabic. The vogue of all these romances 
 was enormous. Lee's play Lucius Junius Brutus was from Clelie. [Transl. by John

 Le Berger extravagant (1627), of which a third vol. with Remarques was pubh.shed the next year, 
 the whole being included in V Anti-Roman; ou, I' Histoire du berger Lysis, accompagnes 
 de ses remarques (1633), is a satire on the contemporary romances. Lysis, son of a silk- 
 man in Paris, is sent to study law, but reads romances and takes to shepherding. His 
 absurdities are rather dull and monotonous, but there are good incidents, as where Lysis, 
 seeing a lady taken in by a counterfeit letter, jumps on the stage, Uke Fielding's Partridge, 
 and addresses her in impromptu verse. Much of the satire is merely verbal — caricature of 
 high-flown diction and the romantic use of heathen mythology. Episodes are constantly

 SuBLiGNY, Adrien Thomas Perdou de. The Mock-Clelia : being a Comical History 
 of French Gallantrie and Novels. In imitation of Dom Quixote [1670]. 1678 
 
 One of the more laboured parodies of the novel of gallantry. La Fausse CUlie ; Histoire 
 franpaise galante et comique {1670) ; never finished. The young lady who is the butt or 
 heroine is a devoted reader of " Monsieur de Scudery 's " romances, and adventures befall 
 her preposterously hke those of CleUe. She loses her sense of identity, and performs all 
 sorts of extravagances in emulation of her heroine. Probably this book suggested the 
 idea of her Female Quixote to Mrs. Lennox. [Transl. for Langley Curtis, Loud., 1678 :

 URFfi, Honore d' [1568-1625]. The History of Astrea: in Twelve Bookes 
 [1607-19]. 1620 
 
 The three parts of the famous Astrde written by d'Urfe himseU came out from 1607 to 1619. 
 (His secretary Baro completed a fourth part from d'Urf 6's notes, wrote a fifth, and a sixth was 
 added in 1626). It is the most important of a large number of romances (fully analysed 
 by M. Gustave Reynier in Le Roman sentimental avant l'Astr4e, Paris, 1908), which were 
 produced during the later years of Henry TV's reign, all following the lead of Sanazzaro 
 and Montemayor. It depicts a golden age of imaginary simplicity, contrasted with, yet 
 curiously resembhng in manners and conceits, the sophisticated life of contemporary 
 society, and dressing up the conventional characters of romance in rustic costumes on a 
 rural stage. D'Urf6 handled the subject of love with a new psychological analysis, in long 
 conversations, letters, and sententious billets-doux which were prized as gems of epistolary 
 art. His shepherds and shepherdesses are obviouslj^ people used to refined society — not 
 vulgar hinds, but poets and ideaUsts with a fluent command of amorous dialectic and neat 
 versification. The love-tale is enormously long and comphcated ; the one thing in which 
 we can still take unfeigned pleasure is his description of the beloved scenery of his native

 tory (unfinished) of the Punic wars in Africa and Spain down to the end of the second war 
 in the battle of Zama. The Princess de Conte, to whom the work was inscribed, appears 
 as Emilia, and her husband is the hero Scipio. [Rendered into Enghsh (the first three

 VoiTURE, Vincent [1598-1648]. Zelinde: an excellent new romance [1633]. 1676 
 Described as " translated from the French of Monsieur de Scud^ry," but really from Voiture's 
 Histoire d'Alcidalis et Zilide (1633), an unfinished work parodying the fashionable heroico- 
 sentimental style and the love sophistry of the Hotel de Rambouillet ; completed by Des- 
 barres and pubUshed after Voiture's death. There was another Enghsh translation in 1678. 
 The English Zelinde is really one of the most tolerable of its class, the fantastic adventures 
 of the lover AlcidaHs being quite amusing. It is Uke a tonic after the wearisome monotony 
 of Calprenede and Scudery. [Transl. by T. D. (Thos. Durfey, or Duffet), 1676 : o.p. ;

 1896 
 Lesage is the finest product of the picaresque school, for earlier examples of which see under 
 Spanish Literature — especially Aleman, Mendoza, Quevedo. This was begun as an imita- 
 tion of a novel by Guevara, but the idea developed on independent lines. A profligate 
 young student secures the henchmanship of a demon, and journeys through Spain in a 
 miraculous fashion, meeting with a host of adventures. The book is a string of realistic 
 episodes, full of wit, mahce, and acute observation of Uf e akin to that of the fashionable col- 
 lections of caractires ; many of the characters are drawn from the writer's contemporaries,

 Gil Bias [1715-35]- 1885-6 
 
 Both the form of this masterpiece of picaresque romance and the characters and incidents 
 
 were borrowed from Spain. It portrays aU sides of life and all classes of people, in a 
 series of changing scenes, incident to the hero's adventurous career as he rises stage by 
 stage from the condition of valet to that of confidant of the Prime Minister of Spain. 
 A " comedy in a hundred acts," it has been justly called ; the humour being too good- 
 natured and tolerant to be described as satire. [Transl. by H. van Laun, 3 vols., 63s.,

 Lesage, Alain Rene {continued). — Vanillo Gonzales ; and, The Bachelor of 
 Salamanca [1736]. 1881 
 
 Two more Spanish stories, the first romantic, the second reahstic or picaresque. The memoirs 
 of the Bachelor of Salamanca, Don Cherubin, have much the same essential design as the 
 foregoing, satirizing in the same tolerant way many kinds of people and society. Vanillo 
 Gonzales was apparently based on a Spanish novel with a similar title (1640) ; it was trans- 
 lated into English by Smollett, who, confessedly, owed a great deal to Lesage. [(i)

 Two httle masterpieces of prose style and quaint meditative fancy. The first {Voyage autour 
 de ma chambre) is a whimsical account of the author's experiences and reflections during 
 a confinement to his quarters in Turin. He surveys the various objects in his room, 
 weaves httle romances about them and about his mistress, and moraUzes on his servant ; 
 all in the manner of Sterne's sentimental lucubrations, with even more of the sentimental 
 posing. The other {Expedition nocturne autour de ma chambre) is similar in motive and 
 design, [(i) Transl. by H. Attwell, 2s. 6d., Chatto, 1871, repr. 1883: o.p.; both transl.

 Marivaux, Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de [1688-1763]. The Virtuous Orphan ; or, 
 The Life of Marianne, Countess of {La Vie de Marianne) [1731-41]. 1784 
 
 Never completed. Marivaux is a curious study in the history of fiction, and the question of 
 the relation between his novels and those of Richardson and Fielding is a perplexing sub- 
 ject. Marivaudage has been defined as " the metaphysic of love-making." His novels 
 are studies of sentimentahty, the actors analysing their feehngs for the benefit not only 
 of themselves but of each other. The language in which this sensibility is expressed must 
 be studied in the original ; it is a singular, and for its purposes, a masterly style. This 
 novel " is a picture of social life, and a study, sometimes infinitely subtle, of the emotions 
 of his heroine ; her genius for coquetrj' is finely alUed to her maiden pride ; the hypocrite, 
 M. de CUmal — old angel fallen — is a new variety of the family of Tartufe " (Edward Dowden) . 
 " The real importance of Marianne in the history of fiction is that it is the first example of a 
 novel of analysis rather than of incident (though incident is still prominent), and the 
 first in which an elaborate style, strongly imbued with mannerism, is applied to this 
 purpose " (Saintsbury) . [4 vols., Lond., 1784 : o.p. ; another transl. is The Hand of Destiny ;

 Begun 1735, but never finished. This, which tells of the successes of one whom women favour, 
 is on a lower level of art and of morals. In both his greater novels Marivaux's object is to 
 show a young and healthy nature in conflict with the difficulties of hfe. The young man's 
 struggle is fighter, because his sex gives him better chances of success. In both novels 
 Marivaux excels in depicting the manners and characters of the bourgeois classes as well 
 as the aristocratic world to which he himself belonged, [o.p.]

 The subject is the infatuation of an estimable, but weak young man for a pleasure-loving woman, 
 to whom he attaches himself in spite of the active opposition of his friends. They gain their 
 living in the most shameful ways, and are at last driven into the wilds of America, where 
 she dies in his arms. Handicapped as it seems by these unromantic features, the story is 
 an incomparable paean of true love, the feeling genuine and even pure. There is not a 
 touch of sensuality or indelicacy. This famous book was originally an episode appended 
 to Memoires et Aventures d'un Homme de Qualiti qui s'est retiri du Monde {1728—33), a 
 rambling work embodying incidents from his own life. [First English transl. of Manon

 matters, and descriptions of Indian hfe in America, in a sentimental style. There is an 
 
 interesting episode about a Utopian colony of Huguenot refugees planted on an Atlantic

 The Dean of Coleraine: a JVIoral History founded on the memoirs of an

 The adventures of an Irish Catholic family^the Dean of Coleraine, his brothers and their 
 beautiful sister — ^who emigrate to France after the Enghsh revolution. The didactic 
 object is realized chiefly in the tedious moralizing of the Dean upon the mistakes and 
 misfortunes of his relatives. Prevost was a contemporary of Marivaux, and their mutual 
 influence was not inconsiderable. But while Marivaux's powers of analysing sentiment 
 and motive opened a new epoch, Prevost, dealing with similar phases of Ufe and society, 
 was content with simple description. [Transl. 1752; another edn., 1780: o.p.]

 Heloise ; ou, Lettres de deux Amans hahitans d'une petite Ville au pied des Alpes) 
 [1761]. 1820 
 
 A voluminous romance, told in letters, in which Rousseau seems to be feeding his imagination 
 with the pleasures of satisfied love and the sentimental ecstasies of which destiny had 
 deprived his heart. The egotistic hero loves his well-born pupil and is loved by her, but 
 they are parted, and she marries another.- Later, the lover is invited to return, and lives 
 with the married pair. An Arcadian picture is drawn of pure and felicitous wedded Ufe, 
 and the true way of educating children as expounded in Amile. Criticizes, from a lofty 
 standpoint, the sophisticated Ufe of cities as compared with that of nature, and includes 
 regular dissertations on suicide, duelUng, charity, reUgion, etc. A landmark in the 
 history of literature, in its praise of rural joys and plainness of Uving. [3 vols., Edin- 
 burgh : o.p.] 
 
 Saint-Pierre, Bernardin de [i 737-1814]. Paul and Virginia [1786-8]. 1890 
 An idyll of primitive natures, the classic expression of a favourite eighteenth-century idea, 
 civiUzation coming into contact with and bUghting unsophisticated man. Utopian 
 sentimentaUsm, akin to that of the old Italian pastorals, is the inspiration, and the in- 
 habitants of the Happy Valley are models of human perfection. The style of the original 
 shows the first development of modern word-painting — language expressing sensation.

 Babouc, Zadig, Plato's Dream, Candide, L'Inginu, etc. A famous collection of dialogues, 
 apologues, contes, expounding with inimitable art and wit a definite series of pMlosophic 
 views on the conduct of hfe and society. Babouc is a satire on the evils of war, public 
 and private immoraUty, and misgovernment. Its conclusion is that the good in human 
 affairs compensates for the evil, and, that if things are not all good, they are, at all events, 
 passable. L'Inginu is a Huron transferred to Europe, whose naive perplexities and search- 
 ing questions expose the inconsistencies of Roman Cathohc customs and formulas with 
 the teaching of the Bible, and of social conventions with reason and true moraUty. Many 
 of the tales are very short ; all are witty, thoughtful, and sincere applications of philo- 
 sophic truths to the facts of hfe. [Zadig and other Tales, transl. by B. B. Bosworth

 Candide; or, All for the Best [1759]. 1759 
 
 A farrago of diverting incidents, the object of which is to burlesque the teleological philosophy 
 
 of Leibnitz by a reductio ad absurdum, and controvert freewill by showing the inexorable 
 power of circumstances. This it does with brilhant irony and implacable force. Both 
 the old and the new worlds are shown to be full of crime and misery ; there is no true 
 happiness or virtue on earth. Optimism is proved absurd. Therefore, let us give up 
 theorizing and do our best — let us till our garden. [Candide, the Optimist (Morley's Uni-

 Zadig ; and, other Tales. 1891 
 
 Further satire of effete dogmas, and comparisons of theory with reahties. Zadig is a young 
 
 Babylonian whose comic mishaps are pegs for the author's philosophic commentary ; 
 main theme, the difficulty of securing happiness by reason of the malice of one's neigh- 
 bours. Zadig tries to reform society, but finds human conventions and formulas invincible. 
 In Micromigas, a Philosophic Story, the same doctrine is embodied, and the absurdities 
 of humanity displayed, as it were, in cosmic perspective. [Transl. by R. B. Boswell,

 Chateaubriand, Francois Rene, Vicomte de [1768-1848]. Atala (Aiala; ou, les 
 
 Amours de deux Sauvages dans le Desert) [1801]. 1893 
 
 Originally intended as an episode in his poem Les Natchez. A famous prose idyll of 
 
 resurgent romanticism — " a sort of poem," says the author, " half descriptive, half 
 
 dramatic ... to which I have tried to give the most ancient forms ; it is divided 
 
 into prologue, narrative, and epilogue." Recites in an elevated strain the passionate 
 
 love of two beings, who are not really savages, but have the freedom of the savage with 
 
 the knowledge and susceptibility given by European training. The fervid descriptions 
 
 of woods and prairies and mightjf rivers often reach the sublime in spite of their 
 
 rhetoric and sentimentaUty ; but the extent to which Chateaubriand freed himself 
 
 from convention can be reahzed only by comparison with the Radchffian romances. He 
 
 had himself wandered in the solitudes of the North American backwoods, where the scenes 
 
 take place. [Si, 75c., Page, Boston ; illustrated by Gustav Dore, Cassell, 1884 : o.p.]

 A long reverie, in which an unhappy man (a shadow of Chateaubriand himself) reviews his 
 
 Ufe and cries out for happiness that earth cannot give. Lyrical in diction, which shows 
 strongly the influence of Macpherson's Ossian. More even than in Atala, the scenery 
 is but a vehicle to express the surging emotions. First included with and then detached

 marvels of classical poetry, to present an ornate and comprehensive picture of Christianity 
 rising superior to paganism. Borrows dehberately the methods of Homer, Virgil, Milton, 
 and Tasso. Invocations in right epic style, strange voyages, supernatural wonders in

 mistress of Adolphe, not corresponding in any way with the illustrious savante. Prof. 
 Saintsbury considers this book the last fruit of the hterature of sensibihty. Adolphe 
 enters into relations with Ellenore as a sentimental episode ; but the woman regards the 
 bond more seriously, and dies, in the sequel, broken-hearted. It is a frank confession of

 which gives a view of the world as seen through the eyes of a parasite. 1805 was the date

 A kind of meditative romance, or long sohloquy, in letters, by a disciple of Rousseau, which 
 made a deep impression on his contemporaries and on Matthew Arnold, but is almost 
 unreadable now. S^nancour had already poured out the melancholy of a disillusioned 
 soul, and preached atheism and stoical endurance, in his Reveries sur la nature primitive 
 de I'homme {1799). In Obermann, Uke Chateaubriand in Rene, but with a deeper pessimism, 
 he projects himself, bemoaning the futility of life and vainly essaying to soothe his sorrow 
 and despair with the beauty and grandeur of Alpine scenery. [With biographical and

 Like her earlier novel, Delphine, a kind of ideaHzed autobiography and picturesque tour 
 couched in the form of a novel. " The first aesthetic romance not written in German " 
 (G. Saintsbury) . The story is defective ; the permanent interest is the emotional history 
 of two sympathetic and sensitive minds, as they contemplate Italian scenery, monuments, 
 pictures, sculpture, hterature, and manners. [Transl., with introd., by G. Saintsbury,

 NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QU ARTER— 1826-1850 
 Balzac, Honore de [i 799-1850]. La Comedie Humaine: — 
 
 Balzac has been described as a demographer rather than a novehst. His Comidie Humaine 
 a stupendous fragment, was designed as a complete and systematic survey of the life of 
 man in its various manifestations, a design carried out so far as to constitute the fullest 
 representation extant of modem civilization. He lacked humour, sympathy, refinement, 
 and the passion for beauty. Balzac's dramatic energy and profound sense of the romance 
 of life, however, make his novels as mere stories enthralling in incident and alive with 
 actuality. 
 
 SCENES OF PRIVATE LIFE. 
 
 At the Sign of the Cat and Rackety etc. [1830-2]. 1896 
 
 The novelette thus entitled {La Maison du Chat-qui-Pelote, 1830) is the touching history of 
 a draper's daughter who marries out of her sphere, and fails to win the affection that is 
 a necessity of her nature. Depicts quiet bourgeois hfe with Dutch minuteness, and 
 gives a detailed painting of a large business estabhshment. The Sceaux Ball ; or. The Peer of 
 France (1830), satirizes people who affect to despise business. Sir Walter Besant describes 
 The Purse (1832) as " one of the most charming Uttle bits of love, innocence, and nature 
 in aU Balzac." La Vendetta {1830) is the story of a rich and talented girl of Corsican parent- 
 age, who marries a man with whom her family is at feud, and reaps a harvest of calamities, 
 and Madame Firmiani (1832), abright, sUght social comedy. [Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 A Woman of Thirty, etc. [1830-^]. 1897 
 
 A group of stories in which the interest and pathos depend, more or less directly, on the attach- 
 ment of married ladies to men who are not their husbands. La Grenadilre (1832), written 
 in one day, is full of tender pictures of Balzac's native Touraine. The Woman of Thirty 
 (La Femme de Trente Ans), hke Le Lys dans la Vallee, develops a favourite motive of 
 Balzac's, an attractive young woman sacrificed to a dull husband. A Forsaken Lady (La 
 Femme abandonnee, 1832), The Message (1832), and Gobseck (1830), are brief pieces.

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 Balzac, Honore de [continued). — La Grande Breteche, etc. [1830-42]. 1896 
 
 La Grande Breteche (in sequel to A nother Study of Woman) is a ruined and deserted mansion 
 on the Loire, the scene of a deceived husband's terrible vengeance. Another Study of 
 Woman (1831) is a similar tale of intrigue and revenge near the Beresina during the 
 Russian campaign. A Study of Woman (1831), The Imaginary Mistress (La Fausse 
 Maltresse, 1842), and Peace in the House (La Pai;i; dwiW^jjag'e), are all very short stories. 
 Albert Savarus (1842), a story of passion and intrigue, is more elaborate ; an unscrupulous 
 girl in love with the hero persuading her rival that he is unfaithful, and, when she has 
 driven him into a monastery, leaving no stone unturned to make life a misery for the 
 deceived woman. 
 
 A Marriage Settlement [Le Contrat de Manage), etc. [1830-44]. 1898 
 
 A Marriage Settlement (Le Contrat de Mariage, 1835) recounting the negotiations about a 
 
 marriage settlement, a spendthrift mother plotting to get the better of her son-in-law, shows 
 the author's practical acquaintance with the details of finance and law. A Start in Life 
 (Un Dibut dans la Vie, 1844) is a humorous history of a young man of inordinate vanity, 
 whose infirmity gets him into great difficulties, but who is at length cured by drastic treat- 
 ment. A Second Home (Une Double Famille, 1830) tells how an honourable and worthy 
 man, estranged by the coldness and lack of sympathy of his bigoted wife, takes a mistress 
 and has a second family. Retribution comes upon him through his children. 
 
 The Atheist's Mass, etc. [1831-44]. 1896 
 
 The first (La Messe de I'Athie, 1836), commemorating a brotherly friend of Balzac's, is the 
 
 pathetic story of an infidel's tribute to the reUgion of a great and modest soul, who had 
 been to him more than a father in his days of adversity. The longest story, Honorine 
 (1844), is of a husband who watches over the unloving wife who deserted him. He employs 
 a deputy to win her back, with disastrous consequences. Colonel Chabert (1832) is more 
 deeply tragic : the Colonel ^enounces wealth, fame, and even his own identity, rather 
 than punish the wife who treated him infamously. In The Commission in Lunacy 
 (L' Interdiction, 1836), Judge Bppinot is an ideal portrait of a just and charitable man : 
 this and Pierre Grassou (1841) are short pieces. [Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 A Daughter of Eve, etc. [1839-40]. 1897 
 
 In A Daughter of Eve (1839) a man of the world rescues his young wife from a false position, 
 
 and saves his own honour, with a dehcacy that does him infinite credit. Letters of Two 
 Brides (Mimoires de Deux Jeunes Mariies, 1842) contrasts the married hfe of two girls 
 who have been brought up together, and contains a surpassing picture of true mother- 
 hood. [The Two Young Brides (transl.), with a critical introduction by Henry James, 
 7s. 6d., Heinemann, 1902.] 
 
 Beatrix [1840]. 1896 
 
 A love-drama laid in an old-fashioned corner of Brittany, the quaint manners of which furnish 
 
 an interesting picture of bygone phases of hfe. A fascinating and heartless coquette is 
 passionately loved by a fine young Breton,, who is the object in turn of several maidens' 
 affection. Two admirable types of womanly character are drawn among the latter. 
 
 Modeste Mignon [1844]. 1896 
 
 Modeste Mignon falls in love with the portrait of a famous poet, and enters into correspondence 
 
 with him, being repUed to by his secretary. This is the beginning of an amusing en- 
 tanglement. She is rescued from her embarrassment by her father, who gives her the 
 opportunity of choosing between the real and the sham poet, and the upshot of the 
 comedy is surprising. 
 
 SCENES OF PROVINCIAL LIFE. 
 
 Pierrette ; and, The Abb6 Birotteau [1832-40]. 1896 
 
 Two short novels — Les CMibataires I ; Pierrette (1840) — ^the story of a saintly girl victimized 
 
 and ultimately done to death by a pair of wretches. Le Curi de Tours (1832), a minor 
 episode in the ecclesiastical life of Balzac's native Tours. The Abb^, an amiable, un- 
 ambitious epicure, just as his modest ideals of a comfortable latter-Ufe are about to be 
 fulfilled, and he beholds a happy vista to the grave, finds himself robbed of house and home 
 by an ambitious priest. Shows up the intrigues and social factions that ferment in a 
 provincial town. 
 
 Eugenie Grandet [1833]. 1896 
 
 The Ufelong martyrdom of a character of exaggerated beauty ; innocent, gentle, faithful, and 
 
 long-suffering ; sacrificed first to her father's inhuman avarice, and then to the brutal 
 indifference of husband and lover ; yet wrongs and sUghts to her innocent love only 
 
 536 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 reveal more grandly the fortitude and strength of her soul. PSre Grandet is one of Balzac's 
 monomaniacs, a portentous figure of concentrated avarice ; and the dull and colourless 
 existence of the miser's household makes a gloomy and hideous picture. Perhaps this is 
 Balzac's nearest approach to a perfect work of art, his novels being as a rule lacking in 
 composition and unity. [Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 Balzac, Honors de (continued). — The Lily of the Valley [1836]. 1897 
 
 The pathos of innocent suffering and self-renunciation long drawn out, in the struggle between 
 love and duty of a pure woman, married to a bad husband, and tempted by her love for a 
 young and amiable man. The Lily dies a martyr to her fidelity. 
 
 The Jealousies of a Country Town, etc. {Les Rivalites^La Vieille Fille) 
 
 [1836-9]. 1898 
 
 The Old Maid is a comedy with grotesque characters, especially the old maid.^whose misfor- 
 tunes are at once ludicrous and pathetic, and her suitor, the Chevaher de Valois — a strange 
 pair of originals. In The Collection of Antiquities (Le Cabinet des Antiques, 1839) a young 
 rake commits forgery, and is saved from disgracing his aristocratic family by,the influence 
 of a certain great lady and the skill of the family notary. 
 
 A Bachelor's Establishment [Les Celihataires II — Un Menage de Garfon) 
 
 [1842]. 1896 
 
 The Bachelor is a rich old uncle of the Bridan family, the eldest son of which contrives to 
 marry his uncle to a pretty housekeeper, then marries her himself and inherits the 
 property, and after a disreputable career ends his Ufe miserably. 
 
 Parisians in the Country, etc. (Les Pahsiens en Provence — L'lllustre Gaudissart, 
 
 and La Muse du Departement) [1833-43]. 1898. 
 
 Gaudissart the Great (1833), a favourite character of Balzac's, reappears in C^sar Birotteau, 
 Cousin Pons, and elsewhere ; the present story is slight and very comic, describing how 
 the commercial traveller and insurance agent Gaudissart is induced by a wag to try his 
 persuasive talents on a lunatic. The Muse of the Department {1843) is more elaborate ; 
 the subject largely irregular love. Many important characters are included : Lousteau, 
 an objectionable fellow, is said to be a sketch of the critic Jules Janin. Bianchon appears 
 in a pleasant role, and the women are mostly prepossessing. 
 
 Ursule Mirouet [1842]. 1896 
 
 A didactic novel written specially for the young person, dealing with Swedenborgianism and 
 clairvoyance : the innocent and pious heroine converts her guardian, who is an atheist. 
 Gives a realistic picture of the placid life and uncorrupted manners of a provincial town, 
 Nemours, the characters of a little group of amiable old men, and the meanness and greed 
 of rapacious relatives. 
 
 Lost Illusions [1843]. 1897 
 
 A Distinguished Provincial at Paris [sequel]. 1897 
 
 Connected stories which virtually form one long novel, the most comprehensive and the most 
 representative of any in the series, in fact an epitome of the Comidie Humaine, entitled 
 respectively. Illusions Perdues I., Two Poets, and Eve and David ; and Illusions Perdues II. 
 and Un Grand Homme de Province A Paris. Lucien de Rubempre, a weak and dandified 
 young author, is the central figure throughout. After scandalizing the people of Angouleme 
 by his platonic relations with a great lady, he goes to Paris as her prot6ge, full of confidence 
 as to the sensation he is to make. His disillusionment begins without delay. First taken 
 up by the C^nacle, a coterie of literary men, he is soon dropped by them, and enters upon 
 journaUsm. Parisian journaUsro. is abominably corrupt, and Lucien, after a meteoric 
 career, goes back to his native city, ruined in money, health, and morals. His calamities 
 also involve his blameless relatives, the young married people. Eve and David, two quiet 
 and industrious tradespeople, a model of conjugal fidehty. This group of novels is crowded 
 with Uving characters of every shade of evil and goodness. Society in the provinces and 
 the literary and artistic world of Paris are represented with remorseless reahsm, and the 
 meanness, treachery, and depravity of mankind scathingly exposed. A Harlot's Progress 
 (Splendeurs et Misires des Courtisanes) is the conclusion of this long history.

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 SCENES OF PARISIAN LIFE. 
 
 Balzac, Honore de (continued). — The Thirteen (Histoire des Treize) [1833-4]. 1898 
 The Thirteen are a secret brotherhood of men belonging to the most widely separated ranks 
 and professions, and bound to each other by indissoluble ties, who make themselves into 
 a force superior to the law — a story full of melodramatic interest. Ferragus (1833) cele- 
 brates conjugal love ; and The Duchess of Langeais (1834) narrates a woman's self-abandon- 
 ment to passion, the lover's contempt, and her suicide. She is a woman of generous and 
 not ignoble nature, whose fate is very pathetic, and Balzac's quondam friend, the Duchesse 
 de Castries, is said to be the original. 
 
 Old Goriot [Pere Goriot) [1835]. 1896 
 
 A grandiose example of the tendency to simplify character, to reduce a personality to one 
 
 overmastering passion or instinct, noted already in the Scenes of Provincial Life. Goriot, 
 another of Balzac's monomaniacs, symbolizes the extravagance of paternal sacrifice : 
 " he is the modern King Lear," impoverishing himself to give his daughters dowries, 
 and when they are reduced to straits by their depravity, stripping himself to save them. 
 In this pathetic figure centres a lurid spectacle of social corruption ; the most infernal 
 and the most despicable inhabitants of the criminal world are grouped around him, and 
 over all the grim and sinister features of the Maison Vauquer flings its malevolent shadow. 
 [Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 The Rise and Fall of Cesar Birotteau [1838]. 1896 
 
 The career of a perfumer who speculates heavily, is robbed by his associates, and becomes a 
 
 bankrupt. The characters are nearly all of a wholesome kind, and Cesar himself is an 
 ordinary man, whose virtues and foibles are so human that he wins the reader in spite of 
 his absurdities. The bankruptcy proceedings have often been cited as a witness to Balzac's 
 familiarity with the intricacies of French law. [Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 A Princess's Secrets [Les Secrets de la Princesse de Cadignan) [1838-9]. 1898 
 
 A drawing-room comedy containing some of Balzac's acutest observations on social Ufe. A 
 
 queen of fashion and a great writer are the principals. The profligate, brilliant, and worldly- 
 wise princess courts the accomphshed master of theoretical wisdom — a representation 
 of Balzac himself — thus symbolizing " the seduction of genius by experience." The 
 other piece, Bureaucracy {Les Employes, 1838) gives the comedy of intrigue in a pubUc 
 office. M. Rabourdin, head of a bureau, has a scheme for reducing the staff, and the 
 draft is stolen by an underhng. The plots and counterplots are very amusing. The 
 heroine is Madame Rabourdin, who makes adroit use of feminine arts to aid her spouse. 
 
 A Harlot's Progress (Splendeurs et Miseres des Courtisanes) [1843]. 1897 
 
 Four main episodes or connected stories concluding the history of Lucien, who at the close 
 of the last episode had come into the power of the ruffian Vautrin : Esther Happy ; What 
 Love Costs an Old Man (Combien V Amour revient aux Vieillards) : The End of Evil Ways 
 (OA Mineni les Mauvais Chemins) ; Vautrin's Last Avatar {La Derniire Incarnation de 
 Vautrin). Lucien hves for a while in outward honour in the highest society of Peiris, but 
 at length the crimes of his accomplice involve him in ruin and ignominy, and the sole refuge 
 is suicide. Vautrin's history is highly melodramatic : after a career of successful villainy 
 he falls into the clutches of the law, and renouncing his associates becomes chief of police. 
 A terrible panorama of the underworld of Paris, with its abandonment to dissipation, its 
 crimes and miseries ; yet a picture never wholly lacking in the beauty of human kindness 
 and purity unspotted in the midst of depravity. (See also p. 537, Lost Illusions, etc.) 
 [2 vols.] 
 
 The Unconscious Mummers, etc. [1844-6]. 1897 
 
 Short stories : Les Comidiens sans le Savoir (1846), A Prince of Bohemia (1845), A Man of 
 
 Business {Vn Homme d'Affaires), Gaudissari II. (1844), The Firm of Nucingen {La Maison 
 Nucingen) containing a remarkable dialogue in which four accomphshed scandalmongers 
 tear Parisian society to tatters. Facino Cane is a notable Balzacian example of a whole 
 romance compressed into one episode. The Venetian prince, introduced as a poor blind 
 musician in Paris, is an incarnation of the lust for gold, one of those preternatural develop- 
 ments of a single passion in which Balzac delights. 
 
 Cousin Betty [Les Parents Pauvres I.— La Cousine Bette) [1846]. 1897 
 
 A repulsive picture of the corrupt hfe of Paris, harsh in its portrayal of infamous types, and 
 
 the realistic exposure of lust and greed, passion, hatred and jealousy, obscurely working 
 together beneath the surface. LesUe Stephen said of Balzac, " Paris is a hell ; but hell 
 
 538 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 is tlie only place worth living in." Adeline Hulot and her daughter Hortense are, never- 
 theless, dehcate types of womanhood. In the peasant woman, Cousine Bette, the author 
 shows us the poor relation overwhelmed with injuries and indignities and meanly avenging 
 the offences to her vanity. 
 
 Balzac, Honore de (continued). — Cousin Pons [Les Parents Pauvres II. — Le Cousin 
 Pons) [1846]. 1897 
 
 Exposes the selfishness, vanity, and corruption of Parisian life with the same relentless reahsm, 
 in the lower social world of the minor theatres, lodging-house keepers, curiosity shops, 
 poor artists and bohemians. Over against this sordid section of society is set the beauti- 
 ful friendship of two old musicians, the sentimental Schmucke and Cousin Pons. Much 
 artistic interest : Pons is a virtuoso who, in spite of poverty, has collected a treasury of 
 beautiful things, and these Balzac describes with the gusto of a connoisseur. [Also in 
 Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 The Middle Classes {Les Petits Bourgeois) [1856-7]. 1899 ^ 
 
 Said to have been finished by Charles Rabou, but probably not his work to any large extent. , / 
 A study of the bourgeois classes of Paris, minute in its account of municipal affairs, and ' 
 the colossal comphcations of a petty intrigue. One of the longest novels in the Comidie 
 Humaine. 
 
 SCENES OF POLITICAL LIFE. 
 
 A Gondreville Mystery {Une Tenebreuse Affaire) [1843J. 1898 
 
 A tragic story with an intricate mystery-plot, concerned with a Royalist conspiracy against 
 Napoleon. With its collapse the police are hot on the scent of aristocrats. The plots 
 and counterplots of the police and a devoted bailiff, allied with a kinswoman who reminds 
 one of Scott's Di Vernon, are thrilUng. Her interview with Napoleon on the field of Jena 
 reaches the subhme. An Episode of the Terror (1831) is an affecting little anecdote of some 
 RoyaUsts in Paris and their strange encounter with an arch-enemy. 
 
 The Seamy Side of History (L'Envers de I'Histoire Contemporaine, 1847) 
 
 [1840-7]. 1897 
 
 Contains two episodes in the history of a Brotherhood of Consolation, a secret society of men 
 joined together for the purpose of remedying the evils which society neglects. In one, 
 the father and son of an invahd lady endure the extremes of want in order to maintain 
 her in the aristocratic luxury she was used to before the Revolution. Madame de la 
 Chanterie, persecuted and outraged, yet never faiHng in faith and fortitude, is the most 
 subUme figure in the Comidie Humaine. Z. Marcas (1840) — strange anticipation of Gam- 
 betta, both in character and history, as Anatole de la Forge pointed out — is a brief psycho- 
 logical study of a poUtician, a man possessed of one idea and absolutely incorruptible and 
 indefatigable in pursuit of it. 
 
 The Member for Arcis {Le Depute d'Arcis) [1854]. 1898 
 
 A posthumous novel, completed by Charles Rabou. Minute and quietly faithful portraiture 
 of provincial folk, belonging to the set of studies originating in Balzac's visits to Cham- 
 pagne and the neighbouring departments. 
 
 SCENES OF MILITARY LIFE. 
 
 The Chouans {Les Chouans; ou, la Bretagne en i7gg) [1829]. 1896 
 
 An essay in the historical romance as written by Scott. Deals with the Royalist struggle in 
 Brittany in 1799, is full of historical and local colour, and adds strong personal interest 
 to the national issues involved. (Sometimes called Le Dernier Chouan ; ou, la Bretagne en 
 1800). Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 SCENES OF COUNTRY LIFE. 
 
 The Country Doctor {Le Medecin de Campagne) [1833]. 1896 
 
 A minute description of country life in the hilly region about Grenoble ; the agricultural 
 doings, the wretchedness of the peasantry, and M. Benassis' persevering attempts to ameh- 
 orate their condition, furnish a good example of Balzac's indefatigable reahsm. In this 
 practical philanthropist, the reformed sinner who becomes a pubhc benefactor, an ideal 
 figure is created, a great soul, unselfish, full of love for man, unconquerably patient. Balzac 
 said of his patient labour that it was the Gospel in action. [Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 539 
 
FRENCH FICTION 
 
 Balzac, Honore de (continued). — The Country Parson [Le Cure de Village) [1841]. 
 
 1896 
 
 In this novel the subject is very similar — country Ufe and a man's efiorts to improve the lot 
 of the peasantry. A good deal of melodramatic interest is interfused. 
 
 PHILOSOPHICAL STUDIES 
 
 ^ The Wild Ass's Skin [La Peau de Chagrin) [1831]. 1896 
 
 One of Balzac's highest flights of pure imagination, and one of his gravest commentaries on 
 human Ufe. An allegory on a miraculous piece of shagreen which gives the owner certain 
 powers of self-gratification, but is also the measure of his hfe. Balzac is essentially a 
 materiahst and a determinist. In all his studies of social hfe, he represents man as governed 
 and controlled by the circumstances of his world. At the same time, there is a mystical 
 side to his philosophy, and he feels that the fundamental viciousness of man's nature needs 
 to be restrained by the fear of retribution. [Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 Seraphita [Seraphita, 1835) [1831-5]. 1897 
 
 A mystical story inspired by Mme. Guyon and Jacob Boehme — a study of the destiny of 
 
 the soul, and of the power of unbounded faith. Louis Lambert (1832) is pecuharly 
 interesting as being founded on facts in the writer's hfe ; Louis Lambert is Balzac, 
 who actually wrote the essay. On the Will, a study of a great intellect in a feeble body, 
 and of the ravages that result, is full of semi-scientific speculation. The Exiles (Les 
 Proscrits, 1831) introduces Dante. 
 
 The Unknown Masterpiece, etc. [i 831-5]. 1896 
 
 All early works, full of power and freshness, philosophical only in that they go below the sur- 
 face of things, and evoke deeper thoughts and feeUngs. Christ in Flanders (1831) is an 
 apologue : a miracle appearing to a chance gathering of rich and poor sifts and separates 
 the simple and full of faith from the sophisticated and spiritually bhnd. Farewell (Adieu, 
 1830) gives a vivid picture of war — the retreat from Moscow — and a portrayal of a woman 
 crazed by suffering and horror, finding in animal insensibility repose from human agony. 
 El Verdugo (1831) is a harrowing episode of the French occupation of Spain : a son com- 
 pelled to be the executioner of his family ; and The Conscript {Le Requisitionnaire , 1831), a 
 touching httle drama in one act — a tragedy wrought by the Terror. In A Seaside Tragedy 
 {Un Drame au Bord de la Mer, 1834) a father justifiably kills his own son. The Red House 
 {L'Auberge Rouge, 1831) is a Gothic romance, tempered with humour ; and The Elixir of Life 
 (L'£lixir de Longue Vie, 1831), a terrifying story of a voluptuary, Don Juan Belvidero, 
 who beheves he is to have a second span of hfe given him for repentance, but is caught in 
 his own trap ; grimly ironical in its satire of human avidity. Les Marana (1832) and 
 Melmoth Reconciled {1835) are sombre httle pieces. [Christ in Flanders, and other Stories is in 
 Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 A Father's Curse, etc. {L'Enfant Maudit, 1831) [1831-9]. 1898 
 
 A grim story of a far-off age. In Gambara (compare with Cousin Pons), a mid and visionary 
 
 musical genius is studied with equal sympathy and knowledge of the art. Music is again 
 the theme in Massimila Doni (1839), a rich fantasy, played out in modem Venice, its 
 grandiose symbohsm representing the gradual dehumanizing of man's nature by excessive 
 indulgence in pleasure. Also Mattre Cornelius, 1832. 
 
 The Quest of the Absolute {La Recherche de I'Absolu) [1834]. 1896 
 
 A similar metaphysical study, but lacking the romantic interest. Subject, a modern alchemist, 
 
 who sacrifices himself and his family to his belief in the Philosopher's Stone. The home 
 and surroundings of the man, and the details of his scientific labours, are drawn with 
 characteristic minuteness, and two admirable types of womanly virtue and afiection are 
 portrayed in his wife and daughter. [Also in Everyman's Lib.] 
 
 About Catherine de' Medici [1843]. 1897 
 
 This was written before he had thought of the Comedie Humaine. A study of that powerful 
 
 individuality, the unscrupulous queen of Henry II, contemporary with the Sieur de Balzac, 
 Seigneur d'Entragues, from whom the author claimed descent. [Also in Everyman's 
 Lib.] 
 
 The Peasantry {Les Pay sans) [1855]. ^^9^ 
 
 An account, veracious and sympathetic, of the life of the peasant (Balzac had hved in a country 
 town most of his life), far from attractive in its presentation of the greed and land-hunger 
 of the better class, and of the brutality, lawlessness, and immorahty prevaihng among the 
 poorer. A wealthy count tries to establish himself on a fine estate, but arouses the hostiUty of 
 the country-side, and is eventually driven by accumulated annoyances to leave the district.

 Bernard, Charles de [Pierre Marie Charles de Bernard du Grail de la Villette ; 
 1804-50]. Gerfaut [1838]. 1893 
 
 A story of intrigue with a tragic 'ending, but different altogether from the ordinary story of 
 the kind. The author seems to adopt an ironical attitude ; his hero, a fatigued literary 
 man, is recommended by his physician to take this species of amusement as a restorative, 
 and never shows a spark of passion in his amour. 'The book gives a vivacious picture of 
 literary and artistic society, but its strength is in the presentation of character. [Transl.

 Beyle, Marie-Henri [" De Stendhal"; 1783-1842]. Red and Black: a Chronicle 
 of the Nineteenth Century (Le Rouge et le Noir) [1830]. 1898 
 
 The introspective autobiography of Juhen Sorel, an egotistic and morbid young man, his 
 struggles with adversity, his intrigues and crimes. In ground-plan resembles the old 
 picaresque novel, a rogue's adventures in different social spheres ; in method and spirit 
 the book is new and all but unique. Having constructed a character of definite attributes, 
 the author proceeds to experiment with him, observing, with the unimpassioned interest 
 of a scientist, his conduct, thoughts, and emotions in given circumstances. Juhen exposes 
 his motives frankly, good' and base, his high ideals or shabby self-seeking, the knavery of 
 his early amours, and the mixture of real passion and theatrical propensities that char- 
 acterizes his tragic intrigue with a high-born girl, and brings him to the guillotine. Beyle 
 was an idolator of Bonaparte, whose inspiration is apparent in this exposition of the creed 
 of individualism. [Transl. by E. P. Robins, 2 vols., 7s. 6d. n., Smithers : o.p. ; by 
 C. Tergie, $1.25, Brentano, New York, 1898: o.p.; 6s., Downey (a poor transl.) : o.p.] 
 
 The Chartreuse of Parma [1839]. 1901 
 
 A picture of ItaUan society, abounding in scandalous incidents dealt with in the same cold, 
 
 unimpassioned, aiialytical way. Mr. Hewlett places it at the very head of French fiction. 
 Opens with a famous narrative of the battle of Waterloo, and paints a glowing portrait of 
 the Emperor. Beyle displays clearly here his love of minor and precise documentary 
 details, and the naturalistic methods that had immense influence on novelists of half a 
 century later. [Transl. by Lady Mary Lloyd, with introd. by Maurice Hewlett, 7s. 6d., 
 Heinemann, 1901.] 
 
 DuMAS, Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie [1802-70]. The Chevalier d'Harmental 
 [1843]. 1894 
 
 Dumas' most characteristic work was the long series of novels dealing with French history, 
 in which he employed his fertile imagination and theatrical genius in revivifying episodes 
 and personages from the time of the Renaissance to near his own day. It is history 
 brilliantly romanticized rather than historical romance in the style of Scott, who pre- 
 ferred to keep eminent historical characters in his backgrounds. At the same time, 
 Dumas' iinest characters are either pure creations or obscure adventurers, hke d'Artagnan, 
 endowed with new Ufe by the great romancer. His vigour of improvization ran at such 
 a pace that he had to use the services of various hacks to embody his ideas and inven- 
 tions, and of all but a few, and these the iinest of the romances, it is difficult to say 
 which has a complete right to bear his name. This gives the inner history of the 
 Conspiracy of Cellamare (1718), in which many great nobles entered into negotiations 
 with the King of Spain to carry out the schemes of Cardinal Alberoni for changing the 
 French succession during the early years of Louis XV and the regency of Orleans. Well 
 aware of what is going on, the Regent's unscrupulous minister, the Abb6 Dubois, bides 
 his time, and at a chosen moment explodes the plot, turning the conspiracy into a farce. 
 With the exception of the hero and his love, practically all the characters are well-known 
 ■ people. The adventurer Roquefinette is often compared with Scott's Captain Dalgetty, 
 who may have suggested the character (also entitled The Conspirators), [((f) 3s. 6d. n. ;

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 Dumas, Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie (continued). — The Regent's Daughter (Une 
 
 Fille du Regent) [sequel ; 1845]. 1894 
 
 The final stages of this theatrical conspiracy (1719), its developments in Brittany, where an 
 
 active revolt took place, and the proceedings at the Court of the Regent. Some of the most 
 
 amusing scenes are those in which the life of the prisoners in the Bastille is sketched.

 Ascanio [1843]. 1895 
 
 Romance and history inextricably interwoven, the historic incident on which the story is 
 
 founded being Benvenuto CelUni's visit to Paris and the Court of Francis I (1540). The 
 titular hero is an apprentice of the Florentine artist. Many famous names appear, such as 
 the King, the Duchesse d'Etampes, the Dauphine Catherine de Medicis, Diane de Poictiers, 
 Rabelais, and Clement Marot. Scandalous chronicles and true and untrue anecdotes of 
 Parisian and Court Uf e are worked into the fabric (also entitled Francis the First ; or, The 
 Sculptor's Apprentice and the Provost's Daughter), {(d) 3s. 6d. n. ; (/) $1 n.] 
 
 Sylvandire [1843]. , 1897 
 
 An early romance that helps to fill the gap between the Vicomte de Bragelonne and the Chevalier 
 
 d' Harmental, the period represented being the close of Louis XIV's reign, during the gloomy 
 and sanctimonious years of Madame de Maintenon's ascendency, soon to be followed by 
 the hcentious gaieties of the Duke of Orleans' regency (1708—16). One of the episodes 
 of the love-story that forms the main action is the unjust imprisonment of the hero in the 
 Bastille. \_(d) 3s. 6d. n. ; (/) $1 n.] 
 
 The Count of Monte Cristo [1844]. 1894 
 
 The impressive story of a long captivity in the Chateau d'lf . The escape of Edmond Dant^s 
 
 in the guise of a corpse is one 'of the most thrilhng of romantic inventions. The rest is 
 clever melodrama — the gigantic scheme of revenge by which the Marseilles sailor, now the 
 lord of untold wealth, makes life a hell for those who had wronged him. Maquet and 
 Fiorentino were his collaborators in this romance, [(a) 2 vols., 7s. n. ; (6) i vol., 2s.

 -j The Three Musketeers [1844]. 1894 
 
 This and the two following make a cycle of romances, retailing the exploits of four heroes from 
 youth to age, and presenting a magnificent panorama of contemporary history (1626-71). 
 The feud between Richelieu and Anne of Austria bulks large, and the adventures of the 
 three guardsmen with their redoubtable and versatile Gascon comrade, d'Artagnan, are 
 intimately connected with affairs of state (1626—28). Political intrigue. Court fife, duelling 
 and fighting provide a ceaseless flow of absorbing incident. It was this book, in which 
 Dumas enjoyed the co-operation of Auguste Maquet in suggesting and planning the story, 
 that marks the real beginning of Dumas' great work as an historical romancer. The two 
 had been working together since 1839. [(a) 2 vols., 7s. n. ; (6) i vol., 2s. ($1) ; (c) 2 vols.,

 — The Vicomte de Bragelonne ; or. Ten Years Later [sequel; 1848-50]. 
 Praised by Stevenson as the greatest of all romances. The great closing scenes in the lives of 
 the four musketeers. (Period, 1660-71 ; Mazarin's ministry and the early days of the Grand 
 Monarque.) Court life, the great personages of this epoch, and state affairs are described 
 with fair accuracy, although facts and fiction are mingled. Mazarin and the King are 
 prominent, and romantic interest attaches to Mile, de la ValUdre, the tender-hearted mis- 
 tress of Louis XIV ; Madame de Montespan, Fouquet and Colbert, the great rival ministers 
 of finance, the Man in the Iron Mask, and other famous persons figure among the charac- 
 ters. Much material for this great trilogy was drawn by Duma^ from an authentic memoir 
 now translated into EngUsh : Memoirs of Monsieur D'Artagnan, Captain-Lieutenant ofthi 
 1st Company of the King's Musketeers (French edn. Cologne, 1701-2). By Gatien de Courtilz

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 Dumas, Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie {continued). — Marguerite de Valois {La 
 Reine Margot) [1845]. 1894 
 
 Begins a new historical cycle, the Valois Romances (1572-85), the period when Charles IX 
 and Henry III were kings and Catherine de Medicis was reigning. Her antagonism to 
 Henry of Navarre is a recurring motive. The chief historical event here is the massacre 
 of St. Bartholomew, which, with the murder of Cohgny, is fuUy described. Coconat, one 
 of the two heroes, took an active part in the persecution of the Huguenots. Both he and the 
 other hero, La Mole, the lover of Marguerite, Queen of Navarre, are historical, though their 
 characters and positions are suitably romanticized. The Queen is painted in very favourable 
 colours, though Henry of Navarre is the noblest character in the book, and the true hero 
 of the Valois cycle, [(o) 3s. n. ; (b) 2s. (?i) ; (i) 3s. 6d. n. ; (e) is. n. (35c. n.) ; (/) $1 n.] 
 
 La Dame de Monsoreau [sequel; 1846]. 1894 
 
 The troubles of Henry III (1578), the contending factions represented by a host of historical 
 personages, including the King, the Guises, and the Huguenots, with Henry of Navarre 
 at their head. Contains one of Dumas' finest creations, the Jester Chicot. The romantic 
 incidents revolve round Bussy d'Amboise and Diane de Meridor, wife of De Monsoreau. 
 Bussy's heroic defence against overwhelming numbers, when set upon at the instigation 
 of the Duke of Anjou, is one of the famous fights in literature. Sometimes published in 
 EngUsh as Chicot the Jester, [(d) 3s. 6d. n. ; (/) ?i n.] 
 
 The Forty-Five Guardsmen [sequel; 1847-8]. 1894 
 
 A medley of romance and tragedy; the " Forty- Five," Henry Ill's famous bodyguard, playing 
 a subordinate part to Chicot. The chief dramatic event is the vengeance of the Dame de 
 Monsoreau on the Duke of Anjou for the murder of her lover. Period, 1585. [3s. 6d. (?i) ;

 The War of Women [1846]. 1895 
 
 Deals with the later phases of the war of the Fronde ; the imprisonment of the Prince de 
 Coud6 and his relatives by Mazarin, the revolt incited at Bordeaux by his wife, and the 
 various cabals and dissensions consequent on these acts, form the historical part ; while 
 a romance of love and adventure is interwoven, and several fictitious or semi-fictitious 
 characters are introduced. Period of the regency of Anne of Austria (1650). [(d) 3s. 6d. n.; 
 (/) |i n.] 
 
 The Chevalier de Maison- Rouge [1846]. 1895 
 
 Fifth and last of the Marie- Antoinette romances, though written earUer ; deals with the last 
 act of the tragedy, the doing to death of the Dauphin and the execution of the Queen 
 (1793). Many fictitious characters, including the titular hero. Artistically an inferior 
 work, [(a) 3s. n. ; (6) 2S. ($1) ; (d) 3s. 6d. n. ; (e) is. n. (35c. n.) ; (/) $1 n.] 
 
 Agenor de Mauleon {Le Bdtard de Mauleon) [1846]. 1897 
 
 A narrative of the great wars in the fourteenth century, introducing such paladins of romance 
 as Du GuescUn, Chandos, the Black Prince, and such a monster as Pedro the Cruel of 
 Spain ; founded on a story told ■ to Froissart by the redoubtable Bastard de Mauleon ; 
 the mediaeval chronicler appears in person. Scene, chiefly Spain in 1361. [(d) 2 vols., 
 7s. u. ; (/) 2 vols., $2 n.] 
 
 Memoirs of a Physician [1846-8]. 1894 
 
 First of five Marie-Antoinette romances, covering 1770-93, the period of the decadence of the 
 monarchy, and the reigns of De Pompadour and Du Barry. This story {1770-4) of the quack 
 Balsamo, identified with the mysterious Count CagUostro, is supposed to t)e based on a 
 memoir of worse than dubious authenticity, [(a) 2 vols., 6s. n. ; (b) i vol., 2s. (?i) ;

 The Queen's Necklace [sequel; 1849-50]. 1894 
 
 An account of the scandalous affair of the Diamond Necklace in accordance with the known 
 facts, though Balsamo's connection with the intrigue is taken for granted. The period 
 (1784-5) is the beginning of the ill-fated reign of Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette makes 
 her first appearance. Only in part by Dumas, [(a) 3s. n. ; (6) 2S. (?i) ; (d) 3s. 6d. n. ;

 1895 
 
 A love-romance associated with the Haarlem tulip craze and intertwined with scenes from Dutch 
 history (1672-5), when Wilham of Orange lent himself to the agitation against the brothers 
 De Witt, the patriotic defenders of Dutch hberty. [(a) 3s. n. ; (6) 2S. {$1) ; (d) with.Tales

 Monsieur de Chauvelin's Will ; and. The Woman with the Velvet Necklace 
 
 [1851]. 1897 
 
 The first of these short romances depicts the close of Louis XV's reign, and is a terrible but 
 accurate picture of royal debauchery and debased Court Ufa. Closes with the dreadful 
 scene of the King's death by small-pox. The Marquis de Chauvehn was one of the com- 
 panions of Louis' debaucheries (1774). The second story is an episode of the Reign of 
 Terror (1793), and the famous story-teller Hoffmann is the hero. The scene of Madame 
 du Barry's death by the guillotine is historical. [_(d) 3s. 6d. n. ; {/) $1 n.] 
 
 Olympe de Cleves [1852]. 1894 
 
 A very romantic story of the early years of Louis XV (1727-9) : one of the few authentic 
 episodes is Cardinal Fleury's conspiracy to corrupt the morals of the King. The interest 
 centres in the actress Olympe de Cleves and her lover, a young novice in the Jesuit semi- 
 nary, the hfe and organization of which are very fully described, {(d) 3s. 6d. n. ; 
 (/) 2 vols., §2 n.] 
 
 Ange Pitou ; or, as it is often entitled. The Talking of the Bastille [1852]. 
 
 1894 
 A full and striking picture of Paris and Versailles in 1789; the taking of the Bastille one of 
 the most dramatic episodes. The characters include the royal family, the courtiers and 
 ministers, the revolutionary leaders, members of the National Assembly, and a host of 
 obscure agitators and loyaUsts, and the multitudinous forces which were agitating the 
 French world are well illustrated. Breaks off with the invasion of Versailles, [(d) 2 vols., 
 7s. n. ; (/) 2 vols., §2 n.] 
 
 La Comtesse de Charny [1853-5]. 1894 
 
 Avowedly history, not romance. The flight of the King and Queen to Varennes, the proceedings 
 
 of the various Assembhes, the march of the Marseillais to Paris, the massacres of the 
 Terror, the Prussian war, and the battle of Valmy, and finally the execution of Louis XVI, 
 are the principal events (1792). The characters embrace a legion of historic names. The 
 Count and Countess de Charny, faithful adherents of the royal family, assist at the Varennes 
 incident, and throughout the story display heroic devotion. For the end of the series 
 see p. 543, The Chevalier de Maison-Rouge. [(a) 3s. n. ; (6) 2s. ($1) ; (d) 3 vols., los. 6d. n. ;

 The Companions of Jehu [1857]. 1895 
 
 A romance with innumerable historic incidents interwoven which serves as a sequel to The 
 Whites and the Blues. Chiefly concerned with the Royalist insurrections in La Vendee and 
 Brittany, and the exploits of Georges Cadoudal. The heroine's lover, leader of the Royahst 
 Companions of Jehu, is guillotined, partly through the agency of her brother, one of 
 Napoleon's aides-de-camp. Period 1799-1800. Also entitled Roland Montrevel (i860).

 The She- Wolves of Machecoul [1859] '< ^-i^d, The Corsican Brothers [1845]. 
 
 1895 
 The first, otherwise entitled La Vendie, deals with the Duchesse de Berri's attempt to stir up 
 an insurrection in that province in 1832. The two girls nicknamed the " She- Wolves " 
 are among Dumas' most attractive creations, and the story of their love is touching. It 
 is in this book that Dumas lifted an entire episode from Scott's Rob Roy. The Corsican 
 Brothers (1844) is a melodramatic tale of occult sympathy between twin brothers, [(d)

 The Whites and the Blues [1867-8]. 1895 
 
 Carries on the annals of the Revolution to the Directory and the rise of Bonaparte (1793-9). 
 The early portion. The Prussians on the Rhine, is based on the personal experiences of 
 Dumas' friend, Charles Nodier. Then come the great episode of the rising of Thirteenth 
 Vend^miaire, the street fighting that brought Bonaparte to the front, the Directory, and 
 finally the coup d'Hat of Eighteenth Fructidor. Appended is a narrative of the luckless 
 expedition to Egypt, The Eighth Crusade, [(d) 2 vols., 7s. n. ; (/) 2 vols., $2 n.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 Dumas, Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie {continued}. — The Two Dianas [1846-7]. 
 
 1894 
 Said to be entirely the work of Paul Meurice. Goes back to the time of Francis I and his short- 
 lived successor Henry II (1521-74) . Catherine de M^dicis, Mary of Scotland, and the heads 
 of the Cathohc and Huguenot factions are among the historical personages. The pathetic 
 encounter of the Huguenot Renaudie with his old bosom friend Pardaillan, and the story 
 of the defence of St. Queutin and the tumult of Amboise, are splendid pieces of romance,

 The Page of the Duke of Savoy [1855]. 1894 
 
 The period is almost identical with the previous, viz. 1528-80, and many characters reappear, 
 among them the adventurers who stormed the old fort of Calais ; but the troupe of soldiers 
 of fortune, among them the diverting Procope, are new. Phihbert, Duke of Savoy, is 
 the central personage. It was a period that witnessed the abdication of the Emperor 
 Charles V, the accession of Phihp II, the struggle for supremacy between the Queen- 
 mother Catherine de M6dicis and the Guises, and the growth of the Reformation, [(a)

 Dumas, Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie, flls [1824-95]. The Lady with the 
 
 Camelias [1848]. 1902 
 
 The pathetic story of a courtesan, who conceives a pute passion ; founded on a true story, 
 
 and obviously patterned after Manon Lescaut. The subject is treated with all the dehcacy 
 
 possible, where the vices and follies of a great city are to be described realistically. [Transl., 
 
 with critical introduction by Edmund GossE, 7s. 6d., Heinemann, 1902.] 
 
 Gay, Marie Fran9oise Sophie [nee de la Valette ; 1776-1852]. Marie de Mancini

 A novel of the time of Mazarin, Anne of Austria, Cond6, etc. Madame Gay's best novels were 
 Lionie de Montbreuse (1813) and Anatole (1815). [6s., Lawrence & Bullen : o.p.] 
 
 Hugo, Victor [1802-85]. Han of Iceland [1823]. 1825 
 
 A sensational tale of Iceland, having an allegorical bearing on the circumstances of Hugo's 
 life at the time. The love-story is inspired by his passion for his future wife ; the monster 
 Han symbohzes the obstacle to his marriage. A " wild and whirhng romance of an im- 
 possible Iceland." [Transl. 1825 : o.p. ; 2 vols., 5s. n.. Bent ; $1 n.. Little & Brown, 
 Boston; sub tit. The Outlaw of Iceland, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Under Sentence of Death ; or. Last Day of a Condemned Criminal [Le 
 
 Dernier Jour d'un Condamne) [1826-34]. 1900 
 
 The title-story (1829) is a realistic account of the thoughts and sensations of a condemned 
 man about to die : a plea for the abolition of capital punishment. Told Under Canvas 
 {Bug-Jargal, 1826) is an episode of the negro rebelhon against the whites in Hayti early 
 in the nineteenth century. Claude Gueux (1834) is a story founded on fact, though 
 Claude is altered from a scoundrel into a hero. More special pleading against capital 
 punishment (a prisoner in a fit of pardonable passion has killed his gaoler). [Transl.

 Notre Dame de Paris [1830]. 1899 
 
 Hugo afterwards incorporated this into a trilogy with Les Misirables and Toilers of the Sea, 
 
 as one of the great manifestations of the Fate or Ananke with which man is at odds. This 
 hidden force is symbohzed by the superhuman grandeur and multitudinous imageries of 
 the cathedral. The first part of the book is a panorama of mediaeval hfe — religious, civic,

 popular, and criminal — drawn with immense learning and an amazing command of 
 spectacular effect. Then these elements are set in motion in a fantastic and grandiose 
 drama, of which the personages are poetic sublimations of human virtues and passions — 
 Quasimodo, the hunchback, faithful unto death ; Esmeralda, an incarnation of inn6cence 
 and steadfastness ; Claude FroUo, a Faust-like type of the antagonism between reHgion 
 and appetite. Splendours and absurdities, the sublime and the grotesque are inextric- 
 ably mingled in this strange romance. The date is fixed at the year 1482. [Transl. with

 Hugo, Victor (continued). — Les Miserables [1862]. 1900 
 
 A still vaster panorama of French Ufe in the first half of the century, aiming to exhibit the 
 fabric of civilization in all its details, and to reveal the cruelty of its pressure on the poor, 
 the outcast, and the criminal. Jean Valjean, a man intrinsically noble, through the tyranny 
 of society becomes a criminal. His conscience is reawakened by the ministrations of the 
 saintly Bishop Myriel (said to be portrayed from Bishop Miolhs of Digne) ; and Valjean, 
 reformed and prosperous, follows in the good Bishop's footsteps as an apostle of benevol- 
 ence, only to be doomed again by the law to slavery and shame. The demi-mondaine 
 Fantine, another victim of society ; her daughter Cosette, one of those whom suffering 
 makes sublime ; Marius, an ideal of youth and love ; Myriel, the incarnation of Christian 
 charity, are the leading characters of this huge moraUty, which is thronged with representa- 
 tives of the good in man and the cruelty of society. Magnificent descriptions that leave a 
 hfelong impression on the reader, scenes invested with terror, awe, repulsion, alternate 
 with tedious rhapsodies. Realism mingles with the incredible. It is " rather the chaos of 
 a prose epic than a novel." [Transl. by J. C. Beckwith and others, 10 vols., 25s. n.. Dent ;

 Toilers of the Sea (Les Travaitleurs de la Mer) [1866]. 1866 
 
 A prose-poem of the sea, representing the eternal conflict of the elemental powers of nature 
 against the will of man. Jersey and the neighbouring seas are the theatre of the struggle, 
 and the life of the mariner, the flora and fauna of the ocean and its isles, the infinite 
 aspects of the sea in storm and calm, are depicted with a characteristic mixture of minute 
 realism and rhapsodical eloquence. The interest is focussed on Gilliatt's superhuman 
 combat with the waves, out of which he issues triumphant, only to be worsted in the 
 hour of victory by a woman's caprice. Nature is personified as a Uving antagonist, the 
 forces of nature are arrayed as a mighty army, and the battle of the man and the tempest 
 is one of the most enthralling scenes in hterature. [Transl. by W. Moy Thomas, 1866 : o.p. ;

 By Order of the King ; or, The Man Who Laughs (L'Homme qui Rit) [1869]. 
 
 1901 
 
 An extraordinary fantasy giving a burlesque picture of EngUsh Ufe and institutions at the time 
 of the Stuarts, and satirizing princes, lords, bishops, and popular servility. The love of 
 the mutilated heir of Clancharhe for the bhnd Dea, the only one who recognizes Ms beauti- 
 ful nature, is a pure and tender idyll. Sheer sensation and subhmity, grotesque comedy 
 and utter tragedy alternate in this strange work. [4 vols., los. n.. Dent ; " Notre Dame

 Ninety-Three (Quatre-vingt-Treize) [1873]. 1900 
 
 A grandiose, rhetoricafl romance of the Revolution, which hurtles across the stage like an 
 earth-shaking act in the Drama of Destiny, the incidents centring in a Breton district, 
 where the Royalists attempt an insurrection, and culminating in the siege and destruction 
 in blood and fire of a Chouan stronghold. As in the foregoing, everything is placed in its 
 elemental relations. The powerful, titanic figures are abstractions, representatives of 
 humanity in the mass, or rather of a particular epoch in human progress — ^history itself, 
 or the destiny of nations, is, as it were, one of the personages of the drama. The scenes 
 of strife and carnage, the episodes of panic and suspense, are done with a terrific strength 
 and actuality, even though errors of observation are frequent. [Transl. by Jules Gray,

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER 
 
 Merimee, Prosper [1803-70]. Chronicle of the Reign of Charles IX [1829]. , 1889 
 An historical romance of the reign of Charles IX and the eve of St. Bartholomew (1550-74), 
 in which Merimee draws on his rich stores of historical and antiquarian Icnowledge, pre- 
 senting an animated picture of the life of the epoch. The Huguenot hero is an engaging 
 figure, typical of his age ; the characters are nearly all fictitious. [Transl. by Geo. 
 Saintsbury, 2 vols., 35s., Nimmo : o.p.] 
 
 The Abbe Aubain ; and, Mosaics [1829-37]. 1903 
 
 A selection comprising some of Merim^e's choicest work in his own pecuUar field, the short 
 story, e.g. Etruscan Vase, Lokis, Venus of Ille, The Blue Chamber, Djoumane, Mateo 
 Falcone, Tamango, and How we Stormed the Fort, polished gems of objective imagination, 
 psychical fancy, sardonic comedy, and realism that is sufficient unto itself. No writer 
 has surpassed Merimee in this particular kind of art. [Transl. by Emily Mary Walter,

 Colomba: a Corsican Story [1830]. 1853 
 
 A little drama of Corsican hfe, into which is precipitated the sense of beauty and strangeness 
 that seems to belong to this land, where assassination is still a recognized means of settHng 
 differences. Colomba is a young Corsican in whom the vendetta spirit is incarnate, while 
 her brother, who ought to avenge his father's death, is Parisianized and emancipated 
 from ancestral barbarism. The touches of local colour, the outhned under-characters,

 Carmen [1847]. ,_ 1887 
 
 The tale so well known from Bizet's opera, which is founded on it. Very brief ; the story of 
 a Spanish gipsy, in whose nature are concentrated the primitive instincts of the savage, 
 chief among them a passion for freedom. The tale is pure romance, the method calmly 
 reaUstic, and it is a masterpiece of pure objective art. The cities and scenery of Spain add 
 to its picturesque qualities, [is., Routledge (75c., Dutton, New York) ; by E. H. Garrett,

 MuRGER, Henri [1822-61]. Bohemians of the Latin Quarter {Scenes de la Vie de 
 Boheme) [1851]. 1895 
 
 A rambling novel composed chiefly of detached scenes of hfe among the struggling authors, 
 students, and grisettes who were the associates of Murger's early days, all of them depicted 
 with a most infectious humour and deHght in good fellowship. Most of the anecdotes 
 and of the happy band of comrades are, doubtless, historical ; we know, at any 
 rate, that the hospital scene is true. The two grisettes, Mimi and Musette, in the love 
 episodes, are both touching figures of a time that has completely vanished. [Transl., sub

 York.] 
 
 MussET, Alfred de [1810-57]. Confessions of a Child of the Century [1836]. 1892 
 
 A semi-autobiographical expression of Musset's sense of disgust and disillusionment after the 
 Byronic eruptions of his early career. The hero has been aroused from a course of de- 
 bauchery by his father's death, and he falls in love. Libertinism has made him a cynic 
 and a sceptic, incapable of a pure attachment ; his love degenerates into fits of passion 
 and jealousy, which beckon him on to murder and suicide. Finding happiness out of reach, 
 he bids his mistress farewell. His experiences with George Sand on the famous sojourn 
 in Italy inspire his disgusted portraiture of woman. (Among untranslated pieces may be 
 mentioned Contes et Nouvelles : these are far superior in art and interest to his longer essay 
 in fiction, e.g. Le Fits de Titien, Pierre et Camille, Fridiric et Bernerette, and Mimi Pinson, 
 tender, natural, and fanciful creations of a poetic mind. [Transl. by K. Warren, Si. 25,

 Saintine, Xavier-Boniface. [1797-1865]. Picciola ; or. The Prisoner of Fenestrella 
 [1836]. 1875 
 
 The famous sentimental story of the Comte de Charny, a pohtical prisoner, who solaced his 
 captivity and saved himself from despair and madness by the cult of a tiny plant that 
 sprang up between the paving-stones of the prison ; time, the earher Napoleonic era.

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 " Sand, George " [Armandine Aurore Lucile Dupin, " Baronne " Dudevant; 1804-76]. 
 Indiana [1832]. 1850 
 
 Inspired by Paul and Virginia ; another manifesto of the gospel of Nature, and the rebellion 
 against a false and impure social scheme. Indiana is a Creole brought up in the wilds of 
 the He de France — an incarnation of purity and capacity for exalted love. Escaping 
 from a vulgar Lothario, she finds her destiny in a rather mysterious cousin, who has loved 
 her dumbly and hopelessly from her childhood. [$1.75, Peterson, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Valentine [1832]. 
 
 Like Indiana, a transcript of her own sentimental experiences, her rupture with M. Dudevant 
 (portrayed as the husband in the novel), and her relations with Jules Sandeau. Poor and 
 inchoate as a story, but rich in descriptive passages and the fervid expression of feeling. 
 
 Lelia [1833]. 
 
 Half a story of real Mf e, half allegory, in which the characters represent certain moral and social 
 tendencies and are chiefly interesting as the expression of the author's moods at a period 
 of doubt and despondency. The style is semi-lyrical, rising at times into flights of poetry. 
 An appreciative critic calls it, " This poem, so strange, incoherent, magnificent and ab- 
 surd." As the aggressive expression of the authoress's early doubts it aroused keen 
 hostility. 
 
 Jacques [1834]. 1847 
 
 An impassioned eulogy of individualism and a hot renunciation of the trammels and false- 
 hoods of philistine society. The Byronic Jacques, acting on his principle of absolute 
 freedom, lets his wife go off with her lover. The style is semi-lyrical, admirably fitted for 
 the expression of reverie and emotion. George Sand had come back from her Cytherean 
 journey to Italy with De Musset, and this is the first proclamation of her gospel of free 
 love. [Harper, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Mauprat [1837]. 1847 
 
 A story of aristocrats in the provinces in the latter half of the eighteenth century. A refined 
 girl married to a boorish cousin appUes herself to the task of civilizing him, and succeeds 
 in making him an estimable man by drawing out his better feelings. The situation is 
 handled in a forcible way, and the book is full of ideas on hfe. [Transl. by Miss 
 Hayes, 1847: o.p. With introd. by Mrs. Craigie, 7s. 6d.,Heinemann, 1902; 2s.,Weldon;

 The Last Aldini [1838]. 1847 
 
 The hero, Nello, a gondoUer, wins the love of a countess, but sacrifices his love to her worldly 
 welfare ; and when he has achieved success as an opera-singer, he fascinates her daughter, 
 once more magnanimously retiring. [Transl., sub tit. The Last of the Aldinis, by Miss

 Tlie Master IVTosaic Workers [Les Mattres Mosatstes) [1838]. 1847 
 
 Her first SociaBst novel. A picture of Venetian Hfe in the palmy days of the Republic {time of 
 Tintoretto) , the interest centring in two master mosaists and their work. ["Transl. by Miss 
 Hayes, 1847: o.p.; transl. by C. C. Johnston, 3s. n.. Dent; with The Devil's Pool,

 The Journeyman Joiner ; or, The Companion of the Tour of France {La Ccm- 
 
 pagnon du Tour de France [1840]. 1847 
 
 Another humanitarian novel, preaching universal fraternity and the fusion of classes. The 
 hero is an artisan, an ideal man of the people, devoting himself to the amelioration of his 
 fellows ; the title refers to his membership of a trade union. The book is also a novel of 
 passion, the hero's pure love being contrasted with the sensual passion of a lower nature.

 nature of the peasant children's friendships, the growth of love in a young girl's heart, 
 
 and the transforming effect upon her character. [Transl., 1849: o.p.; transl. by Jane

NINETEENTH CENTURY, SECOND QUARTER . 
 
 "SAi^D, George" (continued). — Consuelo [1842-3]. 1847 
 
 The Countess of Rudolstadt [sequel; 1843-5]. 1851 
 
 Consuelo is George Sand's Wilhelm Meister, and with the sequel gives the life-story of a great 
 singer who was also a woman of the noblest character. The tone of the entire history is 
 romantic, the second part, especially, closing with an allegorical vision of humanitarian 
 theosophy. Consuelo is introduced as a child of the streets in Venice, where her high 
 artistic gifts bring her to the notice of a fine old maestro. Her career takes her to Bohemia, 
 Vienna, Berhn ; and among the personages she meets are the Empress Maria Theresa, 
 Haydn, Metastasio, Frederick the Great. The life of the time (1740-86) is portrayed on a 
 broad canvas, and in addition to innumerable incidents which are both dramatic and 
 credible, the author gives enough adventure, mystery, fantastic journeying, imprisonments, 
 abductions, escapes, to furnish out half a dozen sensation novels. [Transl. (i) 2S., Weldon, 
 1876: o.p., 2s., W. Scott, 1894; (2) 2S., Weldon, 1877: o.p., 2S., W. Scott, 1894.] 
 
 The Miller of Angibault [1845-6]. 1847 
 
 The best of several novels preaching a kind of sentimental SociaUsm. A democratic artisan 
 and a baroness are in love, but the advocate of social equality will not marry the lady 
 because she is rich. Later on misfortune overtakes the baroness, and she welcomes 
 what will remove the obstacle to their union. [Transl. by Miss Hayes, 1847 : o.p. ; 2s., 
 Weldon, 1878; transl. by Dewey, $i u.. Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 The Devil's Pool [La Mare au Diable) [1846]. 1895 
 
 Perhaps the simplest and freshest of the Berrichon idylls, quiet, harmonious, and, above 
 all, accurately truthful pictures of nature and country life, which mark intervals of 
 repose between her tales of passion and the political and psychological novels. Merely 
 the narrative of a rustic courtship, with four characters — a young farmer, an innocent httle 
 shepherdess, a child, and a mare. She had already written a pastoral in the same genre, 
 Jeanne (1844), and there is a later one, Les Maltres Sonneurs (1853), of which no transla- 
 tion seems to be available. All are charming in their tender picturing of placid, homely 
 life and of the quiet beauties of nature in the country. [Transl. by Jane M. Sedgwick, 
 3s. n.. Dent.] 
 
 The Sin of M. Antoine [1847]. 
 
 A doctrinaire novel; theme, marriage and divorce. A magnanimous husband sets free his 
 wife, who loves another man. The novel takes up the situation years after, and by the 
 mediation of an innocent girl, the other man's daughter brings about a reconciUa- 
 tion and friendship between the first husband and the second. [$1.75, Peterson, 
 Philadelphia.] 
 
 Francis the Waif [1850]. 1895 
 
 Third of the Berrichon idylls, staged as a pastoral comedy in 1849. The story, simple as ever, 
 telling with an art that seems artless how the'friendship of Francis and the good Madelon 
 grew into a sweeter affection. [Transl. by J. M. Sedgwick, 3s. n.. Dent ; $1 n.. Little 
 & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 The Snow Man (L'Homme de Neige) [1859]. 1871 
 
 A picturesque and very romantic tale of Swedish life in the eighteenth century, with striking 
 descriptions of sport, hunting, and winter scenery. In the dramatic opening a great 
 entertainment is being held in the castle of a powerful baron, and a player of marionettes 
 makes his appearance, who is really the rightful heir. This is the key to the plot. [Transl. 
 by V. Vaughan, ?i n.. Little & Brown, Boston.]

 [|i, Burt, New York.] 
 
 Sandeau, Leonard Sylvain Jules [" Julien Sandeau " ; 1811-83]. Catherine : a 
 Village Tale [1845]. i860 
 
 An idyUic picture of Ufe in a sequestered village, atmosphere and characters recalling the 
 Vicar of Wakefield. Catherine, " the Uttle virgin," daughter of a poor cur6, is loved by a 
 homely farmer and by a young viscount. The latter is weak and vacillating, and his

 friends oppose the match, so Catherine renounces him and marries the countryman. 
 But her husband's magnanimity is still greater, for, believing his wife to be heart-sick, 
 he goes away, leaving her in affluence, and comes back only when he has won her affection.

 Sandeau, Leonard Silvain Jules [continued). — Mademoiselle de la Seigliere [1848]. 
 
 Contrasts the old-fashioned noblesse (the Marquis de la Seighdre) and the nineteenth-century 
 bourgeois (Bernard Stamply), who loves H^lene de la Seighere. Dramatized afterwards 
 by himself with a totally different denouement. 
 
 Madeleine [1848]. 1850 
 
 Another ideaUzed picture of hfe. Madeleine's cousin is a young roue, whom despair and 
 remorse are driving to suicide when Madeleine undertakes his reform. Dramatized 
 by Couaillhac and Bourdain (1850), and successfully acted in Paris. [Transl. with an 
 analytical review of the author by G. Planch£, Slater : o.p.; transl., $1, McClurg, Chicago.] 
 
 The House of Penarvan [1858]. 1878 
 
 A quiet delineation of the life of the old noblesse. The heroine, a beautiful patrician, exces- 
 sively proud of her ancient house, of which she writes a history. Urged by pride of race 
 rather than love, she marries the only other representative of the family, sacrifices him 
 to the reactionary attempts of the Chouans, casts off her daughter for marrying a bourgeois, 
 and is at length won back to human kindness by her grandchild. [From the French by 
 Lady G. Fullerton : o.p.]

 "Stendhal": v. Beyle, Marie H. 
 
 Sue, Marie Joseph Eugene [1804-59]. The Mysteries of Paris [1842-3]. 1845 
 
 A startUng and incredible melodrama, professing to be a realistic picture of the Parisian 
 underworld, the slaves of poverty and vice, swindlers, robbers, murderers. The central 
 figure is a wealthy German prince who has ordained himself as a grand justiciar of society, 
 to succour the unfortunate, remedy iniquities, and avenge guilt. His courage and physique 
 bring him safely through scores of perilous encounters in his investigations amongst the 
 haunts of crime, where he meets with a crowd of ruffians and outlaws, some, such as " The 
 Schoolmaster " and his partner " La Chouette," among the most hideous creations of 
 fiction. From this tragic company he rescues a poor, abandoned girl, whom he discovers 
 to be his kidnapped child. [3s. 6d., 2S., is., Routledge ; 2 vols., $2, Burt, New York ; 
 2 vols., $2.50, Caldwell, Boston.] 
 
 The Wandering Jew [1844-5]. 1845 
 
 A romance on the semi-supernatural theme of tradition, compounded of the same realistic 
 and sensational ingredients, powerful in its command of terror. [3s. 6d., 2S., is., Rout- 
 ledge ; 2 vols., $2.50, $1.25, Crowell, New York; 2 vols., $2.50, Caldwell, Boston, 
 1899.] 
 
 ViGNY, Alfred Victor, Comte de [i 797-1863]. Cinq-Mars; or, The Conspiracy [Cinq 
 Mars ; ou, une Conjuration sous Louis XIII) [1826]. 1847 
 
 A romance in Scott's style, giving a free account (though the accuracy is attested by footnotes) 
 of the famous conspiracy against Cardinal RicheUeu in the reign of Louis XIII (1642). 
 Cinq-Mars was the leader in it. " According to Vigny, the noveUst is a poet, a moralist, a 
 philosopher, and history only lends him material. Beyond the positive reality, there 
 is an ideal fact" (G. Pellissier). [2s., Routledge: o.p.; transl. by Wm. Hazlitt,

 NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER— 1851-75 
 
 About, Edmond Fran9ois Valentin [1828-85]. ToUa [1855]. 1855 
 
 A summary of the problems of modern Italy, and a satire on the proud and poverty-stricken 
 nobility living in their gloomy palaces ; and depicting with more sympathy the picturesque 
 Ufe of the humbler classes, and the beautiful scenes of nature and art. About was accused 
 of using an earHer novel, Vittoria Savelli as material for ToUa. [2s., Hamilton: o.p. ; 
 IOC, Munro, New York.] 
 
 The King of the Mountains [1856]. 1899 
 
 An extravagant picture of Greek brigandage. Hadji Stavros holds the Government, the army, 
 and the gendarmes in terror, and makes robbery a safe and dignified, as well as a lucrative 
 profession. Gallic wit and irony season in the most piquant manner a story brimful of 
 entertaining incident. [Transl. by Richard Davie, is. 6d. n., Heinemann ; by Mrs.

 Madelon [1863]. 
 
 A courtesan ruins a pack of wealthy victims, marries an elderly millionaire, and puts in motion 
 a series of big schemes for making money, which result in the bankruptcy of a town. 
 In the last chapter she finds herself in a position to ruin a German principality. A satire 
 on the corrupt institutions and unhealthy society of France under Louis PhiUppe. [o.p.] 
 
 Trente at Quarante [1865]. 1899 
 
 Farcical in plot, turning on an Italian exile's love for a girl, whose father, a captain in the 
 Grand Army, frowns on the match. A critical incident is the captain's unintentional 
 exploit of breaking the bank at Baden. [Transl. by Lord Newton, 3s. 6d., Arnold.] 
 
 The Fellah {Le Fellah: Souvenirs d' Egypte) [1869]. ' 1870

 BuNGENER, Louis FeHx [1814-74]. The Preacher and the King ; or, Bourdaloue in 
 the Court of Louis XIV {Un Sermon sous Louis XIV) [1845]. 1853 
 
 One of several religious stories of Louis XIV's reign (1642-1715), written by a Protestant 
 historian of German origin to support his party. [Transl. with introd. by G. Potts, 
 Nelson, 1853 : o.p. ; 75c., Lothrop, Boston.] 
 
 Cherbuliez, Charles Victor [1829-99]. Count Kostia.(LeComteKosiia) [1863]. 1873 
 
 CherbuHez may be ranked, in a rough-and-ready way, with our Henry Seton Merriman. This 
 striking melodrama, in which the heroine masquerades as a boy, and fraternizes with the 
 young man who is to be her lover, is a fair example of his brilhant and inventive fiction, 
 with its Uvely dialogue, punctuated with epigram. The lady's father, the Count Kostia, 
 is a moody and tyrannical Russian Uving in a castle on the Rhine. How his doubts as to 
 his daughter's legitimacy are set at rest, and how the love affair is to end happily, are the 
 business of the plot. ["Transl. by Ashley, $1.25, Holt, New York : o.p.] 
 
 The Romance of an Honest Woman {Le Roman d'une Honnete Femme) [1867]. 
 
 1874 
 
 A high-spirited woman, married to a coxcomb, rebels against his assumed superiority of sex. 
 While he coquets with another woman, she plays the same game with such adroitness that 
 at length he is brought to reason. The character of the heroine, brought up in seclusion, 
 her honesty and dignity, and intellectual keenness tempered by extreme ignorance of 
 the world, make an interesting study. The charms of country life in Dauphin^ are the 
 burden of many descriptive pages. [Transl., I1.50, Gill, Boston : o.p.] 
 
 Prosper Randoce [1868]. 
 
 Prosper Randoce is a typical product of his day, a Uterary man of cold disposition, who is 
 for ever simulating deep emotion and enthusiasm. His weaknesses are aptly accentuated 
 by his juxtaposition with a man of exactly opposite disposition, a confirmed sceptic, 
 thoroughly amiable and kind-hearted. [Transl. by C. Benson, $1.25, Holt, New York:

 The scene is Geneva, where the heroine appears as the joy of her parents' household, 
 and in the troubles of her married hfe and the tragic closing scene bears herself courage- 
 ously and with abnegation of self. In the catastrophe. Marguerite, wronged by her

 The Blue-Eyed Meta Holdenis (Meta Holdenis) [1873]. 1881 
 
 Meta is a fascinating adventuress, but so impetuous that through sheer imprudence she fails 
 to secure either of her lovers. Next to Meta, Tony the painter stands out conspicuous, 
 a mixture of impulsiveness and worldly wisdom; and the tale of his two love affairs 
 with the German siren illustrates capitally CherbuHez's art in developing a plot out of the 
 natural play of character, [is., Vizetelly : o.p. ; 6d., Maclaren, Edinburgh, 1904 ; 25c.,

 An international novel roughly handUng EngHsh eccentricities, scene Geneva again. An un- 
 tamed English girl becomes intimately acquainted with a retiring scholar, who, having been 
 disappointed in love, is a confirmed misogynist. The novelist brings about some piquant 
 situations in arranging a match between the pair. [Transl. by Shaw, $1.25, Estes, Boston :

 a clever and unscrupulous rascal, personates a deceased Polish count with amazing success, 
 and nearly manages to carry off an heiress, [is., Vizetelly ; ?i, Dodd & Mead, New York :

 Jean Teterol's Idea (L'Idee de Jean Teterol) [1878]. 1878 
 
 A peasant, afironted by a haughty aristocrat, goes away and makes a colossal fortune, and, 
 on returning to his native village, finding his enemy dead, manages by financial strategy 
 to get the son into his power. The price of redemption is that the baron's daughter shall 
 marry the parvenu's son, but the latter revolts from such a bargain, and, renouncing the 
 authority of his father, goes off to earn his own hving. The result of this magnanimous 
 course of action is a love-match. [$i, Burt, New York, 1906.] 
 
 The Tutor's Secret (Le Secret du Precefteur) [1893]. 1893 
 
 The scholarly young tutor of two attractive girls, handicapped as a lover by his position, tells 
 his own tale, of which the termination is not a prosperous one for him. [Transl. by R. 
 Derecheff, 6s., Arnold : o.p.] 
 
 The following have not been translated : L' Aventure de Ladislas Bolski, a character-study 
 on Cherbuliez's favourite hues — determinist if not avowedly fatalistic. Ladislas is a Pole, 
 the son of a traitor, chivalrous, ardent, unstable, who puts himself to the test by a year 
 of probation, serving the revolutionary committee at Paris, and succumbs to his own 
 fundamental weakness. La Ferme du Choquard, agricultural people delineated in a way

 A cosmopohtan novel, showing wide knowledge of the world, and comprising scenes of domestic 
 
 hfe in Germany, of conventual and aristocratic hfe in Italy, and of the Court of Peters-

 and womanly heroine stands out as a conception worthy of the best traditions of the old 
 
 French nobility. Mrs. Craven is best known as the author of the Ricit d'une Sceur, an 
 
 intimate record of her family Ufe. [Transl. by E. Bowles, 2 vols., 21s., Smith & Elder:

 Annals of the French campaigns of 1812-13 — quaintly and charmingly put in the simple 
 language of a peasant — designed to expose the wickedness of war. The Conscript is an 
 unfortunate peasant, half a cripple, whose love affairs and prospfects in life are ruined by 
 the call to arms. At Phalsbourg he witnesses the passage of the Grande Armie, and then 
 is involved in the campaigns culminating at Leipzig. [Transl. , The Conscript and Waterloo

 The invasion of France by the AlUes in 1814, and the siege of Phalsbourg, in the Vosges. An 
 old Jew lays in a supply of wine with a view to profiting by the scarcity : the fate of this 
 wine occasions great suspense. During the siege, which ends with Napoleon's abdication, 
 the old huckster and his family drive a thriving trade. Much play of comic eccentricity

 while the Jew's moraHzings on war are full of humour, [is.. Ward &Lock ; $1.25, Scribner, 
 New York.] 
 
 The Story of a Peasant (Histoire d'un Paysan) [1868-74]. [juvenile] 1871-4 
 
 4 vols.: The States-General, 1789 ,■ The Country in Danger, 1792; Year One of the Republic, 
 1793 ; and Citizen Bonaparte, 1794-1815. A continuous story of the Revolutionary 
 period, from a peasant's point of view. First a picture of pre-revolutionary days, showing 
 the hardships of the peasants under the monarchy ; then comes the awakening to their 
 rights as citizens, and the great episodes of the Revolution and the wars. A domestic 
 story is interwoven with the historical events. [Vols. (3), (4) ea. is.. Ward & Lock.] 
 
 The Story of the Plebiscite (Histoire du Plebiscite; racontee par un des 
 
 7,500,000 out) [1872]. [juvenile] 1872 
 
 An intelligent tradesman describes the poKtical condition of France just before the dibdcle 
 
 of 1870-1, the unreadiness of the miUtary authorities, and the rottenness of the imperial 
 
 rigime ; with a vivid picture of life in a Vosges village, the local incidents of the war, and 
 
 the troubles of the country people. [2s. 6d., Smith & Elder ; 51.25, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Brothers Rantzau (Les deux Freres) [1873]. 1874 
 
 A story told by a schoolmaster, a self-taught naturaHst, who has a knack for describing land- 
 scapes as well as human nature, about two brothers, in a httle village of the Vosges, 
 who quarrel over an inheritance, and carry the feud to bitter extremes. In the course of 
 years their two children fall in love with each other and marry, yet their hatred never 
 relaxes. A plea for national education. [2s. 6d., Low : o.p.]

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 Feuillet, Octave [1821-90]. The Little Countess {La Petite Comtesse) [1857]. 1881 
 Feuillet is the novelist of aristocratic society in France. A pathetic tale with a bitter denoue- 
 ment ; how a dry, staid man of letters and a gay young countess are drawn towards each 
 other by genuine love, in spite of first impressions ; but the prej udices of the fast society 
 which is her sphere cause misunderstanding, with tragic results, [is., Vizetelly : o.p.] 
 
 The Romance of a Poor Young Man [Le Roman d'un jeune homme pauvre) 
 
 [1858]. 1908 
 
 An idealized portrait of the old nobihty ; one of those gay, idyllic romances in which every- 
 thing comes right — Mr. Harland justly calls it a fairy-tale. The poor young man is a 
 marquis who has been left penniless by a spendthrift father, and has to become a land 
 steward in order to earn his Uving, or else adopt methods that he does not approve. His 
 decision to accept honest work as his duty leads to a romance which has many ups and 
 downs, but leaves him married to the girl he loves, [is. 6d., Hutchinson ; with critical 
 introd. by H. Harland, 7s. 6d., Heinemann.] Between this novel and Un Manage dans 
 le Monde appeared the foUovring: Sibylle (1862), Monsieur de Camors (1867), and Julia 
 de Tricceur (1872), the pathetic story of a woman's disastrous love for her stepfather, 
 and the conflict between passion and duty. Le Journal d'une Femme followed in 1878. 
 Translations do not appear to be available. Both M. de Camors and Julia de Tricceur 
 are masterpieces in their genre, comprising much of Feuillet's most accompUshed por- 
 traiture. Of the latter it has been admirably said, " Ce roman contient tout Feuillet." 
 
 A Marriage in High Life (Un Manage dans le Monde) [1875]. 1886 
 
 A characteristic study of woman and marriage, the author having httle faith in the strength 
 
 of woman under temptation. The parties to this marriage fail to agree ; the wife is drawn 
 into the fast hfe of Parisian Society, and the husband lets her go her own way ; but a 
 friend intervenes and saves her. [2s. 6d., Maxwell: o.p. ; transl. by C. Logan, ?i.50. 
 Porter & Coates, Philadelphia.] 
 
 Aliette {La Morte) [1886]. 1886 
 
 Told in letters by a bereaved husband. A man of culture, an unbeUever, after considerable 
 
 opposition marries the daughter of a pious family. The girl has one ambition — to convert 
 her husband. Another woman, who is an agnostic, falls in love with him. The wife dies, 
 the husband marries this woman, and then learns that she poisoned his wife. The inner 
 hfe of the man, and his terrible awakening, make a study of absorbing interest. [Transl. 
 by Simpson, is., Warne ; by J. H. Hager, 50c., Appleton, New York, 1886 : o.p.] 
 
 An Artist's Honour {Honneur d' artiste) [1890]. 1891 
 
 Subject, a mistaken marriage between a bourgeois painter and a girl of aristocratic Ipirth, 
 
 who loves his friend, a man of her own class. On the one hand, we have a tragic situation 
 led up to inevitably by the author's logical reading of character and passion ; on the 
 other hand, he charms by his witty analysis of class prejudice and the distinctions of 
 manners. [75c., Cassell, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Feydeau, Emest-Aimd [1821-73]. The Secret of Happiness {Le Secret du bonheur) 
 [1864]. 1867 
 
 The secret is that to do good is the destiny of man. A morahzing French count, with his 
 wife and family, disgusted by European society, go to Algeria, and lead a useful and 
 natural life anong the Arabs, whose primitive virtues point the satire against civilization. 
 [Edmonston & Douglas, Edinburgh : o.p.] Feydeau's best and most successful novel 
 was Fanny (1858). [Fanny; or, The Revelations of a Woman's Heart, is. 6d., Vickers, 
 i860: o.p.] 
 
 Flaubert, Gustave [1821-80]. Madame Bovary [1857]. 1893 
 
 Perhaps the most perfect work of realistic art in any language ; a faithful interpretation of 
 actual hfe, infinitely painstaking in its rendering of all the significant facts by means of 
 the exact phrase and the one word that corresponds to truth. It is a plain history of the 
 slow but inevitable moral degeneration of a weak woman. Filled with sentimental ideas 
 about hfe, she marries a stupid but good-hearted doctor, and soon finds herself bored by 
 the dullness of their rustic existence. She takes a lover, and after him a second, ruins her 
 husband by her extravagance, and then poisons herself, the husband discovering her 
 infidelity and dying broken-hearted. The passionless candour of the narrative, the patient 
 rendering of the squalor and narrowness of provincial hfe and of its effect on the woman's 
 mind, make this a landmark in the history of naturahsm. In spite of the author's cold 
 neutraUty, the moral is obvious. [Transl. by Eleanor Marx Aveling, 3s. 6d., is. n.,

NINETEENTH CENTURY, THIRD QUARTER 
 
 Flaubert, Gustave (continued). — Salammbo [1862]. 1886 
 
 Salammbo is a Carthaginian princess, sister of Hannibal ; and the history of the imperial city 
 of Africa in its death struggle with the revolted mercenaries (241-36 B.C.) fills a succession 
 of gorgeous and appalhng scenes. Episodes of riot and torture, the hideous ceremonial of 
 Moloch worship, the barbarous personality of the various leaders, are brought before the 
 eye with tremendous vividness. A wealth of archaeological learning is apphed by the author 
 of Madame Bovary to the composition of this huge realistic canvas, which with George 
 EUot's Romola of the year after (1863) began a new tradition in historical fiction. 
 [Transl. by J. S. Chartres, 3s. 6d., Gibbings ; by J. W. Matthews, 3s. 6d. n., De La 
 More Press, 1901 ; another transl., is. 6d. n.. Greening, 1908.] 
 
 The Sentimental Education [1869]. 1898 
 
 A long and laborious novel, almost entirely lacking in plot or story, but forming a kind of 
 encyclopaedia of manners and, morals in mid-nineteenth century Paris ; the hero a good- 
 natured, aimless young man whose life is a failure, and most of the other characters 
 examples of the failure to achieve happiness. With stem fidelity to the most humdrum 
 facts of life, and practised observation of the springs of action, Flaubert reviews this 
 world of foolish mortals, and shows the nothingness in which such a life must end. 
 [Transl. by D. F. Hannigan, 2 vols., 12s. n., Nichols : o.p.] 
 
 The Temptation of St. Anthony [1874]. 1896 
 
 The famous temptation appears as a wonderful vision passing before the eyes of the anchorite 
 
 in his desert hut. Wealth and luxury are offered him in the most alluring manner ; he is 
 transported to the imperial Court, takes on the personahty of famous kings, the pagan 
 gods pass in procession before him, while the tempter mocks at Christianity ; philosophers, 
 heretics, magicians appear and argue to corrupt his faith, and the devil reveals to him all 
 the mysteries of the world. [Transl. by D. F. Hannigan, 6s. n., Nichols: o.p.; by 
 Rene Francis, ys. 6d. n., Duckworth, 1910; by Lafcadio Hearn, 5s. n., Richards, 191 1 ; 
 ($1.25, Harriman, New York) ; another tranls., is. 6d. n., Greening, 1910.] 
 
 Bouvard and Pecuchet [1881]. 1896 
 
 Posthumous and unfinished. A full-length portrait of two members of the Parisian bourgeois, 
 
 a pair of " narrow-minded, credulous, conventionally vicious Frenchmen," done with a 
 satirical intent and a laboriously reaHstic method. [Transl. by D. F. Hannigan, 6s. n., 
 Nichols : o.p.] 
 
 Gautier, Theophile [1811-72]. Mademoiselle de Maupin [1835]. 1893 
 
 A free glorification of the sensuous side of love, unrestrained and even monotonous in its 
 
 repetition of erotic scenes, redeemed only by the writer's devotion to th^ cult of beauty, 
 
 though he was not uninfluenced by the joy of flouting bourgeois philistinism. [Transl., 
 
 3S. 6d., Gibbings ; 5s., Harrap.] 
 
 The Romance of a Mummy {Le Roman de la Momie) [1858]. 1886 
 
 An Egyptian story of the time of the plagues and of the flight of the Israelite's through the 
 
 Red Sea, with brilliant descriptions of arts, manners, customs, and buildings, embody- 
 ing recent archaeological discoveries. [Transl. by M. Young, 1886: o.p. ; with The Quar- 
 tette, 5S., Harrap, 1901 ; $1.25, Lippincott, Philadelphia ; transl. by F. G. Monkshood, 
 IS. 6d. n.. Greening.] 
 
 Captain Fracasse [Le Capitaine Fracasse) [1863]. 1897 
 
 Reconstitutes the life and manners of the time of Louis XIII (1610-43), the costumes, customs, 
 and castles of the nobility, the streets of Poitiers, Paris, and other cities, with vivid 
 realistic detail. Adventures of a ruined baron, who joins a troupe of strolling players 
 and takes the title-part in a comedy. The Rhodomontades of Captain Fracasse. The 
 soubrette of the band is a girl of mysterious origin, whom he loves and has to fight for 
 with a powerful and unscrupulous young duke. The opening chapters depicting the baron's 
 Chateau of Misery are a celebrated example of descriptive art ; and the fights with bravos, 
 the abductions, the storming of a castle, and other scenes, are wonderfully picturesque and 
 exciting. [Transl. by Ellen M. Bean, 5s., Duckworth; $1.25, Page, Boston ; transl. by 
 the same, with etchings by Delort, 2 vols., 21s. n., Macqueen, 1901 ; other transls., is. 6d. n.. 
 Greening, 1910; 5s., Harrap.] 
 
 Much of Gautier's finest work seems never to have been translated. His artistic gifts shine 
 most clearly in his stories of smaller compass, collected in Amaux et Camies (1858, 
 enlarged 1872) ; Fortunio (1838), Jettatura, La Mort'e amoureuse, a wonderful ghost-story, 
 Militona (1847), etc. [La Morte amoureuse was translated by Lafcadio Hearn sub tit. 
 Clarimonde (with The Mummy's Foot and King Candaules), is. n.. Jack, 1908].)

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 GoNcouRT, Jules [1822-70] and Edmond de [1830-96]. Renee Mauperin [1864]. 
 
 1903 
 A typical and inoffensive example of the Goncourts' pictures of contemporary life : a study 
 of bourgeois society. Its strength is in its workmanship, and the keen-eyed observation 
 and accurate reproduction of even the trivialities in everyday existence. A morbid story; 
 its long-drawn agony painful to the reader. [Transl., 3s. 6d., Gibbings ; transl., with 
 critical introd. by J. Fitzmaurice-Kelly, 7s. 6d., Heinemann, 1902.] 
 
 Germinie Lacerteux [1865]. 1887 
 
 Here their systematic naturaUsm is still more thoroughgoing. Germinie is a poor girl of the 
 
 lowest classes, having no physical or mental attractiveness, born a drudge, and destined 
 to be maltreated and enslaved by the brutishness of man. Into her depressing history 
 the Goncourts poured out the mass of particulars which they had accumulated by patient 
 and accurate observation of her class, and so produced an authoritative picture of manners 
 and a cogent demonstration of the influence of environment upon the individual. [Transl., 
 6s., Vizetelly : o.p.] 
 
 SouvESTRE, Emile [1806-54]. The Attic Philosopher [Un Philosophe sous les Toils) 
 [1850]. 1883 
 
 The reminiscences and meditations of a humble Parisian philosopher, who prefers poverty and 
 contentment to money and anxiety, lowly friends to wealthy kinsfolk, and finds his happi- 
 ness in doing httle acts of kindness. [Transl., is. 6d., Longman: o.p. ; 75c., 40c., Crowell, 
 New York.] 
 
 Verne, Jules [1828-1905]. Five Weeks in a Balloon [1863]. 1870 
 
 The precursor of a host of scientific romances. Jules Verne contrived some more or less 
 plausible scientific marvel — a balloon, a monster gun, a submarine, or a strange geographical 
 discovery — and on this datum built up a series of startUng adventures. Here a party of 
 balloonists go on an exploring voyage across Central Africa. [2s. 6d., 2s., is.. Low; is.,

 animal and vegetable productions akin to those of past geological periods, [is.. Rout-

 From the Earth to the Moon [1865]. 1875 
 
 Around the Moon {sequel; 1870]. 1875 
 
 An adventurous party in America have a monster gun cast, and are shot to the moon. They

 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea [1869-70]. 1872

 Around the World in Eighty Days [1873]. 1873 
 
 An EngUsh gentleman undertakes this project for a wager, but, in addition to the physical 
 
 difficulties, his enemy puts every sort of impediment and danger in his way, so that from 
 beginning to end he runs the gauntlet of incessant peril, though he is successful at the 
 finish. [2S. 6d., 2S., is.. Low ; is., Routledge {50c., Dutton, New York) ; ?2, Scribner,

 Michael Strogoff, the Courier of the Czar [1876]. 1877 
 
 The herculean Strogoff is sent by the Czar with a letter to a commandant in Irkutsk, belea- 
 guered by hordes of Tartars. Traversing the vast extent of Siberia, accompanied by a 
 beautiful girl, he encounters every conceivable kind of peril, but escapes, and executes 
 his mission. [3s. 6d., 2s., illustrated los. 6d., Low; $2, Scribner, New York; $1, Burt,

 Wonderful adventures on the Amazon, connected by a melodramatic plot ; full of geographical, 
 botanical, and zoological information entertainingly arranged. [Ea. 2S., Low ; in i vol., 
 $2, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Godfrey Morgan : a Califomian Mystery [1883]. 1883 
 
 Wonder-story plus farce. A millionaire buys a Pacific isle and sends his nephew to experience 
 
 Crusoe-life, while a rival plutocrat unships a cargo of wild beasts, and nearly puts an end 
 to the adventurous youth. [2s. 6d., 2s., is.. Low ; $2, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 The Castle of the Carpathians [1892]. 1893 
 
 A weird tale with necromantic effects, which the author calls romantic, but it is chiefly pure 
 fantasy. [2s. 6d., Low.] 
 
 ViLLiERS DE lTsle-Adam, Count Philippe Auguste Mathias de [1838-89]. Isis. 
 [1862]. 
 " An enigmatic fragment," Arthur Symons calls this. Isis, or the Marquise TulUa Fabriana, 
 la belle vierge promithiinne, as the author describes her, expresses the mystical philosophy 
 more clearly taught in the following books. " Thou art but what thou thinkest: therefore 
 think thyself eternal." Mighty things are prefigured ; there is a plethora of metaphysical 
 rhapsody ; and then the book ends inconsequently. 
 
 Elen [1862]. 
 
 A romance of the real and the ideal, more correctly than the phrase was apphed by Lytton. 
 Elen, a rich courtesan Uving at Dresden at some unknown period, woos, as if she were a 
 pure maiden, the philosopher Wissler, the perfect scholar, the man above earthly passions ; 
 and he accepts her as the matchless gift of Destiny. Three days of bliss and then the 
 awakening. In a great scene, he witnesses her funeral, and learns who she was. He flings 
 away honours and the work of his life, feeling his soul deflowered, his ideals outraged, 
 and departs into exile. 
 
 Contes Cruels. [1883]. 
 
 Nouveaux Contes Cruels [1889]. 
 
 Cameos of delicate art picturing strange lives with a most sardonic malice. Les Demoiselles 
 de Bienfildtre recounts the virtuous lapse of a daughter of joy, her death-bed confession 
 and absolution. In V4ra, a widowed husband, by force of imagination, reincarnates for 
 himself the spirit of his wife. Virginie et Paul is a cynical inversion of the conventional 
 idyll. Le convive des dernidres fetes turns out to be the public excutioner. Impatience de 
 la Foule and Les Brigands are satires on popular imbecility. The saturnine, nay satanic, 
 humour of La Reine Ysabeau, an anecdote of a royal courtesan, the queen of Charles VI, is 
 so tragic one dare not smile. 
 
 — Tribulat Bonhomet [1887]. 
 
 A long story in his deepest vein of fantastic humour and sinister imagination. 
 
 Axel [1890]. 
 
 A psychical drama, mysterious in scene, time, and characters, and, further, in its dialogue, 
 setting forth Villiers' ideal of the essential beauty. The dramatis personce are, as Mr. 
 Symons points out, types of different ideals, and Axel chooses among them, rejecting 
 life, " the whole illusion of life, since infinity alone is not a deception."

 Daudet, Alphonse [1840-97]. Little Good-for-Nothing {Le Petit Chose) [1868]. 1885 
 A simple, pathetic story, in the restrained style which preceded the Tartarin extravaganzas. 
 The diminutive hero, a compound of weaknesses and strength of will, meets with sUghts 
 and persecution as usher in a huge college, and again in his Ufe in Paris ; the struggle 
 with poverty, the yielding to temptation, and the rescue by a devoted brother, embody 
 reminiscences of the author's early Ufe. Some of the humorous episodes and certain char- 
 acters show very distinctly Daudet's partiality for Dickens. [Transl., sub Hi. Little 
 What's His Name (and other stories), $1 n.. Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Letters from My Mill {Leiires de mon Moulin) [1869]. 1880 
 
 Seventeen tales and descriptive sketches written in a ruined mill on the Rhone ; deHcate 
 
 renderings of Proven9al things, interpreting the brightness and gaiety of the native 
 temperament and satirizing its foibles with humorous affection. Extremely various, 
 ranging from old legends to pictures of modern life, from the Pope's Mule, a sketch of 
 the Middle Ages, to The Stars, a meditative pastoral. The outdoor aspects, the hills, 
 rocks, and woods, are sketched in exquisite vignettes. [Transl. {vfith. Monday Tales, etc.),

 Tartarin of Tarascon, Traveller, " Turk," and Lion-Hunter {Aventures pro- 
 
 digieuses de Tartarin de Tarascon) [1872]. , 1896 
 
 A new and inimitable kind of extravaganza, satirizing Daudet's Proven9al compatriots with 
 a geniality and an irresistible gusto that remove any offence. Tartarin, Uke Pickwick, 
 is a new figure in hterature, a caricature of the imaginative and unveracious Meridional,

NINETEENTH CENTURY, FOURTH QUARTER 
 
 with his incorrigible propensity for exaggeration and bragging. He sets out on an ex-

 Daudet, Alphonse (continued). — Artists' Wives [Les Femmes d' Artistes) [1874]. 1896 
 
 Brief sketches of character, many of them lightly satirical, and all giving the impression of 
 
 being drawn from personal observation, of the wives of Uterary men, actors, painters, 
 
 and sculptors. The moral seems to be that it is very hard to find a suitable mate for the 
 
 artistic temperament. [Transl. by L. Ensor, is. 6d. n., Dent.] 
 
 Fromont Junior and Risler Senior (Fromont jeune et Risler aine) [1874]. 1894 
 
 A realistic story of middle-class Paris, and the mean, drab world of the Marais shopkeepers. 
 A partnership between two incompatibles, their wives' jealousies, and an unpleasant 
 intrigue are the chief interests. Sidonie Chdbe is a pecuharly French example of a vain 
 and heartless woman, whose mischief-making works havoc among her friends. On the 
 other hand, the novel contains plenty of Daudet's Southern humour, especially in the 
 delectable figure of the superannuated actor Delobelle, who has not acted for ten years, 
 but is determined not to give up the stage. [Transl. by E. Vizetelly, 6s., Hutchinson

 ■ Robert Helmont : the Diary of a Recluse [Robert Helmont) [1874]. 1896 
 
 The journal kept by a non-combatant during the siege of Paris and the German occupation, 
 vividly depicting the sufferings of the besieged, and the emotions awakened in a sensitive 
 mind by the actuahties of war. [Transl. by L. Ensor, is. 6d. n.. Dent ; transl. (with 
 Fromont jeune et Risler alni), .?i n.. Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Jack [Jack) [1876]. , 1897 
 
 Emotional pictures rather than a regular novel — pictures connected by the history of an 
 
 illegitimate boy, whose hfe is a career of misery reheved only by death. The young martyr 
 and his worthless mother were drawn from life, and certain denizens of the bohemian 
 world in Paris are caricatured. The imitation of Dickens is palpable ; the harrowing 
 pictures of the Moronval Academy have an obvious likeness to Dotheboys Hall. [Transl. 
 by L. Ensor, 2 vols., 3s. n.. Dent; transl., 2 vols., $2 n.. Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 The Nabob [Le Nabab) [1877]. 1878 
 
 A satirical picture of Uf.e under the Second Empire, emphasizing the different phases of vulgar 
 brilUance, hoUowness, baseness, and rapacity. Recognizable scandals are introduced, and 
 many figures are obvious caricatures of well-known people : e.g. the Duke de Mora 
 (Momy) and the Irish Doctor Jenkins. The Nabob is a man from the South of France, 
 who rises from poverty to immense wealth by operations in Tunis. His debut in Society 
 is very comic ; but, in spite of his ignorance, he impresses himself on the reader as better 
 than the great people with whom he is associated. [Transl., 2 vols., ?2 n.. Little & Brown, 
 Boston ; 3s. 6d., Greening; with introd. by Prof. Trent, 7s. 6d., Heinemann, 1902.] 
 
 Kings in Exile [Les Rois en Exit) [z%']<^'\. 1896 
 
 Another alleged portrayal of actual persons, the chief figure an exiled King of Illyria holding 
 
 his Court in Paris. He is a weak and dissolute man, caring for nothing but his pleasures ; 
 but the queen is a real queen, living for her ambition, ready to sacrifice everything to see 
 her husband on the throne again. The most appealing character is the little prince, last 
 of the royal house, the hope of his mother, shattered by a cruel accident. [Transl. by 
 L. Ensor and E. Barlow, is. 6d. n.. Dent ; transl., $1 n.. Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Numa Roumestan ; or, Joy Abroad and Grief at Home [Numa Roumestan) 
 
 [1880]. 1884 
 
 Daudet's fullest and most serious concentration of Proven9al characteristics in an individual. 
 Numa's genius for lying, his sham enthusiasms and irrepressible impudence, achieve a 
 dazzling success ; he wins a rich and beautiful wife, and at thirty is Minister of Fine Arts. 
 This career seems to be suggested by the Ufe of Gambetta ; but Numa is not an actual 
 portrait. This grand meridional is in conduct a very reprehensible person, his folhes, 
 deceptions, absurdities, are detailed with cruel reaUsm and keen satire ; yet the gaiety 
 and audacity of the Southern temperament subjugate the reader, while the nobler nature 
 of his Parisian wife seems cold. In this pair it is sometimes contended that Daudet sketched 
 the characters and bohemian existence of himself and his wife. Henry James says that 
 here " he has achieved the feat of becoming objective to his own vision." [Transl. (with 
 Rose et Ninette), $1 n.. Little & Brown, Boston.]

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 Daudet, Alphonse {continued). — The Evangelist (L' Evangeliste) [1883]. 1883 
 
 A satire on fanatical Protestantism and intolerance. The dominating figure is a woman, 
 bigoted, overbearing, implacable, whose religious zeal is a curse to her neighbours ; and 
 the principal episode is her evil influence on a young girl whose affectionate disposition 
 is frozen hard by this sombre Calvinism. [Transl. by C. H. Meltzer, 3s. 6d. ; transl. (with

 Sappho [Sapho) [1884]. 1886

 the Flies and the Footlights, etc.), $1 n.. Little c& Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Tartarin on the Alps [Tartarin des Alpes) [1885]. 1896 
 
 To estabHsh his glory more firmly, Daudet's mock-hero now undertakes the conquest of the 
 
 Alps, encouraged thereto by his beUef that the notorious dangers were invented by success- 
 ful climbers to enhance their credit. Great is the harvest of ludicrous incident, especially 
 when the lion-hunter and his comrade are, as they think, brought face to face with death. 
 There is also good-humoured satire directed at mountaineering enthusiasts, and a mock- 
 romance, out of which Tartarin emerges very absurdly. [Transl. by H. Frith, is. 6d. n..

 A savage pasquinade on the Academy, by one of the unelect. Mercilessly personal in its satire,

 Rose and Ninette [1892]. 1892 
 
 A frankly realistic study of irregular unions and the vices of fast Society. Endeavours to show

 and of descriptions of tropical scenery. [3s. 6d., Vizetelly : o.p.]

 The White Terror : a Romance of the French Revolution and After [seque^. 
 
 1900 
 A living picture of the whole of the revoliationary era by a Southern novelist, who puts it in 
 the homely words of a rustic, and so attains an air of verisimilitude in a very artistic and 
 charming way. The supposed narrator is a peasant from Provence, who marches to 
 Paris with the Marseilles battalion, and is an eye-witness of all that he describes. The first 
 book depicts the unsettled state of Paris after the fall of the Bastille, and then tells how 
 the insurrection broke out anew, and how the mob sacked Versailles. In the sequel the 
 Reign of Terror is in full blast, Marat figures prominently, and the King is executed. The 
 scene in the last volume changes back to the South and faction-torn Avignon ; Valmy 
 and other battlefields are described, and then, more briefly, the rise and career of Napoleon. 
 Everything falls into right perspective from the consistency with which the point of view 
 of a man of the people is maintained, even in the running commentary of the unlettered 
 hearers. [Transl. by Mrs. Janvier, (i) 3s. 6d., is. 6d. ($1) ; {2) 6s. (I1.50) ; (3) 6s. ($1.50),

 " Gr£ville, Henri " [Alice Marie Celeste Durand, nee Fleury ; 1842-1902]. 
 Sylvie's Betrothed [Le Fiance de Sylvie) [1882]. 1882 
 
 The central situation is a delicate one, but the author's refinement makes the story whole- 
 some. Sylvie, an impulsive girl, almost unconsciously falls in love with her guardian, 
 and he as innocently returns her regard, but, striving to do his duty by her, induces her 
 to engage herself to a young lover. When Sylvie dismisses her fiance, the situation becomes 
 acute ; but the denouement exhibits the triumph of goodness, and teaches that " we 
 must not Uve for ourselves alone." [Transl. by M. N. Sherwood, 75c., Peterson, Phila-

 Nikanor [1887]. 1889 
 
 A Russian story, illustrating elevated ideals of conduct and character. The history of a grand 
 seigneur, an egoist, who causes a love-child to be brought up secretly. Impelled by a 
 sense of duty, he gradually experiences such feelings of paternity as melt the ice envelop- 
 ing his heart. [Transl. by EUza E. Chase, 2s., Chatto.]

 " Gyp " [Gabrielle Sibylle Marie Antoinette de Riquetti de Mirabeau, Comtesse de 
 Martel de Janville; b. 1850]. Little Bob {Petit Bob) [1882]. 1900 
 
 Dialogues with an acute and witty boy of eight, the proverbial enfant terrible, whose sayings 
 are unconsciously satirical of older people and of their conventional, insincere ways. 
 [Transl. by Alys Holi.ard, 2s. 6d. n., Heinemann.] 
 
 Chiffon's Marriage [Le Manage de Chiffon) [1894]. 1895 
 
 The history of a husband more absorbed in politics than in his wife, who allows men to pay 
 her attentions, but learns this is not the way to happiness. With plenty of good humour, 
 rtiillery and wit. Gyp amuses herself with lively sketches of the caprices, the pleasures, 
 and the frivolous fashions of fast society. [Transl. by Mrs. Patchett Martin, 2s.,

 Those Good Normcins [Ces Bons Normands !) [1895]. 1896 
 
 Light banter and satire of the people of Normandy in a series of sketches. These Normans

 not meant altogether seriously. [Transl. by Marie Jussen, ?i. Rand & McNally,

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 Halevy, Ludovic [1834-1908]. Marriage of Love (Un Manage d' Amour [1881]. 1886 
 The heroine is an attractive Parisian girl, whose ambition is to marry out of the respectable 
 bourgeois sphere to which her people belong, but who finds that she must take whom 
 providence offers. Contains sympathetic pictures of tranquil home Ufe among the middle 
 classes. [Transl. by Bogaerde and Newill, is., Simpkin : o.p. ; by F. H. Potter. 
 $1.25, Dodd & Mead, New York.] 
 
 The Abbe Constantin [1882]. 1897 
 
 One of the best examples of the "healthy novel" — roman honngte — an innocent and senti- 
 mental form of literature portraying the middle classes, and read by them, and containing 
 none but worthy characters. An idyllic story, with a charming and most meritorious 
 priest as the leading figure, and two American ladies, Mrs. Scott and her sister, who are 
 attractive renderings of transatlantic character. [Transl. by Th&ese Batbedat, 3s. 6d., 
 Macqueen : o.p.; $1.25, 75c., 50c., 35c., Crowell, New York; $1.25, 40c., Dodd & Mead, 
 New York.] 
 
 Criquette [1883]. 1891 
 
 Criquette also is a pure and noble character, who begins Ufe as a flower-girl, and after some 
 juvenile successes on the stage becomes an actress. Her first lover is unworthy, and 
 deserts her, but she remains loyal ; and when at length she alUes herself with another, it 
 is only to give up her life for him. [Transl. by A. D. Hall, $1.75, $1, 25c., Rand & McNally,

 Parisian Points of View : Tales. 1894 
 
 Nine stories and sketches selected from Halevy's numerous tales, very characteristic of their 
 bright and effervescent quaUties and of the author's peculiarly dramatic methods. [Transl. 
 by E. V. B. Matthews, $i. Harper, New York.] 
 
 HuYSMANS, Joris-Karel [1848-1907]. En Route [1895]. 1896 
 
 The Cathedral [sequel; 1898]. ' 1898 
 
 In method, Huysmans was a disciple of Zola, and almost outvied his master in the frankness 
 and the grossness of his naturalism. The sphere of his subject-matter is narrower, but he 
 goes far deeper than Zola into the abysses of human nature, especially the abnormal 
 and diseased. These three novels, and some that preceded but were never translated, 
 are introspective chapters in the hfe of a literary man, Durtal, who obviously corresponds 
 more or less directly to Huysmans himself. Jules Lemaitre calls him the modern Ren6 
 of fiction (see Chateaubriand). In a previous novel, Ld-Bas, we see Durtal overwhelmed 
 with pessimism, dallying on the one hand with religious mysticism, and on the other 
 hand dipping into mediseval and modern diabohsm and stirring up the dregs of exhausted 
 sensuality. En route shows him still struggling desperately in the sensual bog, but gradu- 
 ally surrendering to religious influences, especially the aesthetic charms of Catholic worship. 
 The elaborate descriptions of religious art, vestments and ritual, music and architecture, 
 and of their potent influence on Durtal's mind, are extreme examples of the naturalistic 
 method. The grossness of the original has been largely eUminated in this translation. 
 En Route is a perfect guide-book to the churches of Paris, not merely describing their 
 exteriors and interiors with the utmost fullness and the critical attitude of an ecclesiologist, 
 but deaUng with the performances of clergy and choirs, and with the daily hfe of each 
 church. A similarly close account of the manner of Ufe in a retreat follows, and this 
 contains some of the best portraits of character. In The Cathedral, Chartres is depicted 
 with exceeding fullness — the building, the stained glass, sculpture, and ceremonial, are the 
 subject of a series of subtle descriptive essays. [Transl. by Clara Bell, (i) 3s. 6d., (2) 6s., 
 Paul.] L'Oblat (1903), a further sequel, the record of the last stage of Durtal's penitence 
 and conversion, which he consummates by becoming a monk, has not been translated. 
 
 Malot, Hector Henri [1830-1907]. No Relations [Sans Famille) [1878]. 1880 
 
 A picaresque novel recounting the adventures of a lovable boy, an EngUsh foundUng, in France 
 and elsewhere. Varied pictures of Ufe, in town and country, among thieves, vagabonds, 
 and simple rustics, with sad and mirthful episodes, and touching sketches of character. 
 The romance of vagabondage is brought before us further in scenes from the life of a wander- 
 ing musician with his wonderfully attractive animals. [Transl. by M. Laffan, 6s., Mac-

 A curious portrayal of a man who is outwardly honest and respectable, but at bottom a mon- 
 strous criminal. [2 vols., 2s., Vizetelly : o.p.] 
 
 A Mother (La Mere) [1890]. 1890 
 
 Portrays the seamy side of outwardly reputable life in Paris with realism and satire. The 
 
 class depicted is that of well-to-do manufacturers, financiers, etc., and wealthy young 
 men of pleasure. Shows how a man, healthy in mind and body, might be taken for a mad- 
 man and deprived of his liberty : an attack on science and justice in France. [Transl. 
 by J. ScHONBERG, 50C., Belford Co., Chicago.] 
 
 Conscience [1888]. 1891 
 
 In a reunion of ambitious young men, advocates, writers, etc., one of them, a physician of 
 great talent, argues from scientific premises that there is no such thing as conscience.

 JVTaupassant, Henri Rene Albert Guy de [1850-93]. Boule de Suit [1880]. 1899 
 Technically, this is one of the finest short stories ever written, and furthermore a briUiant 
 example of Maupassant's rather sardonic humour. Boule de Suit ("Bladder of Lard"), 
 a fiUe de joie, in an episode of the German occupation, proves herself in every way superior 
 to a party of highly reputable people who despise her, and yet are anxious to profit by 
 the conveniences of her trade. First appeared in Les Soirees de Midan (see p. 565). 
 [Transl., with introd. by A. Symons, illus., Thevenot, 15s. n., Heinemann.] 
 
 A Woman's Life (Une Vie: I'humble Verite) [1883]. 1888 
 
 The book is an anatomy of married Ufe and all its disillusionments, carried out with a ruth- 
 less and almost brutal frankness. [Transl. (Boulevard Novels) by Henry Blanchamp 
 (Lotus Library), 1902.] 
 
 Yvette ; and other Stories [1884]. 1904 
 
 Ten in all — Miss Harriet, The Umbrella, The Piece of String, On Sale, etc. Yvette is a triumph 
 in the fine art of narration, and splendidly exhibits Maupassant's dexterity in revealing 
 the elusive heart of a woman. It is a peculiarly French love-tale of the demi-monde — 
 Yvette being the daughter of the " Marquise " Obardi, a woman in the same situation as 
 that described in Mrs. Warren's Profession. [Transl. by A. G., with pref . by Jos. Conrad, 
 6s., Duckworth.] 
 
 Pierre and Jean [1888]. 1890 
 
 The preface is a memorable manifesto of the school of "Art for Art's sake," a laudation of 
 
 obj ective realism as opposed to subj ective analysis . A sombre and tragic study of bourgeois 
 life, the tale of two brothers, one of whom is suddenly led to suspect that the other is the 
 child of his mother's adultery. With infinite reluctance he compels himself to follow up 
 the inquiry, while the mother, impassive and remorseful, awaits the discovery of her 
 guilt. A superb example of his faculty for observing the infinite details of hfe and re- 
 producing them with unerring fidelity. [Transl. by Clara Bell, 7s, 6d., Heinemann, 
 1902 ; by H. Craig, 50c., Brentano, New York, 1899.] 
 
 The Odd Number : Thirteen Tales. 1889 
 
 The title-story is a faithful transcript of life and manners in a Norman village, accurate and 
 
 convincing in the revelation of thought and emotion, and showing with characteristic 
 irony how big issues hang on trifling events. Maupassant surpassed himself in portraying 
 his countryman, the Norman peasant. [Transl. by J. Sturges, with introd. by Henry 
 James, 3s. 6d. ($1), Harper.] 
 
 — Strong as Death (Fort comme la Mort) [1889]. 1900 
 [Transl. by T. E. Comba, 3s. 6d., Truelove ($1.50, Biddle, Philadelphia).] 
 
 — A Coquette's Love (Notre Coeur) [1890]. 1890 
 An unemotional, unsentimental, and unsarcastic study of the heart. MarioUe's mistress is 
 
 a woman incapable of passion, who simply permits him to love her — a kind of response 
 to his ecstasies of desire that drives him to jealousy and eventual disillusionment. He 
 finds consolation in the child-like affection of a girl of the people, whom he saved from 
 brutality. The idle, luxurious, most rechferchee of Parisian Society is depicted with 
 magnificent realism. [Belford, New York : o.p.]

 Maupassant, Henri Rene Albert Guy de (continued) .■ — Stories from Maupassant. 1903 
 
 A selection evidently governed by reluctance to provoke the phiUstine ; representative, 
 nevertheless, of Maupassant's exquisite technique, his unsurpassed faculty of observation, 
 and his sense of the irony of things. The two best are The Return and Night ; the former 
 an Enoch Arden story with a triumphantly commonplace ending that is convincingly 
 true to life. [Transl. by E. M., with preface by Ford Madox Hueffer, is. n., Duckworth,]

 Rabusson, Henri [b. 1850]. Madame d'Orgevaut's Husband (Le Man de Mme. 
 d'Orgevaui) [1888]. 1891 
 
 One of several studies of problems of wedlock. Madame d'Orgevaut learns from her husband 
 that he has been dishonest, but has made restitution, and would fain Uve a straight Ufe. 
 Will she be able to love him still, having ceased to respect him ? The searchings of heart 
 and bitter emotional experiences of the wife are pathetically related. At last the struggle 
 is too great to be borne, and she leaves him to work out his salvation in solitude. [Transl., 
 50c., Jamieson, Chicago.] 
 
 Theuriet, Claude Adhemar Andre [1833-1907]. The Marriage of Gerard [Le 
 Manage de Gerard) [1875]. 1891 
 
 One of the best of several idylHc novels, the main charm of which is their exquisite rural 
 setting. The scenery is in perfect keeping with the simple beauty of the love-story, which 
 tells how the son of an old chevalier resists his father's plans for an ehgible marriage, 
 and chooses his own bride. [Transl., suh tit. Gerard's Marriage, $1, Burt, New York, 
 1906.] 
 
 — Angele's Fortune [La Fortune d'Angele) [1876]. 1879 
 
 A story with a definite moral. The daughter of a lawyer's clerk in the provinces idealizes a 
 young poet, while a worthy young fellow in her own walk of life loves her faithfully. Be- 
 trayed by the selfish poet, who fails in his ambition and absconds during the war, she is 
 magnanimously taken to wife by the countryman, who adopts her child. [Transl. by 
 M. N. Sherwood, Si. 25, 75c., Peterson, Philadelphia.] 
 
 The House of the Two Barbels {La Maison des deux Barheaux) [1878]. 1878 
 
 A Uttle domestic comedy of Southern France, and a tender picture of the charms of home 
 life, so dear to the French author. An old-fashioned household of simple-minded and 
 eccentric people is thrown into consternation by the arrival of two relatives from Paris, 
 a fashionable lady and her brilliant daughter. [20c., Appleton, New York : o.p.] 
 
 The Godson of a Marquis {Le Filleul d'un Marquis) [1878]. 1881 
 
 The love of an illegitimate son is blighted by his ignoble birth, and in his despair he is on the 
 verge of an intrigue with a married woman ; but his troubles are brought to an end by 
 the repentance and marriage of his father and mother, [is., Vizetelly : o.p. ; $1, Burt, 
 New York, 1906.] 
 
 Maugars Junior {Le Fits Maugars) [1879]. 1880 
 
 An edifying love-story, with scenes of happy and virtuous country life and of vicious bourgeois 
 life in a small town, bringing out the beauty of unselfishness, peaceful domesticity, and 
 simplicity of life, [is., Vizetelly: o.p. ; sub tit. Young Maugars, $1, Appleton, New 
 York : o.p.] 
 
 Queen of the Woods {Reine des Bois) [1890]. 1891 
 
 The heroine devotes herself to the care of a paralytic old man, her love-romance shattered 
 by the discovery that she and her lover are children of one father. Theuriet's word- 
 painting of the woods of Lorraine and the plains of the Loire is as exuberant as the work 
 of Richard Jefferies. [Transl. by H. E. Miller, 50c., Laird, Chicago.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, FOURTH QUARTER 
 
 UcHARD, Mario [1824-93]. My Uncle Barbassou [1875]. 1888 
 
 A fantastic and humorous account of an Oriental experiment in Paris. The uncle of the 
 young Parisian hero was a sort of pasha, and, among other things, left to his nephew a 
 harem of captivating young ladies, with one of whom the hero falls in love. [With 40

 Zola, Emile Edouard Charles Antoine [1840-1902]. Stories for Ninon [1864-74]. 
 
 1897 
 An interesting collection of stories by Zola, the poetic romancer, written long before he con- 
 ceived the experimental novel. Two series — Contes d Ninon (1864) and Nouveaux Contes d 
 Ninon (1874). The Love Fairy, written 1858, is a fantastic trifle in the eighteenth-century 
 style of Cr^billon ; The Ball Programme (i860), a Provenfal story, consists chiefly of a 
 dialogue between a young girl and her last ball programme ; Blood (1862) is a bit of romantic 
 melodrama about some soldiers and a ghost ; Simplice, an imaginative httle fairy-tale ; 
 The Thieves and the Ass, the story of a picnic by the Seine, embodies reminiscences of 
 Zola's penurious early hfe in Paris. Jean Sourdon's Four Days {Nouveaux Contes) is longer 
 and more important, a pastoral in four scenes, each a representative day in the hfe of a 
 Provengal peasant ; youth and love, war, marriage and paternity, sudden death, are the 
 themes of these episodes. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Heinemann.] 
 
 A Dead Woman's Wish [Le Vceu d'une Morte) [1866]. 1902 
 
 Belongs to the same imaginative period of Zola's art. An idealistic story of heroism, passion, 
 and self-effacement ; with four Parisian sketches subjoined. [Transl. by Count C. S. de 
 SoissoNS, 3s. 6d., Greening.] 
 
 The Mysteries of Marseilles (Les Mysteres de Marseille) [1867-8]. 1895 
 
 A melodramatic novel of the old stamp, culminating in the 1848 insurrection at Marseilles. 
 [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., is. n., Hutchinson.] 
 
 The Attack on the Mill ; and other Sketches of War [1880]. 1894 
 
 L'Atti^ue du Moulin appeared in the famous collection of six naturalistic stories by as many 
 writers, entitled Les Soiries de Midan (1880). An intensely vivid and realistic picture of 
 warfare by one who has constantly recognized the hideousness of war. The accompanying 
 sketch. Three Wars, is a pathetic series of reminiscences of the Crimean, Franco-Italian, 
 and Franco-German campaigns, connected by the history of two brothers : here again 
 war is represented as perverting the moral nature of man. [3s. 6d., Heinemann : o.p.-; 
 50c., Brentano, New York.] 
 
 THE ROUGON-MACQUART SERIES. 
 
 The most systematic and comprehensive attempt made since Balzac to depict on a large scale 
 contemporary life as it is. In twenty novels, Zola traced the physiological and psychical 
 history of a family in whose blood there was an hereditary taint. Each book illustrates 
 a certain phase of social hfe ; and the work is carried out with unparalleled energy and an 
 exhaustive research usually confined to speciaUsts. Unprepossessing features are the 
 commonness of the subjects, the domination of a mechanical view of life, the absence 
 of spirituaUty, taste, or even selection. The avowed principle of the " experimental 
 novel," as Zola denominates this form of fiction, is to place beings, whose physical and 
 mental constitution is known, in a certain environment and under the influence of certain 
 events, and then to see whether the result corresponds with the author's observation of 
 hfe. Hence this family chronicle must be regarded as a serious study in human evolution, 
 each novel showing the influence of heredity and the disturbing effect of variation, each 
 important character exhibiting in his conduct and career the tendency of his blood. 
 
 The Fortunes of the Rougons (La Fortune des Rougon) [1871]. 1898 
 
 The introductory novel, which is the key to the whole series. In the preface Zola expounds 
 the basic idea of heredity. The common ancestress of Rougons and Macquarts is the 
 neuropathic Adelaide Fouque, who, being widowed, takes for a lover the brutal and drunken 
 Macquart, a gloomy and taciturn pariah. From the legitimate Pierre Rougon and the 
 base-bom Antoine and Ursula Macquart spring the divers branches of the family, and 
 their several characteristics are constantly reproduced. Pierre domineers over his weak 
 mother, cheats her, and turns out the other children ; then, marrying Felicite, he intro- 
 duces a new strain. The effects of the coup-d'itat of 1851 in the provinces is described

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 with local knowledge and historical accuracy, many of the incidents being founded on the 
 statements of eye-witnesses. A touching idyll of two young lovers, Miette and Silvdre, 
 comes to a tragic conclusion through the popular upheaval. The Proven9al country town 
 of Plassans is the scene. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Zola, Emile Edouard Charles Antoine [continued). — The Rush for the Spoil (La 
 Curee) [1872]. 1885 
 
 Describes the career of Aristide Saccard, who makes an enormous fortune by building specula- 
 tion, and having married a lady of social rank gains entrance to the world of vulgar 
 profligacy and extravagance which constituted Parisian Society after the establishment 
 of the Second Empire in 1851. [Transl., 3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., Vizetelly, 1885-7; La Curie, 
 transl. by A. Texeira de Mattos, priv. prin., Lutetian Soc] 
 
 The Fat and the Thin [Le Ventre de Paris) [1873]. 1895 
 
 The English title refers allegorically to the incessant conflict between the fat and the lean of 
 
 this world, the well-fed, prosperous bourgeois and the starving labourer. It is a study 
 of the inhabitants of the Halles, the great central markets of Paris ; a picture of teeming, 
 multitudinous life, full of gross contrasts. Faithful in portraiture of humble characters, 
 shopkeepers, workpeople, fishwives, market gardeners, street arabs, and all the motley 
 denizens of the markets. Lisa, the selfish and worldly-wise heroine, is a Macquart ; the 
 story hinges on her brother-in-law's return from Cayenne, his clandestine sojourn in her 
 house, and the discontent with his idle existence which urges her at last to denounce him 
 to the pohce : period, 1857 to i860. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 The Conquest of Plassans {La Conquete de Plassans) [1874]. 1900 
 
 Pictures the whole life of a provincial town, the petty jealousies, chques and intrigues, and 
 
 the poUtical movements in the years following the coup-d'etat. Plassans was becoming a 
 stronghold of the clerical party, when an arrogant and wily priest was sent to win it back 
 for the Government. This powerful, ambitious, ascetic man makes himself head of the 
 dominant party, and in the course of his operations wrecks the home of the Mourets. 
 Marthe, the youngest daughter of Pierre and Felicity, weak and neurasthenic as her grand- 
 mother Adelaide, is the pathetic heroine. She, the wife, demorahzed by a fatal infatuation 
 for the priest, which he scorns, ruiils her family and dies miserably. The husband is an 
 interesting case of a sane man believed to be a lunatic and put away, with the result that 
 he actually goes insane. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 The Abbe Mouret's Transgression {La Faute de I' Abbe Mouret) [1875]. 1900 
 
 The Abb6 is the son of this unfortunate pair, and the taint comes out, after his transgression 
 and repentance, in the form of ecstatic and morbid spirituahty verging on hysteria. He 
 is priest of a squahd village in Provence, the degenerate inhabitants of which compose an 
 ugly picture of country Ufe. The central episode is a kind of mythological poem, in which 
 the author embodies ideas from his early poem of Genesis. In the Paradou, the wild, 
 neglected demesne of a ruined manor-house, amidst the unfettered exuberance of Nature, 
 Mouret and the lovely Albine, hke Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, Uve their Arcadian 
 idyll, soon to close in tragedy, and for the Abb6 in bitter penitence for a sin which he had 
 committed almost involuntarily. Exposes the moral evils entailed by celibacy. [Transl. 
 by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 His Excellency {Son Excellence Eugene Rougon) [1876]. 1897 
 
 The victorious career of Eugene Rougon, the great man of the family, who becomes Prime 
 Minister under the Empire as the result of his masterly advocacy of the regime of force 
 and, later, of the hberal movement inaugurated by Napoleon III — obviously a study of 
 Eugene Rouher (1814-84; Minister of State, 1861). This powerful and complex character 
 is likewise a product of hereditary tendencies, which account for his nature and life : 
 his father and mother were Pierre and Fehcit6, masculine strength and crafty intelligence. 
 As a species of historical monograph the novel has further interest, depicting with great 
 reaUsm Society and official Ufe, and exposing the falsehoods and corruptions of the Imperial 
 Court. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 The Dram Shop {U Assommoir) [1877]. 1897 
 
 This book first made Zola famous. The central idea is the ruinous effect, social and moral, of 
 
 drinking ; and pathetic interest attaches to Gervaise, the ill-used victim of circumstances, 
 corrupted in her very infancy yet preserving the feminine traits of tenderness and modesty. 
 The original is appallingly outspoken, and shocked the public with its terrible revelations 
 of the social depravity due to drink. The grossness of the argot and of the incidents is, 
 of course, much modified here, as in all these translations. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 
 3s. 6d., Chatto ; by S. J. A. Fitzgerald, is. 6d. n.. Greening.]

NINETEENTH CENTURY, FOURTH QUARTER 
 
 Zola, Emile Edouard Charles Antoine {continued). — Nana (Nana) [1880]. 1884 
 Descriptive of theatrical life and of the courtesans of Paris . Nana is a beautiful, fascinating- 
 extravagant, and incompetent actress, who ruins a host of lovers and dies a repulsive 
 death. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, firiv. prin., Victor Plarr, Lutetian Soc. ; transl. by 
 J. Stirling, Peterson, Philadelphia, 1880: o.p.] 
 
 Piping Hot (Pot-Bouille) [1882]. 1885 
 
 A naturaUstic painting of bourgeois domesticity, outrageous in its unveiUng of private vices 
 and of the obscene secrets of Hfe. As usual, Zola has collected into one house such a mass 
 of ignoble characters and foul details that the whole is incredible even if the parts can be 
 authenticated. 
 
 The Ladies' Paradise {Au Bonheur des Dames) [1883]. 1895 
 
 A huge magazin, or store, with its horde of employees and throngs of customers, is the theatre 
 of this drama of human bestiahty. " The Ladies' Paradise " is, as it were, a protagonist 
 in the play, a colossal Moloch, devouring the petty shopkeepers, who are ruined by the 
 unequal competition. 
 
 How Jolly Life Is ! [La Joie de Vivre) [1884]. 1886 
 
 Portrays a set of selfish and unhappy people, of weak wills and diseased constitutions, who 
 cling to Hfe not because they find any joy in it but from morbid fear of death : scene, 
 a seaside village in Normandy. Lazare Chanteau, a young hypochondriac, whose insane 
 projects devour the wealth of the girl who loves him, is the most miserable decadent of 
 them all. Pauline, on the other hand, is a fine embodiment of tireless devotion to others, 
 in spite of ingratitude. Basely wronged by those she has saved, her hopes and affections 
 thwarted, she yet finds consolation and joy in denying herself more and more. [Transl. 
 by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Germinal ; or, Master and Man [1885]. 1885 
 
 Describes the struggles of capital and labour in a coal-mining centre. Lantier, a scion of the 
 Rougon-Macquarts, works as a labourer in the pits, and is one of the ringleaders when the 
 selfish poUcy of the company drives the employees to strike. The hfe of the unhappy 
 miners, their degradation and misery beneath the iron rule of the capitahst ; the ravages 
 of hunger, chief weapon of their foes ; and the wild scenes of violence that signahze the 
 strike, are painted with multitudinous details into a vast and terrible picture, calling to 
 mind Dante's descriptions of hell. [3s. 5d., Chatto.] 
 
 His Masterpiece ; or, De Lan tier's Struggle for Fame (L'CEuvre) [1886]. 1886 
 
 The theme is hterary and artistic work, with its vicissitudes of triumph and defeat, hope and 
 despair. A sad tale, with more intellectual interest than usual with Zola, deaUng with the 
 unhappy life of a man of genius who is unable to bring to fruition any of his great ideas, 
 in spite of indomitable energy. Zola makes full use of the extensive knowledge of studios 
 and artists gained in his early work as art-critic. The translator states that Claude Lantier 
 is a composite study of the painters C6zanne and the more famous Manet, whose hfe 
 Zola has written, while the interesting character, Pierre Sandoz, he identifies with the 
 novehst himself. Thus he claims for the book exceptional interest as a livre vicu. Claude's 
 insanity displays effectively the author's great pathological knowledge. [Transl. by E. A. 
 Vizetelly ; 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 A Love Episode {Une Page d' Amour) [1888]. 1895 
 
 A touching story of Parisian hfe, full of fancy and ideaUty, though essentially naturahstic in 
 portraying the growth of love. A widow living with her consumptive daughter, in whom 
 the hereditary bUght reappears, enters into a passionate haison with a doctor, and the poor 
 little girl manages to kill herself with jealousy. The drab reaUsm of such scenes as the 
 child's funeral intensifies the pathos; and, seen through a window from hour to hour, 
 the vast ocean of Paris, moody and changeful, throws a poetic hght over the story. [Transl. 
 by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Hutchinson.] 
 
 The Dream {Le Reve) [1888]. 1893 
 
 Written as " a passport to the Academy," and welhiigh unique among Zola's fiction for its 
 pure, idylhc grace. Angehque the foundhng is taken in by an aged pair of servitors to a 
 cathedral under whose shadow they hve ; and as she grows up, sitting at her embroideries 
 
 567 
 
FRENCH FICTION 
 
 of sacred vestments, she has a vision of love and happiness which at length is reahzed. 
 The mighty pile with its complex architecture, the play of light on the pinnacles and on 
 the saints in the windows, and the solemn ritual that gives it a soul within, is the Hugoesque 
 idea colouring the whole story. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto; 25c., Rand 
 & McNally, Chicago.] 
 
 Zola, Emile Edouard Charles Antoine (continued). — ^The Soil: a realistic novel [La 
 
 Terre) [1888]. 1888 
 
 A masterpiece of naturahsm exhibiting the various excesses of Zola's theory of art at their 
 
 worst. The agricultural population of France are depicted as a rabble of degraded beasts 
 
 actuated by no motives more refined than covetousness, hatred, and lust. [Transl. by 
 
 E. A. Vizetelly, 1888: o.p.] 
 
 The Monomaniac (La Bete Humaine) [1890]. igoi 
 
 Introduces us to the railway world. Studies the business of a great line in immense detail, 
 the picturesque side of railway hfe giving effect to some terrific episodes. Jacques Lantier, 
 the monomaniac, is an engine-driver, and Roubaud, the hero of an important episode, 
 and other characters, work for the company in various capacities. Several threads of 
 crime and depravity are woven into the story : Lantier has inherited from distant ancestors 
 a hideous craving to murder women. A grim and horrible picture of Ufe. [Transl. by 
 E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Money (U Argent) [1891]. 1894 
 
 Explores the financial world, and brings to Ught the monstrous evils caused by speculation, 
 company-promoting, the frauds and neghgence of directors, and the inefi&ciency of exist- 
 ing laws. The hero, Saccard, a daring and unscrupulous financier, promotes a Universal 
 Bank, and is opposed and ultimately ruined by the Jewish fraternity, whose power he 
 aimed at destroying. Full of recognizable portraits, or composite portraits, of actual 
 people — venal legislators, promoters, brokers, journalists. Reproduces actual incidents 
 with little disguise. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 The Dovsfnfall (La Debdcle) [1892]. 1892 
 
 A naturahstic account of the disastrous campaign that ended in Sedan as it was seen and 
 
 endured by two private soldiers who were in the thick of the fight. Not only are the awful 
 reahties of modem warfare brought before the eye, but the intolerable fatigue of the 
 marching, the agonies of the hospitals, and the degradation and misery experienced by 
 prisoners of war are depicted with ruthless force. Still more tragic are the episodes of 
 revolution and massacre inside beleaguered Paris, where the pair of devoted friends meet 
 again as Communist and Versaillist. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto; by 
 E. P. Robinson, $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Doctor Pascal [1893]. 1893 
 
 Here Zola concludes and sums up the results of the Rougon-Macquart cycle. Doctor Pascal, 
 the learned student of heredity (no doubt a study of the famous savant Claude Bernard), 
 draws up the genealogical tree, and traces the development of each branch, seeing therein 
 an image of society and an explanation of its mysterious laws. The romantic interest 
 centres in his passion for his niece Clotilde, which is treated as gracefully and inoffensively 
 as a thoroughly sensuous art permits : the end is deeply tragic. Such a scene as the death 
 of the anaemic boy in the presence of his imbecile ancestress, who has bequeathed his 
 constitutional debility, is an epitome of the family history. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 
 3s. 6d., Chatto ; by Mary J. Serrano, $1.50, Macmillan, New York.] 
 
 Lourdes [1894]. 1894 
 
 First of a new series. The Three Cities, investigating moral tendencies. A sceptical abbe, 
 Pierre Fromont, visits Lourdes, Rome, and Paris, in search of a power sufiicient for the 
 present and future salvation of mankind. The obsolete superstition of Lourdes and the 
 arrogant ecclesiasticism of Rome are condemned in turn, and finally, in Paris, the seeker 
 examines and bans the pohtical and social system of France. Fromont journeys first to 
 Lourdes in the company of an invahd girl who loves him. The pilgrims' train, with its 
 display of every disease that science can name, is described with minute and sometimes 
 disgusting fullness; then the processions and ceremonies before the sacred grotto are 
 elaborately depicted, and after that the return, with the various effects on the sufferers 
 of the religious excitement. Zola tested the cures by examining people who professed to 
 be eye-witnesses, and was unable to authenticate a single case. [Transl. by E A. Vizetelly, 
 3S. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 568 
 
NINETEENTH CENTURY, FOURTH QUARTER 
 
 Zola, Emile Edouard Charles Antoine (continued). — Rome [1895]. 1896 
 
 His humanitarian appeal for a new religion, La Nouvelle Rome, having been denounced by 
 the Congregation of the Index, the Abb6 goes to Rome and succeeds in obtaining a personal 
 interview with the Pope ; but his efforts to win the head of the Church to his views are 
 fruitless. The Eternal City is described with the minuteness and exactness of a guide- 
 book, with hving pictures of the streets, the passers-by, the very dirt, and the whirl of 
 human forces and social influences at work — a bewildering complexity. But Rome is 
 moribund, because she fails to respond to the cry of the democracy ; she is immovable in 
 her conservatism, and hopelessly paralysed by the material ambition of the Curia. [Transl. 
 by E. A. ViZETELLY, 3s. 6d., Chatto ($1.50, Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 Paris [1897]. 1898 
 
 The Abb6 returns to Paris, and engages in charitable work amongst the poor. The complex 
 life of Paris is deUneated with the same fullness ; all parts of the community being passed 
 in review, the governing classes with their far-reaching intrigues and personal ambitions, 
 the world of rich financiers and hcentious devotees of pleasure, the industrial classes and 
 the very poor, the workers in the cause of scientific progress, and the underworld of agita- 
 tors and conspirators. A thread of melodramatic inteast is attached to an anarchist 
 outrage, and indeed anarchism is regarded with sympathy, though the author sees health 
 for mankind only in intelhgent work. In a family of obscure fighters in the cause of 
 humanity, Pierre Fromont, now unfrocked, finds a wife and a new career of usefulness, 
 the lesson being that science is destined to supersede Christianity as the regenerating 
 power of humanity. [Transl. by E. A. Vizktelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto (2 vols., $2, Macmillan, 
 New York).] 
 
 The Honour of the Army ; and other Stories [various years]. 1887 
 
 The title-story, Le Capitaine Burle, about an officer's loose life and dishonesty, contains an 
 account of a duel. The next is an incredible tale of the resurrection of a buried man. 
 Then comes an unpleasant story of loose Parisian life and immoraUty. The Inundation 
 is one of his more imaginative essays, and Na'is Micoulin has much of the Southern rich- 
 ness of Proven9al scenery. Nantas is one of the best short pieces, admirable in its brevity 
 and concentration. The Spree at Coqueville is a Rabelaisian tale of village topers, and 
 shows Zola in the rare character of a humourist. [3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Fruitfulness (Fecondiie) [1899]. 1900 
 
 Begins another series, Les Quatres Evangiles, which he never Kved to complete. The object 
 was to give a conspectus and a criticism of modern Hfe in France, and to shadow forth 
 the writer's ideals of progress towards a better industrial and social organization. The off- 
 spring of Fromont appears here (in the twentieth century) as the patriarch of a hundred 
 children, and symbolizes with his wife the principle of fruitfulness both in human pro- 
 creation and in the cultivation of the earth's products. This pair is contrasted with the 
 decadent disciple of Tolstoy, whose doctrines the teaching of the book diametrically 
 opposes. Proclaims the hope of humanity to consist in healthy work and multiplication 
 of the species, and in its pictures of domestic love and happiness shows the best side of 
 Zola's nature. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto ($2, Doubleday, New York).] 
 
 Work [Travail) [1901]. 1901 
 
 Scene, a provincial town, the wretched inhabitants of which are employed in a huge factory 
 belonging to a capitahst of the worst and most selfish type. On the one hand we are shown 
 the tyranny of capitalism and the moral corruption of the rich man's home, on the other 
 we watch the rise and ultimate prosperity of a co-operative factory, founded by Luc 
 Fromont as a rival to the other. Here Zola's characteristic realism is illustrated side by 
 side with his no less characteristic ideahsm, disclosing in concrete shape his hopes and 
 aspirations towards mankind's future. [Transl. by E. A. Vizetelly, 3s. 6d., Chatto; 
 $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 Truth (Verite) [1903]. 1903 
 
 This third novel was to have been followed by a fourth. Justice, but the series was cut short 
 by Zola's death. The scene is laid in the world of French schools, and the story of a judicial 
 crime in which a Jewish schoolmaster is the victim obviously is meant as a perversion of 
 the Dreyfus case. The Church and the rehgious orders are attacked with implacable 
 ferocity, and certain of the characters are open to identification. [Transl. by E. A.

 AuDOUX, Marguerite. Marie-Claire [1910]. 1911 
 
 In the introduction, Mr. Arnold Bennett describes the genesis of this httle masterpiece, the work 
 of a sempstress, and, indeed, the record of her own Ufe. Whether " a divine accident," as 
 he calls it, or a product of rare genius, the book, in style and composition, and in economy 
 of means, is an example of the finest impressionist art. Interprets the inner sense of 
 childhood ; the characters and incidents of convent life, the indoor and outdoor Ufe of 
 a farm in the Sologne, being Umned with deUcate, indelible touches, as if she were 
 transcribing the impressions of things on her inmost soul. [Transl. by J. N. Raphael,

 Bazin, Rene Fran9ois Nicolas Marie [h. 1853]. A Blot of Ink [Une Tache d'encre) 
 [1888]. • 1892 
 
 A pretty sentimental comedy, effectively bringing out the antipathy between town and country 
 people. A student upsets some ink over the manuscript of a professor who is reading in 
 the Bibhothdque Nationals, and incurs his displeasure, the incident causing various 
 complications when the student falls in love with the professor's daughter. [Transl. by

 This, my Son (Les Noellet) [1890]. igo8 
 
 M. Bazin stands in Uterature for the old ways — the Church, the aristocracy, peasant proprietor- 
 ship. Here he elaborates a tragedy to show how the son of a Vendfean farmer makes a 
 fatal mistake in despising the life of his father, securing an education by pretending that 
 he wants to be a priest, and trying to satisfy his ambitions by going to Paris. 
 
 Redemption [De Toute son dme) [1897]. 1908 
 
 The daily Ufe, the pleasures, the love affairs, and the dreams of the young girls in a miUinery 
 estabUshment at Nantes, form the milieu, in which Henriette, the head milUner, devotes 
 her whole soul to a work of redemption in brightening the Uves of those about her.

 Autumn Glory ; or, The Toilers in the Field (La Terre qui Meurt) [1899]. 1899 
 
 The last pages in the history of a yeoman family in the marshes of La Vendue, who have been 
 on the land longer even than the old nobiUty, and now are forced to leave it. Represents, 
 in idyllic fashion and with tragic melancholy, the inroads of modernity, the fall of ancestral 
 houses, and the collapse of estates. Old Lumineau is a peasant that Millet might have 
 painted. [Transl. by Mrs. Ellen Waugh, 6s., Jarrold, Norwich.] 
 
 — The Children of Alsace (Les Oberle) [1901]. 1912 
 A novel inspired with passionate love for the soil of Alsace, and with equally passionate 
 
 feeling for its people living under foreign rulers, laws, and culture. The Oberli family is 
 divided into those who accept and those who kick against the German regime. Dramatized 
 and acted in 1902. [Transl. with pref . by A. S. Rappoport, 6s., Stanley Paul.] 
 
 — The Nun (L'Isolee) [1905]. 1908 
 An attempt to excite odium against the Fre/ich Government for their expulsion of the reUgious. 
 
 Describes the Ufe of five nuns in Lyons and their ministrations among the poor. When 
 they are ejected, the timid and sensitive Sister Pascale falls a prey to a handsome black- 
 guard, and goes to the dogs. [2s. n., Nash ; $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 By Faith Alone (Le Ble qui Leve) [1907]. 1908 
 
 Returns to the ideaUzed picturing of nature, landscape, and the simple beauty of country Ufe, 
 in which M. Bazin had already rivaUed, in his own way, the rustic novels of George Sand. 
 A story of peasant Ufe in the Nivernais, extolling the virtues of fraternity — not of the 
 pattern held out by trade unions and SociaUsts, but on the model of a working com- 
 munity, which he describes, in Belgium, directed by Jesuits. The labour troubles of the 
 woodcutters in Nievre, the patient efiorts of a viUage priest, and the misfortunes of landed 
 gentry who fail to do their duty combine to point the moral. [6s., Nash; sub tit. The

 Bordeaux, Henri [b. 1870]. The Parting of the Ways {La Croisee des Chemins)

 A clever physician ambitious of a career in pure science, and a society girl who accepts when 
 she thinks him conducive to social success but throws him over when at the call of duty 
 he buries himself in his native Dauphine — in these two and the homely, loyal wife who 
 becomes the mother of the doctor's children is signified a double contrast, ambition and 
 duty, the garish lure of Paris and the peace and beauty of sub- Alpine Dauphine. [Transl.

 BouRGET, Paul Charles Joseph [b. 1852]. A Love Crime {Un Crime d' Amour) [1886]. 
 
 1887 
 Illustrates the clear, unbiassed, scientific method of M. Bourget in his earlier novels. A dissec- 
 tion of the minds of two persons involved in a guilty Uaison : the man a careless libertine, 
 who sees nothing in the intrigue but a pleasant adventure ; the woman, a passionate 
 creature, who looks on it as the very object of her existence. Her punishment is to dis- 
 cover her lover's real character ; his comes from the poisoning influence of his own egotism. 
 [3s. 6d., Gibbings.] 
 
 Andre Cornells (Andre Cornelis) [1886-7]. 1889 
 
 Traces with the same remorseless psychology the history of a man who sets himself to discover 
 the murderer of his father when the detectives have utterly failed, and who perseveres in 
 spite of opposition from his relatives and the consciousness that success will bring misery 
 on his dearest and best. [is. 6d. n.. Greening.] 
 
 A Living Lie [Mensonges) [1887]. 1896 
 
 A similar diagnosis of sexual passion divorced from love. Sad and repellent as a story, yet 
 a superb example of M. Bourget's keen and searching analysis of the human soul.

 hood and E. Tristan (Lotus Library.) 
 
 — - The Disciple {Le Disciple) [1889]. 1898 
 
 Psychological analysis carried out with as much scientific accuracy as if an elaborate experi- 
 ment were being reported. Thesis, the fatal effect of a great philosopher's abstract doc- 
 trines on the mind of an egoistic disciple. Intended as a warning of the evils to be feared 
 from sceptical philosophies that perhaps dissolve the bases of morals, and as an antidote 
 to some of his own works. Poorly translated. [6s., Unwin ; $1.50, Scribner, New 
 York.] 
 
 A Woman's Heart [Un Cceur de Femme) [1890]. 1891 
 
 A study of conduct and manners in which keen analysis is tempered with too complacent 
 picturing of the refinements of modern luxury. The duality of the feminine nature is the 
 philosophical theme. Translation largely expurgated, [is. 6d. n.. Greening ; sub tit. 
 Was it Love ? 25c., Hurst, New York.] 
 
 Pastels of Men {Nouveaux Pastels) [1891]. 1892 
 
 Studies of character and motive, of which the novelette entitled A Saint may be taken as a 
 specimen. A mercenary and ambitious literary man outrages, by a mean theft, the 
 hospitahty of an Italian ecclesiastic. The saintly old man, guardian of a deserted monastery, 
 heaps coals of fire on the head of the youth by presenting him with the coins he had 
 taken, and, as it were, saves his soul. The manner and method of M. Bourget's model, 
 Henry James, is constantly brought to mind by these sketches. [Transl. by Katherine 
 P. WoRMELEY, 2 parts in i, Si. 50, Little & Brown, Boston : o.p.] 
 
 A Saint ; and others (Un Saint) [1893]. 1894 
 
 The Saint is already noted under Pastels. The other stories in this small^sample collection 
 of M. Bourget's short stories are typical of his more popular manner. [3s. 6d., Harper, 
 London.] 
 
 The Blue Duchess (La Duchesse Bleue) [1893]. 1902 
 
 A rewriting of Trois dmes d' artistes, produced in his early and excessively psychological period. 
 A painter, a dramatist, and an actress are the exponents of the thesis that art may be 
 moral whilst the artist is ignoble and abject, [is. 6d. n., Greening.] {

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 BouRGET, Paul Charles Joseph {continued). — A Tragic Idyll {Une Idylle Tragique) 
 [1896]. 1896 
 
 Two friends in love with one woman in the demi-monde at Cannes ; the heroine " a neuras- 
 thenic lady in search of passion through divers essays of dreamy fancies." Bourget always 
 paints the wealthy pleasure-seeking classes of French Society, and dwells with delight 
 on all the apparatus of luxury, furniture, works of art, etc. [Transl. by Wm. Marchant, 
 I1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Some Portraits of Women (Voyageuses) [1897]. 1898 
 
 Six essays in psychological analysis done in various parts of the world ; the subjects drawn as 
 usual from the section of society in which luxury and the race for pleasure are the para- 
 mount interests. [Transl. by Wm. Marchant, $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Domestic Dramas (Drames de Famille) [1899]. 1900 
 
 Three studies in the psychology of modern hfe: Un Homme d' Affaires deals with the 
 vengeance of a deceived husband, who forces his reputed daughter to give up the man of 
 her choice ; in The Day of Reckoning two parents appropriate trust-money in order to 
 give their only son a suitable education. As always, the author shows the hidden working 
 of emotion and motive. [Transl. by W. Marchant, $1.50, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Divorce : a Domestic Tragedy of Modern France {Divorce) [1905]. 1906 
 
 Afproblem-novel attacking French marriage laws, and upholding the strict view of the Roman 
 
 Catholic Church as to the evil of divorce. The characters are all anatomized in M. Bourget's 
 best psychological style — the hard-hearted, free-thinking engineer married to the divorcee, 
 and her son Lucien, another kind of free-thinker, whose love affairs go awry through the 
 reUgious scruples of his mother and the comphcations of the laws. [Transl. by E. L. 
 Charlwood, 6s., Unwin.] 
 
 The Weight of the Name {L'Emigre) [1907]. 1908 
 
 A marshalUng of the conflict between aristocracy and democracy, religious devotion and free- 
 thought, in the person of an ambitious and energetic young man, son of a marquis, who 
 sees every career closed to him by the inveterate feud between his caste and the repubUc. 
 The personal tragedy of the situation, the conflict of ideas, desires, and, presently, of 
 emotions — when the young man loves a bourgeois woman — are set forth with the usual 
 psychological elaboration, and their national significance is clearly demonstrated. [Transl. 
 by G. B. Ives, 6s., Gay & Hancock ; $1.50, Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 BoYXESVE, Rene [&. 1867]. The House on the Hill : a Story of French Country Life. 
 
 " 1904 
 
 Quiet deUneation, with something of the graciousness of Cranjord, of hfe in a httle town in 
 Touraine. The petty jealousies and misconceptions, the teacup tragedies and ostracisms 
 — amounting in the chief instance to social boycott — are described as they appear to a 
 child's eyes ; and a large body of characters, of whatever degree of importance, are each 
 drawn carefully to scale, with considerable piquancy and humour. [Transl. by James 
 Hutchinson, 6s., Nutt.] 
 
 Claretie, Jules Arsene Amaud \b. 1840]. Agnes : a Romance of the Siege of Paris. 
 
 1909

 the Commune. [Transl. by Ada Solly-Flood, 3s. 6d., Stock.] 
 
 FoRMONT, Maxime. The Child of Chance {Le Semeur) [1907]. 1908 
 
 A strong, suggestive study of an abnormal case, that of a woman forbidden to marr5^ who 
 dehberately and without passion realizes the mission of woman — maternity. [6s. (Si. 50), 
 Lane.] 
 
 " France, Anatole " [Jacques Anatole Thibault; b. 1S44I. The Crime of Sylvestre 
 
 Bonnard [1881]. 1891 
 
 Sylvestre Bonnard is a dehghtful old savant, gourmand, and sentimentahst, who hves by 
 
 himself among his books, sees a few visitors, and indulges his philosophic humours. His 
 
 affection for the daughter of his old love induces him to become her guardian ; and his 
 
 crime consists in his capturing her by a ruse. Among the most humorous passages are 
 
 572 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 the determined attempts of the heroine's governess to secure the old man as a husband. 
 The tender cynicism of the old epicurean is the very accent of the commentary on Ufe 
 expressed throughout the novels of Anatole France. [Transl. by Lafcadio Hearn, 6s. 
 ($2), Lane, 1908.] 
 
 "France, Anatole" [continued). — Balthazar [1890]. 1909 
 
 A medley Hke I'Aiui de Nacre, early Christian and hagiographical and modern themes. Bal- 
 thazar is an unfamiliar version of the Bible tale of the Magi. [Transl. by Mrs. John Lane, 
 6s. ($2), Lane.] Honey-Bee, a long story for " old-fashioned children," has been issued 
 separately also at 5s. [5s. ($1.50 n.). Lane, 1911.] 
 
 Thais {Thais) [1890]. 1909 
 
 A story of ancient Egypt, Alexandria, and the Thebaid, that challenges comparison with 
 Flaubert's Teniation de St. Antoine. The philosophers and courtesans, epicures and Chris- 
 tian anchorites, are viewed in the Ught of a sceptical Parisian's philosophy, and depicted 
 with irony and double-edged banter. A debauchee turned hermit is the chief figure. 
 He essays the perilous errand of converting the courtesan Thais, the hght o' love of his 
 unregenerate days. He is successful ; but the image of carnal beauty lost haunts him 
 in his cell and drives him from salvation. [6s. n., Carrington ; transl. by R. B. Douglas, 
 6s. (I2), Lane.] 
 
 Mother of Pearl (L'Etui de Nacre) [1892]. 1908 
 
 Sixteen short stories and sketches of a very miscellaneous kind, rehgious, hagiographical — 
 in the ironical way of M. France — and frankly modern. The famous Procurator of Judcsa 
 is among them, and the not less characteristic — though its tender humanism is such a 
 contrast to the sardonic story of Pilate — Our Lady's Juggler. Poorly translated. [Transl. 
 by A. Allinson, ed. by Frederic Chapman, 6s. (I2), Lane.] 
 
 At the Sign of the Queen Pedauque [La Rdtisserie de la Reine Pedauque) [1893]. 
 
 igii 
 
 The conversations and adventures — amorous, bacchanaUan, and others — of the motley fre- 
 quenters of an eating-house in early-eighteenth-century Paris. Foremost in interest 
 among these strange creatures is the Abbe Coignard. a monk of abandoned habits, child- 
 like disposition, and powerful intellect. M. France has dug his style out of the old monkish 
 books, and his inimitable irony has acquired thereby a richer and more humorous savour. 
 [Transl., 6s. ($2), Lane; by J. A. V. Stritzko, 3s. 6d., Gibbings, 1910.] 
 
 ■ The Red Lily {Le Lys rouge) [1894]. 1908 
 
 The ironical story of an emotional, self-indulgent Frenchwoman's liaisons with two men, the 
 second of whom she loves with passion. Peculiarly interesting for its portraits ; the 
 bohemian poet Choulette is in all probabiUty Verlaine, the sculptor Dechartre is M. 
 France himself (Paul Vence, the essayist, is put there as a blind), and Miss Bell, Mary 
 Robinson. Translation defective (see Sat. Rev. and Athencsum) . [Transl. by Winifred 
 Stephens, 6s. ($2), Lane.] 
 
 The Garden of Epicurus [Le Jardin d'£ficure) [1894]. 1908 
 
 Little essays, sketches, aphorisms, as luminous as Joubert's, and other miscellaneous items 
 from magazines and journals — various facets of the author's urbane personaUty and ripe 
 wisdom. The crowning treasure of the book is How I Discoursed one night with an Apparition 
 on the first Origin of the Alphabet, an imaginative survey of history, in which dry old facts 
 and legends are endowed with a new and most convincing life by the sheer irradiation of 
 the writer's common sense. The translations are correct enough in this series, but rarely 
 give any sense of the exquisite felicity and delicacy of the original. [Transl. by Alf. 
 Allinson, 6s. ($2), Lane.] 
 
 The Well of Saint-Clare ; and other Stories {Le Puits de Sainte-Claire) [1895]. 
 
 1908 
 
 A kind of ecclesiastical and hagiographical Decameron ; supposedly stories in the Tuscan 
 dialect told by an old priest, who beUeved in God on the evidence of Holy Scripture and in 
 accordance with the teachings of the Church, and laughed at those simple philosophers 
 who beheved in Him on their own account without being under any obUgation to do so.

FRENCH FICTION 
 
 " France, Anatole " {continued). — The Wicker- Work Woman {Le Mannequind' Osier) 
 [1897]. 1910 
 
 First of the series entitled L'Histoire Contemporaine , comprising L'Orme du Mail, Monsieur 
 Bergeret a Paris, and L'Anneau d'Amethyste (1899), in which M. France, who had sided 
 with Zola in the Affaire, girds at the Anti-Dreyfusards. Here we have M. Bergeret and 
 others discoursing on contemporary poUtics, Uterature, philosophy, Ufe, etc. [Transl. bv 
 M. P. WiLLCocKS, 6s. ($2), Lane.] 
 
 The Elm-Tree on the Mall : a Chronicle of Our Own Times {L'Orme du Mail) 
 
 [1897]. 1910 
 
 One of the series L'Histoire Contemporaine. A set of old cronies in a provincial town chat 
 together about all manner of things — people, society, and politics. [Transl. by M. P. 
 WiLLcocKS, 6s. (S2), Lane.] 
 
 The Merrie Tales of Jacques Tournebroche ; and. Child Life in Town and 
 
 Country {Les Contes de Jacques Tournebroche ; Filles et Garpns — nos Enfants) 
 [1900]. igcg 
 
 Jerome Coignard reappears in one of these stories in an adventure as fine as any in La Reine 
 Pedauque. Charlemagne and his paladins, the Dominican friars, and other primitive 
 figures from the dark ages and the Renaissance, perform in characteristic roles, to which 
 the modern chronicler gives an ironical import. [Transl. by A. Allinson, 6s. ( $2), Lane.] 
 
 The White Stone {Sur la Pierre Blanche) [1905]. 1909 
 
 A Socratic discussion on the present and the future of mankind, by a party of intellectuals 
 met in the Forum of Rome. The author's critical and sceptical mind traverses the course 
 of history, reviews the Yellow Peril and the White Peril — ^to the Yellow races — and 
 perceiving a fataUstic movement in the tendency of things prophesies a new order in which 
 capitaUsm and national government will have yielded to the advance of Sociahsm. [Transl. 
 by C. E. Roche, 6s. ($2), Lane.] 
 
 Penguin Island {L'lle des Pingouins) [i 908]. 1909 
 
 An ironical history of the human race — ^past, present, and future — ^in the annals of the Penguins, 
 a nation of birds which were accidentally baptized in mistake for men. More cynical, 
 though less morose, than Swift's Gulliver, and more destructive in its mockery. In a 
 style parodied from some hagiographical legend, it describes the unfortunate blunder of 
 the aged saint who evangehzed the Penguins, and wild burlesque is carried down through 
 the ages, until, in still distant cataclysms, over-civilization comes to wreck. Pessimism 
 was never expressed in more daring persiflage. The satire of French history is of more 
 limited interest, and the elaborate ridicule of the Dreyfus case rather a bore. [Transl. 
 by A. W. Evans, 6s. ($2), Lane.] 
 
 La Vergne, IVIme. Cecile Josephine Julie. The Spire of Caudebec. 1909 
 
 A slight story of the fifteenth century. [Transl. by Constance, Countess de la Warr, is. n..

 " Le Notre, G." [Louis Leon Theodore Gosselin ; b. 1857]. The House of the 
 
 Combrays. 1903 
 
 The Chouans, Georges Cadoudal, etc. (1804-14). More of an historical study than a novel, 
 
 the author adhering scrupulously to fact even in matters of detail, and making careful 
 
 investigation. [Transl. by J. B. Gilder, with introd. by Victorien Sardou, $1.50, 
 
 Dodd & Mead, New York ; 6s., Harper, London.] 
 
 " LoTi, Pierre " [Louis Marie JuUen Viaud ; b. 1850]. Rarahu {Le Mariage 
 de Loti) [1880]. 1890 
 
 Like many, perhaps the majority, of Loti's stories, this is a fragment of half-disguised auto- 
 biography. Its theme is that of Atala, the loves of a civiUzed man and a savage. Atala 
 was deliberately designed as a poem in prose ; this, far more spontaneous, is quite as much 
 a poem, the lyrical emotion of the writer breaking into passionate laments for the sad- 
 ness of satiety and the brevity of joy. Rarahu is a girl of Tahiti who is loved and then 
 abandoned by a sailor. The child-hke soul of the savage, the sensuous charm of the tropic 
 
 574 
 
PRESENT DAY 
 
 isles, the ephemeral ecstasy of passion — all this is invested with a glamour that haunts ; 
 but the poignancy is in the refrain — the littleness of human life measured against nature 
 and eternity. Originally entitled Rarahu : idylle polynisienne. [Transl. by Clara Bell, 
 2s. 6d., Paul : o.p.] 
 
 "LoTi, Pierre" [continued). — The Romance of a Spahi (Le Roman d'un Spahi) 
 
 [1881]. 1890 
 
 A French soldier's life in Africa, and his affairs with a negress. Jean is another of Loti's creatures 
 
 made all of impulse, and the book is a fine revelation of the enervating and debauching 
 
 effect of the African cUmate and free intercourse with natives upon a European nature of 
 
 weak stamina. [Transl. by M. L. Watkins, 50c., Rand & McNally, Chicago.] 
 
 My Brother Yves {Man Frhre Yves) [1883]. 1887 
 
 A long and rambling novel, containing the most vivid and imaginative word-pictures of the 
 sea in its innumerable aspects, and not less beautiful and sensuous descriptions of the 
 landscapes, flowers, and summers of Brittany ; through all of which runs the character- 
 istic undertone of melancholy. The story is a most affecting idyll of friendship between 
 the midshipman Loti and a humble friend and shipmate, a drunken but staunch and 
 delightful Breton sailor. [Transl. by Mary P. Fletcher, 2s., Vizetelly : o.p.] 
 
 An Iceland Fisherman [Pecheur d'Islande) [1886]. 1887 
 
 Equal to the last as a poetic rendering of the Ufe and wonder of the sea, and his masterpiece 
 
 of construction and pathos. A story of the utmost simpUcity, the loves of a Breton girl 
 and a Breton sailor, a fisherman in the stormy seas of Iceland, their two years of hesitation, 
 the brief and merry wedding festival, the sailor's departure never to return. The one 
 theme beats through it as in a fugue — the fleetingness of joy, the sadness of inexorable fate. 
 [5s., Maxwell : o.p.] 
 
 Madame Chrysantheme (Madame Chrysantheme) [1887]. 1897 
 
 The amusing interlude of Loti's temporary Haison with a dainty Japanese in Nagasaki, who 
 
 seems to have bored him. The character of the Japanese is presented ironically and un- 
 fairly, but the scenery is exquisitely done. [Transl. by L. Ensor, 2s. 6d., Routledge 
 ($1.25, Dutton, New York).] 
 
 A Child's Romance (Roman d'un Enfant) [1890]. 1891 
 
 Dreamy, half-poetical reminiscences of his own childhood spent in a beautiful country-side, 
 
 which is lovingly depicted as a harmonious background, unspoiled by the inroads of 
 modernity, and peopled by primitive, old-world folk. A recurring motive is the 
 pathos of the difference between the child-world as it lingers in memory and the 
 real scenes when the man revisits them. [Transl. by Clara Bell, 50c., Gottsberger, 
 New York : o.p.] 
 
 The Book of Pity and Death (Le Livre de la Pitie et de la Mori) [1891]. 1892 
 
 Detached studies, in which recurs over and over again as a leitmotif the sentiment of human 
 annihilation and the pity we owe to the lower creatures. The Sorrow of an Old Convict 
 is a pathetic Uttle tale of a prisoner and his pet, and The Life of Two Cats charmingly 
 inculcates tenderness for dumb animals. [Transl. by T. P. O'Connor, 5s., Cassell : o.p.] 
 
 A Phantom from the East (Fantdme d' Orient) [1892]. 1892 
 
 A sequel to Aziyadi (1879), the tragic history of a European's love for a Circassian slave in a 
 
 harem. Both books are intensely lyrical ; the sequel is a passionate lament for happiness 
 that has flown. Loti returns to the scene of his amour after seven years of absence, and is 
 awakened at last to the greatness of Aziyade's love and sacrifice. The beautiful scenery 
 of Constantinople and its romantic environs is the theme of long descriptive passages. 
 Throughout all Loti's romances the autobiographic substratum is apparent. [Transl. 
 by J. E. Gordon, 3s. 6d., Unwin : o.p.] 
 
 Ramuntcho (Ramuntcho) [1897]. 1897 
 
 An idyll of the Basque country, the tale of two childish lovers whose parents are bitter enemies. 
 
 As usual, Loti discourses most exquisite music on the pathetic fallacy. The sadness of 
 the tale seems to be the inmost expression of the forlorn and beautiful landscapes 
 of this Pyrenean borderland. [Transl., 75c., Fenno, New York.] An intervening story, 
 Matelot (1893), the most lachrymose and ultra-sentimental of all his books — the life and 
 death of a French marine — has not yet been turned into English. 
 
 575 
 
FRENCH FICTION 
 
 " LoTi, Pierre " (continued). — Disenchanted {Les Desenchantees) [1906]. 1906 
 
 Expresses the new pangs, the crushed hopes and stultified longings of the modem Turkish 
 
 lady, who has received a Western education, but cannot free herself from the revolting 
 
 slavery of the harem. Constantinople and the shores of the Bosphorus are described in a 
 
 long succession of enchanting pictures. [Transl. by Clara Bell, 6s. ($1.50), MacmiUan.] 
 
 Margueritte, Paul [b. i860] and Victor [h. 1866]. The Disaster [Le Desastre) 
 [1898]. 1898 
 
 First member of a series — Une Epogue — half history, half fiction, deaUng with the terrible 
 events of 1 870-1. Zola's Downfall was written from the point of view of the common 
 soldier; 'these represent the views of the officers, being written by the sons of the brave 
 General Margueritte. This novel describes the disastrous campaign on the N.E. frontier, 
 particularly the operations round Metz ; it is minutely and exactly true in detail, and the 
 prolonged agony of the beleaguered army is vividly depicted. [Transl., is. 6d. n., Green- 
 ing ; transl. by F. Lees, 3s. 6d., Chatto.] 
 
 Les Tron9ons du Glaive [1900]. 
 
 Les Braves Gens [190 1]. 
 
 These two sequels, dealing with La Defense Naiionale {1870-1) and episodes (1870-1), continue 
 the narrative with the siege of Paris, and the movements of the armies of the North and 
 the East, and of the two armies of the Loire, the French soldier and the peasant being 
 carefully studied. [No English translation.] 
 
 The Commune {La Commune) [1904]. 1904 
 
 Concludes the series with an impartial account of the Commune, based, like the three foregoing, 
 on a painstaking study of the events and a sympathetic consideration of the causes. 
 Full of deep pity for the unhappy workmen of Paris who hoped to regenerate society 
 by establishing the Commune. Compared with the knowledge, insight, and seriousness 
 shown in these four, most of the other novels dealing with the time are mere adventure 
 stories. Not, however, very artistic — the imaginary episodes are sandwiched in with the 
 actual history, the design being to present the tempestuous scenes of insurrection, riot, 
 and massacre as they appeared to the eyes of typical characters. Not a meritorious 
 translation. [Transl. by F. Lees and R. B. Douglas, 6s., Chatto.] 
 
 Vanity {Vanite) [1907]. 1907 
 
 More a piece of sociological analysis with a definite thesis than a novel. Theme, the vanity of 
 money-making, expounded in the members of a wealthy bourgeois family whose outward 
 careers and inner life are laid bare in the style of Balzac and Maupassant. [Transl. by 
 K. S. West, 6s., Chatto.] 
 
 Ohnet, Georges [b. 1848]. Serge Panine ; or, Can you Blame Her ? {Serge 
 Panine) [1881]. 1883 
 
 A drama of passion, resolving itself into a duel between a resolute bourgeois of noble character 
 and an aristocratic wastrel. Worked out with a playwright's knowledge of mise-en-scine. 
 One of the few works of Ohnet's that have found favour with critics. Under the general 
 title of Les Batailles de la Vie he wrote a series of novels deaUng with social life, in a more 
 or less popular, melodramatic vein : these have been severely handled by the leading 
 critics. [Transl. by Jessie Hamilton, Tubbs, Manchester : o.p. ; 2s., Vizetelly: o.p.] 
 
 The Ironmaster ; or. Love and Pride {Le Maitre de Forges) [1882]. . 1884 
 
 Like the following, portrays the wealthy bourgeois classes and the fringes of the aristocratic 
 
 Society with which they are in more or less intimate contact, and lays emphasis on the 
 solid virtues of the former. Here we have the daughter of a baroness wedded to an honour- 
 able and magnanimous plebeian, whom she wrongs, but she is won from indifference to 
 passionate love by his admirable conduct. [3s. 6d., is. n., Warne ; |i, 75c., Rand & 
 McNally, Chicago.]

 Doctor Rameau [Le Docteur Rameau) [1888]. 1888 
 
 A very dramatic novel, in which a man eventually discovers that the girl he had beheved

 for her. [Transl. by Mrs. Cashel Hoey, 2s., Chatto ; 75c., Lippincott, Philadelphia.]

 [Transl., 3s. 6d., Gibbings ; 75c., Brentano, New York.] 
 
 - — A Last Love [Dernier Amour) [1889]. 1890 
 
 A good average specimen of his working out of a melodramatic plot. Here it is a contest between

 The Lady in Grey (La Dame en Gris) [1895]. 1895 
 
 A gruesome murder by a ruffian of the type dear to Eugene Sue, and a liaison of the kind

 Private life and manners at Rome. The loves of Tolla Boccadileone with Prince Constantine

 ROLLAND, Romain \b. 1866]. John Christopher [1904-12]. 1910, in progress. 
 A biographical novel, in about a dozen volumes ; subject, a musical genius born in a 
 small German ducal town, beginning with his actual babyhood, and so copious and dis- 
 cursive that it almost reaches the scale of a social treatise. Among the most luminous 
 and enchanting books of the long recital are those relating to his infancy and comradeship 
 with the fine old grandsire, formerly chief musician at the ducal court. There is great 
 pathos in the history of the family poverty, the father's drunkenness (cf. Beethoven's 
 father), the mother's heroism ; but the true interest is in the effect of these things on Jean 
 Christophe's mind. Trained observation, searching insight, and a philosophic criticism 
 of life and society are brought to bear on every phase of his development. We see the 
 young musician composing — almost unconsciously— his first piece, the stage-fright of

 his first appearance in public, his hesitations and misgivings when he takes the headship 
 of the family ; the dawn of love — an episode treated with rare psychological penetration ; 
 and so on to the artistic triumphs and vicissitudes of maturity ; all these episodes being 
 handled with the same admirable balancing of attention upon the inner and the outer 
 aspects of Ufe. M. RoUand is an idealist with a strong didactic inspiration ; and his belief in 
 a regenerated Europe, with the'best forces of French nationaUty heading the triumphant 
 attack on materiaUsm, plutocratic corruption and luxury, gives breadth of view to his

 The struggle going on in France between the two ideals of life, the moral and religious and the 
 sceptical and pagan, is poignantly figured in the tragic love-story of a young gentilhomme 
 de province, descended from Jansenists and brought up by a " saintly " mother in the most 
 rigorous asceticism, and a woman from the gay Parisian world. Mme. Tinayre traces the 
 effect of the clash of characters and hostile ideals in the most natural and convincing 
 way ; and in the bower of bhss attached to the old manor-house and in the beautiful 
 country-sides provides a most artistic and harmonious setting. [Transl. by A. Smith,

 Scene, a country place in the department of the Lot. In the doctor's noble child, Denise, 
 and her tragic love-story the tender humanism of Mme. Tinayre is finely displayed ; 
 the close of the book is sad and pessimistic. [Transl. by A. Allinson, 6s. (I1.50, Lane.]

 Life of Quintus Fixlein. Dumb Love is a charming idyll of two lovers who could not 
 speak to each other ; with some supernatural and comic effects. Libussa is a pretty myth 
 about the origin of Bohemia, told in a homely style which also gives charm to Melechsala, 
 the tale of a captive crusader rescued by the daughter of the Egjrptian Sultan (cf . Huon of 
 Bordeaux) . In Eckbert, Tieck mingles the wonderful and mysterious with commonplace 
 reaUty, in a gloomy tale of fatalism. Eckart is a fine old knightly legend of Burgundy, and 
 The Runenberg a version of the Tannhauser myth. In The Elves, we have the fairy world 
 depicted as kind and lovely to those who are innocent and good. The Gobletis a symbolist 
 story of a magic vessel, and teaches a subtle moral. For Quintus Fixlein see under 
 Richter. Schmelzle is an exaggerated portrait of a coward ; an inimitable caricature of a 
 single foible, rather overburdened with Jean Paul's incurable drollery. [(Library edn.),

BEFORE 1800 
 
 Faustus : the History of the Damnable Life and Deserved Death of Dr. John 
 Faustus ; translated into English by P. R. [correctly P. F.], Gent. 1592 
 
 The Second Report of Dr. John Faustus ; containing his appearances and the 
 deeds of Wagner. 1594 
 
 The former book is of high interest as being the direct source of Marlowe's greatest play. It 
 is a translation from the German Faustbuch, published at Frankfort, 1587, or from the 
 reprint that probably appeared in 1588 ; the chapters were reduced from 68 to 62. The 
 German author was evidently a man of powerful imagination, even though he borrowed 
 from traditionary sources. The real Faustus was, in all probability, " a miserable charla- 
 tan," and by no means the large, heroic spirit imagined by the poets ; and the Faustbuch 
 represents an intermediate stage between the actual man and the later idealizations. In 
 the darker passages an extremity of physical horror is reached that Poe or Meinhold could 
 not surpass. The translator deserves credit for his strong, natural, and straightforward 
 English. The Second Report [a translation of the Wagnerbuch (1593)] is supposed to be 
 written by an English gentleman, student in Wittenberg, where Faustus hved and sold 
 himself to the devil. It adduces evidence as to the authenticity of the story, and then 
 goes on to recount the doings of Wagner, the servant of Faustus, especially how he aided 
 the Christians in a great war with the Turks in Austria. It is inferior in every way to the 
 former work. [Both in Thoms's Early English Prose Romances, see p. 9.] 
 
 Gellert, Christian Fiirchtegott [1715-69]. The Life of the Swedish Countess von G. 
 
 {Das Leben der Schwedischen Grdfin G.) [1746]. I747 
 
 A sentimental novel inspired by Richardson's Pamela. The heroine, flying from a persecuting 
 
 husband, meets with extraordinary and most improbable adventures, the recital of which 
 
 is seasoned with moral reflections, [o.p.] 
 
 Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von [1749-1832]. The Sorrows of Werther {Die 
 Leiden des jungen Werther) [1774]. . 1801 
 
 A world-famous book that gave imaginative utterance to the longing and despair of an age 
 saturated with sceptical philosophy and with the sentimentalism of Rousseau. Werther 
 represents a phase of Goethe's own mental history. Lotte Buff, Kestner (Albert), and the 
 young Jerusalem who shoots himself out of love for another man's wife, are undisguised 
 figures from his experiences at Wetzlar. Werther, the ardent and impulsive idealist 
 (Jerusalem-Goethe), falls hopelessly in love, and dies rather than endure the pangs of 
 renunciation. Written in the form of a journal (1771-2), it is an intimate and poignant 
 study of a mind diseased, and therewithal a dramatic picture of the people and the society 
 among whom his lot was cast. [Trausl. by W. Render : o.p. ; transl. by R. D. Boylan

 Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship {Wilkelm Meister's Lehrjahre) [1778-96] . 1839 
 
 A study of culture in the widest sense of the word, tracing the Kfe of a man from boyhood 
 to maturity, recounting his youthful dreams and aspirations, his love, his first contact 
 with the world and the loss of his illusions ; in short, the whole process by which he finds 
 his true place and duties as a citizen of the human world, and abandoning merely in- 
 dividual aims accepts his position and so ends his apprenticeship. The various phases are 
 handled with extreme elaboration ; the story of William's life as an actor is so carefully 
 told, with such profound disquisitions on the education and growth of an actor and on 
 the dramatic art, that this has been often asserted to be the aim of the book. It is full 
 of various and beautiful characters, of imaginative and poetical passages, of a broad, 
 humane philosophy ; as Goethe said, it is " an incalculable work." Sir John Seeley reads 
 its intention as follows : " That we should give unity to our hves by devoting them with 
 hearty enthusiasm to some pursuit, and that the pursuit is assigned to us by nature 
 through the capacities she has given us." Goethe said, " In the novel it is chiefly senti- 
 ments and events that are exhibited ; in the drama, it is characters and deeds." " The novel- 
 hero must be suffering, at least he must not in a high degree be active." WiUielm does 
 nothing, intends nothing, is the sport of circumstances and emotions ; and many other 
 characters seem to exist simply to luxuriate in the varieties of sentimental experience.

 presents to the infant Christ. Their bodies were taken by St. Helena to Constantinople, 
 were rescued from the Saracens and carried to Milan, and translated finally to Cologne, 
 1 164 A.D. There are further legends about Prester John, king of the Tartars, and descrip- 
 tions of Oriental countries embodying the best geographical knowledge of the time. It 
 is interesting to trace the small effect of the rhetorical Latin on the homely and plodding 
 translator. [Edited from the MSS., together with the Latin text, by C. Horstmann,

 Laroche, Marie Sophie von {nee Gutermann ; 1731-1807]. The History of Lady 
 
 Sophie Sternheim [Fraiilein von Sternheim) [1771]. 1776 
 
 A story of love intrigue at a petty German court, and the emotional experiences of a young 
 
 lady hotly pursued by two noble libertines. Wieland is said to have revised this novel, 
 
 which is of interest as showing Richardson's influence in Germany. See, on the other

 Raspe, Rudolph Eric [1737-94; attrib. to]. Travels and Surprising Adventures

 A mock-serious recital of absurdly impossible feats and adventures — now a byword for extra- 
 vagant braggadocio — originally intended as a satire on the Memoirs of Baron de Trenck. 
 The authorship is attributed to Raspe, a German emigrant to London, and editor of 
 Leibnitz and other works in Enghsh. A sequel (1792) was "humbly addressed to Mr. 
 Bruce, the Abyssinian traveller," then seriously regarded as a De Rougemont or Dr. Cook.

 RiCHTER, Jean Paul Friedrich [1763-182 5]. The Invisible Lodge [Die unsichtbare 
 Loge) [1793]. 1883 
 
 A romance containing a good deal of allegory and poetical criticism on man and his position 
 in the world, the dualism of his spiritual and carnal nature, and the mockery of human 
 society. A young author is educated by a genie in an underground dwelling, that he 
 may behold nature with soul unspoiled — an imaginary version of Richter's own emotional 
 life. [Transl. by C. T. Brooks, |i. Holt, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Hesperus ; or, Forty-five Dog-Post Days [1794]. 1865 
 
 Another poetical romance, very much involved, and embracing a great number of personages. 
 
 The mystical hero loves a semi-divine being, an idealization of woman. Told in letters 
 brought to the author by a dog. [2 vols., Trubner : o.p. ; 2 vols , $2, Holt, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Flower, Fruit, and Thorn Pieces ; or, The Wedded Life, Death, and Marriage 
 
 of Firmian Stanislaus Siebenkaes, Parish Advocate in the Parish of Kuhsch- 
 nappel (Blumen-, Frucht-, und Dornenstiicke) [1796]. 1845 
 
 A strange combination of real Ufe, dream, and philosophic reverie ; the plot — thin and vague 
 as always in Jean Paul — incidents in the history of an ill-assorted marriage between a 
 poet and a good, dull woman. The upshot is fantastic and equally vague. The poet is 
 made happy by the beautiful Natalie, a personification of feeUng, imagination, poetry.

 De Quincey borrowed several of his grandiose dream-pieces from this book, which con-

 RiCHTER, Jean Paul Friedrich {continued). — Quintus Fixlein {Leben des Quinhts 
 Fixlein) [1796]. 1827 
 
 Much in the same vein of domestic fiction, perhaps a Uttle nearer to actuality ; the style 
 just as whimsical and digressive, pirouetting like a tumbler, incapable of plainness or 
 simplicity, except in passages of deep feeUng, where Richter becomes simple, straight- 
 forward, powerful, e.g. Fixlein and Thiennette's awakening to love. Passion in its divinest 
 and chastest is expressed here in characters the most moving and spontaneous. Some of 
 the grandest examples of Jean Paul's cosmic eloquence are in this book, [o.p.] 
 
 Titan : a Romance [1799-1803]. 1863 
 
 Like the foregoing, the history of certain problematic characters, and of the reaction of the 
 real world upon a priori theories and ideals. Chief personage, a German prince, who is 
 brought up in ignorance of his rank, and ascends the throne as an enlightened monarch, 
 destined to be a blessing to his people. Among other figures whose natures are of an 
 exaggerated, " Titanic " order, is the heroine, studied from Mme. von Kalb, " the Aspasia 
 of Weimar " ; she is a woman of great talents and self-reliance, who has no reHgion or 
 law but the dictates of her own being ; and this, the tragedy teaches, is her ruin. In 
 Flegeljdhre {1804—5) Richter makes another attempt to realize his ideal of human per- 
 sonaUty, but as usual digresses widely from his philosophic object. See also Carlyle's

 Schiller, Johann Friedrich von [1759-1805]. The Ghost-Seer (Der Geisierseier) 
 [1785-9]. 1795

 being fully explained to the reader ; intended apparently as an antidote to the extrava- 
 gance of Gothic romances, but in effect an incentive to their popularity. Left uncompleted.

 Exemplified in the Singular Adventures of Don Sylvio de Rosalva : a History

 [1764]. 1773 
 
 A fanciful imitation of Don Quixote, ostensibly satirizing the fairy-tales which were then in 
 
 fashion. Sylvio is possessed by an absurd beUef in the reahty of fairy-land, and with 
 
 his Saucho, Pedrillo, encounters a series of strange adventures, which eventually bring 
 
 him back to sanity. Also refers, though unobtrusively, to Wieland's own em^cipatiou 
 
 from the visionary enthusiasm of his early period. [Edited by E. A. Baker (Lib. of Early

 The History of Agathon [1766-7]. 1773 
 
 Wieland's own mental history in disguise. Brought up at Delphi, Uke the Ion of Euripides, 
 
 Agathon has been initiated into the Orphic theosophy, and is imbued with the lofty ideal- 
 ism of Plato. But his innocence succumbs to the temptations of the world, and his phil- 
 osophy to the sophisms of an Epicurean. In the conclusion that Wieland afterwards 
 wrote, Agathon finds the ideal of his life-long quest in the sage Archytas, and learns once 
 more to trust in wisdom and purity. [4 vols., Cadell: o.p.] 
 
 The Republic of Fools : being the History of the State and People of Abdera 
 
 in Thrace {Die Abderiten) [1774]. 1861 
 
 A stupid fiasco in his native Biberach, where he was town clerk, gave Wieland the idea of repre- 
 senting Abdera and its inhabitants at the time when the " laughing philosopher " Demo- 
 critus was a citizen, and Euripides and Hippocrates were visiting the metropolis of dullness. 
 The absurdities come to a pitch in the famous lawsuit about the ass's shadow. One of 
 those universal satires that are a permanent rebuke to the folhes of mankind. [Transl.

 had branded as a hypocritical sensualist. Shows how far Wieland had travelled from the 
 
 scoffing paganism of his middle period towards a nobler view of human life and conduct.

 "Alexis, Willibald" [Georg Wilhelm Heinrich Haring ; 1798-1871]. The Burgo- 
 master of Berlin {Der Roland von Berlin) [1840]. 1843 
 A fifteenth-century story. One of the best of a series of romances by a successful imitator of the 
 Waverley novels — " Walter Scott of the Mark " — deahng with the history of Branden- 
 burg. Haring first attained popularity by his Walladmor (1823), described as "freely 
 translated from the Enghsh of Sir Walter Scott, with a preface by Wilhbald Alexis." 
 This deceived even Scott's admirers. [Die Hosen des Herrn von Bredow (1846-8), /segnmm

 Haring. 3 vols., 31s. 6d., Saunders & Otley : o.p.] 
 
 AuERBACH, Berthold [1812-82]. Spinoza: the Life of a Thinker [Spinoza: ein 
 Denkerleben) [1837]. 1882 
 
 Auerbach's studies of the Spinozan philosophy led to the abandonment of his intention to 
 enter the Jewish priesthood, and the beginning of his literary career. This is an ideahzed 
 biography of the man in the form of a novel, faithfully recording the cardinal events 
 of Spinoza's hfe {1632-77) — the Spanish persecutions, his love for a Christian girl, excom- 
 munication from the Synagogue, etc., together with the essence of his philosophy, in 
 conversations that reproduce verbally the Ethics and Tractatus. [Transl. by E. Nicholson, 
 2 vols., Tauchnitz, Leipzig {4s. n., cloth, Low).] 
 
 Poet and Merchant [Dichter und Kauffmann) [1840]. 1877 
 
 A picture of life from the times of Moses Mendelssohn (c. 1729-86). [I1.25, Holt, New York : 
 
 o.p.] 
 
 Village Tales from the Black Forest (Schwarzwdlder Dorfgeschichten) [1843]. 1849 
 
 Village tales of Southern Germany, sketching in a charming way the simple people of these 
 secluded valleys ; though ideahstic, preserving their pecuhar traits, and throwing side- 
 hghts on German conditions early in the nineteenth century. They are saturated with 
 Auerbach's philosophy, a legacy from Spinoza, and teach that we should try to compre- 
 hend motives and never despise or ridicule. Many of the peasants themselves are rustic 
 philosophers. [Transl. by J. E. Taylor, 6s., Bogue : o.p. ; by C. Gopp, $i. Holt, New

 The Professor's Wife : a Tale of Black Forest Life (Die Frau Professorin) 
 
 [1847]- 1851 
 
 In Lorle, the innkeeper's daughter, pure in heart, simple, devout, the author bids us see 
 " a type of the original form of humanity, the primeval completeness, in its perfection, 
 undisturbed by the twofold forces of history and culture." Married to an ambitious 
 painter, she stifles amid the artifices and falsehoods of Society in a German Court town, 
 and their union ends in grief and disappointment. The author's hopeful and benign 
 philosophy is an integral part of the tale ; but the narrative is quite simple and straight- 
 forward and there is no resemblance to a problem-novel. [Transl., London, 1851 : o.p.; 
 transl. by F. E. Hynam, 6s., Drane, 1903.] 
 
 Little Barefoot (Barfussele) [1856]. 1872 
 
 A dehcate, child-Uke fairy-tale of peasant hfe, with a barefoot maiden for heroine. Very 
 characteristic of Auerbach in his simpler style ; rendering faithfully the dull, grinding 
 hfe of the German village, but combining with these reaUstic elements the beauty of ideal

 AuERBACH, "Beithold (continued). — Christian Gellert ; and other Sketches. 1858 
 
 Idylls of German provincial life and rural character : the first a study of the poet Gellert, 
 
 and the rude but sensitive countryman who repays him in his own way for the benefit 
 
 of his verses (1715-69). The Stepmother, with its thoroughly German characters and 
 
 environment, is a humorous tale. [3s. 6d., Sonnenschein, 1882.] 
 
 Edelweiss (Edelweiss) [1861]. 1869 
 
 A Black Forest idyll of greater length than the TaZes, depicting tjie homely life of a clock- 
 making community. The married life of a clockmaker and the innkeeper's daughter, who 
 with her pride and unjust reproaches leads him a miserable Ufe, till a terrible accident 
 awakes her to her error. A pathetic tale, with a few ghnts of humour, teaching how 
 daily intercourse becomes in time a mutual education. [Transl. by E. Frothingham, 
 $1.25, Holt, New York : o.p.] 
 
 — On the Heights (Auf der Hohe) [1865]. 1867 
 The best of his definitely philosophical romances, an elaborate story of Court and village life, 
 
 which are contrasted for didactic purposes. The king in a German state slights his pure 
 and high-souled queen by loving a maid-of-honour. Discovering the intrigue, the queen 
 separates herself from Jier husband, while Irma, though saved from suicide, livesahumble 
 Ufe of toil in the country, and alone with the contemplation of her sin, arrives at last at the 
 serenity of repentance. The book is full of theoretical ideas on life and conduct, put in 
 the mouth of the different personages. [Transl. by F. E. Bunnett, 3 vols., Tauchnitz,

 Ebers, Georg Moritz [1837-98]. An Egyptian Princess [Eine agyptische Konigs-

 Ebers was a learned Egyptologist, decent at Jena, and professor at Leipzig. He travelled in 
 Egypt, and in 1867-8 pubUshed his monumental work, Egypt and the Books of Moses. 
 The object of his romances was definitely educational, to convey a knowledge of Egyptian 
 history and antiquities in a popular way. They are not, however, a slavish reconstruction 
 of bygone ages ; the writer deals with his materials imaginatively, and makes his characters 
 think and feel as modem Europeans. He takes some historic personages, such as Cambyses, 
 Amasis, or Sappho, and weaves fact and fiction together, not refraining from an occasional 
 anachronism. Here the action opens in Hellas, passes into Persia, and finally makes 
 Egypt the theatre of events. [Transl., 2 vols., Tauchnitz, Leipzig (4s. n., cloth. Low) ;

 The conspirators are among the chief characters. ; the more agreeable ones including the 
 daughter of Rameses, the half-Greek Uarda, and the poet Pentaur, hero of the national 
 epos. Contains a really valuable mass of learning about manners and habits of life, re- 
 Ugious rites and superstitions, and the various currents of thought, rationalistic and re- 
 actionary. The plot is a modern one of infants changed at birth, and a happy resolution 
 of difficulties crowned by marriage ; motives and passions those of our own time. [Transl.,

GERMAN FICTION 
 
 FouQUE, Friedrich Heinrich Karl, Baron de la Motte [1777-1843]. Undine [1811]. 
 
 1909 
 One of the most beautiful of modern imitations of the primitive folk-tale. Based on a legend 
 from Paracelsus. A water-nymph by marrying a mortal gains a soul, but with it all the 
 pains and penalties that are the lot of mortality. Fouque manages to invoke the haunting 
 sense of mysterious beauty and dread that overwhelms one in hstening to Schubert's folk- 
 songs. [Adapted by W. L. Courtney, illustv. by A. Rackham, 7s. 6d. n., Heinemann ;

 Aslauga's Knight (Aslauga's Ritter). 1827 
 
 Aslauga, the daughter of Sigurd and Brynhild, is mentioned in the Volsunga Saga. The good 
 
 knight Froda, inspired by the accounts of her beauty and nobility which he has read in 
 ancient books, devotes himself to her service, and she endues him with irresistible prowess. 
 The earthly love-story of Froda, Edwald, and Hildegardis, and the supernatural matters, 
 are combined with the same dehcate and unconscious art. [Transl. by Carlyle (Ger-

 Franzos, Karl Emil [1848-1904]. The Jews of Bamow [Die Juden von Barnow) 
 
 [1877]. 1882 
 
 Pathetic stories of Jews in a PoUsh ghetto, with little narrative interest, capturing the reader's 
 
 sympathies by the humanity, the suffering and fortitude of these uncouth characters 
 
 set amid such grim surroundings. [Transl. by M. W. Macdowall, 7s. 6d., Blackwood :

 For the Right (Das Kampf ums Recht) [1882]. 1888 
 
 The hero, an unlettered peasant, as village judge is inspired with an indefatigable zeal for 
 
 justice, and through good and evil report strives for the right. Laid in the region of the 
 Carpathians, giving us a view of the Slavonian country people, and of the institutions of 
 old Austria (1835-49). [3s. 6d., J. Clarke.] 
 
 Frenssen, Gustav [b. 1863]. The Three Comrades (Die drei Getreuen) [1898]. 
 
 1907 
 A story of Hfe at home on the coast of Schleswig-Holstein whilst the Franco-German war was 
 going on. [6s., Constable ; Si. 50, Dana Estes, Boston.] 
 
 Jorn Uhl [1901]. 1905 
 
 Frenssen is the novehst of Schleswig-Holstein, the country and inhabitants, the colour and 
 
 atmosphere of which he portrays, not only with convincing fidelity, but with clear, cahn, 
 philosophic vision on the one hand, and on the other with a poetic imagination that makes 
 these hard- worked toilers on the barren soil as impressive as the figures in Millet's pictures. 
 This is his simplest and finest story, and Jorn Uhl's ill-fated efiorts to save the family 
 acres admirably enunciate his sage and wholesome philosophy of life. It may be compared 
 with Bazin's La Terre qui Meurt, as a picture of the break-up of the old farming aristocracy ; 
 but the moral idea is deeper, and the pathos of human Ufe in general expressed in a more 
 impressive and far-reaching way. [Transl. by F. S. Delmer, 6s., Constable ; $1.50, Dana 
 Estes, Boston.] 
 
 Holyland (Hilligenlei) [1906]. 1906 
 
 A confused and confusing novel, describing the humble seafaring folk on the borders of the 
 German Ocean, with the same reaUsm, but losing the design in the details. Kai Jans 
 in his purity and self-abnegation symbolizes Christ, a Christ bhndly striving to find his 
 heavenly Father, and to bring heaven down upon earth, but eternally baffled by the 
 incurable defects of human nature. [Transl. by Mary Agnes Hamilton, 6s., Constable ; 
 $1.50, Dana Estes, Boston.]

i8oo TO THE PRESENT DAY 
 
 Frenssen, Gustav (continued). — Peter Moor's Journey to South-West Africa {Peter 
 Moor's Fahrt nach Sudwest) [1906]. 1908 
 
 The German war of extermination against the Herreros (1904), related from the point of view 
 of a peasant volunteer. The unspeakable horrors of warfare in the bush, the ravages of 
 thirst, hunger, and disease among the soldiers as well as the hunted natives, and the whole 
 monstrous absurdity of the death-struggle, in which Peter and his comrades are the blind 
 instruments of a ruthless policy of expansion, are brought crushingly before us with all 
 Frenssen's imaginative realism. [Transl. by Margaret May Ward, 4s. 6d. n.. Constable 
 ($1.25, Houghton, Boston).] 
 
 Klaus Heinrich Baas : the Story of a Self-made Man [1909]. 191 1 
 
 Tells how the son of a farm labourer in Holstein, by dint of imagination, business energy, and 
 endurance, wins commercial success and also the self-knowledge which Frenssen prizes 
 so much higher. Peasant Ufe in a village and market-town of Ditmarch, and the crowded 
 metropolitan life of Hamburg, are presented with clear understanding of the sad realities 
 as well as the false glamours of modern existence. [Transl. by E. E. Lape and E. F. Read, 
 6s. ($1.50), Macmillan.] 
 
 Freytag, Gustav [1816-95]. Debit and Credit {Soil und Haben) [1855]. 1856 
 
 A realistic study of German society about 1848, illustrating the efiects of the industrial revolu- 
 tion in making the middle class the backbone of the country. The struggle for existence 
 is represented by a proud baron, member of an effete aristocracy, endeavouring to stave 
 oS. ruin by entering into commerce, and a wholesale grocer whose mercantile enterprises 
 are successful. There is considerable humour in the characterization. Freytag's prejudices 
 as a native of Silesia come out strongly in the way Teutonic virtues are contrasted with 
 the racial foibles of Jew and Slav, and Prussian rights are advanced to the hegemony of 
 Germany. [2s., Ward & Lock : o.p.] 
 
 The Lost Manuscript {Die Verlorene Handschrift) [1864]. 1865 
 
 A study of the scholarly side of German life, the experiences of a professor at Leipzig University 
 
 in his search for the lost books of Tacitus, and the inner life of the University, set forth 
 with plenty of incident and varied character-drawing. The professor does not find the 
 MS., but he wins an adorable maiden. Later on, however, he becomes so absorbed in his 
 labours that he neglects his wife, who is embarrassed by the attentions of a libertine prince.

 Our Forefathers : Ingo and Ingraben {Die Ahnen ; Ingo und Ingraben) [1872]. 
 
 1873 
 The first of a series of romances which proposed to trace the history of a German family from 
 the fifth-century immigration to the founding of the new German Empire, and scf exhibit 
 the permanence of the heritage from the past and its value as a factor in the social evolu- 
 tion. Thuringia, in 357 a.d., is the scene. Ingo is a fugitive Vandal prince at the period 
 of the great migration, who fights with the Alemanni against the Romans, and after his 
 escape takes refuge at the Thuringian Court. Ingraban is his descendant in the time of 
 Charlemagne, and comes into contact with the Christian missionaries labouring among the 
 barbarous Slavs. [Transl. by Mrs. Malcolm, 2 vols., 21s., Asher; Ingo, |i, Ingraben, %i.

 1893 
 The lover finds the original of a portrait that he has fallen in love with to be the ill-used wife

 Marie of Lichtenstein (Lichtenstein) [1826]. 1897

 Hausrath, Adolf D. ["George Taylor"; b. 1837]. Antinous : an Historical

 Hadrian's famous minion (117—30) is the chief figure in this romance, with his dreams and 
 despairing act of suicide. The character of Hadrian, the tricks and the virtues of contem- 
 porary paganism, the contentions of the Christian Church, are all set forth with a careful 
 attention to history and archaeology. [6s., Longman.] 
 
 Klytia : a Story of Heidelberg Castle [1881]. 1883 
 
 Germany torn by contending sects, Lutherans, Calvinists, and Catholics (1570) ; Erastus

 A domestic novel; scene, an old home on the Baltic shore, interest centring in the hves of 
 three women of different character. Depicts the petty details of quiet, homely life, old- 
 fashioned manners, and restrained emotions. Typical of many novels by this authoress.

 Among the most beautiful of these Novellen are the title-story, and Doomed, Beatrice, The 
 
 Beginning and End. All characteristic of his method of interpreting human and social 
 
 Ufe ; shadowy and ideahstic, concentrating chiefly on mental and emotional elements. 
 
 [Transl., Tauchnitz, Leipzig (2s. n., cloth, Low).] 
 
 The Children of the World (Die Kinder der Welt) [1873]. 1882 
 
 His finest novel ; a typically German story, keenly interesting as a faithful reflection of the 
 pessimism and scepticism then dominant in German thought, and further as expressing 
 the hopes and jubilation which followed the victory over France. Very imaginative in 
 form and treatment, rising into poetry now and then, and full of thought and criticism 
 of Ufe. [3 vols., 31s. 6d., Chapman : o.p. ; ?i.25. Holt, New York.]

 La Marchesa : a Story of the Riviera ; and other Tales. 1887 
 
 Three uncommon stories (including Her Excellency's Daughter and A Divided Heart), all sad ; 
 
 the inner life of passion and feeling, the deeper springs of character revealed with a

 he was made a councillor in the supreme court, and won considerable reputation as 
 a jurist. Hoffmann's imagination was as morbid and macabre as Poe's, though he had 
 not the same power of pyschological suggestion. He borrowed ideas from the established 
 school of fantastic story-tellers — Richter, Tieck, von Arnim, Chamisso — and from folk- 
 lore, embelUshing what he took with his own grotesque and often diabolical fancy. He 
 revelled in horrors, and not only made his readers' flesh creep, but was too fond of out- 
 raging their most sacred feehngs. There was, says Carlyle {Miscellaneous Essays, vol. i.), 
 ' ' in Hoffmann's character something player like, something false, brawling and tawdry, 
 which we trace both in his writings and his conduct . . . the light of his fine mind is not 
 sunshine, but the gUtter of an artificial firework." " He loved Art with a deep, but scarcely 
 with a pure love, not as the fountain of Beauty, but as the fountain of refined Enjoyment ; 
 he demanded from it not heavenly peace, but earthly excitement." The Sand-Man and 
 Master Martin the Cooper may be read as examples of Hoffmann at his very best. [A new

 A fair specimen of this prolific writer's sentimental fiction. Illustrates the unsettled state of 
 
 the country after the Franco-German war, the troubles caused by sudden alterations of 
 
 fortune, etc. [3 vols., Bentley : o.p. ; 51.50, Lippincott, Philadelphia.]

 Meinhold, Wilhelm [1797-1851]. Mary Schweidler, the Amber Witch {Maria 
 Schweidler die Bernsteinhexe) [1843]. 1844 
 
 Meinhold was an opponent of the Tiibingen school of Biblical criticism, and wrote this account 
 of what he describes as " The most interesting trial for witchcraft ever known," as an 
 authentic historical document, in order to show how easily such critics could be taken in. 
 The plain reaUsm, purporting to be the unvarnished statement of, an eye-witness, and the 
 frightful intensity of horror it conveys, rival Defoe's Journal of the Plague ; and it is not 
 to be wondered at that Meinhold deceived his readers completely, and succeeded to some 
 extent in discrediting the methods of the Tubingen critics. Pomerania- (1628-9), in the 
 torments of the Thirty Years' War, is the grim theatre in which Pastor Schweidler and his 
 daughter go through their terrible ordeal. A gruesome atmosphere of superstition and 
 diabolism pervades the book, and with this the characters, all firmly etched in, the spiteful 
 old witch, the libidinous sheriff, the timid judge, and the pious but mercenary pastor, are 
 well in keeping. But for the poetic justice of the end, one would take it for truth. [Transl.

 Sidonia the Sorceress ; the supposed Destroyer of the whole Reigning Ducal 
 
 House of Pomerania [1861]. 1893 
 
 Sidonia (executed 1620) having failed in her scheme to marry the young Duke Ernest Louis 
 von Wolgast, entered a convent, and subsequently by magic arts rendered the whole 
 princely race childless, forwhich she was beheaded and afterwards burned. Meinhold says, 
 " I do not here distinctly declare whether Sidonia be history or fiction." He introduces 
 his supernatural views of Christianity, in the behef that the Rationahsts will be more 
 hkely to peruse them if presented in a work not avowedly philosophical. [Transl. by

 Luise Miihlbach's novels are a patient and methodical amplification of the bare historical

 torical fact. The characters are all prominent people and nearly all historical, and the 
 result is a continuous narrative of high politics. Court hfe, diplomacy, and war, in which 
 personal motive and intrigue play a considerable part. It is, in short, history written in 
 the form of a novel. Arranged above in chronological order of events. [Each, |i,

 An Old Story of my Farming Days (Ut mine Stromtid) [1864]. 1878 
 
 Renter was the greatest writer in the popular and racy Platt-Deutsch dialect. He produced 
 a good deal of admirable verse, depicting the village life of his native Mecklenburg with 
 forcible reaUsm and plenty of humour; and then began a great series of prose tales 
 which in bold reaUsm, spontaneous gaiety, and tenderness easily surpassed all that 
 he had done before. This is Reuter's masterpiece. It deals with common, everyday 
 life, and aims at no exaggeration or effect ; but with the deep, imaginative insight into 
 human nature, and the vitahty belonging to great art, it gives us a picture of real life in 
 rural Mecklenburg unsurpassed for truth and engrossing charm. The queer old bachelor 
 Uncle Brasig is one of the most deUghtful originals in German fiction. Touches significantly

 In the lives of two servant-girls, peasants from Schwerin, of the family of a greengrocer, and 
 other Berlin people of the working class, Clara Viebig paints with photographic realism,

 stressed, but the better qualities of such sturdy characters as the household drudge Mina 
 redeem the picture from utter repulsiveness. No humour, and on the other hand, no didac-

 Erotica, or Leucippe and Clitophon, is the most successful imitation of the style of romance 
 exempUfied by Theagenes and Chariclea, and the nearest to Heliodorus in point of date. 
 Clitophon is supposed to tell the writer the whole story of his love for his cousin Leucippe, 
 their disastrous voyage to Alexandria, escapes from shipwreck, from robbers, from amorous 
 commanders, etc. Principal scenes. Tyre, Alexandria, and Ephesus. There is more 
 bustle and incident than in the Mthiopioa, and also more improbabihty. Incidents and 
 descriptions were borrowed from late Greek poets, and in turn served as models to romantic 
 poets and sentimental novehsts after the Renaissance. [Transl. by W. B[urton ?] ; also

 dramatized in Shakespeare's Pericles. There were numerous variants in the Middle Ages

 Barlaam and Josaphat. 1896 
 
 A book of enormous interest to students of folk-lore and of the successive transformations of 
 apologues and other stories in their passage from language to language. Eastern in origin, 
 its first appearance in Hterature being in Greek, among the writings of John of Damascus 
 (a Syrian monk of the eighth century) . Through the Latin, it was adapted in metrical or 
 prose form into most European languages, appearing as The Lyf of Saynt Balaam in Cax- 
 ton's edition of the Golden Legend (1483). A Middle EngUsh prose version was printed in 
 a prospectus by Dr. C. Horstmann in 1877 (see Jacobs' Barlaam and Josaphat). It is a 
 Christianized version of the history of Gautama, the Buddha, with whom Josaphat, son 
 of the persecuting King Abenner, has been identified. Josaphat, it has been predicted, 
 will acquire glory in another kingdom and adopt the faith persecuted by his father. He 
 is brought up in strictest seclusion, and only after a time learns of the ills to which humanity 
 is liable : disease, poverty, and death. He hears of the Christian religion from the eremite 
 Barlaam, who in the disguise of a merchant teaches him the true faith and the blessedness 
 of cehbacy. Associated in the Government with his father, he spreads Christianity, and 
 after Abenner's death surrenders the crown, retiring to the desert to commune with Bar- 
 laam, whom he buries, and at length, after some years, himself passes away. An im- 
 portant feature of the work is the number of parables related by Barlaam. These 
 are found in the Kalilah ve Dimnah, etc., and have been adapted by innumerable story- 
 tellers. The most famous (through the Speculum Hystoriale of Vincent de Beauvais) is the 
 casket story utiUzed in the Merchant of Venice ; but the provenance and subsequent 
 history of the main and the subsidiary stories are questions that have yielded a hterature 
 of their own, the best compendium of which is J. Jacobs' Barlaam and Josaphat, English 
 Lives of Buddha [8s. 6d. n., Nutt, 1896], where Caxton's version is reprinted. 
 
 Chariton Aphrodisiensis. The Loves of Cheereas and Callirrhoe. 1764 
 
 Who Chariton was is unknown. This is an imitation of Heliodorus ; the fragment we have 
 beginning with the marriage of hero and heroine. Led astray by jealousy, Chaereas 
 brutally maltreats his wife, who is supposed to be dead, but is carried off from her tomb by 
 a pirate. She is sold to an Ionian prince Dionysius (concerning whom Dunlop says, 
 " Chariton is the first writer of romance who has introduced an interesting male character ") , 
 and persecuted by the attentions of the Satrap of Caria, but is eventually recovered by 
 Chaereas, now general of the Egyptian forces, who defeats the Persians in a great sea-fight.

 EuSTATHius. The Story of Hysmenias and Hysmene [gth-iath century]. 1788 
 A love-romance imitated from Hehodorus and Achilles Tatius, "the last and feeble example 
 of Grecian fiction" (Dunlop). Montemayor and d'Urf6 borrowed certain incidents. 
 Eustathius cultivated style, laboured his antitheses, and made a point of avoiding 
 hiatus. The only interesting part of the book is the series of digressions on art. [Transl.

 Heliodorus. An .Ethiopian History written in Greeke : very wittie and pleasaunt 
 [4th century]. 1569 
 
 Theagenes and Chariclea, often entitled ^thiopica ; written by Heliodorus, who was probably 
 Bishop of Tricca in Thessaly, born in Syria, lived at end of fourth century. The story 
 opens with a scene in the delta of the Nile, during the period before the Alexandrian wars 
 when Egypt was ruled by a satrap of the Persian monarch. Chariclea, who eventually 
 proves to be daughter of the King of Ethiopia, a lady of ravishing charms and Greek 
 complexion though of African Uneage, has just been captured by pirates. She and her. 
 ThessaUan lover Theagenes, who passes as her brother, escape during the confusion occa- 
 sioned by an attack on the outlaws. This is the prelude to a long series of adventures, 
 in which the lovers repeatedly fall into the hands of robbers, amorous satraps, and other 
 formidable personages, and invariably escape by means of stratagem, disguise, or un- 
 expected accident, the improbable history being concluded by the recognition of Chariclea's 
 royal birth, and union with Theagines. The descriptions of costumes, manners, and 
 
 596 
 
MODERN GREEK FICTION 
 
 ceremonies are picturesque, and of some interest to archaeologists. Chariclea is tolerably 
 well drawn, and the " sugared " sentiment made this a favourite pattern to story-writers 
 from the time of its first appearance down to the EUzabethan age, and even that of the 
 seventeenth-century romances of sentiment in France. Heliodorus imitated Homer, 
 Euripides, and to a less extent .^schylus, in incidents, construction, style, and also in 
 liis employment of supernatural machinery. [Enghshed by Thomas Underdowne, other

 LONGUS. Daphnis and Chloe : Excellently describing the Weight of Affection 
 etc., finished in a Pastorall, and therefore termed The Shepheards Holidaie. 
 By Angel Day. 1587 
 
 Nothing is known about LonguS, who is vaguely accredited to the end of second or beginning 
 of third century. This idyll is a late expression in prose of the pagan spirit of Theocritus, 
 Bion, and Moschus ; and, if it did or did not actually furnish a model to Tasso, Sanazzaro, 
 and Montemayor through Amyot's translation into French (1559) or otherwise, was un- 
 doubtedly imitated by many writers in the pastoral style, down to the author of Paul et 
 Virginie. Daphnis and Chloe are the adopted children of a goatherd and a shepherd on 
 the isle of Lesbos, and this is in the main the simple story of their learning to love and their 
 happy marriage. They are represented as hving in a state of nature and innocence ; they 
 love without restraint — and there is a lack of restraint in the recital of certain incidents ; 
 but this remains one of the purest expressions of simple passion and pagan revelling in 
 natural beauty ; and the harmonious composition and elaborate, sensuous style have been 
 happily reproduced by the translators into modern languages. [Edited by Joseph Jacobs 
 (Tudor Lib.), los. 6d., Nutt, 1890 ; transl. by Rev. Rowland Smith (see Achilles Tatius, 
 supra). This translator based his rendering on " an anonymous and ' select ' translation,"

 LuciAN [c. I20-C. 200 A.D.]. The True History. 1634 
 
 A broad satire on the poets and historians who purveyed extravagant tales, e.g. Homer and 
 Ctesias, who are cited by name, and many other dignified writers. Lucian relates how with 
 fifty companions he set sail through the Pillars of Hercules, and was carried up to the moon, 
 where they were enUsted by the monarch Endymion to fight against the armies of Phaeton, 
 King of the Sun. After numerous adventures of the most monstrous kind the ship is 
 swallowed by a sea-serpent a hundred miles long, in whose interior they visit wondrous 
 regions, but eventually sail out and reach the Happy Isles. Rabelais' voyage of Pantagruel, 
 Cyrano de Bergerac's wonderful travels, and the exploits of Swift's Gulliver are among the 
 populous Uneage of this incredible history. [Transl. by Francis Hickes (1634), illustrated

 A powerful, melodramatic picture of Hungarian life in the early years of the nineteenth century, 
 crowded with lurid figures, some of them typical of a people of strong passions, some purely 
 mythical creations. Scenes 6f startUng force, such as the one where a man decapitates his 
 wife, are characteristic of Jokai, whose romances are a blend of Scott and Dumas, with a 
 Magyar infusion of violence and fantasy. [Transl. by R. Nisbet Bain, 6s., Jarrold ; $1.25,

 'Midst the Wild Carpathians [1852]. 1894

 Sultan. [Transl. by R. Nisbet Bain, 5s., Jarrold, 1897 ; S1.25, Page, Boston.]

 dent prince of Transylvania ; and his Machiavelhan minister, Michael Teleki, Csaky, 
 Kucsuk, Feriz, Azrael, etc., reappear. A most exciting tale of a tumultuous period (1674-90), 
 and, it is af&rmed, not a bit exaggerated. [Transl. by R. Nisbet Bain, 6s., Jarrold.] 
 
 An Hungarian Nabob [1853]. 1898 
 
 A richly coloured picture of aristocratic Ufe (1822), just before the times of Szechenyi, full 
 
 of vivid, busthng scenes, various native characters, and humorous and dramatic incidents.

 retainers, wassaihng companions, women, gamblers, fools, gipsies. The plot relates to 
 the intrigues of his dissolute heir, and his marriage with a young girl which serves to 
 baflSe them. [Transl. by R. Nisbet Bain, 6s., Jarrold ; $1.25, Doubleday, New York.]

 The romanticized history of HaUl Patrona, a poor huckster, who headed a rebellion, dethroned

 romance. [Transl. by R. Nisbet Bain, 6s., Jarrold.]

 Francis A. Gerard, 6s., Jarrold {?i.50, Harper, New York).] 
 
 Timar's Two Worlds [Az arany ember, " A Man of Gold "). 1888 
 
 A kind of Magyar Monte Crista, though a thoroughly characteristic work ; wildly imaginative 
 and almost impossible in characters and incidents, faithful in treatment of scenery and 
 surroundings : the people delineated differ widely from Western types, being Oriental 
 and fantastic in traits. The action takes place in Lower Hungary, on or near the 
 Danube, and the passage of the Iron Gates is a memorable episode. [Transl. by Mrs. H.

 — Manasseh : a Story of the Stirring Days of '48 [1878]. 1901 
 
 Life among a primitive people hidden away in far Transylvania (1848-59). The opening

 to the pastoral simplicity and savage warfare that succeed. Somewhat abridged. [Transl.

 The story of a Nihilist conspiracy under Alexander I of Russia (1825) . Depicts realistically and 
 with strong individual characterization the various classes of the Russian people, the 
 stormy poUtics and seething discontent. Court intrigue affords some scenes of comedy.

 The Strange Story of Rab Raby [1879]. 1909

 ITALIAN FICTION— BEFORE 1800 
 
 Bandello, Matteo [1480-1562]. Le Novelle [1554-73]. 1890 
 
 Bandello, Bishop of Agen, was the most important of the Italian novellieri. His novella is a 
 popular story, derived from the French fabliau, full of spirited action, and true to the life 
 of his time, a dissolute period. The subjects and manner of treatment are extremely 
 various, tragic and comic, romantic and amatory, with a good deal of thin and rather clumsy 
 satire of the clergy, well exemplified by several in Pinkerton's selection. He constantly 
 boasts that they are founded on fact, and the actual incidents introduced are said to have 
 been very offensive to many famihes of high rank. His stories, of which there were some- 
 thing like two hundred, abound in powerful dramatic situations, of which the Elizabethan 
 playwrights made excellent use ; but as a rule they are singularly empty of personal 
 character. The Venetian romance of Gerardo and Elena, Corneho's comic adventures at 
 Milan, Don Diego's constancy, and his mistress Ginevra's stubbornness, and the grim tales 
 of Violante and Simone Turchi, are representative stories. Noblest of all is the Romeo and 
 Juliet, with the original cUmax, more subUmely pathetic than that adopted by Shakespeare 
 from a French adaptation. Beaumont and Fletcher's Triumph of Death was founded on 
 the tale of Violante. Many other Elizabethan plays took their plots from Bandello.

 Boccaccio, Giovanni [1313-75]. The Decameron [1358]. 1886 
 
 The stories in the Decameron are models for all time of one great class of fiction, the story 
 that is objective and told for its own sake, having no purpose beyond entertainment, 
 aiming at no interpretation of Ufe, non-moral and matter-of-fact, and not in any way 
 philosophical or poetical. A party of ten ladies and gentlemen, who have retreated to 
 a charming asylum from plague-stricken Florence in the year 1348, are supposed to tell 
 each other a hundred stories in ten consecutive days. Some of these are tragedies, some 
 comic, some idylls : love is always the favourite motive. Boccaccio took most of his plots 
 from the current fiction of his time, from the popular French fabliaux, from Oriental and 
 classical sources, from actual history and tradition. Many of the subjects are sensual 
 and very frankly dealt with ; but contemporary manners and morals, which are faithfully 
 reflected in the stories, must fairly be held responsible. [Transl. by John Payne (1886),

 rhetoric of the time. [With a selection of cuts from the Italian original of 1498, ed. by

 Giovanni Fiorentino, Ser. The Pecorone [1378 ; first printed 1558]. 1897 
 
 (II Pecorone = the Big Sheep, the Simpleton.) In inception, this book, the author and true 
 date of which are to some extent conjectural, was an imitation of the Decameron, especially 
 in the framework, a priest and a nun, in love with each other, telling stories alternately 
 and ending each with a canzonet. First come a number of amusing stories chiefly of 
 erotic adventure, which are not dissimilar to Boccaccio's, but not so licentious, though 
 free enough, and with a moral as a rule by no means on the side of the angels. There follow 
 a series of historical anecdotes recounting the feuds of Guelf and GhibelUne (Ser Giovanni 
 was himself a Guelf, but is fair to both sides), and of the Neri and Bianchi, with other 
 episodes in Florentine history of the fourteenth century ; and, finally, adaptations or ex- 
 cerpts from the Italian chronicles of Giovanni Villani (with whom our author is sometimes 
 identified), and even historical and legendary stories out of Livy. Like the other novellieri, 
 Giovanni borrowed from the Gesta Romanorum., the fabliaux, collections of Eastern stories, 
 and other available sources ; he shows more skill as a story-teller than as an inventor. 
 Variants of many of the tales will be found in Boccaccio, Straparola, Massuccio, Bandello, 
 Sacchetti, etc. ; Shakespeare used the story of Giannotto in the Merchant of Venice. 
 There is more of the bloom of Troubadour romance than we get in Boccaccio or Sacchetti.

 Marana, Giovanni Paolo. Letters writ by a Turkish Spy, who lived five and forty 
 years at Paris, giving an account of the most remarkable transactions of Europe 
 from 1637 to 1682 [1684]. 1687 
 
 L' Esploratore turco e le dilui relazioni segrete alia Porte ottomana (Parigi, 1684) is doubtfully 
 supposed to be the original, but the work may have emanated from France, the poUtical 
 afiairs of which are dealt with much more fully than those of Spain, England, and the 
 Italian states. It is one of those surveys of politics and society which came into considerable 
 vogue during the next century, and of which the most famous example is Montesquieu's 
 Lettres Persanes. La Suite de I'Espion Turc (1696) was attributed to C. Cotolendi ; it 
 went through numerous editions, most of which were entitled L'Espion dans les cours des 
 princes chritiens. [Transl. by W. Bradshaw and others from the French of Marana,

 Massuccio of Salerno [mid. i5tli century]. Novellino [1476]. 1895 
 
 A collection of fifty disconnected stories, bluntly realistic, after the manner of Boccaccio, 
 . and reputed to be the most licentious of the Italian novels. A few are in the vein of 
 genuine bu-ffo, a few are tragedies pure and simple, but the majority of the others either 
 satirize or castigate the clergy and unchaste women. He himself states that his tales are 
 founded on actual incidents ; and he was certainly less indebted than most of his colleagues 
 to the time-honoured fabliaux and folk-tales. [Transl. by W. G. Waters, illustr. by E. R.

 1907 
 A follower of Boccaccio, who did not, however, adopt the connected plan of the Decameron, 
 or.trouble much about artistic effect. A born raconteur, with a fund of experience accumu- 
 lated as a man of affairs, telling pithy stories of the life of his day, most of them anecdotes 
 of real occurrences chiefly of a humorous cast, others drawn from the fabliaux and the 
 Gesta Romanorum. [Transl. by Mary G. Steegmann, with Preface by Dr. Guido Biagi,

 Saint Mary Magdalene. The Life of Saint Mary Magdalen [c. 14th cent.]. 1903 
 A story that shows the same simple and childhke imagination as that of the mediaeval artists 
 who painted the storied windows in the churches. The author, probably a little ItaUan 
 burgher turned Franciscan, transfers to Palestine the scenery and manners of his own land. 
 He tells of the feast at Bethany, the death and restoration of Lazarus, and the tragedy of 
 Passion Week. Its pure and fervent piety and its quaintness have the charm of the Pre- 
 Raphaehte painters. [Transl. by Vajentina Hawtrey, 6s., Lane.] 
 
 Straparola, Giovan Francesco [d. c. 1557]. The Nights {Noite Piacevoli) [1554]. 
 
 1894 
 
 Seventy-four stories, related during thirteen nights by a company of ladies and gentlemen, 
 to amuse the Duke of Milan's daughter. They are derived from various sources — Italian 
 tale-tellers, including Boccaccio, the fabliaux, the Arthurian legends, Arabian hterature, 
 and folk-lore. Fantasy and fairy romance predominate, and many of the mythological 
 stories have attained wide popularity since in adaptations by Hans Andersen, Grimm, and 
 Perrault : Puss in Boots is perhaps the best known. There are also stories of knights 
 and of the bourgeois classes, and characteristic drolleries ; while the rich, voluptuous 
 hfe of the Italian nobility is depicted in warm colours as a background. [Transl. by

 Aleramo, Sibilla. A Woman at Bay (Una Donna) [1907]. 1909 
 
 An exceedingly frank and passionate statement of woman's right to freedom and sexual 
 
 equahty, in the autobiography of a refined girl driven by circumstances into a wrong 
 
 sort of marriage, which becomes such a living hell that she seeks escape in suicide. [Transl.

 Annunzio, Gabriele d' [b. 1864]. The Child of Pleasure {II Piacere) [1889]. 1898 
 
 D'Annunzio is the exponent of the pagan element in the ItaUan character, an element which 
 
 came out strongly in the poetry of Carducci. As in French Uterature of to-day Loti and 
 
 Anatole France stand opposed to Bazin and Maurice BarrSs, so d'Annunzio and Carducci 
 
 are opposed in temper and thought by Fogazzaro — and hardly any other. This is his first

i8oo TO PRESENT DAY 
 
 presentation of a type which reappears constantly as the hero of his romances. Sperelli, 
 a Roman poet, worshipper of beauty, devotee of art, completely absorbed in his own sen- 
 sations, is avowedly a rendering of the author's own personality. His life is merely the 
 commonplace existence of a young man about town with his innumerable amours, and 
 the real interest lies in the analysis of his emotions and the utter degradation of soul in 
 which he ends. From the dissolute crowd stand out the figures of this egotist and two of 
 his loves, one a second Lesbia, the other a pure and noble woman whom he corrupts.

 Annunzio, Gabriele d' {continued). — The Victim (L'Innocenle) [1892]. 1899 
 
 A simple, supremely tragic story of moral retribution falling on a husband for his unbridled 
 lust and egotism, and on his wife for an act of momentary weakness : the history of their 
 inner lives, with an extreme paucity of external incident. In the hero's brother the author 
 paints a man of high morality and affectionate disposition ; and this figure and that of the 
 grand old peasant Giovanni di Scordio are admittedly the fruit of his reading of Tolstoy. 
 [Trans, by Georgina Harding, 6s., Heinemann ; sub tit. The Intruder, Si .50, Page,- Boston.] 
 
 The Triumph of Death {II Trionfo delta Morte) [1894]. 1898 
 
 His most elaborate analysis of erotic emotion, terrible as an exposure of human sensuality. 
 
 The insatiable passion of the egoist Giorgio for Ippolyta, which demands more than 
 human nature can give, changes by a morbid process into homicidal mania. This story is 
 peculiarly the vehicle for the author's philosophy of individualism and hedonism, and the 
 influence of his reading in Tolstoy, MaeterUnck, Nietzsche, Zola, is obvious in numerous 
 passages. The episode of a visit to the sanctuary of Casalbordino, where the diseased and the 
 crippled are seeking miraculous relief, is more horrible in its description of repulsive sights 
 than anything in Lourdes. These three novels. The Romances of the Rose, constitute a trilogy, 
 linked together, not by identity of character or connection of events, but by unity of feeling 
 and thought. [Transl. by Georgina Harding, 6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Page, Boston.] 
 
 The Virgins of the Rocks {Vergini detle Rocce) [1896]. 1899 
 
 First of a new trilogy. The Romances of the Lily. A symbolical and poetic story, which has been 
 
 compared to a gorgeous canvas by Burne- Jones or Rossetti. The sensuous and egotistic 
 d'Annunzian hero, the degenerate Claudio Cantelmo, brooding over his dream of restoring 
 his famous house, comes in quest of a wife to a castle where dwell three beautiful ladies, 
 each the type of some spiritual excellence. The author exhausts his powers of sensuous 
 description in surrounding these fairy-like creatures with an atmosphere of poetry. The 
 other two volumes are to be entitled The Prodigy and The Annunciation. [6s., Heinemann ; 
 transl. by A. H. and G. Antona, sub tit. The Maidens of the Rocks, $1.50, Page, Boston.] 
 
 The Flame of Life {It Fuoco) [1899J. 1900 
 
 First of The Romances of the Pomegranate. The psychological history of a liaison, in which the 
 passion and self-submission of the woman (a great dramatic celebrity) are sacrified to 
 the genius — as he professes — but in reality to the capricious sensuality of Stelio, the 
 artist panting for all variety of sensations. Supposed to be an analysis of the author's 
 own amour. Full of d'Annunzio's aesthetic ideas and the interpretations of artists, e.g. 
 Michelangelo, Diirer, Wagner. To be followed by The Dictator and The Triumph of 
 Life. [Transl. by Kassandra Vivaria, 6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Page, Boston.] 
 
 Barrili, Anton Giulio [6. 1836]. The Eleventh Commandment {U undecimo 
 
 Comandamento) [1881]. 1882 
 
 The chief characters of this gay little comedy are a brotherhood of modern friars who have 
 
 shut themselves away from society in order to pursue their archaeological researches. 
 
 But a pretty girl becomes a novice and teaches them an eleventh commandment. [50c., 
 
 Gottsberger, New York : o.p.] 
 
 A Noble Kinsman. 1885 
 
 A plot-novel, dealing with the intrigues and embarrassing situations that arise through the 
 
 loss of a will. The scene is Naples, and the history of a family for two generations is 
 recounted with graphic sketches of character. [Transl. by H. A. Martin, 2 vols., 21s.,

 The Devil's Portrait {It Riiratto det Diavolo) [1882]. 1885 
 
 A novel of plot, that is chiefly melodramatic, but also contains faithful reproduction of the 
 ideas and talk in Itahan studios. Spinello Aretino, a talented artist of five centuries ago, 
 loses his betrothed mysteriously, and after exposing and avenging the villainy committed 
 on him and her, becomes mad, and dies. [Transl. by Miss E. Wodehouse, 2 vols., 21s.,

 [6s., Digby & Long : o.p.] 
 
 Cena, Giovanni. The Forewarners {Gli Ammoniton) [1904]. 1908 
 
 A formless, abrupt, obviously sincere kind of novel, that reads Uke a number of chapters torn 
 out of actual Ufe. The autobiography of a proof-reader in Turin, a poor man, finely culti- 
 vated, a thinker and a dreamer, whose record throws a flood of Ught on the miserable, 
 wasted lives of poor people dwelUng in the great blocks of flats in Turin, and on the social 
 problem which is awaiting solution. [Transl. by Ohvia Agresti Rossetti ; with Preface

 [Transl. by M. H. Lansdale, $1.50, Holt, New York.] 
 
 — — Ashes : a Sardinian Story {Cenere) [1903]. 1908 
 
 Madame Deledda is a Sardinian, and in this novel she interprets with reahstic thoroughness 
 the primitive, impulsive, hot-blooded nature of the Sardinian peasantry, so httle afEected 
 by the current of modern civilization. The story is sad and ugly. A girl is led away by 
 a stranger, cast out by her father, leaves her illegitimate son to the care of others, and goes 
 utterly to the bad. The cUmax is when her son, a young law student, searches for and 
 eventually discovers his mother in the most terrible degradation. [Transl. by Helen 
 Hester Colvill, 6s. (§1.50), Lane.] 
 
 Nostalgia {Nostalgic) [1905]. 1905 
 
 A study of weak, pitiful natures — a neurotic, discontented wife and her husband who betrays 
 her. There is something fine in the way the authoress reveals the beauty and tragedy 
 in a situation that at first seems merely sordid. The life of the real Romans of Rome, of 
 whom the tourist and archaeologist and the fashionable world know nothing, is depicted 
 with knowledge and reaUsm. [Transl. by Helen Hester Colvill, 6s., Chapman.] 
 
 Farina, Salvatore. Love Blinded {Amore hendato) [1875]. 1879 
 
 A httle drama of conjugal hfe among the upper middle-classes in Milan. A young husband and 
 wife, thinking they do not love each other, agree to part ; but the husband is stricken with 
 temporary bUndness, and, while the wife nurses him, they fall in love with each other. 
 [Transl. by " Marcellina," 6s., Charing Cross Pub. Co. : o.p.] 
 
 Signor I {II Signer To) [1880]. 1888 
 
 Story of a girl's marriage against her father's wishes, and their ultimate reconcihation ; told 
 with sympathy and pathos. [Transl. by the Baroness Langenau, 6s., is., Gardner, Paisley.] 
 
 Fogazzaro, Antonio [1842-1911]. The Woman {Malombra) [1882]. 1907 
 
 A not altogether successful blending of Byronic sentimentalism and romance with modem 
 reahsm. The chief figures are a passionate, impulsive, neurotic woman, who loves music, 
 Baudelaire, and lonely reveries amid the Alpe dei Fiori, and a strugghng author whose love 
 she repulses. But the lady is fascinated by a legend that he and she are reincarnations of 
 two old, unhappy lovers — a morbid obsession that is subtly worked out to its conclusion 
 in a tragic scene of madness. [Transl. by Thorold Dickson, 6s., Unwin.] 
 
 Daniele Cortis {Daniele Cortis) [1887]. 1890 
 
 A novel of manners which, in its central situation and its method, closely resembles the realism 
 of such writers as Bourget and Daudet, in his later style, but in spirit and moral is decidedly 
 idealistic and reUgious. Cortis is a democratic politician, who loves his married cousin, 
 Elena, their long vacillation between love and duty terminating in the victory of the latter. 
 Besides the interesting study of character and conduct in these two, their circle of friends 
 are well portrayed, while the politics and finance of the capital help to explain the character 
 of Cortis. Fogazzaro is an expert in the art of evolving a story by means of natural 
 dialogue. [Transl. by S. L. Simeon, 6s., Remington : o.p.]

 The Man of the World {II Piccolo Mondo Moderno) {sequel; igoi]. 1907 
 
 The Saint {II Santo) [sequel ; 1905]. 1906 
 
 " The little old world " of the first novel is the Valsolda and the Alpine environs of Lugano, 
 and the period, the middle of last century just before the expulsion of the Austrians : 
 original largely in the local dialect. The quiet, unchequered, unsophisticated hfe of this 
 old-world society is rendered with much poetic charm. Franco and Luisa Maironi are the 
 parents of the Piero Maironi who is the central figure of the other two novels, and who 
 represents the diverse instincts and propensities, inherited from them. Franco, a noble 
 Brescian, marries and has differences with an intellectual, free-thinking girl of humbler 
 rank. The tragic sufferings of this pair are brought to an end by a scene of reconciUation, 
 just before Franco is killed in the war of 1859. The next two books deal with the two great 
 phases in the life of Piero, the son, who in the second novel is in love with Jeanne Dessalle, 
 a woman unhappily married, and, hke Luisa, an Agnostic. Passion is about to overcast 
 all barriers, when Piero's spiritual transformation changes everything. In the third novel, 
 Piero reappears as the monk Benedetto, a man inspired hke Francis of Assisi with a mission 
 for reforming the Church. He is, in fact, the artistic embodiment of the modernist creed ; 
 and his story corresponds to some extent with John Inglesant and Robert Elsmere. Need- 
 less to say, it has been placed on the Index. [Transl. by M. Prichard-Agnetti, ea. 6s.,

 Leila [1910]. 1911 
 
 A companion novel to The Saint. The Saint's influence works powerfully on Massimo Alberti, 
 who is intended as a husband for Leila, a difficult girl who for a long while repels him. 
 There are two main currents of interest in the book, this study of passion and repugnance, 
 and the analysis of Italian religion during the later courses of the Modernist movement 
 and of the difierent types of clerical character in the Church. [Transl. by Mary Pritchard-

 Guerrazzi, Francesco Domenico [1804-73]. Beatrice Cenci [1854]. 1858 
 
 A novel of the sixteenth century deahng with the subject of Shelley's famous tragedy. [2s., 
 
 Ward & Lock: o.p.] Guerrazzi wrote a poetical romance. La Battaglia di Benevento (1827), 
 
 and a very fine historical novel, L'Assedio di Firenze (1836), on the fall of the Florentine 
 
 republic. 
 
 Manzoni, Alessandro [1785-1873]. The Betrothed (7 Promessi Sposi) [1825]. 1875 
 The best known of Itahan prose romances. Scene, Milan and the shores of Lake Como, at 
 the time of the Spanish domination (1628-30) ; the author carefully cites his authorities 
 for the historical details. The saintly Cardinal Federigo Borromeo is nobly portrayed. 
 The agonies of famine and pestilence in Milan make an impressive episode, though Goethe 
 objected to the elaboration of its historical treatment. A faithful picture of hfe in Italy, 
 full of insight into human nature, and of sympathy with the poor and lowly ; the descrip- 
 tive passages show the poet's love of beauty. 
 . One hundred and sixteen Italian editions have been issued (37 printed at Milan, 18 at Florence,

 RuFFiNi, Giovanni Domenico (continued). — Lavinia. i860 
 
 A novel of plot, varied in scene, characters, and incidents, and in manner of narration. An 
 
 Italian artist of republican tendencies, a French realist, a dog-fancying Spanish countess, 
 
 two Roman swindlers, an Italian bishop, some EngUsh, and the heroine with her mercurial 
 
 nature, are the chief characters. [3 vols., Rudd, .New York : o.p.] 
 
 Carlino. 1870 
 
 A good example of the continental short story. Extremely simple ; the story of an aristocrat 
 
 who is subdued and humanized by the tender devotion of an affectionate young man ; 
 with incidental sketches of characters and manners, both Italian and French. [25c., 
 Lippincott, Philadelphia : o.p.] . * 
 
 Serao, Matilde [b. 1856]. Fantasy (Fantasia) [1883]. 1890 
 
 The contrasted Uves of two women from girlhood upwards ; one a simple, wholesome nature, the 
 other neurotic and governed by eccentric ideals. Into the quiet home life of the former with 
 her young husband the other enters as a spirit of mischief. The translators compare Madame 
 Serao's realism with the finer and more emotional works of Daudet. [Transl. by Henry 
 Harland and "Paul Sylvester," 3s. 6d., Heinemann; 50c., U.S. Book Co., New York.] 
 
 The Conquest of Rome (La Conquista di Roma) [1885]. 1902 
 
 A realistic picture of pohtical life in Rome, especially the sides less known to foreigners. The 
 
 portraits of deputies and others strike one as done from Uf e, and the topographical minute- 
 ness is remarkable. The story tells how a provincial deputy failed in his ambition through 
 an entanglement with a married woman. [6s., Heinemann ; $1.50, Harper, New York.] 
 
 The Ballet-Dan cer (La Ballerina) [1899] ; and On Guard (AW erta Sentinella) 
 
 [1889]. 1901 
 
 The story of an unfortunate ballet-dancer, a woman " more sinned against than sinning." 
 The other, simple in plan, gives the inside of prison life, noteworthy sketches of character 
 in a Piedmontese, governor of a prison, and his little 'boy. The translation defective.

 Farewell Love (Addio, Amore!) [1890]. 1894 
 
 A painful study of uncontrollable passion ; the history of a girl who is a slave to love and dies 
 
 a victim to her infatuation for a man who despises her. [Transl. by Mrs. Harland, 3s. 6d., 
 Heinemann.] 
 
 The Land of Cockayne (II Paese di Cuccagna) [1891], 1901 
 
 An exposure of the gambling mania in Naples, where lottery competitions flourish to an alarm- 
 ing extent. Depicts the tragedies caused by this fever, the most harrowing incident being 
 the breakdown and death of a nobleman's daughter, who has been repeatedly hypnotized 
 to make her foretell the winning numbers. [6s., Heinemann.] 
 
 After the Pardon (Dopo il Perdono) [1906]. 1909 
 
 A sternly honest treatment of the psychology of passion — pecuUarly Southern passion — ^in 
 two lovers who retreat and go .back, one to the husband, the other to the betrothed, 
 whom they had betrayed. But pardon cannot restore the love that had already failed, 
 nor penitence renew a life of virtue and happiness. The punishment of the lovers is that 
 they go back to their sin, even when the sin has lost the old fascination. [6s., Nash.]

 The Maid of Florence (Niccold dei Lapi) [1841]. 1853

 Verga, Giovanni [6. 1840]. The House by the Medlar Tree. 1890 
 
 A reaUstic picture of peasant Hfe in an Italian fishing hamlet by a native Sicilian novelist,

 Sardonic stories of Italian life showing the usual continental mastery of the art of the short

 misogynist. Through the Eyes of Love tells how a would-be biographer gathers irreconcil- 
 able impressions from the three women his hero loved. In Love the Sea but cling to the Shore, 
 a Socialist preaching free love is furious when his daughter's lover proposes to enter into 
 such a union. The Masterpiece, Pasquina and Pif, and A Literary Morning also give 
 unattractive readings of female character among the Italian middle classes. [Transl. by

 Apuleius, Lucius [b. c. 125 a.d.]. The Metamorphoses; or, Golden Ass. 1853 
 
 Various theories have been read into this famous romance : certain of the Christian fathers 
 perceived in it a fantastic allegorical defence of Christian moraUty ; many have deemed 
 it autobiographical, St. Augustine even assenting cautiously to the probability that the 
 transformation was a fact. There is no reason to seek any other object but profane 
 entertainment. Lucius of Madaura, the supposed narrator, on a visit to Thessaly, the 
 country of magic, is accidentally changed into an ass, and meets with the most extraor- 
 dinary train of adventures of a tragi-comic order, before he is released from his bestial 
 situation. The story deals- largely with the black art, and with amorous adventures, in 
 which the author gives free rein to a " profligate imagination." By far the most beautiful 
 part of the book is the tale of Cupid and Psyche, related by one of the dramatis personcB. 
 Here the sentiment is pure, and the writer's emotion lifts his imagination on a nobler 
 flight. That the Latin novel is a product of literary decadence, a bastard offshoot of poetry, 
 is proved inter alia by the rhetorical and euphuistic style that Apuleius saw fit to adopt.

 Petronius Arbiter [probably Gains, d. c. 66 a.d.]. The Satyricon. 1677 
 
 Only a fragment remains of a voluminous series of picaresque adventures, comic pictures of 
 Ufe, and good stories (e.g. " The Widow of Ephesus "), which is the Roman equivalent 
 of the famous Milesian tales — the fabliaux of antiquity. The author is probably to be 
 identified with Nero's courtier and companion in debauchery, the Petronius mentioned by 
 Tacitus ; but the legend that he wrote the work in his last moments and sent it as a testa- 
 mentary gift to Nero is absurd. The general plan of the recital is lost with the missing 
 portions, and consequently the attitude of the writer may be misunderstood ; but apparently 
 he stands alone among the great satirists of the world in picturing the most abominable 
 excesses of luxury and vice with the frank sympathy of a sensuaUst. The most brilliant 
 episode is the Banquet of Trimalchio, a freedman of enormous wealth, who entertains a 
 crowd of parasites in extravagant and ostentatious style, the vulgarity, ignorance, and 
 pretentiousness of these social sycophants being painted with inimitable force. Other 
 episodes ridicule the literary fashions of the age. There are parodies of contemporary 
 poets, and fine verse passages and epigrams that seem to be essays in rivalry of Lucan, 
 etc. The style, where it is not a burlesque of vulgar and illiterate speech, is a model 
 of the finest prose of the Silver Age ; and the art with which the typical characters of this 
 abandoned period are made to move and speak redeems what Dunlop calls " the 
 most remarkable fiction which has dishonoured the Uterary history of any nation."

 Bandamanna Saga : the Story of the Banded Men. i8go 
 
 " The latest of the independent Icelandic sagas." " The Icelandic Sagas — the prose-histories 
 of the fortunes of the great Icelandic houses — are the last, and also the finest, expression 
 and record of the spirit and the ideas belonging properly to the Germanic race in its own 
 right, and not derived from Rome or Christendom." This is a comedy, the only complete 
 example among the sagas. The story of a great- lawsuit, or, as the translators put it, 
 " the greatest legal conspiracy known in the time of the Icelandic commonwealth " ; 
 a singularly sarcastic narrative of greed and chicanery, with caustic personal sketches. 
 Throws a searching light on the Icelandic legal system and the way the later nobles utilized 
 its forms as instruments of private aggrandizement, whilst the spirit of the law was despised 
 and flouted. Scene in N. Iceland (c. 1050-60). " An essentially plebeian story." There 
 are two recensions of the text, (a) Northern, end of thirteenth to middle of fourteenth 
 century, ed. by H. Fridriksson, Copenhagen (1852), and (6) Western, beginning of 
 fifteenth century, ed. by G. J. C. Cederschiold, Lund (1874). [Transl. by William Morris

 Dasent, Sir George Webbe. Popular Tales from the Norse. 1859 
 
 A fine English rendering of the fascinating collection of fairy-tales and beast-fables from 
 primitive Norse folk-lore made by Asbjornsen and Moe, which suppUed the raw material or 
 the suggestions out of which Andersen afterwards worked up his stories. Their spontaneity 
 is the most striking characteristic ; they are nature-myths, childish fancies emanating from 
 unsophisticated observation of the ways of animals, dreams of the wonder-world, and 
 romantic fantasies, all healthy in morals, and enjoyable for their own sake. Prefixed is a 
 valuable introduction (87 pp.) on the Origin and Diffusion of Popular Tales. [2s. 6d. n., 
 Routledge, 1907 ($1 n., Dutton, New York).]

 Egil Skallagrimsson : the Story of : being an Icelandic Family History of the 
 Ninth and Tenth Centuries. 1893 
 
 History of a tragic feud between three generations of a great baronial house and King Harold 
 Fairhair and his successors. Scenes changing from Norway and Iceland to Sweden, the 
 Far North, Russia, Holland, and the British Isles. There is special interest for Englishmen 
 in Egil's dealings with Athelstan. Gives a lively account of the first settlers in Iceland. 
 The saga is no doubt accurate in substance, though epic in style ; and the pictures of home 
 and Court life, the adventures of Vikings and the wars in England and Norway have the 
 stamp of reahty. Egil, who at first strikes one as an overbearing savage, towers over the 
 rest as one of the invincible champions of old, a nobler Grettir ; his generosity, dauntless 
 bravery, and keen sense of honour winning full sympathy. Kveldulf, Skallagrim and 
 Thorolf, his elders, and the noble Arinbjorn, his friend, are strong types of the free-spirited 
 barons ; and the tyrant king vrith his family is Ukewise powerfully drawm. Ranks high 
 among the sagas of action and adventure. Egil (c. 898-988) was a great poet ; his verses 
 are well translated, and the famous lament for his sons is rendered in an adequate manner.

 Ej'rbyggja Saga : the Story of the Ere-Dwellers. 1891 
 
 With The Story of the Heath Slayings. Translated by William Morris and Eirtkr MAGNxissoN, 
 who describe it as " a mixture of a saga, or dramatically told tale, and a chronicle record 
 of events outside its aim and purpose." It is in fact one of the most miscellaneous of the 
 sagas, comprising the stories and traditions belonging to a whole district ; and full of in- 
 formation about the manners and institutions of the heathen ages. The salient personages 
 are Snorri the Priest, a wily schemer, no great fighter, but vengeful and pitiless when 
 opportunity serves ; the brave and generous Arnkel ; Steinthor of Ere ; and the romantic 
 champion Biorn, lover of Thurid. Vendettas, piracies, hauntings, and pitched combats 
 form the various threads of interest. Period 884—1031 ; principal events between 986 and 
 998. Written between 1230 and 1260 according to Vigfusson. [Transl., see HeiSarviga

 Finest of the lesser sagas ; scene, N.W. of Iceland (930-78). A tragic story of extreme pathos 
 
 the cruel sj'stem of blood-feuds carrying havoc into the bosom of an affectionate family, 
 
 608 
 
BEFORE 1800 
 
 and an unmerited curse pursuing Gisli to his death. Brave, generous, and faithful, he is 
 one of the most engaging of the heathen champions. His verses, charmingly translated by 
 Dasent, are by a thirteenth-century writer. The entire story is poetical, the beautiful 
 idea of the Dream Ladies lifting these grim episodes into the higher realm of imagination. 
 Nevertheless, the everyday scenes, the family relations, the ancient observances and super- 
 stitions, manners and morals, and the scenes of swift action, are described in such a minute 
 and familiar manner as to carry instant conviction to the reader's mind. [Transl. by Sir 
 G. W. Dasent, 7s. 6d., Edmonston and Douglas, Edinburgh : o.p.] 
 
 Grettis Saga : the Story of Grettir the Strong. 1869 
 
 A sombre story, simpler in plan than most of the sagas, and less encumbered with genealogical 
 and other extraneous matter ; has much the same plan as a modem biographical novel. 
 Grettir is a man of prodigious strength and indomitable courage, whose irascible temper 
 gets him into a succession of scrapes, for men illegally Slain, and involves him at last in 
 outlawry. He holds his own in defiance of innumerable foes for nearly twenty years, and 
 then is killed lying on his sick-bed (c. 997-1 03 1 ) . As a prose epic of simple, heroic character, 
 of strenuous deeds, and unflinching bravery, it is one of the finest things in northern 
 story ; the supernatural episodes are peculiarly Icelandic in character. Vigfiisson sees in 
 the saga three separate parts : the first. Historical, based on an original Grettis saga ; 
 the second, Mythical, comprising an Icelandic version of the BeowuU legend ; and a third, 
 Fabulous and Romantic, derived from indigenous folk-tales and from foreign romance. 
 He thinks the saga was edited into this final shape about 1300-10. [Transl. by Eirfkr

 Hamlet in Iceland : the Ambales Saga. 1898 
 
 " Being the Icelandic romantic Ambales Saga, edited and translated, with extracts from five 
 Ambales Rimur and other illustrative texts, for the most part now first printed, and an 
 introductory essay, by Israel Gollancz." Of importance chiefly on account of the use 
 Shakespeare made of another version of the same story. The present version belongs to 
 the sixteenth or the early seventeenth century, the major part of it having been derived 
 from Saxo Grammaticus, the Danish historiographer (late twelfth century) and remodelled 
 under the influence of popular folk-tales, Carlovingian and Arthurian romances, and the 
 stories of Tamburlane. But there are probably elements of the pre-Saxo legend surviving 
 in the Icelandic text. In his learned prolegomena. Prof. Gollancz analyses the contents 
 of this barbarous and sanguinary story, showing among other interesting derivations how 
 the Roman legend of Junius Brutus and the Tarquinii was incorporated. [15s. n., Nutt.] 
 
 HeiSarviga Saga : the Story of the Heath-Slayings. 1891 
 
 " Unquestionably the oldest of all the sagas of Iceland " ; originally rough and incoherent 
 in style, and has come down to us in a sadly mutilated state. Dramatic account of how 
 Bardi exacts signal vengeance on the Gislungs for the murder of his brother Hall, the 
 climax being a battle on the great heath connecting the N. and W. of Iceland, between 
 Northlanders and Southlanders. Snorri the priest, with his wonted cunning, acts the part 
 of conciliator. Date not certain, somewhere between 1013 and 1021. [Transl. by W. 
 Morris and E. Magnusson (with Eyrbyggja Saga), 7s. 6d. n. (Saga Lib.), Quaritch.] 
 
 Hensa-Thoris Saga : the Story of Hen Thorir. 1890 
 
 " An old saga, belonging to the earhest group of the domestic tales of ancient Iceland." The 
 artless style and construction are thoroughly in keeping with the primitive maniiers 
 and passions it dehneates. Hen Thorir is an avaricious and evil-minded pedlar, an 
 Icelandic Shy lock, to whose greed and resentment, through the curious legal customs, 
 the public-spirited chief, Blund-Ketil, is tragically sacrificed. Date of Blund-Ketil's 
 burning, a.d. 964 or 965. The consequent lawsuit led to Thord GeUi's constitutional 
 reforms, c. 964. Scene, S.W. of Iceland. [Transl. by W. Morris and E. Magnusson, 
 7s. 6d. n. (Saga Lib.), Quaritch.] 
 
 Howard the Halt, The Story of. 1890 
 
 With The Banded Men and Hen Thorir ; translated by William Morris and Eirikr MagntJsson. 
 A brief and very dramatic saga, the human nature in which comes home to one powerfully. 
 The main story is how the aged and worn-out Howard is worried and excited by his wife 
 to such a pitch that he avenges his murdered son with unexpected prowess. This character- 
 istic — the valour of a doddering old man — ^is reiterated in AtU the Little's surprising 
 energy, and, with a difference, in the slaying of a champion by two lads. Has a sohd 
 historical basis, with local and genealogical inaccuracies due to the reciter's ignorance 
 (/jj-ofi. 1001-3) . [Transl., 7s. 6d. n. (Saga Lib.), Quaritch.]

SCANDINAVIAN FICTION 
 
 Kormaks Saga : the Life and Death of Cormac the Skald. 1902 
 
 Prose and verse, the latter rendered with great spirit. The love-tale of a poet — poor, proud, 
 wayward but true — and a frivolous woman who jilts him (not howbeit without excuse), 
 and despises the greatness of his passion. His genius and daring contrast dramatically 
 with her fickleness and selfishness. Cormac, Irish in name and nature, turns Viking, 
 and performs many deeds of valour (c. 930-60). Much hke a modern romance in feeling, 
 yet substantially true. Put into literary form probably between 1250 and 1300, and a 
 faithful transcript of the oral version two centuries older. Contains the best account of 
 holmgang, the Icelandic duello. [Transl. by W. G. Collingwood and Jon St^fannson, 
 illusir. by Collingwood, Holmes, Ulverston.] 
 
 Laxdaela Saga. 1899 
 
 This famous saga contains some of the greatest characters and grandest scenes in northern 
 hterature. After the customary historical and genealogical recital, full of interesting 
 minor episodes, come the stories of Hoskuld and his son Olaf the Peacock, two of the noblest 
 Icelanders (before 890-1031) ; then the careers of the brave and chivalrous Kjartan 
 Olafson (978-1003) and his foster-brother BoUi ; and side by side with these the dramatic 
 story of Gudrun and her four marriages. The great tragic event of the story is the slaying 
 of Kjartan by Bolh, which is followed by the usual series of blood-feuds. Snorri the priest 
 makes his appearance towards the end of the saga. " It is a modern prose version of the 
 Niblung tragedy. . . . Kjartan stands for Sigurd, Gudrun ... in the place of Bryn- 
 hild, wife of Gunnar" (W. P. Ker). (Probably first put together in thirteenth century.)

 Morris, Wilham, and Eirikr Magnusson [trs.]. Three Northern Love-stories; and 
 other Tales. 1875 
 
 The first three have many marked features in common ; all turn on the enforced m^arriage of a 
 daughter in love with another man, eacli contains charming snatches of impromptu verse. 
 Tke Story of Gunnlaug the Worm-tongue and Raven the Skald is supposed to be the work of 
 Ari. Scenes : W. Iceland, England, and Norway, a.d. 985—1008. Two rival poets, the 
 masterful, hot-blooded Gunnlaug, and the dark, vengeful Raven, love a maiden. The 
 cunning Raven supplants his gallant rival, whom she loves, and betrays him in the hohn- 
 gang. Historical in substance ; gives interesting glimpses of the northern courts. Frithioj 
 the Bold is a fourteenth-century romance, based perhaps on an early historical poem or 
 saga. The son of a bersir loves a sister of the Kings of Sogn, who despise and hate him, 
 but after many wild adventures he brings their schemes to naught. In his reckless bravery, 
 his song-craft, and chivalrous sense of honour, Frithiof is a regular troubadour. The 
 Swedish poet Tegner (1782—1846) composed a Frithfofs Saga. Viglund the Fair, a fifteenth- 
 century story, is pure romance, and strangely modern in sentiment. The episode of Vig- 
 lund's parents is hke the story of young Lochinvar. He loves the sister of his foenien, 
 and a witch-wife is suborned to destroy him. The denouement is remarkable for a display 
 of the nice sense of honour that is so foreign to the. earlier savagery. Hogni and Hedinn, 
 amphfied from a tale in the Skaldskaparmal, is an absurd blend of mythology and hero 
 tale. Roi the Fool is a Norse adaptation of an Oriental story. Thorstein Staff-Smitten is 
 a genuine Uttle saga, telhng of a youth's unexpected derring-do ; the principle of revenge 
 is tempered by a more chivalrous personal feeling. [6s. n. ($2 n.), Longman.] 
 
 Njals Saga. 1861 
 
 The greatest of the sagas, whether in the national scope of its action, the beauty and dis- 
 tinction of the characters, or in the pathos and epical grandeur of the narrative (c. 1230-80). 
 Njal is one of the old statesmen and lawgivers, a reverend figure ; his friend Gunnar, 
 among the noblest of the great chiefs ; Hallgerda, an evil woman drawn on an heroic scale ; 
 and the minor characters are boldly dehneated. Falls naturally into three parts : the first, 
 representing probably a lost " Gunnar's Saga," is the touching story of Njal and Gunnar's 
 friendship, and the fatal enmity of their wives, with the woes it brings on the two house- 
 holds ; in the second part is worked out the tragedy that culminates in the magnificent 
 scene of Njal's burning ; and the third, where the champions Flosi and Kari are prota- 
 gonists, relates the events, down to the battle of Clontarf , whereby retribution is wrought 
 on the burners. The saga has furthermore high importance as history, giving a detailed 
 picture of the social and political hf e centring in the Althing, with portraits of the foremost 
 Icelanders of the time. Vigfusson calls it " the Saga of the Law." He points out also 
 (Prolegomena to Sturlunga Saga) that the author, or editor, was unquestionably a lawyer, 
 and an Eastlander, who makes blunders as to the Westland topography, and handles the

 Olaf Trygvasson. The Saga of Olaf Trygvasson, who reigned over Norway 
 A.D. 995 to A.D. 1000. 1895 
 
 Neither history nor fiction, but, like Southey's Cid, a compilation of general sagas containing 
 both ; it is told in the simple epic manner, and contains scenes and passages of like order 
 to the best in the sagas proper. This life of Olaf Trygvasson, the favourite hero of Norse 
 history, and as Carlyle says, " the wildly beautifuUest man in body and in soul that one 
 has ever heard of in the north, " is a redaction of the following part of Snorri's Heimskringla, 
 the legendary Hfe of Olaf by Odd Monk (late twelfth century), extracts from Landnamabok 
 and Kristni Saga, the greater part of Hallfred's Saga, a summary of Laxdaela, Sigmund 
 Prestisson's life in the Faeryinga (see Thrond of Gate), various poetical extracts, and a 
 number of miscellaneous stories and minor sagas otherwise unknown. To distinguish it 
 from the Heimskringla narrative, which is a great epical history of the Kings of Norway, 
 this is often known as the Great 0. T. Saga. The text is taken from Fornmanna Sogur 
 (printed 1825). The story goes back as far as the times of Harold Fairhair ; the birth, 
 Ufe, and reign of King Hakon (6. 918, d. 960) are related. Then there is an account of 
 the unsettled times before Earl Hacon (d. 995) and Hacon's reign, probably all from the 
 Heimskringla. The early adventures of Olaf as a refugee in Garda (Muscovy) and as a 
 Viking, launch us at once on the main current of heroic story. Olaf's wars and warhke 
 attempts to spread the Christian faith, and the subsidiary episodes, lead in a great cUmax 
 to the tremendous battle of Swold. But the chronicler disbelieves in Olaf's death by 
 drowning, and supplies an apocryphal history of his deeds after his miraculous disappear- 
 ance. The supernatural plays a conspicuous part ; the Devil appears as Odin, the enemies 
 of the faith as Trolls ; there are innumerable prophetic dreams, portents, and premoni- 
 tory warnings. The translator would place the date of the compilation about the middle 
 of the thirteenth century. [Transl. by J. Sephton, i8s. n., Nutt.] 
 
 Thrond of Gate, The Tale of : commonly called Faereyinga Saga. 1896 
 
 From the fourteenth-century Icelandic MS. called Flateybook, where the story is distributed 
 into chronological segments, here put together again. History of two lifelong rivals. 
 Thrond is a hard, crafty, selfish nature, sure to succeed by hook or by crook, a heathen who 
 resists the introduction of Christianity into the Faroes by Olaf Trygvasson (c. 976—1036). 
 He is the centre of the picture ; but the reader's sympathies are with his gallant adversary 
 Sigmund, and still more with Sigmund's wife, " the Mighty Widow." A number of char- 
 acters firmly drawn, dramatic incidents, and something of the artistic unity of a plot : 
 such are this saga's characteristics. Sigmund's last fight is one of the finest scenes of action 
 in the literature (written probably c. 1230). [Transl. by F. York Powell, ios. 6d. n.,

 Viga Glum's Saga. 1866 
 
 One of the earUest sagas. " Murdering Glum " is a grim, unscrupulous, implacable character, 
 who has fits of laughter when the appetite for killing comes upon him. A sombre picture 
 of the savage heathen days, and the events true : time, middle and end of tenth century.

 Volsunga Saga. The Story of the Volsungs and Niblungs, with certain Songs

 A recension of the heroic myths about the Volsungs, Brynhild, and the Giukings, which 
 appeared in fragmentary forms in the Poetic Edda. Inchoate, but studiously faithful to 
 the original legends, of which it gives the fullest summary extant in Icelandic Uterature. 
 By using material contained in different versions of the lays in the Edda, the translators 
 have given their recension more of the character of a work of art. Put together in the

 decadent fourteenth century, long after the great saga time, this is still the most famous 
 story in Northern literature, and the one that by its grand simplicity, noble conceptions 
 of life and death, and sublime characters, appeals most forcibly to modern readers, al- 
 though its ideas belong to a barbarous antiquity. Comprises the story of Sigmund, son 
 of Volsung, and the magical sword called Gram ; the genealogy of Sigurd ; Sigurd's career ; 
 the slaying of the Worm Faf nir, and Sigurd's love for Brynhild ; their fateful separation and 
 death ; the marriage of Gudrun and Ath, and the tragic end of the Giukings or Niblungs. 
 In the German epic, the Nibelungenlied, Siegfried takes the place of the incomparable 
 hero Sigurd, as again in Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungs. WilUam Morris's masterpiece, the 
 epical Sigurd the Volsung, is on the same theme. [Transl. by Eirikr MAGNtrssoN and William

 This book was the result of his delight in Italy, which he visited about 1832-3. It is a fanciful 
 story of Rome and theatrical hfe, with autobiographical chapters on his own childhood,

 story-tellers of such diverse characters as Hawthorne and Lewis Carroll. Full of wisdom 
 charmingly conveyed, and grounded on sound experience of hfe, Andersen's stories 
 always have a definite and convincing touch of reahty in spite of the adventurous fantasy. 
 Their naivete, their tenderness, and the evident love for children and the weak, are a most 
 ingratiating trait.

 Begins a series of short, simple stories of peasant hfe in Norway, in which Bjornson won his 
 first fame by portraying the honest farmers and labourers, among whom he had dwelt, 
 with a truthfulness to the hfe as he saw it, warmed by sincere fellow-feehng, which was 
 something new in Norse literature. This pastoral describes the refining of a rough and 
 passionate youtV " Synnove Sunnycheek," by the influence of a pure love. [Transl. by 
 Juhe Sutter (l«8i), 3s. n., Heinemann ($1.25, Macmillan, New York), 1894.]

i8oo TO PRESENT DAY 
 
 BjORNSON, Bjomstjeme {continued). — ^Ame (Arne) [1858]. 1889 
 
 Gives us the same primitive, unsophisticated people, and simple ways of life and thought, 
 in the same transparent style, conveying in an enchanting fashion the poetic atmosphere 
 and glamour of the North. Arne is the son of a maiden, betrayed but afterwards married 
 by a village coxcomb, who brutally maltreats her. The lad's story is carried down to 
 his own love and marriage. [Transl. by Walter Low, 3s. n., Heinemann ($1.25, Mac 
 millan. New York), 1889.] 
 
 A Happy Boy {En Glad Gut) [i860]. 1896 
 
 The simple record of the growth, love, ambition, and final success of a peasant, with faithful 
 delineations of country life. The old pastor's care for the talented boy, who might have 
 followed the devil as easily as he follows his good angel, is described with a simpUcity that 
 veils the subtlety. [Transl. by Mrs. W. Archer, 3s. n,, Heinemann ($1.25, Macmillan, 
 New York), 1896.] 
 
 The Fisher Lass {Fiskerjenten) [1868]. 1896 
 
 A book typically Norse in characters, manners, and ideas, aiming to show the strength of native 
 talent and to vindicate the theatre. The life of a wayward girl of humble origin, who is 
 seized with an ambition to go on the stage. . [Transl. by Mrs. W. Archer, 3s. n., Heinemann 
 ($1.25, Macmillan, New York), 1896.] 
 
 The Bridal March {Brude-Slaatten) ; and other Stories [1873]. 1896 
 
 A Norse Romeo and Juliet — a tale of passion breaking down the fate that overshadowed a 
 family for generations ; with eight idylls of peasant life, among them, A Dangerous Wooing, 
 a comic story ; Blakken, " a vigorous bit of disguised autobiography, of which not the author 
 but a horse is the ostensible hero ' ' ; The Father, a tragedy set forth in marvellously few 
 words. These tales were the work of the years 1856-69. [Bridal March and One Day, 3s. n., 
 Heinemann {$1.25, Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 Magnhild (Magnhild) [1877]. 1897 
 
 A critical study of marriage, and altogether a more complex book; peasants and landscapes 
 depicted as before, together vrith a higher society, and more attention to the cares and 
 problems of modern life. Magnhild is a woman of fine nature, married to a brute, whose 
 talents and aspirations are driven back into herseli. Her self-searchings, yearnings, and 
 discouragements are forcibly rendered. [With Dust, 3s. n., Heinemann ($1.25, Macmillan, 
 New York).] 
 
 Captain Mansana {Kaptejn Mansana) [1878] ; and other Stories [1880-2]. 1897 
 
 Captain Mansana is a story of the Italian war of independence which the author states 
 to be founded on fact, drawing a parallel between the title-character and the Socialist 
 Lassalle. The Railroad and the Churchyard and Dust, briefer pieces, are Norse stories, 
 very modern in thought : the last, a suggestive study of the right way to instruct children 
 in religious ideas. [Captain Mansana and Mother's Hands, 3s. n., Heinemann {$1.25, 
 Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 The Heritage of the Kurts {Det Flager i Byen og pi Havnen) [1884]. 1892 
 
 A concise treatment of the Rougon-Macquart problem of heredity. The Kurts are a race of 
 turbulent, sensual, and eccentric gentlefolk, whose nature from generation to generation 
 seems to be quite unamenable to the curbs of civilized society. The author traces the 
 various branches of the family, bringing out with minuteness the effects of inherited apti- 
 tudes and of variation, the problem resolving itself into the question how Thomas Rendalen, 
 half Kurt, half peasant, will conduct himself in life — whether the new blood will make him 
 a useful member of society. The urgent social questions arising in the course of the story 
 are stated with frankness, and with indignation against shams and hypocrisy. [2s. 6d., 
 Heinemann : o.p. (2 vols., $2.50, Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 In God's Way {Pa Guds Veje) [1889]. 1S90 
 
 An indictment of conventional morality, deaUng, in the artistic form of a novel, with the case 
 
 of an innocent woman married to a corrupt hbertine, and her persecution by society 
 when she takes the law into her own hands and frees herself. Denounces the unjust 
 censoriousness of modern society, and exalts true purity of life ; but is no mere tract — 
 the reserved strength and the thorough art of this group of novels being a striking quality 
 throughout. [Transl. by E. Carmichael, 2s. 6d., Heinemann : o.p.]

SCANDINAVIAN FICTION 
 
 BjSrnson, Bjornstjerne (continued). — Absalom's Hair ; and A Painful Memory 
 [1894]. 1898 
 
 Allegorical in a very broad and very modern sense, the title glancing obliquely at the sensual 
 faiUngs of Rafael Kaas. A story of Norwegian Ufe in town and country, which reads like 
 a string of extraordinary anecdotes related by an eye-witness. Rafael and his mother are 
 a pair of impulsive beings, frankly individual to the verge of eccentricity, and determined 
 to ]ive their own Uves without submitting to interference or restraint. The other is a 
 story of a murder and an execution. [3s. n., Heinemann (51.25, Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 J'lary (Mary) [1906]. 1909 
 
 Mary is a splendid Olympian creature worthy of a role in the Volsung myths. The very great- 
 ness of her nature causes her to make a terrible mistake ; dishonour is about to overwhelm 
 her ; but a lover, whose generosity equals hers, saves her on the brink of seU-immolation. 
 Admirably translated. [Transl. by Mary Morison, 3s. n., Heinemann ($1.25, Macmillan, 
 New York).] 
 
 BojER, Johan [b. 1872]. The Power of a Lie {Moder Lea) [1900]. 1908 
 
 An interesting study of the mental process by which a man tacitly allows a falsehood to be 
 accepted, and soon finds himself forced to back it up, while the victim has to commit 
 forgery to estabUsh his own credit. The weakness of minds which are at the mercy of 
 circumstances is dehcately analysed. [Transl. by Jessie MuiR, 2S. 6d., Heinemann ; $1.25, 
 Kennerley, New York.] 
 
 Bremer, Fredrika [1801-65]. Novels ; translated by Mary Howitt. 1843-50 
 I : The Neighbours, Hopes, Twins, Solitary, Comforter, Suppers, Tralinnan ; II : The Presi- 
 dent's Daughter, 2 parts; III: The Home, or Life in Sweden; Strife and Peace; IV: 
 
 A Diary, the H Family, Axel and Anna. The Neighbours (1837, transl. 1844) is the 
 
 best example of her quiet delineations of domestic Hfe in Sweden : much in the style of 
 
 Jane Austen. The H Family (in the second series of her Sketches of Everyday Life) 
 
 (1831, transl. 1844) shows her quiet humour to best advantage. This book made her 
 reputation as a novehst. The interest in aU her stories is strongly ethical, and is well 
 sustained, many fine scenes opening out as the drama of human life proceeds on its quiet 
 way. [4 vols. (Bohn's Lib.), ea. 3s. 6d., Bell (ea. $1 n., Macmillan, New York).] 
 The Home is a patient chronicle of family hfe in its homeUest details — the trials and troubles 
 of the early period after marriage, the fuller understanding and deeper happiness that 
 ensue ; the joys and sorrows of the children, their different characters, and how their 
 destinies hinge thereupon. A whole moral philosophy illustrated in the domestic micro- 
 cosm. \The Home, transl., 2 vols., $2.50, Putnam, New York; see also her Novels, supra.}

 and other Tales (chiefly from Smaa FortcBllinger [1884]. 1893 
 
 The title-story and Round Cape Horn are sea-tales, adventurous in spirit and full of a passion 
 
 for the sea. She Died and was Buried is a touching story, with an uncommon vein of 
 
 satire. Herr Drachmann is a Danish poet and novehst. [is. 6d., Unwin.] 
 
 EwALD, Carl [1856-1908]. My Little Boy. 1906 
 
 The history of a father and his first-born, from just before the boy's birth up to the day when 
 he " hands him over to society " — sends him to school. Exquisitely fanciful, delicately 
 ironical ; but the fancy and the irony pierce unerringly to the deeper truths of Ufe. Carl

 Heidenstam, Verner von. A King and His Campaigners {Karolinerna) [1897]. 1902 
 Vague, impressionistic sketches of Charles XII and Sweden, and the battle of Poltowa (1697- 
 1718). The Keeper of the Castle Stores, the tale of an old woman's heroism, is perhaps the 
 best. [2S. n., Duckworth.] 
 
 Ingemann, Bernhard Severin [1789-1862], W dldemax [Valdemar Seier) [1826]. 1841 
 Ingemann was a Danish poet and novehst who wrote a number of realistic tales and a series 
 of historical romances in Scott's style, of which this, Valdemar Seier {1826), and Prinds 
 Otto af Denmark (1835) are the best. This deals with the time 1204. [3 vols., 31s. 6d.,

 Janson, Gustaf. Abraham's Sacrifice {Abrahams Offor) [1902]. 1903 
 
 A sermon against war, with the struggle in South Africa (1900-2) for text. Anti-British, and 
 emphatic on the alleged " methods of barbarism." A Boer general finds that his son 
 has indiscreetly betrayed a secret — hence the sacrifice. [Transl., 6s., Methuen.]

 KiELLAND, Alexander Lange [1849-1906]. Garman and Worse [Garman og Worse) 
 [1880]. 1884 
 
 Life and character in a little western seaport town in Norway graphically depicted by one who 
 had himself sprung from the well-to-do shipowning families, into whose home circle we are 
 iutrodjiced. All the people of the township are portrayed with obvious famiUarity, good 
 humour, and kindly touches of satire. Two of the most attractive are the old brothers, 
 the Consul and the Attach^ ; the two clergjnnen, again, are interesting figures, and the 
 whole of this provincial bureaucracy is set before the reader with convincing reahty ; the 
 everyday talk, the weather, the physical aspects of the country filUng in the picture with 
 faithful detail. [Transl. by W. W. Kettlewell, 6s., Kegan Paul : o.p.] 
 
 Skipper Worse [Skipper Worse] [1882]. 1885 
 
 Considers the subject of religiosity and its effect on society. A profane and delightfully 
 
 humorous old mariner is the object of a determined attempt by his mother-in-law to con- 
 vert him ; a comedy set before us with httle sympathy for the pietists and with penetrat- 
 ing psychology. The character of Hans Nilsen, the lay-preacher, is a worthy pendant to 
 that of the skipper. [Transl. by the Earl of DuciE, 10s. 6d., Low : o.p.]

 Lagerlof, Selma [b. 1858]. The Story of Gosta Berling, (G^'ste Berlings Saga) [1895]. 
 
 1898 
 A most singular and unconventional story, or chain of stories, woven into a prose epic or saga, 
 in which the mercurial and daring Gosta, unfrocked priest, drunkard, lover, and poet, is 
 the chief hero, and a whole Round Table of reckless gallants share his exploits, ordeals, 
 and troubles. It all takes place in a remote region of Norway, bordering on Finland, 
 forest-clad, infested with beasts, watered by torrents and lakes ; and the time hes some- 
 where back in the half-civilized past. [Transl. from the Swedish by P. B. Flach, 6s. n.,

 Lagerlof, Selma (continued). — The Miracles of Antichrist {Anfikrists Mirakler) 
 [1898]. 1898 
 
 A poetical and partly allegorical story of Sicily, setting forth, side by side with a touching 
 love-tale, the conflict between Christianity and the materiaUstic cult of Socialism. Por- 
 trays the childish and superstitious, impulsive and revengeful people, with some comic 
 characters ; with many word pictures of the superb scenery of Etna and the subjacent

 From a Swedish Homestead (En herrgardssdgen) [1899]. 1901 
 
 Another series of fanciful tales, quieter and more pensive in character than Giisia Berling, 
 and lacking the artistic unity of that wild masterpiece ; but hke it in the serious purpose 
 half hidden in the imaginative form. The first and longest is about an insane man won 
 back to mental health by love ; the second is a life of St. Olaf, curiously mingUng Christian 
 and mythological features. The others are shorter, miscellaneous pieces, anecdotes, and 
 fables, often pathetic, full of insight into the Ufe of humanity, and warmed by a kindly 
 humour. [Transl. by Jessie Brochner, 6s., Heinemann {$1.50, McClure, New York).] 
 
 Jerusalem [1901]. 1903 
 
 First part, chronicling the family history of the Ingmarssons through two generations, is an 
 
 epical narrative breathing the spirit of the old saga-men. The second part tells of the 
 founding of an ideahst community in Jerusalem — an enterprise in which the authoress 
 participated. The book as a whole is a characteristic minghng of poetry, spiritualist 
 philosophy, and reaUsm. [Transl. by Jessie Brochner, 6s., Heinemann.]

 Lie, Jonas Lauritz Idemil [1833-1908]. The Visionary ; or, Pictures from 
 Nordland (Den Fremsynte) [1870]. 1893 
 
 Inspired by memories of his boyhood in the wild Arctic region of Nordland ; scenes and char- 
 acters novel, but all animated with warm and vigorous life by the author's sympathy and 
 imagination. The love-tale, with its tragic ending, is pecuharly tender, the young heroine 
 a beautiful embodiment of affectionate womanhood. [Transl. from the Norwegian by 
 Jessie MuiR, 3s. 6d., Hodder Brothers.] 
 
 Weird Tales from Nordland (chiefly from Trold) [1872]. 1891-2 
 
 Tales and sketches of the same strange and barren world, with its intense contrasts of bright, 
 
 ephemeral summer and long Arctic night, and the magnificent scenery of mountain and 
 sea-shore. [Transl. by R. Nisbet Bain, 7s. 6d., Kegan Paul : o.p.] 
 
 The Barque "Future": Life in the Far North (T remaster en " Fremtiden," 
 
 eller Liv nordpaa) [1872]. 1879 
 
 A novel rich in social significance, illustrating the onset of industrialism and the decline of 
 old-established orders in the community. A great commercial house, the head of which 
 is ruined by a scoundrel, focusses interest : the rescuer and inheritor of its fortunes is 
 a capable and energetic man of the people. [|i, Scott, Chicago.] 
 
 The Pilot and his Wife (Lodsen og hans Husfru) [1874]. 1877 
 
 A powerful study of married Ufe, tracing the history of the pilot and his wife from childhood 
 upwards. The wife, a true and loving woman, sacrifices herself wholly to her husband ; 
 but in him jealousy growing into mania subjects her to a continual ordeal, till at length 
 she is forced to assert herself and place herself on a footing of equality ; the result is recon- 
 cihation and happy union. The character and career of the mariner, with his life of 
 adventure all over the world, particularly in South America, are made very interesting.

 The realistic story of a young smith's apprentice in the Norwegian capital, a child of shame, 
 
 and his tragic struggle with poverty and the hopelessness of things as they are. He

 The Commodore's Daughters {Commander ens D4>Ure) [1886]. 1892 
 
 A very candid and reahstic study of modem life in a small and poor town. The love affairs 
 of the Commodore's daughters turn out unhappily. [Transl. by H. L. Braekstad and 
 Gertrude Hughes, 2s. 6d., Heinemann.] 
 
 Niobe (Niobe) [1894]. 1897 
 
 The tragedy of parental anxiety, hope, and disillusionment, treated with scant sympathy for 
 new ways of thought. Niobe is the loving wife of a village doctor, whose children are in- 
 fected with modern ideas of emancipation. The elder son talks the modem cant about 
 art, and fails successively as musician, journalist, and actor ; the second speculates, 
 and involves his family in disgrace and ruin ; a daughter gives herself over as a medium 
 to a spirit-conjurer. Nemesis descends at last with terrible completeness, but all through 
 it is the noble and long-sufiering mother who appeals to our compassion. [Transl. by

 "MiCHAELis, Karin" [Katharina IMarie Bech (Br0ndum) ; b. 1872]. The Child:

 Not so much a story as the simple unfolding of a tragic situation in all its emotional signifi- 
 cance. The little girl Andrea dies, loved by her parents who are estranged from each other, 
 and they in their loneliness are reconciled over her grave. [Transl. from the Danish by

 The Dangerous Age : Letters and Fragments from a Woman's Diary {Den

 This is the diagnosis of a morbid psychological case — the autobiography of a woman of forty

 frank in analysing the secret instincts of a sensuous woman. [Transl. with introd. by

 Oehlenschlager, Adam Gottlob [i 779-1850]. Wayland Smith {Veleni Smed). 1847 
 A prose trifle from the pen of the great Danish poet and dramatist, who wrote several novels 
 and idylls not translated. A modern romanticized rendering of an ancient legend, Germanic 
 in origin, but blended with Latin myths about Vulcan,/t)aedalus, etc. The Lay of Volund 
 in the Poetic Edda was probably composed about 900 a.d. by a Norwegian, who got the 
 tale from England, where it was well known at an earUer period (see Saga-Book of the Viking

SCANDINAVIAN FICTION 
 
 Club, vol. ii.). The legend is traced in Scandinavian, German, and French literatures 
 under the names Volund, Wieland, Galans, etc. In the Thidreks Saga it is connected with 
 the Volsung legend. Vaulundur and his brothers, sons of the King of the Finns, migrate 
 to a summer land, and marry three Swan-maids (Valkyries), who leave them after nine 
 years. He distinguishes himself as a marvellous smith, but is enslaved and maltreated 
 by the Swedish king Nidudr (Nithud), on whom he wreaks a terrible vengeance, and 
 takes flight. Oehlenschlager, who wrote the story in Danish, c. 1800 (afterwards in 
 German, whence it was translated), has embelhshed it with the usual features of the 
 sentimental fairy-tale most pleasingly exempUfied by Fouqu6. [Transl. from the German

 Two parts of a trilogy (Muld, Det Forjaettede Land, and Dommens Day, 1895 ; the third not 
 yet translated) describing the career of a Danish pastor, who enters with enthusiasm into 
 the cause of the peasants, at the time of their struggle in the 'seventies against reaction, 
 marries a peasant girl, and adopts their manner of hfe. In the sequel it is shown that the 
 ideaUst cannot utterly throw off the instincts of his order ; he loses the sympathy of his 
 parishioners, and when he returns to city hfe his wife nobly accepts the inevitable part- 
 ing from husband and children. [Transl. by Mrs. Edgar Lucas, ea. 3s. 6d. n., Dent.] 
 
 Prydz, Alvide [b. 1848]. The Heart of the Northern Sea [Gunvor Thorsdotter till 
 Hdro). 1907 
 
 A story of a httle Norwegian haven, conveying the atmosphere and fascination of the sea in 
 a beautiful way, and finer still as a luminous rendering of the national ideals of character. 
 Gunvor is a dignified impersonation of the " rigid, northerly, cold conscience, and her 
 strength and purity are thrown into high rehef by the weakness and hedonism of her 
 lover, whom she resigns to a sensuous charmer. [Transl. from the Norwegian by Tyra

 young magistrate who conducts the case is in love with the defendant's wife, whence 
 further comphcations arise. The author is Danish. [6s., Methuen ; §1.50, McClure,

 A fantastic saga-like romance of Sweden at the time of the Black Death [c. 1340). A knight 
 weds a mysterious gipsy, loses his recollection, and after marrying a woman of his own 
 race, is visited by the son of his early marriage, a youth with hypnotic powers. Describes

 A story of the struggle for faith and freedom in the Balkan peninsula, written by a Pole who 
 was naturaUzed in Turkey and became a pasha. A very Oriental story in the violence 
 of its passion and the rapidity of its adventures. A Bulgarian brought up as a Turk is

 judice, and with sympathetic insight into the social and religious troubles of this portion 
 of the race. The personal interest attaches to a young Jew who has broken with his people's

 the universal strife between darkness and Ught. [Transl. by Count S. C. de Soissons,

 a promiscuous love of women, is analytically portrayed, with his state of mind in his love 
 affairs with two women. [Transl. by Jeremiah Curtin, 4s. 6d. n., Dent; $1.25, Little

 1891 
 
 Pan Michael : an Historical Romance of Poland, Russia, and the Ukraine 
 
 [sequel]. 1893 
 
 The romance of Pohsh history from 1647 to 1751, composed on a scheme more vast and 
 multitudinous even than Tolstoy's War and Peace. The first part describes the terrible 
 war that arbse when the Ukraine Cossacks, reinforced by Tartars and Ottomans, revolted 
 from Poland, triumphing at Korsian and suffering defeat at Zbaraj ; the next, still more 
 voluminous, deals with the overwhelming invasion of Poland and Lithuania by the Swedes, 
 under Charles Gustavus (1654-5), and the splendid rally of the Poles ; and the third 
 continues the story of the war with the Tartars. An accumulation of episodes, connected 
 by various characters and their histories ; the personal interest very considerable, a 
 number of figures, principally nobles, standing out from the crowd, many of them striking, 
 savage, heroic, or saintly, some humorous or grotesque, others bold historical studies of 
 personages Uke Sobieski, the Russian Hemnitski, the treacherous Radziwill, and King 
 Kazimir. The general impression left is of a succession of scenes of battle, carnage, de- 
 vastation, lust and fiery heroism, now and then relieved by quieter episodes ; of village 
 hfe and domestic peace, [(i) ^1.50 (4s. 6d. n.), 75c. ; (2) 2 vols., $3 (gs. n.) ; (3) S1.50

 Without Dogma : a Novel of Modern Poland [1891]. 1893 
 
 Sets forth the conflict of modern Paganism and Christianity, in the persons of a sceptical 
 Polish dilettante and a girl of pure and earnest character. The man is a type of Slavonic 
 incapacity for action, and in his conduct modern decadence is satirized. The long spiritual 
 combat of the two lovers, separated by a woman's simple determination to do right, is 
 narrated in a journal, in which their hearts and minds are explored with an insight which 
 has suggested to many readers that Sienkiewicz was analysing the opposing elements in 
 his own mind. A sad tale, unrelieved by a touch of happiness — the kiid old Polish aunt 
 almost the only pleasant character. [Transl. by Iza Young, 4s. 6d. n.. Dent ; $1.50, 75c.,

 of a forlorn child. [$1.25, Little & Brown, Boston : o.p.] 
 
 Children of the Soil: a Novel of Modern Polish Life. 1895 
 
 An elaborate novel of contemporary life in Poland, clearly interpreting the temperament of 
 the Slav, and opening up the agricultural and other problems. The personal interest 
 is chiefly in the stqry of the ups and downs of married life ; the women and still more 
 particularly the children are admirably drawn. [Transl. by J. Curtin, 4s. 6d. n.. Dent ; 
 $1.50, Little & Brown, Boston.] 
 
 Quo Vadis ? a Narrative of the Time of Nero [1895]. 1896 
 
 The book that brought Sienkiewicz recognition throughout the European world. A broad, 
 theatrical picture of Roman Ufe in all its light and shade, splendours and horrors, bringing 
 into salient contrast the licentiousness of paganism and the spiritual beauty of Christianity. 
 Scenes of Court hfe and of Christian worship, the burning of Rome, and the massacres in 
 the amphitheatre, are woven into a rapid narrative, which brings in a motley host of 
 characters, all speaking in their proper voices, slaves, preachers, and imperial Romans. 
 The Apostles Peter and Paul come on the stage, but the pagans are the most interesting 
 characters ; Nero, for instance, an impressive figure in his strange and repulsive individu- 
 aUty — and Petronius Arbiter, the artist in refined sensuaUty, the worshipper of beauty, 
 is the dominating personality of the book. [Transl. by J. Curtin, 4s. 6d. n., 2s. n.. Dent;

 Sielanka, a Forest Picture ; and other Stories [1893]. 1898 
 
 Sielanka, the idyll of two young lovers in a forest, is a poetic rendering of the life of nature. 
 
 The pathetic Lighthouse Keeper of Aspinwall, Sachem, and Across the Plains embody the 
 author's American experiences, the last being the tragic story of an overland journey to 
 CaUfornia, chequered by the perils and privations of fifty years ago. Sachem, the last of 
 the Black Snake Indians, appears as a circus performer in Texas. In Yanko the Musician, 
 a story that brought every PoUsh reader to tears, a poor half-witted village lad falls a 
 victim to his passion for music. Yamyol is a kindred sketch of a forlorn village boy. The 
 Bull-fight is Spanish. In The Diary of a Tutor in Poznan and in Barteh the Victor the tyranny 
 of the Germans in Poland is depicted. The Tutor is a poor httle martyr to scholastic 
 regulations. Bartek, a stupid, gigantic hero, performs miracles of prowess at Gravelotte 
 and Sedan, but coming home is persecuted and sent to gaol because he is a Pole. The 
 episode of the ignorant peasants coming out to fight they know not whom is a curious 
 study of the psychology of war. [Transl. by J. Curtin, 4s. 6d. n.. Dent; Si. 50, Little

 Minor stories, and fragmentary episodes, all thoroughly Slavonic in character. A Country Artist 
 is a sentimental tale containing an imaginative description of organ-playing ; In Bohemia,

 Andreev, Leonid Nikolaievich [b. 1871]. Silence ; and other Stories [1899- 
 1901]. 1910 
 
 Andreev is of the company of Gorky and Chekhov, an " unflinching reahst," with the 
 Russian clairvoyance into morbid emotional states. Silence is the study of a harsh, superior, 
 dignified village priest who misunderstands his daughter's silence till she commits suicide 
 in despair ; and then his lot is silence, gloom, and madness. Snapper analyses the feel- 
 ings of an ill-used dog who has one ghmpse of human kindness. The Little Children and 
 Pyetka are keenly sympathetic studies of the pathos of child hfe, and The Tocsin is a 
 realization of the horrors of revolt and incendiarism. [Transl. by W. H. Lowe, 3s. 6d. n.,

 Judas Iscariot (Juda Iskariot i drug'ie) : forming, with Eleazar (Lazarus) 
 
 and Ben Tobit, a Biblical Trilogy [1903-7]. 1910 
 
 A study of the emotions rather than the motives of Judas, who betrays his Master out of 
 insane jealousy — -the development of madness through excessive egotism, intense love 
 of Christ, and jealousy, is followed with pathological exactness. Eleazar (Lazarus) is the 
 story of Lazarus' awful existence after his resurrection. Ben Tobit is about a Jerusalem 
 merchant who all the while the Crucifixion is going on suffers torture from an aching 
 tooth and pays no attention to external events. [Transl. by W. H. Lowe, 5s. n., Griffiths.]

 [Transl. by H. Bernstein, $i, Ogilvie, New York.] 
 Brodsky, Anna. Natasha : the Story of a Russian Woman. 1910 
 
 Written in English. A chronicle of happy domestic life at the country seat of a great Russian 
 noble, with scarcely a glimpse of the social troubles and the tyranny of the bureaucracy, 
 though the book ends with the mutiny at Odessa in 1905. Natasha and her sister Tanya 
 are appeahng figures, whose fortunes and matrimonial crosses, happily ending, carry us 
 through scenes at Vienna, Kieff, and in France. [2s. 6d. n.. Dent.] 
 
 Danilevski, Grigory Petrovich [1829-90]. The Princess Tarakanova : a Dark 
 Chapter of Russian History [1884]. 1891 
 
 Deals with a mysterious pretender, who seems to have been the tool of Prince Radziwill, the 
 leader of the conspiracy of Radomski ; she was treacherously enticed on board the Admiral's 
 ship by Count Orlov, at the orders of the Empress, imprisoned in Petersburg, and 
 tradition says was drowned by the rising waters of the Neva (1775-6). [Transl. by

 Dostoevski, Feodor Mikhailovich [1821-81]. Poor Folk [1846]. 1887 
 
 Dostoevski's tales are the most searching studies of morbid, distressed, abnormal, and 
 criminal minds in any hterature ; written with a sympathy and an intensity of insight 
 that indicate something abnormal in the brain of the writer. This is a typical story of 
 the " submerged " ; a poor clerk, whose Ufe is a perpetual struggle for bread, embittered

 by continual slights to his self-love ; and a young girl, equally poor, isolated, and de- 
 spised, whose friendship is the one solace of his existence. The story of their happy and 
 innocent comradeship is tenderly told ; the end bitterest tragedy. [Transl. by H. S.

 Dostoevski, Feodor Mikhailovich [continued). — Buried Alive; or, Ten Years' Penal 
 Servitude in Siberia : (" Memoirs of a House of the Dead ") [1861-2]. 1881 
 
 His own experiences barely disguised as fiction. In the hfe-stories of a group of criminals, 
 he traces the different effects of captivity on the moral nature. A harrowing book, a 
 terrible picture of the anguish of the prisoner's lot ; hunger, cold, torture, and the squalor 
 of debased society — a burning appeal for justice to the oppressed. De Vogiie calls Dos- 
 toevski ' ' a phenomenon of another world, an abnormal and mighty monster, quite 
 unique as to originahty and intensity " ; a characterization well illustrated by this 
 and the next two works. [Transl. by Marie von Philo, 6s., Longman : o.p. ; sub tit. The 
 House 0/ the Dead, is. n. (Everyman's Lib.), Dent ; 35c. n., Dutton, New York, 1911.] 
 
 Crime and Punishment [1866]. 1886 
 
 Dostoevski's most representative book, an appalUng chronicle of mental torture. Ras- 
 kolnikov typifies the intellectual pride and individuahsm most abhorrent to the author's 
 sense of Christian brotherhood. Maddened by poverty and ambition, this young student 
 commits a murder, justifying himself by his theories. In this extraordinary study of the 
 human mind in a morbid condition, Dostoevski traces the genesis of the criminal idea, 
 the halting steps that precede the act, and the subsequent repentance and atonement. 
 Touches sublimity in such scenes as where the forlorn wretch kisses the feet of Sonia the 
 outcast, as an incarnation of suffering humanity. He finds pardon when he learns the 
 duty of fellowship and love. A gloomy, unmitigated picture of the lowest abysses in 
 the Ufe of Petersburg, [is. n., W. Scott ; is. n. (Everyman's Lib.), Dent ; 35c. n., Dutton, 
 New York, 191 1.] 
 
 The Idiot [1868]. 1887 
 
 A study of hallucination and other morbid phenomena (strikingly coloured by the strange 
 
 workings of Dostoevski's own mind) in the person of a prince, subject to epileptic attacks. 
 In this exceptional being, from whose nature what man calls disease has eUminated the 
 ignobler parts and left the loftier to develop abnormally, Dostoevski has embodied his 
 own idiosyncrasies and feelings, and drawn an ideal, Christ-like character. The idiot, 
 with his incapacity both for good and evil action, is a peculiarly Russian type of spiritual 
 excellence. [Transl. by F. Whishaw, 2s. 6d., Vizetelly.]

 The Signal ; and other Stories. 1912 
 
 [Transl. by Capt. Rowland Smith, Duckworth.] 
 
 Sketches and studies by a patient observer earnestly desirous of getting at the heart of things. 
 All are more or less grim in their view of a world debased by man's mischievous instincts. 
 The pictures of the Russo-Turkish campaign of 1877, in which Garshin served till he was 
 wounded, are intensely vivid. One story relates the experiences of a man who lay on the 
 ground four days severely wounded, and spent the time feverishly reviewing the causes 
 that had brought him to such a state, gaining a new insight into his responsibihties as a 
 human being. It is a fearful indictment of war. Most terrible of all, and perhaps unique 
 as a veracious record of mental disease by one who has suffered, is the account of his 
 own insanity. [Transl. by E. L. Voynich, 3s. 6d., Unwin.]

 St. John's Eve is a powerful story showing his lifelike drawing of his countrymen at its best ; 
 Old-Fashioned Farmers sketches an elderly couple Uving in a sequestered country house in 
 idyllic happiness ; How the Two Ivans Quarrelled is a tale of city life ; The Cloak a pro- 
 foundly sympathetic portrait of a poor commonplace official in Petersburg who is the 
 butt of his fellow-clerks. [Transl. by Isabel F. Hapgood, 3s. 6d., Maxwell: o.p. ; $1.25, 
 Crowell, New York: o.p.] 
 
 Taras Bulba : a Story of the Dnieper Cossacks [1834]. 1886 
 
 A fierce epical narrative of the bloody wars of the Zaporogian Cossacks against the Poles. 
 Taras with his own hand shoots one of his sons who has turned traitor ; the other is 
 captured and put to torture before his father's eyes. Taras exacts a terrible revenge by 
 devastating the country, and dies in the midst of Ms foes. The scenes of tumult and battle 
 ring with the names of heroes, and the blows and wounds of personal encounters ; the 
 rhythm is that of some fierce old chanson de geste. Gogol was himself a Cossack, and 
 incorporated legends handed down among his people. [Transl. by Isabel F. Hapgood, 
 2S. 6d., Vizetelly : o.p. ; ?i, Crowell, New York: o.p. ; 3s. 6d., Scott, 1907.] 
 
 Tchitchikoff's Journeys ; or. Dead Souls [1846]. 1886 
 
 Gogol founded the realistic school of Russian fiction. His novels and stories are almost to 
 
 be described as improvizations, in their lack of^rder and precision ; but they relate truth- 
 fully and vividly exactly what he saw. His human portraiture of all orders of Russian 
 people — ^reminding one in its freshness and humour of the Pickwick Papers — ^has sug- 
 gested a superficial comparison with Dickens. He has been likened, quite as justly, to 
 Cervantes and Lesage, and again to Swift. This, his greatest novel, is a tale of the old 
 days of serfdom, when the peasants were registered and counted as " souls," and those 
 who died between the registrations were denominated " dead souls." An adventurer 
 buys up a large number of these at nominal prices, and then raises money on the certifi- 
 cates. This farcical proceeding gives opportunity for humorous and often bitterly satirical 
 pictures of the Russian landowning class, who are represented as utterly effete and ridicu- 
 lous, while such men as Manyelov, who talk about schemes for ameUorating the lot of the 
 serfs, are in reaUty the worst of masters. The second part, posthumous and unfinished, is 
 in all respects inferior to the first, but of iaterest to students of Russian Ufe. [Transl. by 
 Isabel F. Hapgood, 2 vols., 2s. 6d., Vizetelly : o.p.; $2.50, Crowell, New York: o.p.; with 
 connecting passages from CharriSre's French version, and Dr. Zahartchenko's sequel, 
 notes, etc., Unwin, 1893: o.p.] 
 
 GoNCHAROV, Ivan Alexandrovich [1813-91]. A Common Story [1847]. 1894 
 
 By the author of two powerful novels, Oblomov and The Precipice, the first of which is a master- 
 piece of European currency. This is a study of the inveterate conflict of ideas in Russia, 
 between the reformers and the old regime, as exhibited in the career of a member of the 
 landowning classes, who has vague ideas of political and social reform. The hero goes to 
 Petersburg and begins his official hfe full of enthusiasm and belief in his future ; but the 
 deadening influences of pohtical hfe soon affect him, and he is glad to return to his estates. 
 The story reflects the struggle between the new ideas and those of the old regime. [Transl. 
 by Constance Garnett, 3s. 6d., Heinemann.] 
 
 " Gorky, Maxim " [Aleksyei Maksimovich Pyeshkov ; b. 1869]. Tales from 
 Gorky [1894-9]. 1902 
 
 Nine altogether, with a biographical sketch. Chelkash, one of the best-known masterpieces, 
 and Twenty-Six of Us, appear below. A Rolling Stone, the hfe of a born vagabond, a sworn 
 enemy of morality and conventional respectabiUty, is a perfect summary of Gorky's 
 philosophy, and wholesomely satirical in its scornful branding of " shoddy honesty." In 
 Steppe and One Autumn Night, if not others, commemorate actual incidents in Gorky's 
 hfe among the vagrants, the outcasts, the lovers of freedom, winds and deserts, the foes 
 of society, whose manner of hfe and revolutionary morals he consistently extols. Also 
 The Green Kitten, Comrades, Her Lover, Chums. [Transl. by R. Nisbet Bain, 6s., Jarrold ; 
 f I, Brentano, New York.] 
 
 The Individualists : Cain and Arteme, Strange Companion [1896-8]. 1906 
 
 [is., Maclaren.] 
 
 Comrades [1897]. 1907 
 
 His most hopeful and inspiring novel — to be compared with Virgin Soil, even though Gorky's 
 
 formless improvization is so inferior in accoffiphshment to the art of Turgenev. The 
 sufferings of Pavel, the son of a brutal factory-hand ; the propagandist work of a circle

SLAVONIC NATIONALITIES 
 
 of Socialist workmen ; the seli-sacrificing enthusiasm of Pavel's mother ; and the many 
 episodes of conspiracy, espionage, public demonstrations, prison life and torture, give a 
 panorama of the struggle going on between poor and rich, peasant and landowner, the 
 oppressed and the bureaucracy. [6s., Hodder.] 
 
 "Gorky, Maxim" (continued). — Creatures that Once were Men [1897]. 1905 
 
 Melancholy pictures of the destitute and the fallen, who resort to a doss-house belonging to a 
 rich and cynical merchant. [Transl. by J. K. M. Shirazi, is. n.. Rivers.] 
 
 The Orloff Couple; and, Malva [1897]. 1901 
 
 The first is perhaps Gorky's finest story. Orloff, the cobbler, has some Ukeness to Foma 
 
 Gordyeefi, the milhonaire ; he, too, is disgusted with the flatness of Ufe, and yearns for 
 opportunities of heroism. Orloff and his wife in their hovel, the monotony of their exist- 
 ence, and the sudden spell of strenuous work for humanity during the epidemic, are de- 
 picted with fidelity and abundance of detail. In Malva the descriptions of the sea show 
 Gorky's poetic feeling for nature, and the heroine is a notable creation (Gorky is always 
 at his best in portraying women) . [Transl. by Emily Jakowleff and Dora B. Montefiore, 
 3s. 6d., Heinemann ; transl., sub tit. Orloff and His Wife, $1, Scribner, New York.] 
 
 Foma Gordyeeff [1899]. igoi 
 
 A great piece of reaUsm and spiritual insight, though formless, and overburdened with Nietz- 
 
 schean philosophizing. Foma Gordyeefi (Thomas the Proud) is the son and heir of a 
 rich merchant, but is oppressed by the falsehood and viciousness of conventional life, and 
 wears himself out in blind efforts to find an outlet for his natural energies. The merchant 
 classes at Nijni Novgorod, the teeming hfe of the Volga, are portrayed with intense realism, 
 unreticent and unselective. Foma's father, the domineering, unscrupulous trader, has 
 been identified with a famous milhonaire who died in a monastery. [Transl. by Isabel F. 
 Hapgood, 6s., Unwin ; $1, Scribner, New York; transl. by H. Bernstein, is. n., Unwiu.] 
 
 Twenty-six Men and a Girl [1899]. 1902 
 
 The twenty-six men labour in a dark underground bakery, and the only gleam of joy in their 
 
 dismal life is a young girl whom they idoUze. But she falls a prey to a dissolute soldier, 
 and the extinction of their one gUmpse of fairness and purity is the last pang of tragedy. 
 Chelkash relates how a defiant, unscrupulous, successful ruffian seduces a stupid country 
 lad, the workings of the two minds, being revealed with astonishing force. [Transl. by 
 Emily Jakowleff and Dora B. Montefiore, is. 6d. n., Duckworth.] 
 
 Three Men [1900]. 1902 
 
 A long novel hke Fomd Gordyieff. The Ufe of Ilya Lunev, son of a convict, from boyhood 
 
 onwards. Ilya starts work with a rag-aud-bone man, and fives with the dregs of society. 
 His hardships, shames, and disillusionments, and the crime that leads to his death, are 
 chiefly of interest for the terrible pictures of the vagabonds, thieves, courtesans, and the 
 poorest classes of workers in Russia. The women, as usual, are vividly done. [Transl. by 
 Charles Horne, 2s. 6d., Pitman.] 
 
 The Outcasts ; and other Stories [1900]. 1902 
 
 Includes Waiting for the Ferry and The Affair of the Clasps. [Transl. by D. B. Montefiore, 
 Emily Jakowleff, and Vera Valkhovsky, is. n., Unwin.] 
 
 — — Mother [1906]. 1907 
 
 A long-winded, monotonous description of the brutaUzed life of men, women, and children 
 in a Russian factory. [Transl., $1.50, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 A Confession [1908]. 1910 
 
 A Russian's Pilgrim's Progress. From the abysmal despair which seems the inexorable con- 
 clusion, from the universal debauchery of the monks and the ruthlessness of of&cialism, 
 the Pilgrim struggles on to a faith in the people as in a united force. " Thou art my 
 God, O Sovereign people, and creator of all gods which thou hast formed from the beauties 
 of thy spirit in the travail and torture of thy quest." [6s., Everett.] 
 
 The Spy : the Story of a Superfluous Man [1908]. 1908 
 
 This, Uke Comrades, is a propagandist novel, but reverts to the tone of pessimism. The spy 
 
 is a poor, timid peasant who becomes a tool of the pohce. The reactionary movement, 
 due to the rally of the Black Hundreds, and the despair of the people at the collapse of 
 constitutionalism, are set forth with horrifying realism. [Transl. by T. Seltzer, 6s., 
 Duckworth; $1.50, Huebsch, New York.]

RUSSIAN FICTION 
 
 Grigor6vich, Dmitri Vasilievich [1822-1900]. The Cruel City. 1891 
 
 A picture of life in Petersburg. The motive is comic ; a young man comes up from the country 
 to seek his fortune among his city relatives ; but they turn out to be by no means wealthy, 
 and they fleece the unhappy youth. Grigor6vich's pictures of country life, factory Ufe, 
 etc., are remarkably truthful and of real ethnographical value. [Transl. by E. de L. 
 PiERSON, 75c., Cassell, New York : o.p.] 
 
 Karamzin, Nikolai Mikhailovich [1765-1826]. Russian Tales by Karamsin. 1803 
 
 Tales from the Russian of N. Karamsin. 1804 
 
 Karamzin's sentimental stories are chiefly memorable for the wild popularity excited by one 
 of them, Pooir Liza, a harrowing story of seduction. The pond where she drowned herself, 
 in the Simony Monastery, was once a favourite pilgrimage. Karamzin wrote a well- 
 known History of Russia, [(i) Transl. by J. B. Elrington : o.p. ; {2) transl. by A. A. 
 Feldborg : o.p.] 
 
 KoROLENKO, Vladimir [i. 1853]. The Vagrant ; and other Tales. 1887 
 
 Admirably finished stories, hardly inferior in force and beauty of execution to Turgenev's. 
 Korolenko spent many years in exile at a remote settlement in Siberia, and he pictures 
 the life there with deep impressiveness. The Vagrant relates the escape of a band of exiles ; 
 Sketches of a Siberian Tourist are full of the observations of an imaginative mind, and are 
 chiefly autobiographical ; all are pervaded with the spirit of the scenery and the char- 
 acteristic melancholy of the Slav. The translations from Korolenko are defective. [Transl. 
 by Mrs., A. Delano, $1.25, Crowell, New York.] 
 
 The Blind Musician. 1890 
 
 A beautiful story of the development of a musical genius, too subtle perhaps in its psychological 
 analysis of an emotional temperament strongly influenced by nature. [Transl. by 
 " Stepniak " and Westall, 2s. 6d., Ward & Downey: o.p. ; by Mrs. A. Delano, $1.25, 
 Little & Brown, Boston : o.p.] 
 
 The Saghalien Convict; Easter Eve. 1:892 
 
 Inspired by his own exile (1881-4) in the dreary, sub-Arctic province of Yakutsk, whither 
 he was sent for refusing to take the oath to Alexander III. [is. 6d. (Pseudonym Lib.), 
 Unwin.] 
 
 In Two Moods. 1892 
 
 A rather reticent study of the NihiUst movement of 1873-5, sketching the young Russian 
 enthusiast in warm and sympathetic colours ; and a characteristic psychological study. 
 [Transl. by " Stepniak," 6s., Ward & Downey : o.p.] 
 
 Makar's Dream. 1892 
 
 Makar, a drunken old Yakut moujik, dreams he is brought to the house of the great Taion 
 or judge to be tried for his sins. In this beautiful fable the problem of redemption is 
 worked out with the familiar characters and scenes of real Hfe as factors. Bad Company 
 is a pathetic tale reminiscent of Korolenko's half-Polish, half-Cossack parentage, and of 
 his early Hfe in Volhynia. [is. 6d. (Pseudonym Lib.), Unwin.] 
 
 KosTROMiTiN, G. J. The Last Day of the Carnival. 1893 
 
 A lurid picture of a pubUc hoUday in a provincial town, a day of brutal indulgence passed 
 in continual dread of the knout and of Siberia ; claims to be accurate, [is. 6d. (Pseudonym 
 Lib.), Unwin.] 
 
 KuPRiN, Alexander Ivanovich [b. 1870]. In Honour's Name. 1907 
 
 An incredibly hideous picture of military hfe in barracks, the private soldiers represented 
 
 as cowering, persecuted slaves, and the ofl&cers as a set of brutal, foul, Ucentious ruffians, 
 
 their women-folk revolting, heartless, and immoral. In Kuprin's other stories he appears 
 
 in his more natural role of humourist. [Transl. by W. F. Harvey, 6s., Everett. 
 
 Lermontov, Mikhail Yurievich [1814-41]. A Hero of our Time [1839]. 1854 
 A poet's novel, semi-autobiographical, strongly imaginative, and full of description of Cir- 
 cassian scenery, and of the condition of the country at the time of the war with Russia. 
 The hero is a true Russian, a man with vague hopes and aims who accomphshes nothing 
 and is disillusioned by Ufe. [Transl. by T. Pulszky, 1854; transl. by Lipmann, 3s. 6d , 
 Vizetelly, 1886: o.p.; text and transl. by J. N. Schnurmann in his Russian Reader, 8s., 
 Cambridge Press (?2 n., Putnam, New York), 1899 ; transl. sub tit. The Heart of a Russian,

SLAVONIC NATIONALITIES 
 
 Merezhkowski, Dmitri [b. 1866]. The Death of the Gods. 1901 
 
 First part of a huge trilogy, Christ and Anti-Christ, designed to interpret " the everlasting 
 contest between the idea of a God-Man and the idea of a Man-God," in other words. 
 Christian and Pagan ideals. With an imagination steeped in ancient history add archae- 
 ology, the novelist depicts the struggle between Ught and darkness in the soul of the 
 Emperor Julian, and throughout all the peoples of his empire (363—4) . The result is a suc- 
 cession of gorgeous tableaux representing dissolute city fife, wars in Germany and Persia, 
 controversies and squabbling among Pagan philosophers and Christian prelates. [Transl. 
 by Herbert Trench, 2s. 6d. n.. Constable ; $1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 The Forerunner. 1902 
 
 Called in Russian The Resurrection of the Gods, because Merezhkowski sees in the Renaissance a 
 new fusion of Pagan and Christian ideals. A eulogy of individualism in the character and 
 career of that many-sided genius, Leonardo da Vinci, and an elaborate study of the 
 artistic temperament. Raphael, Michelangelo, Savonarola are disparaged, and other 
 foils to the grandeur of Leonardo are such historical characters as Pope Alexander VI, 
 Cesare Borgia, Charles VIII, Machiavelh (1494-1519). [6r., Constable.] 
 
 — — Peter and Alexis. 1905 
 
 Conclusion of the trilogy. Peter the Great and his imbecile son Alexis are but the protagonists 
 in a vast and crowded drama representing the whole hfe of Russia at that epoch. [6s., 
 Constable ; $1.50, Putnam, New York.] 
 
 MiKULiCH, V. Mimi's Marriage. 1893 
 
 Scenes and characters drawn from life with a cynical pen — the bringing-up and family life of a 
 Russian girl. [is. 6d. (Pseudonym Lib.), Unwin.] 
 
 Orlovsky, R. Nadia ; or, Out of the Beaten Track. 1888 
 
 Life of an enthusiastic woman who from childhood has been afi&liated with secret revolutionary 
 societies : at Ziirich she mixes with a crowd of Russians all discussing Nihilist problems. 
 She aspires towards a higher and better Hfe, but it is only with the utmost difficulty that 
 she rends the bonds that have been woven round her by her feUow-conspirators. [Transl. 
 by Baroness Langenau, 3 vols., 31s. 6d., Sonnenschein : o.p.] 
 
 Pushkin, Alexander Sergyevich [1799-1837]. Prose Tales. 1894 
 
 Pushkin's stories are chiefly native in subject, but in spirit and manner pertain to the romanti- 
 cism that prevailed before the advent of Gogol and the other distinctively Russian noveUsts. 
 For Ther Captain's Daughter, see below. An Amateur Peasant Girl is the story of a flirta- 
 tion ; The Snowstorm, an extraordinary episode, how a man marries a lady who beUeves 
 him to be some one else ; The Postmaster, a pathetic tale of a pretty peasant girl's elope- 
 ment with a passing hussar ; The Queen of Spades is a tragedy. [Transl. by T. Keane 
 (Bohn's Lib.), 3s. 6d., Bell ($1 u., Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 The Captain's Daughter [1831]. 1859 
 
 Adventures of two lovers during the Pougachev rebelhon in the time of Catherine II. By means 
 of brisk incident, forcible outhnes of character, and sharp strokes of description and dia- 
 logue, Pushkin sets before us the various types of a savage period so incisively that the 
 story makes the same impression as a drama. [Transl. by J. F. Hanstein (1859), and in 
 Prose Tales, transl. by T. Keane (Bohn's Lib.), 3s. 6d., Bell (?i n., Macmillan, New York).] 
 
 TcHEKHOFF (or Chekhov), AntoH Paulovich [1860-1904]. The Black Monk; and 
 other Stories. 1903 
 
 Tchekhofi is often compared with Maupassant, not on account of the matter or the spirit of 
 his stories, but for their fine workmanship. He is as sad and gloomy as Gorky, and his 
 characters are chiefly morbid, neurotic, over-sensitive Russians, oppressed by the banaUty 
 of Ufe or its tragedy. Of these twelve stories The Black Monk is about a spectre that 
 haunts the harassed mind of a poor man and wrecks his happiness ; In Exile, Rothschild's 
 Fiddle, and Two Tragedies are finished studies of mental and moral wretchedness. " Chek- 
 hov's stories are exclusively intellectual and subtle. They appeal only to the mind, not to 
 the passions nor to any love of sensation " (W. L. Phelps). [Transl. by R. E. C. Long, 6s., 
 Duckworth.]

RUSSIAN FICTION 
 
 TcHEKHOFF, Antoii Paulovich {continued). — ^The Kiss ;• and other Stories. 1908 
 
 The title-story is about a kiss given in mistake to a poor, shy, clumsy young officer — a touching 
 analysis of a momentary pulse of strong emotion, an insignificant thing deeply significant 
 to the individual concerned. The Muzhiks is a terrible and pitiful sketch of the peasantry, 
 steeped in ignorance and misery ; and The Princess, a striking companion piece. These 
 tales give a portrayal of many difierent types and classes, and invariably go far below the 
 surface things of life. [Transl. by R. E. C. Long, 6s., Duckworth.] 
 
 Tolstoy, Count Alexei Konstantinovich [1818-75]. The Terrible Czar [Prince 
 Serebryany) . 1892 
 
 A very fine and accurate study of the times of Ivan (IV) the Terrible ; admirable in its artistic 
 setting. [Transl. by Capt. H. C. Filmore, last ed. 1895 ) tliis novel has also been transl. by 
 Princess Galitzine, Prince Serebrenni, 1874, and by Jeremiah Curtin, Prince Serbryani : 
 an Historical Novel of the Times of Ivan the Terrible and the Conquest of Siberia, New York 
 and London, 1892 : o.p.. Low ; transl., 6d., Hutchinson, 1904,] 
 
 Tolstoy, Count Leo Nikolaievich [1828-1911]. The Cossacks : a Tale of the 
 Caucasus in 1852 [1852]. 1878 
 
 Written while he was serving in the army of the Caucasus, and rich in descriptions of that 
 superb region. A story of the love of an educated Russian gentleman (in whom he prob- 
 ably sketches himself) for a beautiful savage. Repudiates the false romanticism of the 
 attitude of Byron and other fashionable writers towards primitive people. The girl is a 
 creature of instinct, and an insuperable barrier exists between her simple nature and the 
 complex character of the man. Tolstoy's crystal-clear style is not always reproduced in 
 translations. [Transl. by E. Schuyler, 2s. 6d., W. Scott (%i, Gottsberger, New York) :

 Childhood ; Boyhood ; Youth [1852-5]. 1888 
 
 Three stories describing the infancy and upbringing of a child of good family ; really auto- 
 biography mingled with fiction. Forms the first instalment of his mental and moral 
 history, of which the great novels and the ethical treatises are, in one of their aspects, the 
 continuation. Exposes the absurdities of the educational system then in vogue, and the 
 hollowness of most of the current ideals of fashionable Society, and is further a painful 
 narrative of the workings of the soul in a sensitive and morbidly introspective child placed 
 under such influences. Childhood was his first work. [Transl. by Isabel F. Hapgood, 
 with And What to do, 2S. 6d., W. Scott (?1.50, CroweU, New York) ; by Leo Wiener, 
 3s. 6d. n.. Dent ($1.50, Dana Estes, Boston), 1905.] 
 
 A Russian Proprietor ; and other Stories [1852-9]. 1887 
 
 The first describes the well-meant but futile efforts of a young proprietor to raise the status 
 of his peasantry, efforts half benevolent, half selfish, encountered by stolid ignorance and 
 invincible fatalism. The subject of Lucerne is the disillusionment of a philanthropist who 
 champions a stroUing player, and is rewarded only by the ridicule of Society and the in- 
 gratitude of his protege. Two Hussars contrasts the characters of a father and- son, the 
 one reckless, dare-devil, but generous and faithful to his friends ; the latter correct and 
 well-instructed, but a heartless profligate. Three Deaths (1858-9), a fragment, subsumes 
 the author's Nihilistic philosophy ; the three deaths are those of a lady Uving in the lap 
 of luxury, of a poor muzhik, and of an ash tree in the forest — ^an anticipation of Ivan Ilyitch. 
 Several, including Recollections of a Marker, are unvarnished transcripts from his personal 
 experiences ; the last relates to his own gambling days. A Prisoner of the Caucasus, the 
 Ufe of a captive officer in a Tartar village, pictures in a vivid way the whole surroundings 
 of the half-savage mountaineers. [Transl. by N. H. Dole, 2S. 6d., W. Scott ($1.50, 
 Crowell, New York).] 
 
 The Invaders ; and other Stories [1852-61]. 1887 
 
 In the first (1852), an incident of frontier fighting in the Caucasus, the imaginary romance of 
 warfare is contrasted with the reality. Magnificent descriptions of the mountain scenery. 
 We have reminiscences of the author's miUtary Ufe in An Old Acquaintance (1854—5) and 
 The Wood-cutting Expedition, the latter a very realistic character-sketch of soldier Ufe 
 in the Caucasus, officers, men, and atmosphere portrayed as if in notes taken on the spot. 
 Lost on the Steppe describes a sleigh ride over the steppe during a heavy snowstorm. The 
 feverish hallucinations of the half-frozen traveller are well set off by the unemotional 
 
 629

 coolness of the driver. Polikushka (i860) is a gruesome tale of bUnd Fate hideously 
 sacrificing innocent victims, and rewarding with joyous laughter those who profit by their 
 disasters. Kholstomir also expresses the irony of fate, in the story of a horse from the 
 racing stud to the knacker's yard. [Transl. by N. H. Dole, 2s. 6d., W. Scott ($1.25, 
 Crowell, New York) ; transl. by Leo Wiener, see The Cossacks, stipra.] 
 
 Tolstoy, Count Leo Nikolaievich (continued). — Sevastopol [1855-6]. 1889 
 
 Three intensely realistic sketches of the Crimean War (1854-5), through which Tolstoy served 
 as an ofi&cer inside Sevastopol ; they give three views of the great siege, in December, 
 May, and August ; but the views are introspective and meditative, especially in the second 
 part, which sets before us the inner hfe of the men engaged in the daily combat with death. 
 For the first time since Gogol, said his contemporaries, we have a Russian who tells us the 
 truth. [Transl. by Isabel F. Hapgood, 2s. 6d., W. Scott ($1.25, Crowell, New York) ;

 War and Peace [1864-9]. 1886-9 
 
 A panorama of Russian affairs, pubhc and private, during the Napoleonic wars — comprising 
 four parts : Before Tilsit (1805-7) -' ^^^ Invasion (1807-12) ; The French at Moscow, and 
 Epilogue (1812—20). " A summary of the author's observations on human life in general" 
 (De Vogii^) . A multitude of characters are presented, officers and men, both French and 
 Russian, the hostile emperors and their suites, gentry living quietly in Moscow or on their 
 estates, great people of fasliion, serfs, and all intermediate classes. The more important 
 are portrayed from the inside, and the reader sees through their eyes, and coloured by 
 their emotions, the entire hfe of the nation throughout this tremendous epoch, which the 
 Epilogue carries down to the time of the Decembrists. Real personages occupy almost 
 as much space as the fictitious ; while in Prince Andr6 Bolkonski and Pierre Bezushov, 
 whose life histories run through the book, are embodied two significant types of the Russian 
 nobleman. Bezushov shows the ideas and sentiments most powerfully at work on the 
 nation, which bore fruit in the Liberal Movement — the NihiUsm and Theosophy of a later 
 date. Like Levin in A nna Karinin, and hke Count Tolstoy himself, Bezushov is initiated 
 by a peasant into the gospel of resignation to God's will. Natasha and Princess Marie 
 come second to Anna Kar^nin alone among Tolstoy's women. The battle pieces, Austerlitz, 
 Friedland, Borodino, are not merely accurate historical studies, but wonderful analyses 
 of the sensations and emotions of a combatant. [Transl. by N. H. Dole, 4 vols, in 2,

 Anna Kardnin [1873-6]. 1901 
 
 This and War and Peace are the two greatest examples of Count Tolstoy's pecuhar method of 
 fiction, in which he does away with the accepted conventions, e.g. tiiat the novel is a 
 species of art correlative with drama, and gives a direct, truthful, and unsentimentalized 
 and unheightened transcript of life in all its rnultitudinous and complex phases as noted 
 by his unrivalled power of observation and insight. His knowledge of hfe seems inex- 
 haustible. Matthew Arnold called this " Less a work of art, than a piece of hfe." The main 
 action is profoundly tragic — a woman of winning and in many respects of noble nature, 
 forsakes husband for lover, and after a bitter experience finds rest in suicide. The connected 
 story of Levin and his honest and happy love expresses the author's own disgust with life, 
 and his initiation into the peasant's simple obedience to the rule of God which gave him 
 peace. [Transl. by Constance Garnett, 2 vols., 15s., i vol., 2S. 6d. n., Heinemann (2 vols.,

 - Ivan Ilyitch ; and other Stories [1884-6]. 1887 
 
 Tales and sketches, containing some of his most characteristic moral and social teaching. 
 The death of Ivan Ilyitch is a naturahstic study of the slow, insidious, inexorable progress 
 of a fatal disease. The anguish of the sufferer at his approaching end, and his inability to 
 reahze the meaning, are strikingly brought out in this remorseless vivisection of a common, 
 dull, unreflecting soul. // you Neglect the Fire you don't put it out is a parable on the evil

 consequences of anger, and the duty of forgiveness ; Where Love is, there God is also and 
 A Candle are similar fables of peasant life ; The Two Pilgrims is a parable of the constrain- 
 ing power of a good life ; Texts for Woodcuts, The Three Mendicants, and Popular Legends 
 are various ethical and reUgious apologues in terms of Russian provincial life. The Godson, 
 a consummate example of Tolstoy's genius for apologue, preaches the uselessness of trying 
 to correct evil, and the power of unselfish goodness. Ivan the Fool is an epitome of his 
 most radical social teachiiig, thinly veiled in a homely story. Non-resistance, the absurdity 
 of mihtarism and commercialism, the all-sufificiency of labour are enunciated with great 
 vigour. [Transl. by N. H. Dole, 2s. 6d., W. Scott {$1.50, Crowell, New York) ; Death of

 The Kreutzer Sonata [1890] ; and, Family Happiness [1859]. 1890 
 
 Like Ivan Ilyitch, a very painful diagnosis of mental suffering and the horrors which are the 
 
 fruit of our false views of Ufe. Summarizes his ideas upon marriage, and denounces 
 sexual immorality. A man who had led a hcentious hfe before marriage discovers that 
 romantic love is a delusion, comes quickly to hate his wife, and in a fit of jealousy murders 
 her. He recounts his experiences as a warning to others. Family Happiness (1855) 
 traces the emotional subsidence of two people from a state of romantic passion to one of 
 commonplace affection. [2s. 6d., W. Scott; Kreutzer Sonata (alone), is., W. Scott; transl.

 Master and Servant [1895]. 1895 
 
 One of Tolstoy's later stories expressing his gospel of the divine charity latent in human

 Resurrection [1899]. 1900 
 
 First half of a novel designed to rival War and Peace in length, and in the fullness of its repre- 
 sentation of Ufe. Partly composed in his early period, the book is nevertheless in pur- 
 pose a moral and social tract, enunciating Tolstoy's gospel of brotherhood, and exposing 
 the evils of modern civiUzatron most flagrant in Russia. It is a tremendous indictment 
 not only of the Russian criminal system, but of accepted morahty. An aristocratic 
 worldling, brought face to face as juryman with the girl whom he ruined, repents, with 
 Russian impulsiveness, and devotes his whole soul .to the task of saving her. He offers 
 to marry the abandoned prostitute ; he follows her to Siberia. His self-sacrifice is the 
 moral regeneration of both." [Transl. by Louise Maude, illus. by Pasternak, 2S. 6d. n..

 Stories and Dramas. 1911 
 
 Father Sergius ; and other Stories and Plays. 1912 
 
 Hadji Murad ; and other Stories. 1912 
 
 Three collections of writings which Tolstoy deliberately withheld from publication, not be- 
 cause of any literary inferiority, but apparently through his gradual revulsion from art 
 and absorption in ethical teaching. The Forged Coupon (unfinished) is a powerful story 
 of the infinite complex of dire consequences produced by one thoughtless act. In working 
 out this process, Tolstoy exhibits almost every class and type of Russian society on the 
 stage before us. (The French edn., Le Faux Coupon, also contains a wonderful story The 
 Devil (1889), a drama of sensual obsession, a companion piece to the Kreutzer Sonata). 
 My Dream is one of Tolstoy's most pathetic stories of the divine power of love and its 
 infinite capacity for forgiveness. Father Sergius tells, characteristically, how a monk with 
 a great reputation for holiness and self-renunciation learns from a simple girl that, after 
 all, he is only a great egoist. Hadji Murdd, the longest of these stories, is an early pro- 
 duction, giving a fine picture of the Caucasian struggle for independence (cf. The Cossacks 
 and The Invaders). Tolstoy met Hadji Murad in 1851. [All three ed. by C. T. Hagberg

 " TuR, Eugenia," Countess Ehzaveta Vasil'evna Sahas de Toumemir. The 
 Shalonski Family : a Tale of the Invasion of Russia. 1882 
 
 The quiet country life of a pious Russian and his family, and the troubles created by the 
 irruption of the French (1812) ; a simple story, related by a young girl. [Transl. by C. J. 
 Cooke, ios. 6d., Remington : o.p.] 
 
 TuRGENEV, Ivan Sergyevich [1818-83]. A Sportsman's Sketches [1847-51]. 1896 
 
 Stories and studies loosely strung together on the thread of a wanderer's adventures. The 
 sketches of serfs and serfdom bring out touchingly the simple loyalty, affection, and 
 immeasurable endurance of the Russian poor. The scenery of central Russia is finely 
 pictured. Turgenev's great characteristic is the pure objectivity of his method. He seems 
 absolutely unbiassed, so much so that one reader expects satire where another sees perfect 
 sympathy. The characters appear to live and move independently of their creator, whose 
 art is so complete that its subtlety and perfection are invisible except to the critical 
 analyst. [2 vols.] 
 
 The Jew ; and other Stories [1846-68]. 1900 
 
 The Jew is a psychological study of a man about to be hanged. The other four, written at 
 various dates, are all melancholy. The epilogue Enough expresses the saddest of judg- 
 ments on hfe, its brevity and worthlessness, while art is said to be only a fleeting image 
 of beauty. An Unhappy Girl, the longest story, is the miserable history of a Russian 
 gentleman's illegitimate daughter. From the ignoble humanity surrounding her she 
 accepts persecution and ignominy ; but it is reserved for a young man whose nature is 
 " too awfully symmetrical " to bring this proud, chtiste girl to despair and suicide. 
 
 The Diary of a Superfluous Man ; and other Stories [1850-64]. 1899 
 
 This autobiography of an unfortunate man of limited mental powers finely exhibits Turgenev's 
 abstruse explorations of the human heart, and also his NihiUsm. A Tour in the Forest and 
 Yakov and Pasinkov are tales that might have been included in A Sportsman's Sketches. 
 Andrei Kolosov is a good specimen of his compact and pointed story-telling, reading hke 
 a piece of actual observation ; it is a curious study of love-making, or rather of the working 
 of a young man's mind at the season of love-making, and the humour is as keen as the 
 mental analysis. 
 
 — Rudin [1855]. 1894 
 
 Almost a satire, so ruthless is the showing up of the empty enthusiasm, the ineffectual idealism, 
 and the weakness of principle in the unpractical Rudin, an embodiment of one of the most 
 enervating traits in the national character, and of the ardent Liberalism of the time ; but 
 removed from satire by the sympathy which even such weakness inspires in a critic of 
 Turgenev's cathoUc insight. Rudin excites love in a girl far too good for him, and is brought 
 into damaging contrast, in a most natural way, with a number of admirable but less showy 
 types of the Russian gentry.

RUSSIAN FICTION 
 
 TuRGENEV, Ivan Sergyevich {continued). — A Lear of the Steppes ; and other 
 Stories [1855-70]. 1898 
 
 The tragic tale of Harlov of the Steppes is a supreme example of Turgenev's imaginative 
 interpretation of Ufe, and of his habit of embodjdng the universal in an episode. It is the 
 tragedy of a powerful nature ; and the novehst shows with exquisite art how the tragic 
 event affects the household and relatives of the sufferer, and how the whole Ufe of the com- 
 munity in which heUved is more or less influenced by his death. Among the other stories, 
 Faust is a psychological study of a singular problem, the awakening of the imagination 
 in a woman from whom imaginative hterature has been carefully kept ; and Acta is an 
 imaginative souvenir of Turgenev's student-life in Germany. 
 
 A House of Gentlefolk [1858]. 1894 
 
 A touching, refined, and beautiful story of two lovers separated by Fate. Lavretsky tells 
 his love to Liza in the belief that his false wife is dead ; but the latter returns, and these 
 two pure natures, in their different ways, suffer the bitterness of estrangement with noble 
 patience. Liza is Turgenev's most beautiful woman character. (Also entitled A Nest 
 of Noblemen) . 
 
 — — On the Eve [1859]. 1895 
 
 Another love-tale ending unhappily : in Elena the whole nature of a pure girl is revealed, and 
 the minor characters are portrayed with similar intimacy. The foregoing novels belong 
 to Turgenev's period of youthful dreams and enthusiasms ; this marks the close of the 
 Nicholas regime, and forecasts the new epoch. Elena symbolizes young Russia ; Uvar 
 Ivanovich represents the Slav, and points to the future unification of the Slav peoples. 
 
 Fathers and Children [1861]. 1895 
 
 A novel that mirrored and revealed to Russian readers the real nature and significance of the 
 momentous changes in the outlook upon life, the attitude to science, and the pohtical and 
 social ideas which were taking place in the minds of the younger generation at that epoch. 
 The age that was passing and that about to dawn are represented each by a considerable 
 variety of characters, both, after Turgenev's wont, being treated with the same artistic 
 detachment. The character that in sheer intellectual interest and the complex elements 
 of a strong personaUty stands out pre-eminent, both here and in Turgenev's novels as a 
 whole, is Bazarov, the archetype of Nihilism. Beside him, the other people, with all 
 their humours and foibles and conflicting personal interests, are quite secondary. The 
 pathos of the close is overwhelming. 
 
 Smoke [1867]. 1896 
 
 Litvinof , a young Russian, betrothed to an innocent girl, is seized with a passion for a brilUant 
 woman in Society, who returns his love but shrinks from elopement. She, the matchless 
 coquette, the woman of impulse and caprice, but devoid of any strength of character, is 
 the heroine of the drama, though a maleficent one. Their phases of passion and hesitation 
 are rendered in a few short scenes, with complete naturalness and absence of conventional 
 artistry, and a most convincing power. In the onward march of humanity, says the author, 
 the deeds and the sufferings of the individual are as smoke, full of spasms, convulsions, 
 cataclysms, but annihilated in a moment. The empty, conventional, animal life of the 
 aristocrat, the vain talk of frothy enthusiasts, are touched in with refined art. 
 
 — — Virgin Soil [1876]. 1896 
 
 A reply to Dostoevski's Les Possides, which was itself called out by the Nihilist doctrines in 
 Fathers and Children. Both Turgenev and Dostoevski deal with the same theme: the 
 subterranean world of pohtical agitation and conspiracy then threatening the peace of 
 Russia. Like Smoke (which also was written in exile from Russia), this is bitter 
 in feeling and deeply pessimistic. The faint-hearted Neshdanof, despairing of the cause 
 of SociaUsm, in wluch he and the girl he loves are workers, takes his own fife. The official 
 classes are painted in dark colours. [2 vols.] 
 
 The Torrents of Spring [1871] ; and other Stories [1877]. 1897 
 
 An idyll of youth and love in a German town ; the characters are chiefly Italians and Russians, 
 with a sweet-uatured girl beloved by one of Turgenev's dreamy and intellectual but weak- 
 hearted Russians. He is seduced by a modern Circe, who cares nothing for the man she 
 enslaves ; and we have the inevitable conclusion, burdened with regret for the happiness 
 that might have been.

 Clara Militch is a tragic story of hallucination ; Phantoms, a poetical rhapsody on a man's

 {Vida y hechos del picaro Guzmdn de Alfarache) [1599]. 1622 
 
 One of the most famous rogue-stories, presenting a lively view of people and manners in Spain 
 and Italy. Guzman, a low, canting scoundrel, whose rascally doings either get himself 
 into trouble or injure his employers, appears as street beggar, man of fashion, sharper, 
 pimp, reUgious student, and in other characters. But the story is portentously overloaded, 
 to modern tastes, with moral disquisitions of an irrelevant and conceited kind. [Transl. by

 Anon. Amadis of Gaul [Amadis de Gaula) [1508]. 1619. 
 
 Supposed author, Vasco de Loberia the Portuguese (d. 1403), the first known edn. (1508) gives 
 author as Garcirodriguez de Montalvo ; Kelly says Joham de Lobeira (1261-1325). 
 But a French origin has been claimed by Scott and others, and there are weighty argu- 
 ments for a CastiUan original (fourteenth century). Cervantes called it the earUest and 
 best of the Spanish romances 'of chivalry. (It is mentioned in the Spanish translation of 
 Egidio Colonua's De Regimine Principum, c. 1350). First printed at Salamanca, 1508. 
 Thomas Paynel translated a selection, The Treasurie of Amadis of Fraunce (1567), and 
 Anthony Munday, " a dismal draper of misplaced hterary ambitions " (Kelly), translated 
 the Amadis and several continuations (1589-1619), both from the French. The period 
 of the story is antecedent to that of Arthur, but geography and chronology are as imaginary 
 as in the Faity Queen. Like the Arthurian and Carlovingian romances, Amadis reflects 
 the maim.ers, reHgion, and the ideas of love, honour, and moraUty that prevailed when it 
 was written. Obviously inspired by Arthurian romance and the romans d'aventure, the 
 action exhibits the same variety of incident ; there are monsters, giants, and enchant- 
 ments without end ; but the author's inventions have nothing of the Celtic glamour 
 and mysticism. Gaula is Wales. Beginning with the romantic birth and casting away of 
 Amadis, the story recites his adventures as Child of the Sea, and proceeds to interweave 
 two threads, his career as a knight-errant of invincible prowess and the vicissitudes of 
 his love for Oriana. The adventures of his brother Galaor are another thread. Oriana's 
 jealousy and its consequences, the wars with the race of Giants, the deeds of Amadis in 
 the disguise of Beltenebros and, later, as the Knight of the Green Sword, and the great 
 war for the hand of Oriana, .are brought to a natural end by the ordeal of the Forbidden 
 Chamber and the marriage of hero and heroine. But a large number of continuations, in 
 Spanish, French, and Itahan, carry the history much further, dealing in a markedly 
 inferior manner with the exploits of descendants and kinsmen. Amadis is a mirror of 
 courtesy and knightly valour, of chastity and fealty to his love ; in him every virtue is 
 carried to excess. Noble sentiment shines through every episode, and inspires many 
 admirable sayings. Merely by curtaiUng the prohxity of his original Southey reduced 
 the story to half its length. He used the Spanish version of Garcia Ordonez de Montalvo 
 (1508), who added the fourth book ; but he kept before him Munday's version, for the sake 
 of its antique language. [Transl. by A. Monday, J589-1619; 5th Part, transl. anon.,

 Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de [1547-1616]. Galatea : a Pastoral Romance 
 [1585]. 1867 
 
 An unfinished pastoral on the conventional pattern of Sannazaro and Montemayor, after- 
 wards laughed at in Don Quixote, where, however, the author pays a sly comphment 
 to his own production. Said to have been his own favourite among his works, and meant 
 to be completed by a second part. The characters are the usual nymphs and shepherds 
 engaged in amorous converse on the banks of the Tagus, singing love-songs, etc. Full of 
 digressions and episodes, of rhetorical flights and philosophical disquisitions, with profuse 
 imitations of classical mythology. A better model of Spanish prose than Don Quixote, 
 though the prose has the rather tedious graces of imitative romance. [Transl. by G. W. J.

 Don Quixote de la Mancha [1605-15]. 1612-20 
 
 One of the greatest books in the world — a satire on romances of chivalry, and an interpretation 
 of human life by a profound comic philosopher. Incidentally, as it were, the story depicts 
 with perfect reaUsm the Spanish world of the time in all its principal phases. The minor 
 characters are the everyday people whom the author and his readers were best acquainted 
 with, and are strongly national and even local in their traits. No better representation 
 exists of Spanish Ufe at that period. The immortal pair, Don Quixote, the mad ideahst, and 
 Sancho Panza, the quintessence of vulgar commonsense, have been copied in numerous 
 hterary forms. [Transl. by H. E. Watts, 5 vols., 105s., Quaritch, 1888-9 (the best transl.

 Exemplary Novels {Novelas exemplar es) [1613]. 1855 
 
 Written 1588-1603 ; picaresque stories, miniature romances, and mere anecdotes ; all designed, 
 
 though light in tone, to enforce a moral. To Spaniards, it has been pointed out, they are 
 what Boccaccio's tales are to Italians. Some are femaitably modern in style. One of 
 the best is Rinconete and Cortadillo, a comic story of two knaves, that gives a humorous 
 account of the vagabond characters for which Seville was famous. Pointed and witty, 
 full of brisk action and of humorous portraits from all grades of society, but most strik- 
 ingly of the picaresque class — gipsies, thieves, bonarobas, and the Uke — in whose adventures 
 Cervantes relates his own experiences in Italy, Spain, and Africa. [Transl. by J. Mabbe

 Cid. The Chronicle of the Cid [i6th century]. 1808 
 
 Transl. from three books, (i) Cronica del Cid (printed 1552), a secondary history based on 
 Alfonso's Estoria de Espanna, (2) Cronica General de Espana (printed 1541), which may 
 possibly have been the source of the former chronicle (both are of high antiquity as MSS.), 
 (3) Poema del Cid (composed, c. 1135-75), the oldest poem in Spanish. Southey also made 
 some use of the Romancero del Cid, ancient ballads of Httle historical authority. The 
 real Cid, Ruy Diaz de Bivar (6. 1030—40, d. 1099) was probably as selfish, unscrupulous, 
 and ferocious as he was brave and patriotic ; the Cid of romance, as he is here depicted, 
 is a more perfect hero than Amadis, Esplandian, or Palmerin. In effect, Southey's com- 
 pilation ranks as an historical novel, though the documents on which it is based purport 
 to be history. In spite of the ideaUzing tendency alluded to, the recital ha.s the strength

 and tlie dramatic energy of reality, and differs from the Spianish romances of chivalry as 
 a hero-saga differs from Italian opera. The career of the Cid, as here related, gives a unity 
 and an order like that of epic narrative to the incidents of the wars between the Kings of 
 Castille, Arragon, and Navarre, and the struggles with the Moors. The outstanding 
 episodes are the repeated banishment of the Cid, his wars with the Moors, the capture of 
 Valencia (which he erects into a kingdom for himself) , the outrage of the Cid's sons-in-law, 
 the Infantes of Carrion, upon his daughters (who, by the way, are mythical) and the aveng- 
 ing thereof, with the death of the Cid and the last battle, where bis dead body puts the 
 Moors to flight. [Transl. by Robert Southey, is. 6d. n., Warne.]

 Otherwise called The Book of Patronio (El Libro de Patronio) and The Book of Examples ; the 
 Spanish Decameron or Arabian Nights. Fifty-one stories of various origins — .^sopian. 
 Oriental, and mediaeval — related by Patronio the councillor to his patron Count Lucanor. 
 They are mostly adapted to the manners and superstitions of Spain, and to the national 
 taste for morahzing. Juan Manuel was the second great prose writer of Spain, and in his 
 CastiUan prose he forged a weapon of admirable force and temper. " The honour of being 
 the forerunner of the real modem short story must be awarded to the Spanish prince "

 Lazarillo de Tormes : the Pleasant History of Lazarillo de Tormes (La Vida de 
 Lazarillo de Tormes-, y de sus fortunas y adversidades) [1554]. 1576 
 
 Attributed to the poet Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (1503-75), though without sufi&cient 
 proof. Original model of that thoroughly Spanish production, the novela picaresca, or 
 rogue-story. Lazaro, autobiographer and hero, son of a miller and a trull, enters the service 
 of all kinds of people, and gets on by flattery and cunning, until he ends as town crier 
 of Toledo. This plan enables the author to describe many aspects of Spanish life — low 
 hfe especially — with accuracy and pointed wit ; and a motley assortment of characters, 
 the rogue's successive masters, the bhnd beggar, the skinflint priest, the alguazil, the starv- 
 ing hidalgo, etc. The character-portrait of the vendor of indulgences led to the banning 
 of the book by the Inquisition ; in spite of which it was speedily translated into French, 
 German, ItaUan, and EngUsh. (There was an EngUsh transl. by David Rowland in 
 1576), and Martin Hume mentions a 1568 version. The Marvelus Dedes and Lyf of Lazaro

 MoNTEMAYOR, Jorge de [d. 1561]. Diana (Diana Enamorada) [1558-9]. 1598 
 
 One of the most celebrated of the pastorals that succeeded the romances of chivalry. 
 It was modelled on the Arcadia (1502) of the NeapoUtan Sannazaro who, like Baptista 
 Mantuanus and Boccaccio in his Ameto, sought refreshment in the charms of the woods 
 and fields from the jaded Ufa of cities. Sannazaro pictured his simple life in placid scenes 
 that form a setting to eclogues imitated from Virgil. Montemayor's is a complete romance 
 with human interest and pathos. The plot is how three swains, who have loved and lost, 
 or loved and forsaken, meet by the river Esla, and tell the story of their griefs. They are

 affection. AH journey to the temple of Diana, whose priestess gives each a potion in- 
 ducing obUvion of the old love and growth of a new, for which the priestess furnishes

 mingling of chivalric and pastoral elements. MontSmayor's prose is not so euphuistic 
 and overstrained as Sidney's. [Transl. by Bartholomew Yong (1598), together with

 These adventures of the Knight of the Sun (Caballero del Sole), a kinsman of Amadis, are one 
 of the most fantastic, compUcated, and extravagant of the chivalric romances. Margaret 
 Tyler's translation was an attempt to popularize these Spanish effusions, and her ex- 
 ample was speedily foUowed by Anthony Munday with the Palmerin, etc. [First Part (1578)

 Palmerin de Oliva [1511]. 1588 
 
 Palmerin of England [1547-8]. 1581 
 
 Palmerin is hero of the most important family of chivalric romances after the Amadis cycle. 
 The original Palmerin de Oliva is said to have been written by a carpenter's daughter, but 
 Francisco Vazquez of Ciudad Rodrigo (see p. 638) may have been the author. First printed at 
 Salamanca, 1511 ; translated into English by Anthony Munday, through the French 
 and Itahan (1588) ; he translated the history of Palmerin's son, Primaleon (1512) in 1597. 
 Like Amadis, the hero is of romantic birth and extraordinary prowess. He goes forth as a 
 knight-errant in search of adventures, slays numerous monsters, fights the Grand Turk, 
 marries PoUnarda, daughter of the Emperor of Germany, and becomes Emperor of 
 Byzantium. The book contains many warm love scenes. There were many continuations 
 in Spanish, French, and ItaUan, the most famous of the whole series being the sixth book, 
 Palmerin de Inglaterra, by Francisco de Moraes (or Luis Hurtado) , which Munday trans- 
 lated partly through the French, and partly from a Portuguese version through the Itahan 
 (Southey edited and abridged this translation, 4 vols, 1807). This relates the early ad- 
 ventures of Palmerin and Florian, twin children of Palmerin's daughter Flerida and King 
 Duardos of England, adventures resembling those of Valentine and Orson. The chief 
 scenes of their exploits are England and Constantinople. In emulation of Amadis and 
 Galaor, they fight with each other, and with giants, knights, pagans, and other foes 
 innumerable. Of the monotonous and perplexing chronicle of knight-errantry the most 
 interesting episode is that concerning the Perilous Isle. The knights and giants are fairly 
 well drawn ; the female characters are nulUties. Cervantes eulogized the book with 
 enthusiasm ; Dunlop praises it with moderation. Ford's romance, Parismus, Prince of 
 Bohemia (1598), is founded on Palmerin. [Transl. by Anthony Munday, 1588 : o.p. ;

 the daughter of an innkeeper, who had trained her to dupe the customers, a practice which 
 she pursues, on an extended scale, after his death, among the inhabitants of Leon and

 A play or dialogue in 16 acts, extended later to 21 . A tragedy of ilhcit passion ; "a completely 
 original masterpiece," says Kelly, " unique in its kind." " His realism and his pessimistic 
 fulness are above all praise. . . . His purpose is to give a transcript of Hfe, objective and 
 impersonal, and he fulfils it, adding thereunto a mysterious touch of sombre imagination." 
 " His book took the world by storm . . . and was passed from the Spanish stage to be 
 glorified as Romeo and Juliet. Celestina acts as go-between to the lovers, who in the end 
 commit suicide. Not a picaresque novel, not a novel at all in form and method." Transla- 
 tions of The Tragicke Comedye of Celestina appeared in 1530 (Martin Hume), 1591 (?), and 
 1598 (?). Mabbe's fine translation of 1631 was reprinted in W. E. Henley's Tudor Transla- 
 tions, 2 vols., 1894. Mr. Warner Allen contributes a long and learned introduction dealing 
 with the rise of reahsm, the question of the authorship of the Celestina, and the extraordi-

 in England, though one of the masterpieces of literature. [Transl. by James Mabbe, 1631.

 AcEBAL, Francisco. Face to Face ; and, Dolorosa : Two novels of Modern Spain. 1906 
 In Face to Face, the downfall of the old aristocratic regime before the onslaught of capitalism 
 and industrialism is represented in the encroachments of an EngUsh ironfounder on the 
 estates of an impoverished marquis in N.W. Spain. The Mater Dolorosa is the mother of an 
 idoHzed son of successful tradespeople, whom she and his father educate to be an artist. 
 He grows ashamed of his humdrum parents, and breaks his mother's heart by selfish

 Blasco Ibanez, Vincente. The Shadow of the Cathedral [1903]. 1909 
 
 Signor Blasco Ibinez is a proUiic noveUst. La Cathedral is a characteristic novel with a 
 clear thesis to propound. It centres artistically in the splendid cathedral of Toledo, 
 stronghold of the despotic ecclesiasticism to which Spain owes its present decadence. A 
 young seminarist brought up amid these influences goes out into the world and is dis- 
 illusioned, his religious zeal turning to a hot enthusiasm for science. Imprisoned as an 
 Anarchist, he returns a physical wreck to the Cathedral, where he is sheltered by his 
 orthodox brother. The story ends in an ironical tragedy, the self-sacrifice and eloquent 
 teaching of the enthusiast serving only to inflame his simple-minded hearers with the idea 
 that revolution means destruction. [Transl. by Mrs. W. A. Gillespie, 6s., Constable.]

 Maria is affianced to the Marquis, a man of the world, who takes his religious duties easily ; 
 but she is afflicted by religious scruples, and fears that their union will be a surrender to 
 carnal desires. She is a most interesting case of exaggerated mysticism, and, as in the 
 Dona Perfecta of Galdos, the novelist utilizes her pious extravagance to satirize the morbid 
 influence of the clergy, and, further, their interference in political affairs, a CarUst agitation 
 springing out of the personal complication. Life in an old town (Avilds) in the Asturias is 
 depicted in a very picturesque and animated way. [Transl. by N. H. Dole, $1.50,

 In this and the next novel the heroine is the author's wife (now dead) : she appears here as

 predominant.

SPANISH FICTION 
 
 Palacio Valdes, Armando (continued). — Maximina [sequel; 1887]. 1888 
 
 A simple plot, with characters including dignified Spanish dons and fascinating ladies. Maxi- 
 mina is a shy and modest maiden, with a reserve of strong character ; her husband, a 
 more ordinary person, is chastened by misfortune into a worthier mate. Sister Saint 
 Sulpice is a friend of Maximina in Madrid. [Transl. by N. H. Dole, ?i.50, 50c., Crowell,

 The Fourth Estate (El Quarto Poder) [1888], 1901 
 
 A tragic story of wedded life ; prime actors a husband, a heartless and guilty wife, and her 
 noble sister, who loves the man, but sacrifices herself to make them happy. Many of the 
 episodes are entertaining, sketching the humours of provincial society and satirizing 
 corrupt journalism. [Transl. by Rachel Challice, 6s., De La More Press.] 
 
 Sister Saint Sulpice (La Hermana San Sulpicio) [1889]. 1890 
 
 , A thoroughly Spanish story, in spite of obvious French influences ; scene, Seville, the warm, 
 many-coloured, passionate Ufe of which makes a lively picture. The Sister Saint Sulpice, 
 who leaves her convent after taking the vows for four years, is loved by a GaUcian, but the 
 match is opposed by her mother. The interest, however, is chiefly in the drawing of 
 characters and manners. [Transl. by N. H. Dole, $1.50, Crowell, New York.] 
 
 Froth (La Espuma) [1890]. 1891 
 
 A work as advanced in its realism as any by the French naturahsts. The fashionable life of 
 Madrid, the shady flnancial doings, the tyranny of capital, the corrupt pleasures and 
 adulteries of the fast set, and the coarseness of manners that makes them pecuUarly re- 
 pulsive ; with no plot beyond the story of a liaison and its wretched termination. A 
 gallery of representative characters is presented in the harshest colours. [Transl. by 
 Clara Bell, 3s. 6d., Heinemann : o.p.] 
 
 The Grandee (El Maestrante) [1894]. 1894 
 
 Provincial society and the secluded Ufe of the rural gentry. Lancia represents Oviedo half a 
 century ago. Earlier half full of quaintness and humour ; second half tragic, dealing 
 with a revengeful mother's crimes. Brings out in a striking fashion the pride and narrow- 
 ness of the Spanish upper classes, and their antique picturesqueness. [Transl. by Rachel 
 Challice, 3s. 6d., Heinemann : o.p.] 
 
 The Joy of Captain Ribot (La Alegria del Capitdn Ribot) [1899]. 1900 
 
 As a picture of nobihty of character, the triumph of honesty and manly feeling over libertinism, 
 this book, written in denunciation of " the eternal adultery of the French novel," is one 
 of his finest. In the lady of the piece we have a model of a true wife. Captain Ribot begins 
 to court her, but is shamed by her purity and dignity. Has a good deal of distinctively 
 Spanish humour, but the characterization often falls into caricature. Contains a good 
 picture of bourgeois life and manners in Valencia. [Transl. by Minna C. Smith, 6s.,

 Pardo Bazan, Emilia [Signora Quiroga ; b. 1851]. The Son of the Bondwoman

 Madame Pardo Bazdn is an enthusiastic admirer and follower of Zola, whose principles she 
 extolled in her Cuestidn Palpitanie, a study of modem reaUsm. This novel {Los Pazos de 
 Ulloa) is a naturalistic picture of Ufe in an old-fashioned village in GaUcia. The chief 
 figure is an indolent and self-indulgent hidalgo, the Marquis of Ulloa, who for years has 
 been under the thumb of his steward, a plundering, masterful rogue. The Marquis wants 
 to marry, but unfortunately the steward's daughter has long been his mistress. Com- 
 plications begin with the advent of the bride, and events soon turn to tragedy — a tragedy 
 evolving naturally out of the conflicting forces of character. The sequel. La Madre

 P6rez Galdos, Benito [b. 1849]. Lady Perfecta {Dona Perfeda) [1876]. 1894 
 
 The social problem which engrosses so much of the author's interest, the struggle between 
 scientific and social enhghtenmeut and the tyrannous obscurantism of the Church, is here 
 set forth in the domestic conflict of a group of characters and the political strife agitating 
 a provincial town. Dona Perfecta is a devout lady whose daughter is sought by a promis- 
 ing young man, a representative of modernism. A wily priest is her chief ally, and eventu- 
 ally the rival intrigues drag in a host of forces on either side, the anarchic elements that 
 exist beneath the surface in modem Spain being strikingly revealed. [Transl. by Mary

 A novel of hfe and passion, dealing with the tendencies and problems of the new era, the main 
 action being the conjugal troubles of a sceptical husband and a deeply rehgious wife, 
 who fail in their efforts to persuade each other : the issue is misery and separation. The 
 various social classes, decadent aristocrats, pseudo-reUgious enthusiasts, unbelievers, 
 etc., are well portrayed. [Transl. by Mrs. Clara Bell, 2 vols., 5s., Paul : o.p.] 
 
 Marianela [1878]. 1893 
 
 A blind young man of wealth is the hero ; he ideaUzes the poor, stunted peasant girl who

 themselves are characterized by a quaint and artless simplicity that is very touching. 
 The young man recovers his sight and Marianela's dream ends abruptly. [Transl. by

 EcA DE QuEiROZ, Jose Maria [1843-1900]. Our Lady of the Pillar (0. Defunio). 1906 
 
 E9a de Queiroz is a Portuguese, and acclaimed as the founder of the realist school in that country. 
 
 This is a story of fifteenth-century Spain, a story of passionate love and jealousy, mystery 
 
 and horror, told with intense imagination and vivid realism, and also with artistic economy 
 
 of means and efiect. [Transl. by E. Prestage, 2s. 6d. n.. Constable.] 
 
 The Sweet Miracle (Suave Milagre). 1905 
 
 This also is a work of finished art — -3. fanciful story of the Holy Land and the days of Christ, 
 witli the poignancy of meaning of a fine apologue. [Transl. by E. Prestage, $i n., 50c. n., 
 Mosher, Portland, Maine.] 
 
 Valera y Alcala Galiano, Juan [1827-1905]. Pepita Jimenez [1874]. 1891 
 The theme is natural feeling and passion overcoming the restraints of sacerdotal training. 
 The beautiful, passionate heroine is the wooer, the hero being a seminarist ; the love- 
 tale is the self-revelation of these two in their letters. Light and sceptical in treatment, 
 in construction rather loose and discursive. Being a thoroughly native production in 
 feeling, method, and character, it marks the renaissance of Spanish fiction. [Transl. by 
 Mary J. Serrano, 3s. 6d., 2s. 6d., Heinemann ; $1, Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Comendador Mendoza [1877]. 1893 
 
 The problem to be solved is how the Comendador Mendoza and Dona Blanca, who has 
 
 deceived her husband, shall prevent their illegitimate daughter from inheriting the hus- 
 band's wealth. The solution is the resultant of the different forces of human nature 
 brought into play; in other words, the characterization gives much the same sort of 
 interest as that of a plot-novel, with deeper interests superadded. Mr. Fitzmaurice-Kelly 
 describes it as "a transfigured piece of autobiography." [Transl. by Mary J. Serrano, 
 $1, 50C., Appleton, New York.] 
 
 Doiia Luz [1879]. 1891 
 
 a many-sided picture of life in an Andalusian town, with much the same central situation 
 
 as that in Pepita Jiminez. The theological discussions a little tiresome, and the missionary 
 priest and Doiia Luz — ^in whom Valera's pet theme of sensuous mysticism is embodied — ^are 
 somewhat forced ; otherwise free from Spanish extravagance, and the social and pohtical 
 pictures true to life. [Transl. by Mary J. Serrano, %i, 50c., Appleton, New York.] 
 Other novels are Las lUusiones del Doctor Faustina (1898) and De Varios Colores (1898).

 /. ARABIAN FICTION 
 
 Arabian Nights' Entertainments : consisting of One Thousand and One Stories 
 told by the Sultaness of the Indies to divert the Sultan from the execution of a 
 bloody vow (alluded to in loth century). between 1704 and 1712 
 
 The one book in Arabian literature which has cosmopolitan interest. A huge collection of 
 entertaining tales of unknown origin. Scheherazade, wife of a tyrannical Sultan, is sup- 
 posed to tell her lord a story each night in order to avert the decree that each of his brides 
 shall hve but one day. The stories of Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor, of Haroun-al-Raschid, 
 the jovial Cahph, AH Bdba and the Forty Thieves, and many others, are as well known to 
 Enghsh people of every age as any stories from their native literature. The stories are 
 fantastic, but the portraiture of Oriental life is the most graphic and authentic that we 
 have. They rank with those of the Decameron as supreme examples of the art of the short 
 story. [The title quoted at head of note is that of the English rendering of Galland's 
 transl. from Arabic into French. The handiest Enghsh transl. is, however. Lane's, which 
 was originally published 1838-40. The edition of Lane cited below gives text of 1859 edn., 
 which was collated with Lane's own annotated copy of first edn. Aladdin and Ali Bdba 
 are added from present editor's transl. from M. Zotenberg's Arabic text and the English 
 version of Galland. Lane's very copious notes on Mohammedan reUgion, superstitions, 
 laws, customs, dress, Uterature, etc., have been omitted or cut down. What notes there 
 are appear at foot of page ; and textual variations at end of each vol. The other two 
 standard translations are Payne's and Sir Richard Burton's. Lane translated rather 
 more than 100 tales, Payne 266, Burton 267 (171 primary and 96 secondary). Lane used 
 a defective version, and omitted to an undue extent ; Payne and Burton from a collation 
 of the best versions. Payne " first taught the world what The Nights really is," says 
 Burton. His translation is scholarly, and in strong, masculine English, though larded 
 with needlessly coarse expressions. Burton's is said to be practically an adaptation of 
 Payne's. Lady Burton's edn. was modified for family reading by J. Huntly McCarthy, 
 and afterwards ed. by her, the omissions amounting to 215 pp. out of 3156. It com- 
 prises only 10 out of the 16 vols. Burton's translation, whatever the method of its making, 
 is notable among all translations for its learned and painstaking accuracy, truth to the 
 letter and the spirit of the original, and for its racy and expressive but unchastened 
 style. He was unsurpassed as an orientalist, and his rendering shows a masterly command 
 of both Arabic and Enghsh. Smithers omits many gross passages in Burton's original 
 edn., but restores four-fifths of those left out of the first 10 vols, in Lady Burton's edn.

 The New Arabian Nights. 1882 
 
 Select tales not included in the translations of Galland or of Lane. Not to be confused with 
 the so-called New Arabian Nights — Arabian Tales, or a Continuation oj the Arabian Nights 
 Entertainments, stated to be newly transl. from original Arabic into French by Dom 
 Chavis and M. Cazotte, and thence into Enghsh by Robert Heron, 4 vols. (Edin. and Lond., 
 1792), 3 vols. (Lond., 1794). This was based on Arabic MSS., but the translation was so 
 free that it is usually regarded as a poor imitation of The Arabian Nights. Two new 
 tales, Mengraby the Magician (which suggested to Southey the idea of Thalaba) and the 
 farcical Robber Caliph, were memorable additions, however. [Transl. by W. F. Kirby, 
 2S. 6d., Sonnenschein : o.p.]

PERSIAN AND INDIAN FICTION 
 
 //. PERSIAN FICTION 
 
 Persian Tales : The Thousand and One Days. 1714-5 
 
 Rivalled the Arabian Nights in European popularity early in the eighteenth century. Englished 
 from Les Mille et Un Jour [sic] Contes Persanes traduits en Franpois, par M. Petis de la 
 Croix (1710-2). Their provenance is doubtful. Le Sage is said to have " assisted " the 
 translation. Anyhow, the stories are based on Oriental stories, and render the magic 
 and mystery of the East, as well as actual manners and customs and behefs, with the same 
 brilliance as the rival collection. There is more of the element of fantasy and enchantment, 
 and much more sentimentality, the old nurse who tells the tales to soothe a beautiful 
 princess who has lost her faith in man keeping mainly to the one theme of true love.

 ///. INDIAN FICTION 
 
 Bain, Francis W. A Digit of the Moon : a Hindoo Love-Story. 1899 
 
 Part of a cycle of sixteen stories, entitled The Churning of the Ocean of Time, each named 
 after a digit (an echpse) of the moon. A fairy-tale of a misogynist king who falls in love 
 with a portrait, and after searching out the original, puts to her a series of riddles that 
 baffles her reluctance. Full of Oriental humour and wisdom tricked out in a whimsical 
 dress. [" Transl. by F. W. Bain," 3s. 6d. n., Methuen.]

 A Draught of the Blue. 1905 
 
 An Indian myth, stated to be " translated from the original MS.," and, like the others in this 
 curious series of exotic masterpie(j,es, acknowledged to be an authentic interpretation of 
 the mythological fancy of Hindustan. [2s. 6d. n., Methuen.] 
 
 An Essence of the Dusk. 1906 
 
 The tragic story of a king's son of surpassing strength and beauty, who finds a wondrous 
 city in the desert inhabited by women and a sad old king, whose daughter is haunted by 
 a curse. He becomes the haunted princess's lover, and essays to overcome the powers 
 of evil, but after strange ordeals of enchantment both prince and princess perish. The 
 style of all these stories is as rich, sensuous, and fanciful, both in matter and diction, as 
 that of the Arabian Nights. They are located here, rather than in English Fiction, because 
 they seem to be derived from Oriental legend. They are far more truly the real thing 
 than any of the eighteenth-century imitations of Eastern story. [" Transl. from original 
 MS.," 2s. 6d. n., Methuen.]

 Bankimachandra Chattopadhyaya (continued). — Chandra Shekhar. 1904 
 
 The adventures of a spirited girl married to a staid old Braliinin. She runs away with a 
 rascally Englishman, but eventually returns in penitence. The Nawab and the Begum of 
 Bengal appear (late eighteenth century). Wretchedly translated. [6s., Luzac] 
 
 DuTT, Romesh Chunder [1848-1909]. The Slave Girl of Agra. 1909

 Career of a young Indian prince educated in England — a panorama of Indian life and ideas 
 with sidelights on Indian unrest. [6s. n., Rebman.] 
 
 The Seven Wise Masters : the History of the Seven Wise Masters of Rome. 
 
 c. 1505 
 A cycle of stories originating in the East, known as the book of Sindbad or Sendabar, an 
 Indian philosopher, c. 100 B.C. This original is unknown, though there is an analogous 
 collection in Sanskrit. The book was rendered into Arabic, Persian, Syriac, Greek {Syntipas), 
 Latin (Dolopathos) by Jean de Hauteseille, monk of Haute-Seille ; French (Li Romans 
 di Dolopathos, by the trouvSre Herbers), whence were derived German, Spanish, and Eng- 
 lish versions. Li Romans des sept Sages came from a different Latin original, and so again 
 did the Historia Septem Sapientium (Cologne, soon after invention of printing), whence 
 the work cited at head of this note was translated. The device adopted to link the stories 
 is the familiar one of delaying a certain punishment by a series of entertaining recitals ; 
 in this case a young prince falsely accused by his stepmother telling the tales to his father, 
 the Roman emperor. The collection represents the remotest sources traceable of many 
 stories used by the early ItaUan noveUsts. [Black-letter edns., printed by Wynkyn de 
 Worde (c. 1505), Copland (1550), J. C. for E. Blackmore, etc. (1653), etc.] 
 
 SwYNNERTON, Rev. Charles [ed.]. Romantic Tales of the Punjab : with, Indian 
 Nights' Entertainment. 1908 
 
 A collection of primitive Aryan, or at any rate pre-Mohammedan legends from the Punjab ; 
 mostly myths, hero-tales, and beast-stories, of intense interest to children and of im- 
 portance as folk-lore. Translated in a flowing idiomatic style that well conveys the native 
 spirit, dialogue and other impassioned passages being given in verse. Two works are now 
 combin,ed in one volume with a short new preface. The Romantic Tales appeared in 1903, 
 the Indian Nights' Entertainment in 1892. [6s. n., Constable.] 
 
 Turkish Tales : consisting of several extraordinary adventures ; with the History 
 of the Sultaness of Persia and the Viziers. 1708 
 
 This is a version of the Sindbad or Sendabar story (see The Seven Wise Masters), Indian in 
 origin, and adapted into many Oriental and European languages. The coimecting plot 
 is how a queen, whose criminal advances to her stepson have been rejected, tries to de- 
 stroy him ; and his defenders, the forty viziers, tell the irate father stories of wicked 
 women and loyal sons, the queen in opposition telling stories of wicked viziers and nefarious . 
 princes. One famous story, the Santon Barsisa (akin to Fatist), was the origin of Lewis's 
 Monk. Others were quoted in The Spectator. [Written originally in the Turkish Language 
 by Chec Zade for the use of Amurath II, and now done into English: o.p. Also included 
 in The Persian and the Turkish Tales Compleat, 1714 : o.p.]

 The original Japanese version is called The Cherry Blossom of a Spring Moor. A story grounded 
 on one of the old heroic plays ; the stilted diction preserving the right native flavour. 
 The village headman appeals to the Shogun (early seventeenth century) on behalf of his 
 fellows, knowing well that death is the inevitable penalty. A Uf e-like picture of the manners 
 and oppressive conditions of the feudal age. Tales of Old Japan, by Lord Redesdale, 
 also gives the story. [5s., Harper.]

 ness. His romance is full of wonderful adventures and mechanical achievements ; it also 
 comprises a touching love-story; but its main charm is the rich infusion of proverbial 
 philosophy, rendered with perfect understanding of the Japanese genius by Mr. Dickins.

INDEX OF 
 
 AUTHORS, TITLES, SUBJECTS, HISTORICAL NAMES 
 
 AND ALLUSIONS, PLACES, CHARACTERS, ETC. 
 
 Authors' names are in small capitals (Abbott, Rev. Jacob), Titles of books in ordinary print (Aaron in the Wildwoods), 
 Subjects, etc., in italics {A66^s, see Priests), and Main headings in large capitals (AMERICAN FICTION). 
 
 Titles of Jjooks are given after names of authors only when an author is represented by a single work ; when several works 
 are cited under an author only a page reference is given. No attempt has been made in this Index to classify stories 
 systematically, but the cross-references from topic to topic will enable readers to find most of the fiction dealing with the 
 larger subjects, e.g. religion and the various churches, sects, and religious movements, or illustrating literary tendencies 
 like sentimental or chivalric romance, parody, naturalism, etc. Under headings like "Marriage," '* Plot-novels," etc., 
 only those stories are indexed in which such topic or style of narrative is the outstanding feature.
