The Young Cosiino
By Henry Handel Richardson.
NeW York: w. w. Norton &

NeD York: w. w. Norton &
Co.
Henry Handel Richardson has
shown in her earlier novels that she
is particularly good portrayer of
men of genius. In this, her first
novel since Ultime Thule of 10 years
ago, she uses one of the most drama
| tic incidents in the history of music.
1t is the story Of Cosima Liszt,
woman who touched intimately the
lives of three great musicians, Franz
List, her father, Hans Won BuloW,
her first husband, and Richard Wag-
ner, her second husband.
Frau Wagner has been dead only
nine years and the subject of her
unconventional life is one which
touches intimately persons still liv-
ing. Thus it is not without its diff
culties as material for fiction. But
Miss Richardson has attempted to let
the story tell ITSELF without undue
dramatics and without sentimental
ity.
Cosima was passionately devoted
to her great father and wanted to
recognition. Perhaps that was what
attracted her to young Hans Won
BuloW, brilliant pianist and con-
ductor, who was risking his career
by attempting to popularize Liszt's
music. They were married with the
| benediction of her father. But Hans
had also another, and greater idol.
He was Richard Wagner, whose
genius was not then recognized.
When Cosima first met Wagner she
disliked him for he was an eXacting
and trying man. Hans goaded her
into liking Wagner. Then she fell in
love with him and Wagner did not
hesitate to take the wife of the man
who had given him everything else
he had. Cosima and Wagner re-
garded it as inevitable and Miss
Richardson is content to let their
explanation stand. In time even
Won Bulow was won over to their
side and the three lived together
along with Cosima's two children by
Hans and her two by Wagner. In
the end Wagner's demands were
met and Cosima left Hans for good.
There the book ends.

a great beauty. a destroyer of mems
hearts, but withal cool and self-suf-
ficient-in fact, just the princess Of
her own young dreams But ah-at
what cost of suffering! Indeed.
The idea is, as said. all right. In
the present case. however, 1t is
worked out somewhat too specifical-
ly. The book seems to be written
out of knowledge rather than wis
dom and out Of an eagerness to
demonstrate rather than out of a
desire to give form to truths. That,
of course, is just as we'll, from the
point of view of a reading public.
There is enough superf1ciality in the
thing to titillate the generality and
just about enough genuineness to
hold the serious.
