A POETRY ANTHOLOGY
BROUGHT UP TO DATE

Anrhologies are like encyclopedias. in
that they have to be revised periodically
and brought up to date. This is appar-
entity the justification for The lie Gal
lienne Book Of English Verse which
has just come from the press Of Roni
& Liveright. Palgave's Golden
Treasury" was good in its time and is
still good for the period that it covers.
The Oxford Book of Verse brings
English poetry down to later period
and now this La Gallienne book includes
poems by Rupert Brooke, Walter de la
Mare, Siegfried SassoOn, Richard AL
dington and several more Of the younger
generation. OF course. II also contains
the famous pieces which have responded
To some call in the heart Of generation
after generation. There are Milton =
'Iycidas" and his sonnet on his blind
ness. The lyrics from the nays OF
Shakespeare are included. Th" whole of
Coleridge's Ancient Mariner Wilde y
Ballad Of Reading Gaol' and Francis
Thompson Hound of Heaven are
giyeS. Mr.. lie Gallienne evidently likes
Matthew Arnold, for he devotes several
pages TO him. The collection on the
whole is satisfying, and il 1t gets into
the hands Of only those who do not own
the earlier anthologies it will Justify
itself. for it will spread knowledge Of
fine poetry and make for national cul-
ture.

Anton Chekhov at Columbia

Anton Chekhov's Notebook. pub
lished by b. w. Iuebsch, is being put
to novel use in several short story
courses at Columbia University. The
instructor has prescribed the book to
the members Of his classes and given
them the following practical assign
ment: Take some idea, situation or
fragment in the Notebook and de.
yelop it into a short story.
1t will be interesting to see what the
Columbia writer's will do with few
ideas like the following, picked at ran
dom from the Notebook A scholar,
without talent. blockhead. worked
for twenty four years and produced
nothing good, gave the world only

Saint Teresa (Houghton Mi61in

Henry Sydnor Harrison, is known for
his best seller Of decade Or so ago,

the publishers announcement that half

cation, culture, etc, in the title char

The hero, whose steel crosses hers,

with the ups and downs Of control. The
background IS filled with estimations
Of the pre-war feeling of Americans
concerning the Armageddon in France
