VITALITY IN NOVELS.

HOW AMERICAN AND ENGLISH COMPARE

It needs some courage to admit that the American hovelist, has" more vitality than his fellow craftsman of England. But a writer in the London Morning Post has po doubt on the subject and furthermore produces some very sound arguments in support of his opinion. “Readers of fiction in England bave very much increased of recent yours, the writer says "The war has been in part responsible by cultivating the habit during enforced hours of idleness in camps, hospitals, and trenches. Again extended" education, with the huge mle of newspapers, has brought reading within the horton of many who proviously did little...

With such readers tradition is of little account. And rightly so. It is fatally easy for writers and cultivated readers to establish their own criterion of art and to judge all work by a given standard. This may be à English literaliter and in

They bought American fiction in preference to English stories, because American writers gave them the romance of the business world, letting in a flood of imaginative light on some thing with which the business man was familiar.

American publishers are seeking to gain an entrance for their young authors by granting publishing rights to English publishers at practically cost price. From their point of view this is a wise move.

There will always be in England an electic public anxious only for, and able to appreciate, the best. in literature. Perhaps they establish a writer's permanent fame. But to-day there a wider and increasing public, asking for life as they know it, with vigour, strength, and hum- our in portrayal American novelists are supplying their work is coming ever this demand in their own country and here.
