production of that particular time. I suppose that the greatest creative
period that the world has ever known occurred in England during the
years 1590-1616, and here is what Ben Jonson said in 1607: "Now,
especially in dramatic, or, as they term it, stage-poetry, nothing but
ribaldry, profanation, blasphemy, all license of offence to God and man
is practised. I dare not deny a great part of this, and am sorry I dare
not." In 1610 he wrote, "Thou wert never more fair in the way to be
cozened, than in this age, in poetry, especially in plays; wherein, now
the concupiscence of dances and of antics so reigneth, as to run away
from nature and be afraid of her, is the only point of art that tickles
the spectators." And in 1611 he said, "In so thick and dark an ignorance
as now almost covers the age ... you dare, in these jig-given times, to
countenance a legitimate poem." And the age which he damned is now
regarded as the world's high-water mark!
A man who teaches physics and chemistry is supposed to be familiar not
only with the history of his subject, but its latest manifestations;
with the work of his contemporaries. A man who teaches political economy
and sociology must read the most recent books on these themes both in
Europe and America--nay, he must read the newspapers and study the
markets, or he will be outstripped by his own pupils. A man who teaches
drawing and painting should not only know the history of art, but its
latest developments. And yet, when the teacher of literature devotes a
small portion of the time of his pupils to the contemplation of
contemporary poets, novelists, and dramatists, he is not only blamed for
doing so, but some teachers who are ignorant of the writers of their own
day boast of their ignorance with true academic pride.
A teacher cannot read every book that appears; he cannot neglect the
study and teaching of the recognised classics; but his attitude toward
the writers of his own time should not be one of either indifference or
contempt. The teacher of English literature should not be the last man
in the world to discover the name of an author whom all the world is
talking about. And I believe that every great university should offer,
under proper restrictions, at least one course in the contemporary
drama, or in contemporary fiction, or in some form of contemporary
literary art. The Germans are generally regarded as the best scholars in
the world, and they never think it beneath their dignity to recognise
living authors of distinction. While the British public were condemning
in true British fashion an author whom they had not read--Henrik
Ibsen--German universities were offering courses exclusively devoted to
the study of his works. Imagine a course in Ibsen at Oxford!
But not only should the teacher take an intelligent interest in
contemporary authors who have already won a wide reputation, he should
be eternally watchful, eternally hopeful--ready to detect signs of
promise in the first books of writers whose names are wholly unknown.
This does not mean that he should exaggerate the merits of every fresh
work, nor beslobber with praise every ambitious quill-driver. On the
contrary,--if there be occasion to give an opinion at all,--he should
not hesitate to condemn what seems to him shallow, trivial, or
counterfeit, no matter how big a "seller" the object in his vision may
be. But his sympathies should be warm and keen, and his mind always
responsive, when a new planet swims into his ken. One of the most joyful
experiences of my life came to me some years ago when I read _Bob, Son
of Battle_ with the unknown name Alfred Ollivant on the title-page. It
was worth wading through tons of trash to find such a jewel.
And is the literature of our generation really slight and mean? By
"Contemporary Literature" we include perhaps authors who have written or
who are writing during the lifetime of those who are now, let us say,
thirty years old. Contemporary literature would then embrace, in the
drama, Ibsen, Bjoernson, Victor Hugo, Henri Becque, Rostand, Maeterlinck,
Sudermann, Hauptmann, Pinero, Jones, and others; in the novel, Turgenev,
Tolstoi, Dostoievsky, Bjoernson, Hugo, Daudet, Zola, Maupassant, Heyse,
Sudermann, Hardy, Meredith, Stevenson, Kipling, Howells, Mark Twain,
and many others; in poetry, to speak of English writers alone, Tennyson,
Browning, Arnold, Swinburne, Morris, Kipling, Phillips, Watson,
Thompson, and others. Those who live one hundred years from now will
know more about the permanent value of the works of these men than we
do; but are these names really of no importance to teachers whose
speciality is literature?
APPENDIX C
TWO POEMS
It is interesting to compare the two following poems, written by two
distinguished English novelists, both men of fine intelligence, noble
character, and absolute sincerity. Mr. Hardy's poem appeared in the
_Fortnightly Review_, for 1 January, 1907.
NEW YEAR'S EVE
BY THOMAS HARDY
"I have finished another year," said God,
"In grey, green, white, and brown;
I have strewn the leaf upon the sod,
Sealed up the worm within the clod,
And let the last sun down."
"And what's the good of it?" I said,
"What reasons made You call
From formless void this earth I tread,
When nine-and-ninety can be read
Why nought should be at all?
"Yea, Sire; why shaped You us, 'who in
This tabernacle groan'?--
If ever a joy be found herein,
Such joy no man had wished to win
If he had never known!"
Then He: "My labours logicless
You may explain; not I:
Sense-sealed I have wrought, without a guess
That I evolved a Consciousness
To ask for reasons why!
"Strange, that ephemeral creatures who
By my own ordering are,
Should see the shortness of my view,
Use ethic tests I never knew,
Or made provision for!"
He sank to raptness as of yore,
And opening New Year's Day
Wove it by rote as theretofore,
And went on working evermore
In his unweeting way.
DOMINUS ILLUMINATIO MEA
BY RICHARD DODDRIDGE BLACKMORE
1
In the hour of death, after this life's whim,
When the heart beats low, and the eyes grow dim,
And pain has exhausted every limb--
The lover of the Lord shall trust in Him.
2
When the will has forgotten the life-long aim,
And the mind can only disgrace its fame,
And a man is uncertain of his own name,
The power of the Lord shall fill this frame.
3
When the last sigh is heaved and the last tear shed,
And the coffin is waiting beside the bed,
And the widow and the child forsake the dead,
The angel of the Lord shall lift this head.
4
For even the purest delight may pall,
The power must fail, and the pride must fall,
And the love of the dearest friends grow small--
But the glory of the Lord is all in all.
This poem, with the signature "R. D. B. in memoriam M. F. G." first
appeared in the _University Magazine_ in 1879. Although it has been
included in some anthologies, the author's name was kept an absolute
secret until July, 1909. In the _Athenaeum_ for 3 July, 1909, was printed
an interesting letter from Agnes E. Cook, by which we learn that the
late Mr. Blackmore actually _dreamed_ this poem, in its exact language
and metre. The letter from the author which was published in the same
_Athenaeum_ article, gives the facts connected with this extraordinary
dream.
Teddn Jany 5th 1879.
My Dear Sir.
Having lately been at the funeral of a most dear relation I was
there again (in a dream) last night, and heard the mourners sing
the lines enclosed, which impressed me so that I was able to write
them without change of a word this morning. I never heard or read
them before to my knowledge. They do not look so well on paper as
they sounded; but if you like to print them, here they are. Only
please not to put my name beyond initials or send me money for
them. With all good wishes to Mrs. Cook and yourself
Very truly yours
R. D. Blackmore.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE'S
A Certain Rich Man
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
Dr. Washington Gladden considered this book of sufficient
importance to take it and the text from which the title was drawn
as his subject for an entire sermon, in the course of which he
said: "In its ethical and social significance it is the most
important piece of fiction that has lately appeared in America. I
do not think that a more trenchant word has been spoken to this
nation since 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' And it is profoundly to be hoped
that this book may do for the prevailing Mammonism what 'Uncle
Tom's Cabin' did for slavery."
"Mr. White has written a big and satisfying book made up of the
elements of American life as we know them--the familiar humor,
sorrows, ambitions, crimes, sacrifices--revealed to us with
peculiar freshness and vigor in the multitude of human actions and
by the crowd of delightful people who fill his four hundred odd
pages.... It deserves a high place among the novels that deal with
American life. No recent American novel save one has sought to
cover so broad a canvas, or has created so strong an impression of
ambition and of sincerity."--_Chicago Evening Post._
E. B. DEWING'S
Other People's Houses
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"'Other People's Houses' possesses that distinction of style in
which most of our current American fiction is so lamentably
deficient, and it has in addition the advantage of a theme which is
a grateful relief from the usual saccharine love story admittedly
designed to suit the caramel age.... Miss Dewing has a fine feeling
for comedy and gives evidence of both genuine talent and a fresh
and vivid outlook upon life."--_New York Times._
"It is a story rich in atmosphere, in allusion, and in vistas....
The story is full of action. The characters have virility and in
certain instances charm, and the course of the story awakens no
little concern on the part of the reader. An interesting, varied,
and amusing group of persons is presented, and, ... take it for all
in all, it is a work of taste, discrimination, and power.... Its
publishers may congratulate themselves on having come upon another
oasis in the present desert of American fiction."--_Chicago
Tribune._
"If an unknown author is to keep an entire novel to this level,
that author will be unknown no longer, but at a single bound has
reached the height, not only of good American novelists, but of any
novelist doing fiction in these days."--_Chicago Post._

AMONG RECENT NOVELS
F. MARION CRAWFORD'S
Stradella
_Illustrated, cloth, 12mo, $1.50,_
"Schools of fiction have come and gone, but Mr. Crawford has always
remained in favor. There are two reasons for his continued
popularity; he always had a story to tell and he knew how to tell
it. He was a born story teller, and what is more rare, a trained
one."--_The Independent._
The White Sister
_Illustrated cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"Mr. Crawford tells his love story with plenty of that dramatic
instinct which was ever one of his best gifts. We are, as always,
absorbed and amused."--_New York Tribune._
"Good stirring romance, simple and poignant."--_Chicago Record
Herald._
"His people are always vividly real, invariably
individual."--_Boston Transcript._
ROBERT HERRICK'S
Together
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"An able book, remarkably so, and one which should find a place in
the library of any woman who is not a fool."--_Editorial in the New
York American._
A Life for a Life
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
Mr. W. D. Howells says in the _North American Review_: "What I
should finally say of his work is that it is more broadly based
than that of any other American novelist of his generation.... Mr.
Herrick's fiction is a force for the higher civilization, which to
be widely felt, needs only to be widely known."
JAMES LANE ALLEN'S
The Bride of the Mistletoe
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.25_
"He has achieved a work of art more complete in expression than
anything that has yet come from him. It is like a cry of the soul,
so intense one scarcely realizes whether it is put into words or
not."--_Bookman._
WINSTON CHURCHILL'S
Mr. Crewe's Career
_Illustrated, cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"Mr. Churchill rises to a level he has never known before and gives
us one of the best stories of American life ever written; ... it is
written out of a sympathy that goes deep.... We go on to the end
with growing appreciation.... It is good to have such a
book."--_New York Tribune._
"American realism, American romance, and American doctrine, all
overtraced by the kindliest, most appealing American humor."--_New
York World._
ELLEN GLASGOW'S
The Romance of a Plain Man
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"To any one who has a genuine interest in American literature there
is no pleasanter thing than to see the work of some good American
writer strengthening and deepening year by year as has the work of
Miss Ellen Glasgow. From the first she has had the power to tell a
strong story, full of human interest, but as the years have passed
and her work has continued it has shown an increasing mellowness
and sympathy. This is particularly evident in 'The Romance of a
Plain Man.'"--_Chicago Daily Tribune._
JACK LONDON'S
Martin Eden
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
The stirring story of a man who rises by force of sheer ability and
perseverance from the humblest beginning to a position of fame and
influence. The elemental strength, the vigor and determination of
Martin Eden, make him the most interesting character that Mr.
London has ever created. The plan of the novel permits the author
to cover a wide sweep of society, the contrasting types of his
characters giving unfailing variety and interest to the story of
Eden's love and fight.
ZONA GALE'S
Friendship Village
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"As charming as an April day, all showers and sunshine, and
sometimes both together, so that the delighted reader hardly knows
whether laughter or tears are fittest for his emotion.... The book
will stir the feelings deeply."--_New York Times._
To be followed by "Friendship Village Love Stories."
CHARLES MAJOR'S
A Gentle Knight of Old Brandenburg
_Illustrated, cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
Mr. Major has selected a period to the romance of which other
historical novelists have been singularly blind. The boyhood of
Frederick the Great and the strange wooing of his charming sister
Wilhelmina have afforded a theme, rich in its revelation of human
nature and full of romantic situations.
MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT'S
Poppea of the Post Office
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"A rainbow romance, ... tender yet bracing, cheerily stimulating
... its genial entirety refreshes like a cooling shower."--_Chicago
Record Herald._
"There cannot be too many of these books by 'Barbara.' Mrs. Wright
knows good American stock through and through and presents it with
effective simplicity."--_Boston Advertiser._
FRANK DANBY'S
Sebastian
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
Whenever a father's ideals conflict with a mother's hopes for the
son of their dreams, you meet the currents underlying the plot of
"Sebastian." Its author's skill in making vividly real the types
and conditions of London has never been shown to better advantage.
EDEN PHILLPOTTS'
The Three Brothers
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50_
"'The Three Brothers' seems to us the best yet of the long series
of these remarkable Dartmoor tales. If Shakespeare had written
novels we can think that some of his pages would have been like
some of these. Here certainly is language, turn of humor,
philosophical play, vigor of incident, such as might have come
straight from Elizabeth's day.... The book is full of a very moving
interest and is agreeable and beautiful."--_The New York Sun._
