American Literature. BY Julian w.
Abernethy. Phi. D., principal Of the Berke-
ley Institute, Brooklyn. New York: May
nard Merrill & Co. Mas
The author of this volume has shown ex-
cellent judgment in devoting chapter to
the literature of the present day. He begins
with the colonial period and considers sue
cessively, after the period of the revolution,
the Knickerbocker writer's, like Irving, Bry
ant, Drake, Dana, Cooper, N. T. Willis; in
terestingly discusses the RECONSIDERATION
period and the leaders of the movement like
Emerson and Charming, and shows the effect
OF the antislavery movement on our litera-
ture. Liberal space is given to the Cans
bridge poets and the literature of the south,
although in the consideration Of the; latter
the author omits some conspicuous. names
which have scored great successes in the
field OF southern romance writing. OF the
present literary tendencies in this country
the author says: There is widely diffused
and energetic exercise OF literary talent. but
its force is largely dissipated in the trivial
service Of the hour. The concentration Of
purpose that constitutes the better part of
genius. the serious discipline Of taste, the
austere devotion to high ideals, the self
sacrificing rejection of the advantages of tenn
porary success In the hope of grasping the
remoter possibilities of permanent fame, ele-
ments that always go to the making of mas
terpieces, are conspicuously wanting in our
present literary activities. vigorous. vivid
contemporaneity seems mainly to character
lie the literary products of the period. The
multitudinous energies Of journalism are
Transforming and absorbing the energies of
pure literature, and through the agencies
of the ubiquitous newspaper and the public
schools vast reading public has been cre-
ated, which appears to be dominated by the
tastes and standards represented by the
ideal product Of democracy, the average
man." The author concludes that the final
effect upon literature Of these forces is mat
ter for interesting speculation.
