cover precisely what Zola's motives were
in choosing subjects, as Max Nordau
attempts to do in his analysis of the
great French authors WORK. Probably
in large part chance more than DELHI
crate choice prevailed with him as with
novelists generally. Very likely the
Rougon-Macquart series of stories fol-
lowed naturally upon the accidental dis
covery of the remarkable records Of a
certain criminal and degenerate French
family, on which Max NOrdau lays so
much stress. This epoch of zola's lit
erary life exemplifes his idea of pure
n%aturalism. But lola like Tolstoi ad-
vanced to a higher ethical plane in a
magnificent series of novels, including
lie Debacle," La Terre," ~"Fecondite,"
Rome" Paris" and "Lourdes." They
are truly masterpieces and upon them
very largely his permanent reputation
will depend. They are a high form of
"the novel with a purpose" conceived
In ultimate effect to enforce some social,
economic or moral lesson, and yet IN ac-
COTudnCe WIFI the Helnous VI supreme
literary art.
Emile lola as an author was not more
distinguished for artistic genius and in
defatigable devotion to his work than as
a nan he was distinguished for courage.
He stood unfinichingly true to his con-
victions both rs an artist and as a man,
not hesitating in LIE Debacle" to enrage
a whole people or in "Lourdes" to offend
a religion. The intrepidity with which
in the Dreyfus case he stood forth to
protest against national madness and in
justice to an individual, accepting the
penalty OF Punishment and social ostra-
cism for himself, received the generous
applause of mankind.
