THE LITERARY TEMPERAMENT.

THE CREATORS. BY May Sinclair I2mo.
PIP. 517. The Century Company.
Miss Sinclair's new novel is an in
quiry into the influence which Wifehood
and motherhood have upon the creative
power of a woman of genius. the genius
be it observed at the beginning, being
presupposed rather than suggested, as
it was in the young poet of The Divine
Fire The womans creative gift
shrinks from love; she rejects the man
who draws her. and. by paying this
price, wins the vision Of her second book
Then she obeys the call of humanity's
law and marries another man. The
struggle between the woman and the
genius within her is on: her love and her
work cannot live side by side; one must
be sacrificed to the other, the cOmpeti-
ton growing more intense when a child
is born to her, and a second that in its
puny strength bears witness to the di-
vided allegiance within her at a period
when she should have been all its own.
This main situation is placed in an en-
vironment OF other literary marriages, Of
one male 'creator'' to his landlady's
niece and of q poet of unreCOGniZed
genius to popular woman novelist. The
book bears evidence on every page of
close observation. ingenious analysis
and delicate intuition. but it also sug-
gests more than 81 suspicion of exag-
gera ton, of a distortion of proportion of
the subject to life. First of all. the au-

thor takes her "creators' too seriously
even more seriously than they take
themselves. They are constantly stand
ing aside from their own emotional eX-
periences, analyzing them as copy" ma
terial for books, seeking delicate nuanccs
of meaning the mot juSte' almost TO
write them down. The intellectual the
artistic value of feeling is never far from
their thought. They arc psychologists
in the loose, unSCicntitiC sense of that
school of modern nGVcliStS. Here lies
the weakness of the book. Its atmoS-
phere is unreal 50 far as the world at
large is concerned, Just because it is so
realistic in its reproduction of the self
centred artistic tcmperament-in the case
of Miss Sinclair'S characters one pre-
fers to use that expression rather than
her own "creators" No serious fmpor-
tance must be attached to d novelist's
treatment of a problem that belongs to
the domain Of science least of all when
if comes to the relation of Woman'S
genius to eugencs but Miss Sinclair has
written an interesting, if not a remark
able, book on a subject that has been
in the air. for some time past.
