not, for obvious reasons, have been
possible for many years after the
poets death: yet as succeeding gen
erations have been brought face to
face with the peculiarly complex
genius of Byron, with its lofty moods
and its many dark places, they have
felt need Of the light which only the
records written by a vanished hand
could have supplied.
Since the death of Auguste Strind-
berg, the famous Swedish novelist
and dramatist-who, by the way, had
much in common with Byron-many
of his works have been translated
into the English language and are
already the center of heated contro-
versy in literary circles. 1t is pos
sible, therefore. that the powerful If
somewhat misanthropical, writings
of this Swedish recluse may be read
and treasured by generations to come.
But all his works will not go down
to posterity. for 1t is said that in a
sudden fit of dependency Strindberg
himself destroyed a number Of his
manuscripts, which, through lack Of
time or inclination, ne never wrote
again.
