A NEW FIELD OFFERED.
The Novelist Has Not Yet Exhausted
Greenland.
[Fron the Idler

EFrom the Idler.J
This division sof the earth among
contemporary noyelists has not, as
yet, included Greenland, where some
new writer can lay the scene of a story
in which the heroine will wear seal
skin trousers and calm her troubled
heart with mighty draughts of train
Old. Neither has any novelist seized
upon China, where great things may
yet be done by a story teller who really
knows something of that modern and
multitudinouS sphinx, the Chinaman.
But with those exceptions there is
very little desirable territory which is
not preempted. This, of course, great
ly hampers new novelists, who are
compelled to write new novels dealing
only with English men and women
at home.
England is the common possession of
everybody, and even the American
writer who does not wish to initiate
Mr.. Harte or Mr.. HoWells is COM
PEELED, like Mr.. Henry James, to lay
the scene of his stories in London or
in some one Of the many little Eng
1ish colonies to be found in continent
tai cities The English novelist who
wishes to write story characterized
by some little novelty is reduced to
inventing Dodos or other fabulous crea-
lures, an attempt which fails more fire.
quently than it succeeds.
This state of things is so plain to
every writer that I wonder no one has
rushed in to occupy Greenland or the
Chinese field. A Greenland story
would at once attract attention. be-
cause of it's novelty, and we, who
have never been to Greenland, could
warmly recognize the truth of it's local
color and the profound knowledge of
Eskimo character shown by the writer.
An advanced Eskimo maiden with
wild desire to wear pettfcoats instead
of trousers and to drink tea instead of
train oil could hardly fail to charm the
reader. I am afraid, however, that the
advanced Eskimo maid would not sur
vive beyond the first four or five chap
tiers. for 1 understand that whenever
an Eskimo woman exhibits symptoms
of advanced thinking she is immediate
ly set adrift on an ice foe.
