Noteworthy Essays

HEAPTS OF CONTROVERSY. By Alce Msynell.
~ ~ vp. lis. Charles scribnes>s Sons.
'.1.as brief collection of critical es-
says is easily the most distinguish q
literary labor OF the year in thought
and in manner. Largely Mrs. Meyaell is
defending her gods, and she does her
battling with will and force that
should warn the hasty observer of her
seemingly precious style that here is
no bloodless. mincing philosopher Ten
nyson she upholds against all his pres
ent-day detractors-uphold and yet
limlta-with surer touch and keener ac-
curacy than any critic We can recall.
OF the "eXceeding ease" Of the Ten
nyson blank verse. for instance, she
says: "Hc makes somewhat too much
show of the hiding of his acts" That
is the acutest definition of the Tenny-
sonian atfectation that we know.
On the other hand: "Tennyson, the
clearest- headed of poets, is our wild
poet; wild, .notwiths standing that little
foppery we know Of him-that walking
delicately like Agog; wild, notwith,
standing the work, the ease, the neat
ness, the finish; Notwithstanding the
assertion Of manliness which, in as
serting, somewhat misses that mark;
a wilder poet than the rough, than the
sensual than the defiant, than the ac-
cuser, than the denouncer"
One need not agree heart and soul
with Mrs. Meynell's estimate of Tcnny-
sons greatness to take from her ESSAY
e. fresh wisdom and "a new respect for
a poet who has grown away from US
faster than the years would warrant.
The second essay is labor OF love
in defence of a man who, fortunately
for our current taste, stands in less
need of succor. There was a genera
tion now past that thought Dickens a
vulger sentimentalist, of bad grammar
and worse taste. 1t is good to hear
Mrs. Meynell's whole-hearted praise of
the Dickens vocabulary, of his sensi-
tive ear for the right word. "I know
Of but two words that Dickens habtu-
ally misuses," she says, "and Charles
Lamb misuses one Of them precisely

Dickens, so dear to the heart of every

sacrlfced the truth to we'll rounded
phrases and smooth flowing sentences.
Into this field which so much needs

Press with an American History in
ilfty volumes. 1t seems a tremendous
undertaking both for author and

The titles Of few volumes, chosen at

New-York tribune., 1918-11-30

such a source offsets dozen of Bran
der Matthews.
Let us quote Mrs. Mcynel's defni
tlon of caricature as opposed to sheer
exaggeration:
&c aricature. when it has the gro
tesque inspiration. makes for laugh
ter. and when it has the celestial,
makes Tor admiration; in either case
there IS good understanding be-
tween the author and the reader, or
between the draughtsman and the
spectator. We need not, for example,
suppose that Ibsen sat in a room
surrounded by repeating pattern Of
his hair and whiskers OF the wall
paper, bat it makes us most exceed
lngiy mirthful and joyous to see him
thus seated in Mr.. Max Beerbohm's
drawing; and perhaps no girl ever
went through life without harboring
thought of self, but it is very good
for US all to know that such a girl
was thought of by Dickens, that he
timately to be traced, through
Dickens, to God.
But Xaggeration establishes no
understanding between the reader
and the author. 1t is a solemn appeal
to our credulity, and we are right to
resent it. 1t is the violence of a
weakllng hand-the worst manner Of
violence. EXaggeration is conspic-
uous IN the newer poetry, and is so
1ar, therefore, successful, conspic-
uousness being its aim. But it was
also the vice Of Swinburne, and was
the bad example he set to the gene
ration that thought his tunings to be
the finest 'music'"
The next essay is devoted entirely
to Swinburne, and the Indictment her,
is perhaps the high spot of the volume
Mrs. Meynell has hot words and just
tor the national disaster that was Swim
burne's failure of intellect. She has
discriminating praise, too, for his
amazing words. But for his pocket
words, and chiefly "liberty"! "Who, il
has been we'll asked by citizen Of a
modern Tree country, is thoroughly
free except q fish ?" is her comment.
charlotte and Emily Bronte yield a
valuable discussion. SO also does "Thc
Century of Moderation" which we com
mend to all present day discoverers OF
the Augustian age.
Inc style Of Mrs. Meynell's prose has
raised much talk. 1t is cadenced and
elaborate, if you will, but almost never
unnatural. Her words, her rhythms
her structure, are the only possible
clothing for her thought. That thought
ls reflective, subtle, with clarity and al
accuracy that only long study car
achieve-and emotional as any true
poets must be. Hence the words, in
!egraliy fused with the thought, are
