The Populnr Novel Era.

In his recent chat upon modern books
Mr.. HowellS hes voiced the sentiments
of q great many literary and thinking
people when he declares that the era Of
the half million copy novel is but a tran
sition one connecting a period when read
ing was done by the few with a future
time when reading with diScernment will
be lone by the many. The popular book.
all thinking people realize. is not neces-
sariIy a good book. and the advertise
ment of the publisher that a novel has
sold into the hundreds Of thousands does
not stamp it as one Of literary merit. Yet
the reign of the popular and ephemeral
book does not mean q degeneration of
literary taste.
AS Mr.. Howells says, we must not
think the lovers Of a half million copy
novel are recreant lovers of Hawthorne
and George Eliot and Thomas Hardy. The
most part of them never heard Of those
authors. We may liken our immeasur-
able mental level to the wild, uncultivat-
ed prairie country, which, when men be
gin to plant it with trees, they first plant
with the coarse, rank cottonwood. After
q generation or two Of cottonwood they
can grow oaks and elms and naples on
the prairie, but not at st. You may be
surf that the plains In which the literary
cottonwoods now flourish have never
grown oaks or elms or naples.
Up to the time the readers Of the recent
successes began to read them they had
read dime novels and story papers Oh
they went to the theaters. And this stage
is therefore a hopeful one, for these
books reclaim from illiteracy a wide ares
Of humanity and will convert them finally
into fields Of genuine literature. And SC
the popular novel. while 1t has its dan
gers, is, on the whole. a hopeful sign. and
it gives fair promise for the future
Town and Country.
