POPULAR STUDIES IN LITERATURE.

Solness" and Little Eyolf'-are highly
symbolic. Ibsen is a poet. and hence
realism and symbolism are i'll him no,
an Impossible combination. He feels
the need of both modes of expression.
BY means of symbolism he gives his
realism a deeper significance. His real
istic spirit of doubt finds with unerring
accuracy the hollowness of things hu-
man, but his poetic fancy builds future
perfection. In Little Eyolf" Ibsen
characterizes this double nature in
himself. One character says: I'VE are
children of earth" The response is
I'VE are related to the sea and sky all

form of artistic expression.
IBSEN'S MODERNNESS.
There are some things in lbsens So
cial dramas that are new and modern.
These may be briefly enumerated. In
the first place. he has cXemplified the
dramatic effectiveness of simple and
natural speech. There is no declama
ton, not Il stupendous word. This ele-
ment of Ibsen's work cannot be esti-
mated at it's true value in a transla-
ton. No translator yet has been able
to do anything like justice to him. And
the testimony of his translators is that
his simplest language has offered the
greatest obstacles. In the second place.
Ibsen has broken new ground in the
selection OF tragic themes for dramatic

military despotism, and imperial con-
