Williams' Hall of Fame
American novelist of the pr. sent
day did not faro very well tit tlii
hand of Prof. Stanley T. Williams of
Yale university In his speech to Um
Womuli's club yesterday afternoon
at St. Murk's Kplseopal church, (inly
two. Sinclair Lewis and Wllln dith
er, were considered worthy of their
time, and he spent most of his ho-
turn on English writers. j
Ho. stated that he would confine !
himself to only a few outstanding
nuthors of the day, because nn at- j
tempt to mention nil novelists with, j
out ndmitt.d fuvorlbs would bo, like, 1
the tenderfoot on the western ranch j
rounding up jaekrubliits for lambs.
Such n selection would appear at j
first n. colossal task, he said, nut
everyone Is writing novels now with 1
great easo and In many ways even
better than the old ones. Hut few j
writers, Prof. Williams ass rtod, can
say with George Kllot, "I never write
without first offering a prayer."
Though there has born a loss in
depth and power and character
study, it Is more, than compensated
for by analysis and solutions by
hook characters of many problems
met In everyday lift. The old
reticence hns worn away and free
dom of action, thought, and word
rules. Hucause of this it is frequent
ly hard to choose, novels worth read
ing and some guides are necessary.
Book reviews, Prof. Williams
stated, are of no assistance, as ever'
book is hailed as the greatest since
the time of Dickens. The best pro
cedure is neither to give up the. old
authors before 1S0D nor to read ex
; cluslvely those books, saying as
i I'harles Lamb did. "Kvery time u
new book appears I read an old one."
It Is necessary to tlnd a happy medi
um knowledge of the past with nn
' open mind to compare with the rt-
cent transient authors. .
i Professor Williams went, on to ex
plain In details the five best Kngllsh
I authors of the day. Ho considered
Thomas Hardy, although not the
best living novelist, had a fair
chance of immortality. His fame, is
such that he never needs to travel o
see the world, for it comes to him
to the, amazement, of his fellow
villagers. His idea that some blind
purpose or chance, not God, rules
the world, is plainly discernible In
I his two greatest books," Toss of the
D'Trbervilles" and "Far from the
.Madding Crowd."
The antithesis of Hardy is H. G.
Wells, of purely Darwinian kind. A
pure scientist, of -analytical, cold,
char, efficient mind, life to him is
fun and not blind chance.
Third, Joseph l.'onrad shows in his
writings, Professor 'Williams said,
his origin, that of the most medita
tive nnd thoughtful race, the Slavs.
After sailing to every port in the
world for 10 years, his experience
rnd knowledge of human beings in
profound and his books must be
read slowly and carefully. In "Ty.
phoon" the author's philosophy of
life is portrayed; lie is a free think
er, one to whom the game of living
Is difficult and yet. worth while. be
muse of a few ready to lend a help
ing hand.
Arnold Bennett -wrote first In
mediocre, fashion, Professor Williams
went on. but from Inspiration gained
at a French cat", hi: brought out
"The Old Wives' Tale" and showed
himself n photographer of novels,
always telling about his story rather
than giving Just a narration of facts.
To his last. Kngllsh author, John
Galsworthy, Professor Williams paid
highest, tribute as a modern author
whose admirable and intelligent list:
of the ii' w frankness and wh"Se
strength and careful style peculiarly
tit him for reading by young people
of today. His l'Y.rsythe Sage is an
understanding picture of the ron
jventionul Englishman of property,
to which class he himself was born
1 and bred. His dramas are Interest
ing chiefly from the viewpoint of the
; r former, fer afler two or three
I years of travel he came back to llntr
jland with a keen realization of th'
I dii'fieultl' s of the lower class, and
'he.- plays af" an attempt to brine
I'JuiS'S of labor and capital to pub-'li'-i'v.
