THE PSYCHOLOGICAL NOVEL.

Some readers will doubtless hail the
statement by Mr.. w. l.. George that
the vogue OF tho psychological novel
is about over. His evidence for this
belief Is, II must be confessed, rather
meagrc. 1t consists mainly in his dis
covery that ne himself Is very tired
OF that kind OF novel, and has resolved
never TO write another one Of the sort
himself He does go on to argue that
the psychological novel Is "out OF
touch with the vivid activity OF the
men and women Of today" This looks
like lurch back TO tho romance OF ad-
venture, and above all TO stirring plots.
Mr.. George says that people have lost
interest in being asked to observe a
man sitting in an armchair reciting in
volved thoughts about the universe,
and demand that he be shown getting
up and going to work. The psyche
logical novel according TO this writer,
who now promises TO bring forth
works meet for repentance. has been
filed with tedious trivialitiez 10 the
point Of becoming horribly dull. He
thinks that new mode is coming in OF

ment.
All this is slightly amusing and not
very convincing TO those who have
| watched the coming and going OF
fashions In novels. There has never
been at any one time a fixed form in

and overlap. Mr.. George says that he
confirmed himself in his purpose tt
write again in the grand, bouncine
manner by reading some OF the ole
novelists-Thackeray. Howells, De.
Maupassant. But had these shepherd.
no psychology In them? Was Henr,
James always rollicking In outward
events? One distrusts these hard-and
fast classifications.
Perhaps what Mr.. George reall,
means is the psycho-analyst novel
It's going would be speeded by mos
people without tear. Enough ha,
been done in explaining unimportan
and unintereeting and even repelIen
characters in fiction by the terms O
