Essays on Modern Novelists
Essays on Modern Novelists By William Lyon Phelps ESSAYS ON MODERN NOVELISTS I WILLIAM DE MORGAN "How can you know whether you are successful or not at forty-one? How do you know you won't have a tremendous success, all of a sudden? Yes after another ten years, perhaps but some time! And then twenty years of real, happy work. It has all been before, this sort of thing. Why not you?" Thus spoke the hopeful Alice to the despairing Charley; and it makes an interesting comment on the very man who wrote the conversation, and created the speakers. It has indeed "all been before, this sort of thing"; only when an extremely clever person, whose friends have always been saying, with an exclamation rather than an interrogation point appended, "Why don't you write a novel!" ... waits until he has passed his grand climacteric, he displays more faith in Providence than in himself. All of which is as it should be. Keats died at the age of twenty-five, but, from where I am now writing, I can reach his Poetical Works almost without leaving my chair; he is among the English Poets. Had Mr. De Morgan died at the age of twenty-five? The answer is, he didn't. I am no great believer in mute, inglorious Miltons, nor do I think that I daily pass potential novelists in the street. Life is shorter than Art, as has frequently been observed; but it seems long enough for Genius. Genius resembles murder in that it will out; you can no more prevent its expression than you can prevent the thrush from singing his song twice over. -
A Lad)' Trader -In the Transvaal
400 A Lad)' Trader -in the Transvaal. crowded into them, and things got worse instead of better the next day. For some reason, the coloured men who had been impressed by Government were not immediately paid oft'. They wanted to get away to their families, but they had to wait, and in the meantime, having nothing else to do, they drank. The streets were full of howling, reeling wretches. All order seemed gone. Horses were stolen in the most daring manner. If one, with a saddle andbridle, were left for a moment, whilst his owner turned his back, as likely as not he would be l!Ieized and carried oft'in broad daylight. Mr. Higgins, after getting back Wellington safe, nearly lost him thus j and would have lost him entirely, if, leaping on a horse without a saddle, that stood close by, he had not pursued and caught the robber. Others, less fortunate, lost their horses altogether. Numbers of families had to be sent to their desolated homes with government oxen-having lost all their own. Manywould not go, knowing that, without oxen to plough their land, it was of no use going to their farms. Men met me who told me that they had seen whole teams or individuals of a. team of their own oxen, marked with their bra.nd, in Boer waggons, bringing produce to the market, but they could not claim them j one man even showed me the oxen he spoke of. I met men who seemed crushed by the disaster atevery turn. Mr. -
The Project Gutenberg Ebook of a Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature, by John W
A SHORT BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE BY JOHN. W. COUSIN LONDON: PUBLISHED by J.M. DENT & SONS. LTD AND IN NEW YORK BY E.P. DUTTON & CO INTRODUCTION The primary aim of this book is to give as much information about English authors, including under this designation American and Colonial writers, as the prescribed limits will admit of. At the same time an attempt has been made, where materials exist for it, to enhance the interest by introducing such details as tend to illustrate the characters and circumstances of the respective writers and the manner in which they passed through the world; and in the case of the more important, to give some indication of the relative place which they hold and the leading features of their work. Including the Appendix of Living Writers, the work contains upwards of 1600 names; but large as this number is, the number of those who have contributed something of interest and value to the vast store of English Literature is larger still, and any attempt to make a book of this kind absolutely exhaustive would be futile. The word "literature" is here used in a very wide sense, and this gives rise to considerable difficulty in drawing the line of exclusion. There are very many writers whose claim to admission may reasonably be considered as good as that of some who have been included; but even had it been possible to discover all these, their inclusion would have swelled the work beyond its limits. A line had to be drawn somewhere, and the writer has used his best judgment in making that line as consistent as possible. -

Introduction The influence of gender on products of arts and culture is an extensive subject of study in the Humanities and literature is no exception to this curiosity. The socio- cultural background of the author is often analysed as well as their works, which introduces questions about the influence of nationality, religion, time period and gender on their writing styles.
