THE POET AS CITIZEN AND
OTHER PAPERS. BY Sir Arthur
CUTLER Couch, M. A. New York:
The Macmillan Co.
IN THESE essays Sir Arthur Quill
ler-Couch, one of the old school
of British literary men, who won
Il a public a generation ago with his
tales of his native Cornwall, often
more poetry than prose, has as his
theme the necessity of poetry in litera-
ture and in life. He himself has been
journalist. editor, critic, poet and
novelist, but in all Of these spheres
always the poet. He has edited "The
oxford Book of English Verse;" "The
Oxford Book of Ballads" The Oxford
Book of Victorian Verse" and 1.-THE
oxford Book Of Prose" and Is now
King Edward VII Professor of Eng
lish Literature in the University of
Cambridge. He has written many
volumes of verse and even more vol
umeS of long and short prose tales,
some of the best of which are The
Delectable Duchy," old Fires and
Profitable Ghosts" The Laird's
Luck" THE Westcotes," Shining
Ferry" Poison Island" and True
Tilda."
Most of the essays in this collection
we're first given as lectures and have
an informal style. The four grouped
under the title First Aid in Criticiz-
ing" are elementary in purpose and
discuss the value of being definite in
criticism, the power of suggestiveness
in words in their relation to Nature.
and the handicap of poetry because it
has to produce its effect through the
symbols called words, instead Of by
direct medium as the painter is able
to do. BY "harmonizing speech" man
arrives at poetry, and so step nearer
to the meaning of Nature" The
three essays grouped under the title
The Poet as Citizen" discuss the
place of poetry in well-ordered COM
monwealth and the proper value Of
the poet as citizen, compare ancient
and modern ideas with regard to
the place of the poet in society,
point out the importance and dangers
of personality in poetry, and give the
authors views on tradition and ortho-
doxy in poetry. In the essay on ira
dition and orthodoxy he takes for his
point of departure series of three
lectures delivered by T. S. Eliot, with
whom he radically disagrees, before
the University of Virginia.
Some Of the unrelated essays, which
are also among the best, are "Pater-
nifty in Shakespeare, ''Tennyson in
1898" and The Earlier Novels Of
Thomas Hardy" Sir Arthur calls at
tention to the fact that few of Shake
speares heroines have mothers,
though most of them have fathers.
Julia and Silvia, Hernia and Helena,
Hero and Beatrice, Rosalind and Celia,
Katharine and Blanca, Portia. Cor
della, Perdita, Marina and Miranda

Peeping out as though to lead his
brothers on a tour of exploration, his
big toe protruded cautiously through
a great hole in his sock.
Miller stared off at the shadows
across the room, muSing. The time of
decision was at hand How long had
this silent warfare been going on?
Almost two weeks now. And Rose
didn't appear to be weakening at all.
Stubborn, that's what she was. Neg
lecting her wifely duties for the sake
of principle.
That hole in his sock was an ex-
ample, now. For two weeks he had
been running around with gaping
socks, shirts minus buttons, eating
cold left-overs for supper, getting his
own breakfast Well, when Rose be-
came stubborn she didn't do it by
halves.
Miller arose painfully and retrieved
the footstool from far corner of
the room. Settling himself in the
chair once more, book in hand, he
frowned sternly, thinking.
He had been right, after all. There
just wasn't enough money for them
to hire a maid. What difference did
Junior make? Miller's mother had
raised seven kids and done all the
housework besides. Real work, too
farm work. That meant labor in her
generation. No janitors to fix the
fires, no milkman with the morning
bottles, no grocery deliveries And
ee was Rose, putting on the martyr
Ecene just because of one baby.

But just as the woman was beginning

The book said that the mind was
most susceptible Just when sleep was
approaching before the patient be-
came completely unconscious, but not
while she was sufficiently awake to
recognize that treatment was being
applied.
Miller glanced at his watch and
calculated. Rose should be just about
dropping off now.
Cautiously Miller replaced the fallen
slipper, then thought better Of it and
removed it and its brother. Mustn't
make any noise. No leather heels on
this expedition. He snapped out the
reading lamp and groped through the
darkness to his wife'S bed room.
CHASTITY dark in there, he thought,
bracing his hand against the door

rection. Quiet-mustn't wake Junior

His hand twitched out expert
mentally and encountered an upright
of the bed frame. There it was. The
head of the bed. No, didn't seem
high enough. Must be the foot. No,

insist on having the bed out in the
middle of the floor like this anyhow?

the better to feel the breath. Now,

he'd be able to tell if his voice awak-
ened her, for the rhythm Of her
breath would change The scientific
method. he applauded himself.
Bending his head close to the test
ing hand, he spoke in a hoarse
whisper:
I'VE don't want a maid! We can't
afford maid! And you must darn
your husbands socks. Because we
can't afford maid. We"
"Well!" Miller's whisper froze
against his tonsils.
Well" his wife's voice repeated.
You don't need to prejudice the baby"
She snapped on the light and Miller
saw himself, head cooked over Juniors
crib at the foot of the bed, conscious
of his wife's eyes boring question
into his back.

It has its merits and Is interesting
also because it affords clews to themes
and motives later used in his plays,
the themes Of injustice, unreasoning
violence, the cruelty of society. The
scene is laid in Sicily. in a small
town, later in Palermo. There is little
atmosphere; except for occasional de-
tails Of housekeeping and town life,
the places might be almost anywhere.
The chief interest is in the people, and
several of them seem in their violence
and eccentric methods of expressing 1t
to be wholly psychopathic cases. The
theme is the supposed unfaithfulness
of a young woman to her husband,
who, without ascertaining the truth,
turns her out to meet similar harsh
treatment from her father and from
the whole narrow. unintelligent popu-
lation of the town.
Marta Pentagora is foolish, indis-
Greet, susceptible to appeals to her
vanity. but her silly correspondence
with Gregorio Alvignani has led her
no farther than foolishness when her
husband, Rocco, furiously turns her
out OF his house. He then assuageS
his injured pride by fighting a duel
with Alvignani and taking to his home
q notorious woman of the streets and
parading with her, dressed in his wife'S
clothes, about the town. Francesca
Ajala, Marta's father, so infuriated
over the family disgrace that he will
allow no explanation from his daugh-
ter, shuts himself up in room of his
l., al le
to see any of his family except to
receive food from them at intervals,
abandons his prosperous tannery until
the business is ruined and finally dies

tation, handicapped by her own burn.
ing sense of injustice, by her beauty,
which continues to tempt men, by her
lack of judgment and self-control and
by SNUG and brutal public opinion
is foreordained to failure. BY the
outcome Pirandello probably suggests
that the only refuge for a woman, at
least in an Italian small town, Is in
submission to her husband. But the
deep irony Of the story lies in the fact
that in the end Rocco accepts in
reality what he has so violently repudi-
ated when it was only q fiction Of his
suspicion.
