BY Arthur Bryant. Harper & /
In the 10 years between 1912

Arthur Bryant examines the cause
of this failure in a history that
is not only infinitely more SPAR

ever supposed to be. but which
also abounds in timely parallels
and reassurances.
For 20 years Europe had
covered under the wrath of
Napoleon. England underworld

bolstered up the quivering princes
on the continent. When the Duke

AFTER THE LOST
GENERATION

GENERATION
BY John w. Aldridge. (McGraw-
Hill: $685.
In an incisive and stimulating
critical study, Mr.. Aldridge COM
pares and contrasts the writer's
who came out of the two World
Wars.
OF the novelists who emerged
after the First World War. he re-
CARDS Hemingway, Fitzgerald and
Dos Passos as the most significant,
though he considers E. E. Cum
mings and others. He weighs the
work of a longer list after the
second war, including Norman
Mailer, John Hersey, Irwin Shaw,
Gore Vidal, Alfred Hayes, Paul
Bowles, Merle Miller, John Horne
Burns, Frederick Beuchner and
Vance Bourjaily. These new writ
ers take a position definitely be-
hind the best writer's of the '20s, in
Mr.. Aldridge's reckoning. He feels
that Hemingway had more to say
about war in "A Farewell to Arms
than three or four World War II
novelists, despite the broader can
vas which the latter used. Dos Pas
sos "Three Soldiers" were human
beings, while, the critic thinks, the
characters in Shaw's 1.-THE Young
Lions" and in most of the other
recent war books were synthetic,
created to prove some thesis.
Mr.. Aldridge holds that "the
aborting truth of the second war
was that its experience was no
longer new and that the basic
emotions it aroused were the old
ones and could be expressed in
the old ways" The influence of
Hemingway was marked. But:
"The neo- Hemingways of this war
have been remarkable for the ex-
tent to which they have been
infected with the superf1cialities
of Hemingway and the success
with which they have resisted his
profundities.

After the classicism Of the 18th
century, romanticism swept Europe
and the United States early in the
10th century, and manifested it
self in various guises throughout
the century. A particularly en-
gaging aspect of it was the rise of
native American landscape paint
ing. Before this time, landscape

as background in portraits and
