and the Man
An emancipation novel. The man is Toussaint
1'Ouverture and the hour that of the black re-
volution in Hayti. As a character-study of the
hero the book is substantially correct, although
Toussaint is an almost incredible paragon ; but
the savagery and guilt of the other chiefs are
not recognised by the author, who makes an
idyll out of a series of frightful convulsions.

El Ombu is a deserted farmhouse with which
a terrible history of crime and calamity is

vengeful men, men with devil in them, who
seem to have grown akin to the aboriginal
savages ; fierce deeds never repented of ; and
a state of society where might is right these
characteristics of life on the S. American pam-
pas at that date are rendered powerfully and
convincingly in this and the three other tales.
The gloomy story of Marta Riquelme, driven
mad by the Indians and a heartless husband,
persuades the Jesuit priest who relates it that
malignant spirits exist, warring against God

IRVING (Washington). *A History
of New York, by Diedrich Knicker-
bocker 1 809
Begun as a parody of a pretentious history,
carried on as a comic history in which fact and
droll fiction are inextricably mingled in a pecu-
liarly American manner ; introduces a good
deal of kindly satire of the old Dutch inhabi-
tants of Manhattan Island, which actually
offended their living descendants. Diedrich is
a representative of these decaying families of
New York, an eccentric old bachelor, whose
idiosyncrasies are very diverting. The style is
that of the classic English writers of the i8th
century. [$1.25 ; illustrated, 2 vols. $6 Put-

Bay Path 1857
A story of the early settlers in the Connecticut
valley, aiming at quiet portraiture of life and
character rather than romance. A shrewd but

excessively scrupulous minister, are two of the
characters who form points of interest. [Si. 2 5

The warrior-hero is a French captain who served
under Bienville, governor of Louisiana, during
the latter days of Louis XIV, shortly after La
Salle had made his memorable voyage down the
Mississippi, and thus sowed the seeds of the
mighty quarrel which culminated in the Seven
Years' War. The story is mainly laid in
Louisiana, but sometimes moves to Versailles
and Paris ; it gives a good idea of frontier life
in a new European settlement among the In-
dians. [6/- Methuen]

These five romances, linked together by the
career of Hawkeye, were written in a desultory
manner, and are here arranged in their chrono-
logical sequence. They are narratives of ad-
venture in forest and prairie, richly descriptive
of great natural scenes that are now totally
changed, and peopled with indigenous characters
of a bygone period, Red Indians and palefaces,
foremost among them Cooper's inimitable
backwoodsman, Natty Bumppo or Hawkeye, a
romantic embodiment of the virtues of both
races, and Chingachgook, his Indian counter-
part, equally ideal. In The Deerslayer his
youth and early adventures, amorous and other,
are recounted ; next, we find him in the prime
of manhood, and are plunged into the romantic
incidents of the Old French War (1756-7) ; then
we have his love for Mabel Dunham, who
marries Jasper ; in The Pioneers we find him a
man of seventy near Lake Otsego, where he had
passed his boyhood ; and lastly, we see him an
old trapper of eighty years, on the Upper
Missouri, driven west by the inroads of civilisa-
tion. There is little historical background, but
the books abound in vivid descriptions of wood,
lake and prairie, and of the daily life of Indian
and huntsman, all of which were a revelation in
literature, [(i) Illustrated by H. M. Brock,

The masterpiece of many novels in which this

Katherine Walton [J uv -] 1851
A closely connected sequence of romances deal-
ing with the War of Independence in the South,
the scenes being mainly on the Carolina coast,
about Charlestown and Old Dorchester. The
actualities of the long domestic war, suspicions
and fears among friends and kinsfolk, double
dealings of traitors and patriots alike, together
with scenes from the brilliant social life of
Charlestown and episodes in field and forest,
are worked into an old-fashioned novel of plot
and adventure. Historic notabilities appear,
but native types of backwoodsmen, scouts,
soldiers, etc., are the most original part of the
work, as, e.g. Lieutenant Porgy, the Falstaffian
gourmet, and the magnanimous Jack Wither-
spoon, who dies for his friend.

Brown, the first American novelist, had the same love of
sensation, mystery, and sheer emotional stress as that which
begat the Gothic romance of Mrs. Radcliffe and others ;
but he got rid of the more artificial ingredients of their styles,
laid his action in American scenes, and aimed at realistic

Urgent problems such as that of the negro are

Suez, an old town battered by the recent Civil

A study of the relations between the Apaches

Huon of Bordeaux ; done into English by Lord

The Foure Sonnes of Aymon ; Englisht from the
French by Caxton 1489
The Carlovingian romances, which were the historical
fiction of the days when they were written, are now of value
in the historical sense mainly in the reflections they give
of the manners and ideas of the epoch of their composition.
To take but one instance, the political changes which resulted
in the increased power of the great feudatories are indicated in
Huon and The Foure Sonnes of Aymon by the more dignified
role accorded to the Peers of France, Charlemagne gradually
assuming the personality of a vengeful and contemptible
tyrant. In other respects, these romances contain little that
is historical. They comprise marvels and exaggerations in-
numerable, few things that are probable or true, although
the chief personages are historical. Valentine and Orson
were cousins of Charlemagne. The subject of Charles the
Grete is the series of heroic gestes that culminate in the death
of Roland at Roncesvalles. Huon of Bordeaux is a knightly
tale ' contaminated ' with the Oberon legend. [The last
three are edited by the Early English Text Society, Charles

MORRIS (William) [tr.]. Old French Romances,
done into English 1896
The Tale of King Constans the Emperor, The Friendship
of Amis and Amile, The Tale of King Florus and the Fair
Jehane, The History of Over Sea. These four romances be-
long to the I3th century, and, whatever their origin, are a
faithful expression of the thought and feeling of mediaeval
France. The first is mythical history, the miraculous career
of Constantius Chlorus, father of Constantino the Great ;
scene Byzantium. The next is a legend of true friendship
between two heroes of the Carlovingian wars, the Damon and
Pythiasof mediaeval romance. The story of Jehane, contain-
ing the root incident of Cymbeline, exhibits the private life of
the feudal age ; compared with Aucassin and Nicolete it is a
characteristic story of the north of France. The most power-
ful of the four is the last, the tragic story of the Countess of
Ponthieu, which was dramatised in the i8th century. Morris's
archaic and sensuous prose is an admirable medium for the
reproduction of these romances. [4/6 net Allen; $1.50

Jehan de Saintre. The History and Pleasant
Chronicle of Little Jehan de Saintre, and of the
Lady of the Fair Cousins [1459], together with
the Book of the Knight of the Tower Landry.
An English translation by Alexander Vance 1862
Little Jehan is a page of honour, whose bringing up and
adventures at court are an amusing and naively realistic
account of the manners, morals and ceremonial of the ages of
chivalry, especially as regards the intercourse of the sexes.
La Dame des Belles Cousines instructs the unsophisticated
youth in the arts of love. La Tour Landry is so much abbrevi-
ated as to be of little value. [10/6 Chapman arid Hall]
The Chatelaine of Vergi [1282-8] 1903
The original is a mediaeval poem (1282-8), which shows
an important approach toward the modern novel in its treat-
ment of real life. M. Raynaud conjectures that it was
based on an actual scandal at the court of Burgundy (1267-
72) ; Prof. Brandin contests this. The story is very tragic.
A knight loves the Chatelaine secretly, but the jealous Duchess
of Burgundy wrings the secret from him ; the lady dies of a
broken heart, and the knight kills himself. Bandello and
Marguerite of Navarre had versions of the story. Done into
English by Alice Kemp-Welch. [Edited, with introduction,

A story that achieved as great a popularity

Most of the events take place in the frontier
districts of France and Flanders ; the Machia-
vellian Louis XI, headstrong Charles the Bold,
and the rebellious Flemings, with the savage
outlaw De la Marck, the Wild Boar of Ardennes,
are the chief contending parties ; and among
the scenes of strife are the storming of the castle
of the Bishop of Liege, who is murdered in his
own hall, and the capture of the Wild Boar's
stronghold. The historical personages already
mentioned, and Commines the historian, Oliver
the barber, Louis' confidant, Galeotti the
70 FRANCE [A.D. 1482

in which Hugo tried to combine the romance of
the Waverley Novels with the epic. Resusci-
tates mediaeval Paris, its Gothic architecture
and its people ; with much of the fulness that
characterizes Balzac's Scenes of Parisian Life.
The rich antiquarian lore, the vivid representa-
tion of the life of great crowds, the contrasts of
light and shade, the poetry and passion, the
very redundance and diffuseness, overpower
the imagination. Poor deformed Quasimodo,
the humpbacked bellringer, is one of Hugo's

Massacre of St. Bartholomew. [6/- Long]
1572. DUMAS (Alexandre). *Marguerite
de Valois [1845] 1894
First of the Valois Romances, a trilogy that
forms a history of the period from 1572 to 1585,
when Charles IX and Henry III were kings and
Catherine de Medicis was reigning. Her antag-
onism to Henri of Navarre is the motive that
recurs throughout. The chief event of the first
is the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, which, with
the murder of Coligny, is fully described.
Coconat, one of the two heroes, took an active
part in the persecution of the Huguenots. Both
he and the other hero, La Molle, the lover of
Marguerite, Queen of Navarre, are historical,
though their characters and positions are modi-
fied to suit the requirements of the romance.
The Queen is painted in very favourable tints ;
Henry of Navarre is the noblest of the characters
in the book, and the true hero of the Valois
cycle. [3/6 net Dent; 2/-Routledge($i. Dut-

head. One of Dumas' finest creations, the
Jester Chicot is introduced here. The romantic
events revolve round Bussy d'Amboise and
Diane de Meridor, wife of De Monsoreau.
Bussy's heroic defence against overwhelming

The earliest faithful picture of French provincial life,
and, in its individual portraiture, a forerunner of the modern
novel. Satirizes the affected diction, the unreal sentiment-
ality, and the foppish heroics of Calpren&le and Scuderi, of
whose style Scarron's is the very antipodes plain, coarse,
maliciously plebeian. Adventures of a troupe of strolling
players, who come to Mans, and play Herod and Marianne in
burlesque fashion, the tragedy being turned to farce by the
mean habiliments of the actors, and ending in a fight with
the owners of the clothes they have stolen. The narrative is
interspersed with short, fanciful tales, borrowed from Spain, a
contrast to the realism of Scarron's original work. He did
not finish it, but sequels were supplied by the Abb6 Preschac
and the publisher Offray, (the latter is incorporated in Tom

aware of what is going on, the Regent's unscru-

1770-4. DUMAS (Alexandre). Memoirs of
a Physician [1846] 1894
The first of the five Marie-Antoinette Romances,
which comprise a full account of the court life
and the main events of French history from
1770 to 1793. This was the period of the de-
cadence of the monarchy, and of the reigns of
De Pompadour and Du Barry. These memoirs
of the famous quack Balsamo, otherwise the
Count Cagliostro, are supposed to be based on
a memoir that has been shown to have no
authenticity. This prince of charlatans made
a great stir in several European courts with his
supernatural and pseudo-scientific pretensions,
his connection with the proscribed freemasons
giving him powerful influence; and among his
clients were several great people of the French
court. [10/6 net (3 vols. Dent; 2/-Routledge

1774. DUMAS (Alexandre). Monsieur de
Chauvelin's Will ; and, The Woman

The first of these short romances depicts the
close of Louis XV's reign, and is a terrible but
accurate picture of royal debauchery and de-
based court life. Closes with the dreadful
scene of the King's death by small-pox. The
Marquis de Chauvelin was one of the com-
panions of Louis' debaucheries. The second
story is an episode of the Reign of Terror
(1793) ; and the famous story-teller Hoffmann
is the hero. The scene of Madame du Barry's
death by the guillotine is historical. [3/6 net

It is doubtful whether the whole of this work is

of the scandalous affair of the Diamond Neck-
lace is in accordance with the facts that are
known, though Balsamo's connection with this
intrigue is taken for granted. This is the first

A criticism of the'social and religious conditions of contem-

Asiatics in exile at Paris to their friends and dependants in
Persia. The one, an arrogant but philosophical Oriental,
displays the Asiatic character best ; while the other, in lighter
vein, sketches European manners and usages, vices and
follies. The book is an expression of freethought, and of the
reaction against monarchical and ecclesiastical despotism
expressed later in the Esprit des Lois. [Trans, by John

In the first volume, a picture is given of pre-
revolutionary days, showing the hardships en-
dured by the peasantry under the monarchy ;
then comes the awakening of the peasants to
their rights as citizens, and the great episodes
of the Revolution and the wars. A domestic

[sequel] 1 900
The French Revolution from the point of view
of the people, the narrator being a peasant from
Provence, who marched to Paris with the Mar-
seilles battalion, and was an eye-witness of all
that he describes. The first book depicts the
unsettled state of Paris after the fall of the
Bastille, and then tells how the insurrection
broke out anew, and how the mob sacked Ver-
sailles. In the sequel the Reign of Terror is in
full blast, Marat figures prominently, and the
king is executed. In the final volume, the
scene changes back to the south and faction-torn
Avignon ; Valmy and other battlefields are
described, and then, more briefly, the rise and
career of Napoleon. In form, the story is most
artistic. The homely style of the raconteur,
the running commentary of his unlettered
hearers, and the convincing manner of it all,
are full of charm and truth, [(i) 3/6, 1/6

In this picture of the Revolution during 1789-
94, the author avows that he is writing history
and not romance. The flight of the King and
Queen to Varennes, the proceedings of the
various Assemblies, the march to Paris of the
Marseillais, the massacres of the Reign of
Terror, the war with Prussia and the battle of
DIDEROT (Denis) [1713-84]. Rameau's Nephew

A satire on Parisian society, as it was just before the

the world as seen through the eyes of a parasite. [Trans, by

Valmy, and finally the execution of Louis XVI,
are the principal events of the story. The
Count and Countess de Charny, faithful adher-
ents of the royal family, assist at the Varennes
incident, and throughout the story display
heroic devotion to the lost cause. A legion of
historic names appears among the characters.

Like Ndtre Dame, etc., an imaginative handling
of a great historical epoch the French Revo-
lution. Conceives that vast movement as an
inexorable, superhuman force, destroying
indiscriminately friends and foes. The theatre
of action is the forests of La Vendee in 1793, and
the characters drawn are shadowy and ideal,
Royalists and Republicans engaged in a war of
giants. The three children of the old marquis
are the most human of the characters, three
winsome little creatures, playing and prattling
in the doomed castle, unconscious of the death
that lurks without. Splendid and tragic scenes
alternate with melodrama and sheer impossi-
bility. [Trans, by Jules Grays/- net (2 vols.)

Continues the story of the Revolution to the

rise to power. The early portion, The Prussians
on the Rhine, is founded mainly on the personal
experiences of the author's friend Charles
Nodier. Then come the great episode of the
rising of Thirteenth Vendemiaire, the street
fighting that brought Bonaparte to the front,
the Directory, and finally the coup d'etat of
Eighteenth Fructidor. The story describes the
diverse movements that were taking place, and
embraces all kinds of historical characters, with
fictitious personages who are thoroughly re-
presentative of the times. Appended is a
narrative of the luckless expedition to Egypt,

are spoiled by the call to arms. At Phalsbourg
he witnesses the passage of the Grande Arm6e,
and then is engaged in the campaigns that
culminate at Leipzig. The tale is put into the
mouth of a peasant, and is characterized by
quaintness and simplicity. [i/- Ward &

1814. ERCKMANN and CHATRIAN. *The
Blockade of Phalsbourg [1867] [juv.] 1869
The invasion of France by the Allies, in the
course of which the town of Phalsbourg, in the
Vosges, was besieged. The hero is an old Jew,
who lays in a supply of wine with a view to pro-
fiting by the scarcity ; the possible fate of this
wine occasions great suspense. During the
siege, which conies to an end with Napoleon's
abdication, the old huckster and his family
drive a thriving trade. The tale is full of human
interest, and there is much play of comic
eccentricity among the trade bands (such inci-
dents as employer being disciplined by employee
causing diversion), while the Jew's moralisings
on war are full of humour, [i/- Ward &

The first, also published under the title of La

attempt to stir up an insurrection in that pro-
vince in 1832, and has some romantic threads
interwoven. The two girls who are nicknamed
the ' She- Wolves ' are among Dumas' most
attractive creations, and the story of their love
is touching. It is in this book that Dumas has
lifted an entire episode from Scott's Rob Roy.
The Corsican Brothers (1844) is a melodramatic

*His Excellency [1876] 1897
The Rougon-Macquart series of novels is as a
whole a study of social conditions from the time
of the coup d'etat of 1848 onwards, but these
three are more definitely connected than the
others with historical events. In the first, the
effects of the coup d' Mat in the provinces are set
forth with great local knowledge of the country
and towns of Provence. In the second, the
cliques and intrigues, including the political
movements of the following years, in a town
that was becoming a stronghold of the clerical
party, are described in the course of a narrative
of a wily priest's attempts to win the town from
the Government. His Excellency is a study of
Eugene Rouher (1814-84), Minister of State
(1861). This book has some claim to be con-
sidered as an historical monograph, depicting
society and official life under Napoleon III, and
exposing the falsehoods and corruptions of the
Imperial court. [Trans, by Vizetelly, each 3/6

Compared with the knowledge, insight and

from the reprint that probably appeared in 1588 ; the chap-
ters were reduced from 68 to 62. The German author was
evidently a man of powerful imagination, even though he
borrowed from traditionary sources. The real Faustus
was, in all probability, ' a miserable charlatan,' and by no
means the large, heroic spirit imagined by the poets ; and the
Faustbuch represents an intermediate stage between the
actual man and the later idealisations. In the darker pas-
sages an extremity of physical horror is reached that Poe or
Meiuhold could not surpass. The translator deserves credit for
his strong, natural and straightforward English. The Second
Report (a translation of the Wagnerbuch (1593), is sup
posed to be written by an English gentleman, student in
Wittenberg, where Faustus lived and sold himself to the devil.

and much of the plot deals with her efforts to

is a passionate woman whose ambition brings
her intolerable woe. The grandees and cour-

956-9. HARRISON (Frederic). *Theo-

' A romantic monograph '. As romance of
small account, but interesting as a reconstruc-
tion of a period of history. Constantinople and
the decadent empires of east and west in the
midst of the great struggle by which the Sara-
cens were held in check. The reconquest of
Crete is a magnificent episode, and the chapters
describing the life of the great mediaeval cities,
Byzantium in the reign of Nicephorus Phocas,
Rome under Otto, Cordova under the Abassids,
etc., are not only picturesque and full of life,
but show the grip and insight of the experienced
historian. [io/- net Chapman]

Largely inspired by Neo-Christianism. A
broad picture of Roman life in all its light and

salient contrast the licentiousness of Paganism
and the spiritual beauty of Christianity.
Scenes of court life and of Christian worship,
the burning of Rome, and the massacres in the
amphitheatre, are woven into a rapid narrative,
which brings in a motley host of characters, all
speaking in their proper voices, slaves, preach-
ers, and imperial Romans. The Apostles Peter
and Paul are introduced, but the Pagans are the
most lifelike ; Nero, for instance, is clearly
conceived in his strange and repulsive individ-
uality ; and Petronius, the artist in debauch-
ery, is the dominating figure of the book.

tive days, for mutual delectation, by a party of ten ladies and
gentlemen, who had retreated to a charming asylum from
plague-stricken Florence in the year 1348. Some of the
stories are tragedies, some are comic, some idylls : love
is the dominant motive throughout. Boccaccio took most
of his plots from the current fiction of his time, from the
popular French fabliaux, from Oriental and classical sources,
from actual history, and from tradition. Many of the sub-
jects are sensual and very frankly dealt with; but contempor-
ary manners and morals, which are faithfully reflected, are
responsible for this, as the author's sentiment is not impure.

*Little Novels of Italy 1899
Five stories of Renaissance times, the work of a

of the period. The Duchess of Nona tells how
an Italian adventurer brought home his beau-
tiful and stupid English bride, and tried to make
her a tool in his ambitious schemes, but was
checkmated by her simple fidelity. Madonna of
the Peach Tree is the apotheosis of a peasant girl,
a half-poetical fantasy, of which the materials
are taken from ordinary life in mediaeval cities.
All reflect the swift changes from comedy to
tragedy, the dramatic contrasts of exquisite
culture and diabolical crime that characterised
the epoch. The pregnant and nervous prose
resembles Meredith's. [6/- Chapman ; $i

BANDELLO "(Matteo) [1480-1562], Twelve Stories
[1554-73] 1890
Bandello, Bishop of Agen, was the most important of the
Italian navellieri. His novella is a popular story, derived
from the French fabliau, full of spirited action, and true to the
life of his time, a dissolute period. The subjects and manner
of treatment are extremely various, tragic and comic, ro-
mantic and amatory, with a good deal oflthin and rather
clumsy satire of the clergy, as exemplified by several in this ,
selection. He constantly boasts that they are founded on
fact, and the actual incidents introduced are said to have been
very offensive to many families of high rank. His stories,
of which there were something like two hundred, abound in
dramatic potentialities, of which playwrights made excellent
use ; yet as a rule they are singularly empty of personal
character. The Venetian romance of Gerardo and Elena,
Cornelio's comic adventures at Milan, Don Diego's con-
stancy, and his mistress Ginevra's stubbornness, and the
grim tales of Violante and Simone Turchi,aie representative
stories. But the noblest of all is the Romeo and Juliet, with
the original climax, more sublimely pathetic than that adopt-
ed by Shakespeare from a French adaptation. Beaumont
and Fletcher's Triumph of Death was founded on the tale of
Violante. Many other Elizabethan plays took their plots
from Bandello. [Trans, by John Payne, 6 vols. subscr.

the artistic atmosphere are rendered with

in her home beautiful with treasures of art, is
portrayed with tenderness. [$1.50 Century

careful to array his authorities for the historical
details worked in. The saintly Cardinal Frede-
rigo Borromeo is portrayed eulogistically.
Milan in the agonies of famine and pestilence is
an impressive episode, though Goethe objected

Affords a faithful picture of life in Italy, full
of insight into human nature, and of sympathy
with the poor and lowly ; the descriptive

ANONYMOUS. The Life of Saint
Mary Magdalen [c. 1 4th cent.] 1903
A story that shows the same simple and child-

burgher, turned Franciscan, transfers to Pales-
tine the scenery and manners of his own land.
He tells of the feast at Bethany, the death and

Passion Week. Its pure and fervent piety and
its quaintness have the charm of the Pre-
Raphaelite painters. [Translated by Valentina

*Pan Michael [sequel] ^^93
A series of three books which together contain
the romance of the history of Poland from 1647
to 1751. The scheme is even wider in the
multitude of personages introduced than Tol-
stoy's War and Peace. The first recounts the
i8o POLAND [A.D. 1719
terrible war that arose when the Ukraine Cos-
sacks, aided by Tartars and Ottomans, revolted
from Poland, triumphing at Korsun and
suffering defeat at Zbaraj ; the next, still more
voluminous, deals with the overwhelming
invasion of Poland and Lithuania by the
Swedes, under Charles XII (1654-55), and the
splendid rally of the Poles ; and the third con-
tinues the story of the war with the Tartars.
This huge romance may be regarded as an
accumulation of episodes, connected by various
characters and their histories. The personal
interest is considerable, a number of figures,
principally of nobles, standing out from the
crowd, many ot them striking, others humorous
or grotesque, others studies of historical per-
sonages like Sobieski, the Russian Hmelnitski,
and King Kazimir. The impression left by this
work is that of a succession of scenes of battle,
carnage, devastation, lust and fiery heroism.
But there are quieter scenes of village life, the
domestic life of the gentry, etc. [Trans, by J.

A panorama of Russian aff airs, public and private,
during the war with Napoleon, in the guise of
a family chronicle : as De Vogue asserts, ' a
summary of the author's observations on human
life in general '. Portrays a multitude of char-
acters, officers and men, on both the French and
the Russian sides, the hostile emperors and
their suites, people living quietly in Moscow or
on their estates, great people of fashion, serfs,
etc. The more important characters are por-
trayed from the inside, and the reader beholds,
through their eyes and coloured by their
emotions, the entire life of the nation through-
out this tremendous epoch. Real personages
occupy as much space as fictitious ; while in
Prince Andre Bolkonski and Pierre Bezushof,
whose life histories run through the book, are
personified two significant types of the Russian
nobleman. Bezushof exhibits the ideas and
sentiments which were most powerfully at work
186 RUSSIA [A.D. 1825
on the nation, and which bore fruit in the
Liberal Movement, the Nihilism and the Theo-
sophy of a later date. Like Levine in Anna
Kar6nina, and like Count Tolstoi himself, Bezu-
shof is initiated by a peasant into the gospel of
resignation to God's will. The battle pieces,
Austerlitz, Friedland, Borodino, are not merely
historical studies, but graphic analyses of the
perceptions and emotions of a combatant.

A tale of the old days of serfdom, when the peasants were
registered and counted as ' souls', and those who died between
the registrations termed ' dead souls '. The hero, an adven-
turer, buys up a great number of these at nominal prices, and
then raises money on the certificates. This farcical project
gives occasion for humorous and often bitterly satirical
pieties of the Russian land-owning class, who are represented
as utterly effete and ridiculous, while such men as Manielof,
who talk about schemes for ameliorating the lot of the serfs,
are in reality the worst of masters. The second part, posthu-
mous and unfinished, is in all respects inferior to the first,
and of interest only to students of Russian life. [Trans, by

dealing more directly with the history of social tendencies,
revolutionary ideas and political movements. The first
depicts the serf and serfdom ; in Rudin the life of an un-
practical idealist, the ineffectual Liberalism of that day is
subtly analysed. On the Eve marks the close of the Nicholas
regime and the dawn of a new epoch. In Fathers and Children
the old and the new generations are contrasted. Like the
novels of Dostoyevski and Tolstoy, these express the deepest
thoughts of the author on political, social and ethical ques-
tions, and form an artistic, personal, and not unimpassioned
interpretation of contemporary Russian history. [Trans, by

ance chiefly on account of the use Shakespeare made of another

been derived from Saxo Grammaticus, the Danish his-
toriographer (late 1 2th century) and remodelled under the in-
fluence of popular folk-tales, Carlovingian and Arthurian
romances, and the stories of Tamburlane. But there are
probably elements of the pre-Saxo legend surviving in the
Icelandic text. In his learned prolegomena, Prof. Gollancz
analyses the contents of this barbarous and sanguinary story,
showing among other interesting derivations how the Roman
legend of Junius Brutus and the Tarquinii was incorporated.

Sweden, the far north, Russia, Holland, and the British
Isles. There is special interest for Englishmen in Egil's
dealings with Athelstan. Gives a lively account of the first
settlers in Iceland. The saga is no doubt accurate in sub-
stance, though epic in style ; and the pictures of home and
court life, the adventures of Vikings and the wars in England
and Norway have the stamp of reality. Egil, who at first
strikes one as an overbearing savage, towers over the rest
as one of the invincible champions of old, a nobler Grettir ;
bis generosity, dauntless bravery, and keen sense of honour
winning full sympathy. Kveldulf, Skallagrim and Thorolf,
his elders, and the noble Arinbjorn, his friend, are strong
types of the free-spirited barons ; and the tyrant king with
his family is likewise powerfully drawn. Ranks high among
the sagas of action and adventure. Egil (c. 898-988) was a

lament for his sons is rendered in an adequate manner. [6/-

minor episodes, come the stories of Hoskuld and his son Olaf
the Peacock, two of the noblest Icelanders ; then the careers
of the brave and chivalrous Kjartan Olafson (978-1003) and
his foster-brother Belli ; and side by side with these the dra-
matic story of Gudrun and her four marriages. The great
tragic event of the story is the slaying of Kjartan by Bolli,
which is followed by the usual series of blood-feuds. Snorri
the priest makes his appearance towards the end of the saga.
' It is a modern prose version of the Niblung tragedy. . .

The love-tale of a poet, poor, proud, wayward but true, and
a frivolous woman who jilts him (not howbeit without excuse),
and despises the greatness of his passion. His genius and
daring contrast dramatically with her fickleness and selfish-
ness. Cormac, Irish in name and nature, turns Viking, and
performs many deeds of valour. Much like a modern ro-
mance in feeling, yet substantially true. Put into literary

feuds carrying havoc into the bosom of an affectionate family,
and an unmerited curse pursuing Gisli to his death. Brave,
generous, and faithful, he is one of the most engaging of the
heathen champions. His verses, charmingly translated by
Dasent, are by a isth century writer. The entire story is
poetical, the beautiful idea of the Dream Ladies lifting these
grim episodes into the higher realm of imagination. Never-
theless, the everyday scenes, the family relations, the ancient
observances and superstitions, manners and morals, and the
scenes of swift action, are described in such a minute and
familiar manner as carries instant conviction to the reader's
mind. [7/6 Edmonston and Douglas]

evil-minded peddler, an Icelandic Shylock, to whose greed
and resentment, through the curious legal customs, the public-
spirited chief, Blund-Ketil, is tragically sacrificed. Date of
Blund-Ketil's burning, A. 0.964 or 965. The consequent law-
suit led to Thord Gelli's Constitutional Reforms, c 964.

959-101 1. *Nial's Saga [c. 1230-80] 1861
The greatest of the sagas, whether in the national scope
of its action, the beauty and distinction of the characters,
or in the pathos and epical grandeur of the narrative. Njal
is one of the old statesmen and lawgivers, a reverend figure ;
his friend Gunnar, among the noblest of the great chiefs ;
Hallgerda, an evil woman drawn on a heroic scale ; and the minor
characters are boldly delineated. Falls naturally into three
parts ; the first, representing probably a lost ' Gunnar's
Saga ', is the touching story of Njal and Gunnar's friendship,
and the fatal enmity of their wives, with the woes it brings
on the two households ; in the second part is worked out
the tragedy that culminates in the magnificent scene of Njal's
burning ; and the third, where the champions Flosi and Kari
are protagonists, relates the events, down to the battle of
Clontarf, whereby retribution is wrought on the burners.
The saga has furthermore high importance as history,
giving a detailed picture of the social and political life centring
in the Althing, with portraits of the foremost Icelanders of
the time. Vigfusson calls it ' the Saga of Law'. He points
out also (Prolegomena to Sturlunga Saga) that the author,
or editor, was unquestionably a lawyer, and an Eastlander,
who makes blunders as to the Westland topography, and
handles the facts with considerable freedom. Period, 850-

the reader's sympathies are with his gallant adversary

of the finest scenes of action in the literature. [10/6 net Nutt]
MORRIS (William) and Eirikr MAGNUSSON [tr.].
Three Northern Love-Stories ; and other Tales ;
translated from the Icelandic 1875
The first three have many marked features in common,
all turn on the enforced marriage of a daughter in love with
another man, each contains charming sketches of impromptu
verse. The Story of Gunnlaug the Worm-tongue and Raven
the Skald is supposed to be the work of Ari. Scenes : W. Ice-
land, England and Norway, A.D. 985-1008. Two rival
poets, the masterful, hot-blooded Gunnlaug, and the dark,
vengeful Raven, love a maiden. The cunning Raven sup-
plants his gallant rival, whom she loves, and betrays him in
the Holmgang. Historical in substance ; gives interesting
glimpses of the northern courts. Frithiof the Bold is a
I4th century romance, based perhaps on an early historical
poem or saga. The son of a bersir loves a sister of the Kings
of Sogn, who despise and hate him, but after many wild ad-
ventures he brings their schemes to nought. In his reckless
bravery, his song-craft, and chivalrous sense of honour,
Frithiof is a regular troubadour. The Swedish poet Tegnr
(1782-1846) composed a Frithiof's Saga. Viglund the Fair,
a rsth century story, is pure romance, and strangely modern
in sentiment. The episode of Viglund's parents is like the
story of young Lochinvar. He loves the sister of his foemen,
and a witch-wife is suborned to destroy him. The denoue-
ment is remarkable for a display of the nice sense of honour
that is so foreign to the earlier savagery. Hognt and Hedinn,
amplified from a tale in the Skaldskaparmal, is an absurd
blend of mythology, and hero tale. Rot the Fool is a Norse
adaptation of an Oriental story. Thorstein Staff-Smitten is
a genuine little saga, telling of a youth's unexpected derring-
do ; the principle of revenge is tempered by a more chivalrous
personal feeling. [10/6 Reeves & Turner]
986-998. Eyrbyggja Saga : The Story of the Ere-
Dwellers 1891
With The Story of the Heath Slayings. Translated by
William Morris and Eirikr Magnusson, who describe it as
' a mixture of a saga, or dramatically told tale, and a chronicle
record of events outside its aim and purpose '. It is in fact one
of the most miscellaneous of the sagas, comprising the stories
and traditions belonging to a whole district; and full of in-
formation about the manners and institutions of the heathen
ages. The salient personages are Snorri the Priest, a wily
schemer, no great fighter, but vengeful and pitiless when
opportunity serves ; the brave and generous Arnkel ; Stein-
thor of Ere ; and the romantic champion Biorn, lover of
Thurid. Vendettas, piracies, haun tings and pitched combats
form the various threads of interest. Period 884-1031 ;
principal events between 986 and 998. Written between
1230 and 1260 according to Vigfiisson. [7/6 net Quaritch]

Neither history nor fiction, but, Kke Southey's Cid, a
compilation of general sagas containing both ; it is told in
the simple epic manner, and contains scenes and passages
of like order to the best in the sagas proper. This life of Olaf
Tryggvason, the favourite hero of Norse history, and as Carlyle
says, ' the wildly beautifullest man in body and in soul that
one has ever heard of in the north ', is a redactionjof the follow-
ing part of Snorri's Heimskringla, the legendary life of Olaf by
Odd Monk (late lath century) extracts from Landnamabok and
Kristnt Saga, the greater part of Hattfred's Saga, a summary
of Laxdada, Sigmund Prestisson's life in the Faeryinga (see
Tkrond of Gate), various poetical extracts, and a number of
miscellaneous stories and minor sagas otherwise unknown.
To distinguish it from the Hclmskringla narrative, this is
often known as the Great O. T. Saga. The text is taken from
Foramanna Sogur, (printed 1825). The story goes back as far
as the times of Harold Fairhair ; the birth, life and reign of
King Hakon (b, 918, d. 960) are related. Then there are an
account of the unsettled times before Earl Hacon (d. 995) and
Hacon's reign, probably all from the Heimskringla. The early
adventures of Olaf as a refugee in Garda (Muscovy) and as a
Viking, launch us at once on the main current of heroic story.
Olaf's wars, and warlike attempts to spread the Christian
faith, and the subsidiary episodes, lead in a great climax to the
tremendous battle of Swold. But the chronicler disbelieves
in Olaf's death by drowning, and supplies an apocryphal
history of his deeds after his miraculous disappearance. The
supernatural plays a conspicuous part ; the Devil appears
as Odin, the enemies of the faith as Trolls ; there are innumer-
able prophetic dreams, portents and premonitory warnings.
The translator would place the date of the compilation about
the middle of the isth century. [i8/- net Nutt]

the Strong ; translated from the Icelandic by
Eirikr MAGNUSSON and William MORRIS
A sombre story, simpler in plan than most of the sagas, and
less encumbered with genealogical and other extraneous
matter ; has much the same plan as a modern biographical
novel. Grettir is a man of prodigious strength and indomi-
table courage, whose irascible temper gets him into a succession
of scrapes, for men illegally slain, and involve him at last in
outlawry. He holds his own in defiance of innumerable foes
for nearly twenty years, and then is killed lying on his sick-
bed. As a prose epic of simple, heroic character, of strenuous
deeds, and unflinching bravery, it is one of the finest things
in northern story ; the supernatural episodes are peculiarly
Icelandic in character. Vigfusson sees in the saga three
separate parts : the ist, Historical, based on an original
Grettis Saga ; the 2nd, Mythical, comprising an Icelandic
version of the Beowulf legend ; and a 3rd, Fabulous and Ro-
mantic, derived from indigenous folk-tales and from foreign
romance. He thinks the saga was edited into this final shape
about 1300-10. [8/- F. S. Ellis]

Howard is worried and excited by his wife to such a pitch that
he avenges his murdered son with unexpected prowess. This
characteristic the valour of a doddering old man is reiterated
in Atli the Little's surprising energy, and, with a difference,
in the slaying of a champion by two lads. Has a solid his-
torical basis, with local and genealogical inaccuracies due to
the reciter's ignorance. [7/6 net Quaritcbl

Cid, Chronicle of the : from the Spanish, by'Robert
Southey
Translated from three books, (i) Cronlca del Cid, (printed
1552,) a secondary history based on Alfonso's Estoria de Es-
panna, (2) Cronica General deEspana (printed 1541), which may
possibly have been the source of the former chronicle ; both
are of high antiquity as MSS. (3) Poema del Cid, (composed,
c. 1135-75,) the oldest poem in Spanish. Southeyalso made
some use of the Romanceros del Cid, ancient ballads of little
historical authority. The real Cid, Ruy Diaz de Bivar (b.
1030-40, d. 1099) was probably as selfish, unscrupulous, and
ferocious, as he was brave and patriotic ; the Cid of romance,
as he is here depicted, is a more perfect hero than Amadis,
Esplandian, or Palmerin. In effect, Southey's compilation
ranks as an historical novel, though the documents on which
it is based purport to be history. In spite of the idealising
tendency alluded to, the recital has the strength and the
dramatic energy of reality, and differs from the Spanish
romances of chivalry as a hero-saga differs from Italian
opera. The career of the Cid, as here related, gives a unity
and an order like that of epic narrative to the incidents of
the wars between the Kings of Castille, Arragon and Navarre,
and the struggles with the Moors. The outstanding episodes
are the repeated banishment of the Cid, his wars with the
Moors, the capture of Valencia, which he erects into a king-
dom for himself, the outrage of the Cid's sons-in-law, the
Infantes of Carrion, upon his daughters (who, by the way, are
mythical) and the avenging thereof, with the death of the
Cid and the last battle, where his dead body puts the Moors to
flight. [i/6Warne]

Ancient Egypt and Alexandria, with their

with irony and double-edged banter. A de-
bauchee turned hermit is the chief figure of the
fable. His devotion, or rather the hallucina-
tions that result from an ascetic and intro-
spective mode of life, send him on the perilous
errand of converting Thais the courtesan, the
light o' love of his unregenerate days. He
converts her, but the image of carnal beauty lost
comes to haunt him in his cell in the Lybian
desert and to drive him from salvation.

come on the stage ; and there is great variety
of situation and incident, of dramatic, and

personal interest are connected therewith ;
while the polemics of old heresies and old reli-
gions have a significant bearing on recent con-
troversies, and enable Kingsley to exalt ' Mus-

held to be modern errors. [(Eversley Edn.)

The realistic methods of Madame Bovary are
applied here to the reconstruction of the life of
an early age ; but the sensational nature of the
subject makes this a very different book.
Salammbo is a Carthaginian princess, the sister
of Hannibal ; and the history of the imperial
city of Africa in its death struggle with the
revolted mercenaries involves a succession of
gorgeous and appalling scenes. Episodes of
riot and torture, the horrid ceremonial of the
worship of Moloch, the barbarous personality
of the various leaders, are brought before the
eye with tremendous vividness. All the details
that could be ascertained as to the life of the age
are worked into the tale, and the artist's ima-
gination completes the picture. [Trans, by
