Authors Misinterpreted.


This is an age of illustrated books
and periodicals. and there has been
much complaint of late that tho art
lists too often misinterpret the mean
Ing of an author, or wilfully misrepre-
sent him in the perverse carrying out
of their own ideas. Indeed, sometimes
1t seems as IL the illustrator had not
read the passage he pretends to pic
ture, and has drawn entirely on his
imagination for the work Of his PEN
Gil. This complaint of the artists fail
ure to interpret properly the work Of
Q novelist or poet is an old one, and in
the past numerous protests have been
made against the manner in which
works of fiction have been illustrated.

break between the two men Cruik
shank said that he was the originator
of some of the things that Dickens
claimed were his own original concep

they were not adapted to his crea

Dickens took little advice from his
contemporaries, though he did use
many Of the peculiarities of his
friends in the people he introduced
into his novels. He was a realist, but
in an exaggerated vein. which has M
