On Fiction

The article discusses two books, "The English Novel," by Ford Madox Ford, "French Novelists," by Frederick C. Green. Ford has written an enjoyable book: Green a very useful one. Ford does not pretend to match Green's scholarship, and Green is without Ford's sense of humor. Ford's disarming badinage temporarily enfeebles the reader's critical discretion. Green's inquisitorial talent for unearthing recondite literary sources, his analytical acumen, will, unfortunately, limit his audience to students of the French novel whose major passions are confluent with his own.
