ENGLISH LITERATURE. 1880-1905. Pater, Wilde, and
after. By J. M. Kennedy. Demy 8vo, cloth. 7 s. 6 d. net.
Mr. J. M. Kennedy has written the first history of the
dynamic movement in English literature between 1880
and 1905. The work begins with a sketch of romanticism
and classicism, and continues with chapters on Walter
Pater and Oscar Wilde, who, in their different ways,
exercised so great an influence on various poets and
essayists of the time, all of whom are dealt with.
ONLY A DOG’S LIFE. By Baron von Taube. Crown 8vo,
cloth. 5 s. net. This fascinating work was originally
published in German, and is now issued in the author’s own
English rendering. It has been most favourably received
in Germany. A Siberian hound, whose sire was a wolf,
tells his own story. The book, in fact, is a very clever
satire on human nature, a satire which gains much charm
and piquancy from its coming from the mouth of a
masterful self-respecting hound.
SOME OLD ENGLISH WORTHIES. Thomas of Reading,
George a Green, Roger Bacon, Friar Rush. Edited with
notes and introduction by Dorothy Senior. Medium
8vo, cloth. 10 s. 6 d. net.
BY DIVERS PATHS. By Eleanor Tyrrell, Annme
Matheson, Maude P. King, May Sinclair, Professor
C. H. Herford, Dr. Greville Macdonald, and C. C.
Cotterill. New Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt.
3 s. 6 d. net. A volume of natural studies and descriptive
and meditative essays interspersed with verse.
IN DEFENCE OF AMERICA. By Baron von Taube.
Crown 8vo, cloth. 5 s. net. This very remarkable book
gives the American point of view in reply to criticisms
of “Uncle Sam” frequently made by representatives of
“John Bull.” The author, a Russo-German, who has
spent many active years in the United States, draws up
about thirty “popular indictments against the citizens
of Uncle Sam’s realm,” and discusses them at length in
a very original and dispassionate way, exhibiting a large
amount of German critical acumen together with much
American shrewdness. Both “Uncle Sam” and “John
Bull” will find in the book general appreciations of
their several characteristics and not a few valuable
suggestions.
