Literary Criticism and Striking Diary

gives US the main facts of Barbei-
hon S llfe-a young scientist of great
promise he was haunted from the be-
ginning by i'll health and at last by
the very immanence Of his death. The
impression of his diary is of a man
caught desperately, hOpelessly in a
cage whose walls close ever, moro and
more tightly about him. There are
many things to be said about it, the
beauty of its style, the remarkable OBJ
seryatlon of its character studies, the
sharp and despairing note of its re-
current humor, the strange unimpor-
lance OF the catastrophe of the
war IN comparison with the personal
catastrophe of approaching death, the
critical shrewdnesS of the notes on art
and hterature-all this is very re-
markable. But most interesting of all
is the curious comment it affords on
the more recent manifestations Of the
English novel. Had l not known ON
absolute first hand authority that this
is perfectly genuine document I
might have imagined it a novel from
the hand of Miss Dorothy Richardson
or James Joyce. 1t is certainly more
vital and poignant than either A Por-
trait OF the Artist or The Tunnel, but
it has the same ruthlessly egotistic
analysis, the same disregard for
everything external to the narrator,
the same piling of minute detail upon
minute detail And this time every
word Of it is confessed actual ex-
perience.
Which surely goes to prove that the
new Observation-Disclosures novel is not
creative at all, but simply recollected
Renaissance.

little sharper. Perhaps when Mr..
Whittier, its admirable editor, is sure
of his circulation he will venture
further.
In short, with these three papers in
front of one, it may safely be said
that The New Statesman remains, as
before, our one critical journal that
is able to unite broad minded and
honest criticism with certain gayety
and true sense of beauty.
would have liked to write about
Arthur Waugh's Tradition and
Change, a volume of literary esti-
mates that does honestly try to find
the deep, underlying spirit that con-
meets the literature of yesterday with
the literature of to-day, but in the
space left to me l must speak Of a
remarkable book that is causing at
the moment much discussion. I refer
to The Journal of q Disappointed
Mon by w. N. P. Barbellion, pub
lished by ChattO, with an introduc-
ton by H. G. Wells. The house of
Chatto has again after a rather sterile
period in these last years become note
worthy for the excellence and variety
of its lists. 1t is always discovering
books of real individuality and char
acter and its production of them is
admirable 1t certainly ranks now
with Heinemann, Macmillan and

quoted. However, we are not "quite like
that" not $50 nobly minded nor so inno-
cent as just now they wish to believe;
we are not so altruistic, if indeed it be
altruism to desire the only world solution
that can save us from turmoil in the next
generation. Nevertheless, what
a man is thought to be he sometimes
is and often. becomes. Europe
believes and wants US to be idealistic."
Prof. Candy has a try at the topic of
the Irish mind, all varieties of which he
sampled with enthusiasm. He finds it
radically different from the English mind
and finds that England and every one else
ought to make an effort to understand it.
ireland in some respects is the unhap-
piest of countries; this is because "all her
emotions of patriotism, love, hate, desire
for action" especially the last, are sup
pressed-suppressed not by force but by
circumstances and the conflict of the
emotions themselves" What Ireland really
needs is "a free fight, legally arranged
fop; umpired but not interfered with-a
continuous performance, in which every
Irishman can join without fear of being
jailed by timorous England" A con-
stitutional, not a physical fight, and no
peace without victory. "Not until they
have fought it out will the Irish mind be
cured and realist and idealist compromise
in Ireland"
If none of this is precisely heaven
cleaving revelation-if all of it has been
said and said before-at. least it is ably
and pleasantly written and seriously, con-
scientiously discussed Also, Prof. Candy
includes the best faneiful "piece" about
Tanks of several dozen such pieces we
have seen and makes the Tank his example
for prospectus of the salvation Of mans
life and soul through machines-whieh is
an agreeable change from reading about
the machine as an agency Of enslayement
and despair. --.s.t-
Optimism he says elsewhere, "just
now is the function of America. Western
Europe is worn and weary and little
cynical. Europe seeks rest regardless of
what may come after. We of the farther
West, with our naive enthusiasm and our
unsapped energy, must supply the impulse
toward larger issues. Help in the battles
of the past we offered to the Allies. Es-
cape from the perils of the future may
come if we learn to see eye by eye with
Britons, Canadians, Australians, as our

will be found the creative criticism
that we need.
Nor fear will the literary columns
of the Daily Herald provide it, but
this not because Of any pessimism or
faintheartedness on the part of its
literary editor, Siegfried Sassoon, or
such notable contributors as Viola
Meynell, Frank Swinnerton and W. L.
George. No, rather because our labor
leaders of the moment do not seem
to consider literature of any very
great Importance and cram their re-
views and Art section into so small
space that there is simply no room
for full and energetic opinion. This,
perhaps, with time will change. So
far no very strong or Independent
position has been assumed; the re-
views have been amiable, clever and
superficial.
John O'London's Weekly aims at
filling the place taken in earlier days
by T. P.'s Weekly; that is, it hopes to
give the man in the street who is
interested in books a fresh impulse
toward good reading without weigh
ing his spirit down with a sense of
solemn responsibility. Its first num-
Der is well written, bright and inter
esting, but the reviews and notices
of books might, l think, without en-
dangering its circulation, be a little
less indulgent, little less general,
