THE WOMEN NOVELISTS. BY r. Br,rn-
icy johnson. Published by Charles
Scribners Sons New York
The scope of the book covers the
women writers beginning with Fam,
Burney to the latter period of the
nineteenth century. Though mention
is made of all contemporary authors
MIR. johnson is concerned chiefly with
Miss Burney, Jane Austen. Charlotte
Bronte and George Eliot and the dis
tinctions as result of his analyses
with regard to these four (his "rrcat
four') are we'll done
The elements in all critioucs that
make for soundness are veracity and
fairness. And these, together with an
@sthetical discernment wholly COM
mandatory, make up his disquisitions
All OF mis- studies reflect sympathetic
treatment that is never misused.
"A Study in Fine Art" of which Jane
Austen is the subject. is fine bit of
didactic, Biographical criticism. There
are nuanccs to be caught says Sainte-

and the words of the great French

Louis Untermeyer Explains

"a letter from r. NJ. G. printed in

IN which he protests against making all
the new poetry synonymous with vers

place, he Cor, as | suspect, she) has

propaganda Il quote from The New
York TimesD. In the second place, she
is right.
The confusion-or, rather. the coup
ling of the free spirit in our poetry
with free verse-is due to the fact that
both these matters attained simultane-
Gus notoriety through another great
American art-the art of advertising.
Edgar Lee Masters, Amy Lowell. Carl
Sandburg, Vachel Lindsay, among q
dozen others, are all good poets; but
they are also, as far as the lay reader
is concerned, good show And as the
more spectacular Of our athletic bards
perform mostly in free verse, the gen
eral public Cncluding Miss Drucker)
has come to Identify all OF our 'insur-
gent poetry with vers libre.
Nothing, as try to point out in
The New Era. is further from the fact.
To r.. NJ. G.'s' list of representative
poets who have produced distinctive
and actually distinguished work with
out dscarding rhyme and the formal
meters l might add E. A. Robinson.
Sara Teasdale, Edna st. Vincent Millay,
Willard Wattles, Anna Hampstead
Branch. Max Eastman, the two Benets.
John G. Ncihardt and half a dozen
more.
"This, in spite of the brilliant pyro-
techniques of the vers librsts, is q
quietly illuminated fact that should
be discernble not only to the students
Of literature but to the Potash and

'eadlng part in exposing his brothers
nclarIous actions; and it is the father
a kindly and rather ineffective scholar
who rises TO the occasion like man
and patriot who tries to persuade
him to give himself up to justice. One
Of the authors finest effects is achieved
in her picture of the attitude taken bv
Charies's wife. Helen loathes her hus-
band from her heart; more than any
one she knows how deeply he is in
viewed IN foul and treacherous plots
But when the clouds gather about him
and he is threatened with arrest She
feels 1T her duty to go back to him and
take her share of his punishment Such
conception of obligation may appear
qul%otlc and exaggerated, but it &C
cords admirably with the New England
'stanchness that is the predominant
trait Of the Tracy family.
Chares's sinister personality does
not give gloomy tone to the whole
book. On the contrary he stands out
by contrast with number of other
figures. whoesouled. lovable and patyi-
otlc. There are several young friends
OF John, all afflicted with some physi

Nancy. an American girl who has al

whom John falls quite naturally in

them with enough regard for sense

The Black Drop
Fine Character Strokes in This Story of
Loyal American Family and Its One Traitor

The Macmillan Company, New York
Miss Brown is one of the few Amer-
can novelists who have succeeded in
making effective use of the war as a
background Most of the stories writ
ten about this theme deal with the
threadbare subject Of whether q man
should or should not enlist or give
1anclful and rather unconvincing pitt
ures of the activities Of the omnipres-
ent German spy. At best they only
catch the salient external aspects Of a
country in arms. Miss Brown, on the
other hand, gives convincing analy-
sis of the subtlest internal reactions
OF an American family during the few
months which preceded the entrance Of
this country into the conflict.
The Tracys are typical Americans,
OF old New England stock. With one
exception they are all Jealous for the
triumph of the Allied cause, from
grandfather, Il kindly, shrewd old phil
osopher confined to bed by the tortures
OF the gout, to John, a fiery young Grip
pie who tries to atone for his physi-
cal incapacity by writing ardent ar-
peals for the American people to wake
up and see their plain duty in the
World confilct: The one exception is
Charles, the older brother, whose great
ability is not accomplished by any
sense of moral decency. He has even
descended to the point of selling him
self as an agent to the German Gov
ernment and becoming implicated in
all the plots inspired by Teutonic prop
aganda, including the blowing up of
munition factories.
The whole story is pivoted about the
relations between Charles and his
family and his wife Helen who leaves
him in horror when she discovers his
activities. The ties of blood are strong,
but they finally break as the evidence
Of Charles's perfdy and vllainy piles
