"French Literature during the Last
Half Century" by J. w. Cunliffe and
Pierre de Bacourt, forms a valuable
supplement to the older histories OF
French literature, which usually end
with the middle of the nineteenth
century, or, at most, with 1870. The
authors are both professors at CO.
lurnbia University. The period treat
teachings and general literary and
sociological influence, and ends with
so recent an event as tho death of
Pierre Lott, only few months ago.
The first part OF the book discusses
individual writer's. especially lola, de
France, Bourget, Maurras, Barres,
ROLAND. Rostand, Brieux snd Maeter-
linck: the second part discusses In
four chapters modern literary move
ments, as the symbolist movement,
cotemporary poetry, new novels and
of the book is followed by q good
photography.
X X Il +
The methods of novelists are Of in
terest to some people, of no interest
whatever to others. Some enjoy
knowing whether a writer first pre-
pares an outline, whether he rewrttes
and polishes much, whether he die
tates his stories or writes them out
with q fountain pen; others care not
at all how the result is reached, pro-
vided the finished novel Is satisfac-
tory. The success Of Dorothy Can
fields recent book, Raw Material,
will depend on whether there are
more of the first class of persons OF
- hn
reading public. The book Is at any
rate an experiment 1t contains
sketches Of characters, notes of situ-
ations, fragments of philosophy and
economic theory and bits of Local
color, all of which, the author de-
clares, are far dearer to her than her
finished products. Whether the pub
lie will stare her enthusiasm for this
selection from her scrap book Is 9
question. @
