April 1, 1915 issue

The centenary of author Charles Reade passed almost unnoticed. To Reade, the enthusiastic economist of Ins own work, this neglect would have seemed incredible. To almost no one now will it be at all surprising. That he was born fully a hundred years ago, the few who still read his works will easily believe. His dramas are long since forgotten and his novels appear utterly old fashioned. No authors of the mid-Victorian age seem so remote to us as the popular minor novelists of that time. English fiction has lost most of its artistic innocence since that day.
