Minor Southern Poets.
"The minor southern poets share
richness of temperament, a freedom and

iority of the New England poets, writes

they are. one and all. lovers OF nature;
but, with the exception of Lanier. they
approach her through the feelings anu
sentiments, and are content to descfloe
her rich and tropical aspects. These in-
SEPARATIONS are not deep. nor is their art
broad and weII-sustained. Their verse
lacks fulness and variety of thought,
and is often over-sensuous in expression.
The verse forms used are few and SIM
ple, and there are abundant evidences
of lack of artistic training.

''Wallannah" gives a striking picture
OF Tryon, painting his vain, furious and
cruel character With a broad brush. This
look contains the first really full-lenSth
portrait of the Bloody Wolf Of Caro-
line. -
Viewed as a romance, 'Wallannah," al
though having a plot Of many complt-
cations, is strong and vigorous. The
hypocriticai Cantwell. Matter DuNal, fear
less and l>eeuIy alive, man OF the
world despite his youth. are wildly drawn
personalities.
OF hcroincs, there are two-one a dark
eyed girl Of great physical beauty and
of more wles than a legion of sirens. and
a biue-cycd girl. pure as snow beside the
other. lucille Creighton is perhaps the
most striking figure in the book. 1t IS
her unfettered passion which draws out
the human side Of DuVal's character: and
the same lawlcss impulse makes a fitting
contrast for DuVal's later and truer love,
The pure-eycd white-browed Alice Dc
We're. The chapters which treat Of lu-
ellie Creighton have "a warmth of color
which impels a second reading; and yet
withal, they leave a pleasant taste IN
the mouth, which is unusual in scenes
so fearleSSly drawn.
''Wallannah' was written not lonS be-
fore Mr.. Hargrove's death. 1t lay for
many years among the papers Of the dead
author. Finally Mr.. b. w. Hargrove,
the writer's son, recognizing the merits
of the story, sought a market for it and
placed it with the IS. L. Johnson Pub
fishing Company, of this city. In the
lapse of years between the storys orig
inal telling and its publication the mode
OF story-writing had undergone many
changes The historical novel Of that
day was as little like its descendant of
to-day as the attire Of people of that
lime was like the dress of this. Recos-
-nizing this. yet seeing in ''Wallannah'
such striking merit and such wealth
of dramatic situation, the publlshers
turned over the manuscript to Mr.. Frank
]. Craicie. Jr.. OF this city, several of
whose published stories have appeared
in magazines and in syndicatcd service
throughout the country.
Mr. Craigie spent three months IN mod
ernizing the story. Much of this time
was devoted to the elaboration of the
historical matter. which ir the light OF
works published since Mr.. 1iargrove,s
death, required more ample treatment.
The greater part Of his work. however,
was Oh the romance. Mr.. CraiGie's con-
nection with this work gives it an added
interest TO Richmond people and insures
a welcome for ..Wallannah" in local lit
erarv circles. welcome which it's own
merits will win for it no doubt abroad.
