Shipley, Joseph T. | January 1, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Tradition and Hugh Walpole," by Clemence Dane. The important element of Clemence's book is conveyed in the first word of her title; for with all her enthusiasm for Hugh Walpole, her swift, dear survey of his writings, her advancing of the novelist as the true bearer of the traditive torch, combining the qualities of the realist, moralist, and romantic while renewing the element of symbol, she pricks his faults too keenly for us to set him high. She emphasizes, for instance, his "criminal carelessness" of structure and his complete failure to seek any of the effects of sound--that other horn of symbolism on which, per contra, Gertrude Stein is impaled.
