would do for this country what Dick
ems, Thackeray and Trollcpe did for
England, and Balzac, unaided, did
for France. The Great American
Novel still remains shimmering
mirage: the American Balzac has
never materialized. And the reason
is simple: The great English and
French masters of fiction had the ad
vantage of a traditional, highly or
ganiZed, finely stratified social struc-
ture. In land where the social
equilibrium is stable the novelist can
give his whole attention unhampered
to the Interpretation of character
and the development of plot-the
two factors that. singly or together,
make us remember novel. For fic-
ton is like chess, in that the inter-
est lies in the intricate moves of the
game and separate functions of the

generation had come into its own;
who cared how things used to be
done? This was the day of new
methods and of speeding up" Writ
ers were quick to catch the infec-
ton and formed their style from
sign boards and advertising pages,
with all their flare, exaggeration,
compression and bad English. What
matters a split infinitive or float

Grammar was invented by a stodgieI
age.
The result is that to-day American
fiction finds itself in a precarious
condition and in urgent need of be-
ing saved from ill-advised friends.

other, the manuscripts that bear the
flaw of immaturity. Unfortunately,
the reviewers. as well as the novel
lists, have caught the contagion of
the prevailing restlessness, and halt
a work as masterpiece merely be-
cause it is different. The neglect OF
the old technique, the departure
from established form, constitutes a
badge of merit. Free verse is lauded
above the sonnet or rondeau; and
the novel which evades the tradi-
tional division into chapters is her
aided as stroke of genius.
In point of fact there is nothing
in America to-day. either among the
new writer's or the old, that can be
dignified by the name of anything
like school of fiction. Out of the
group which twenty years ago made
the native movement a stimulating
