Description

Edgar Saltus is nothing if not unconventional, and this dainty volume of alternating essays and verse, though by no means daring, maintains his reputation for a kind of originality. "The Court of Love" and "The Canons of Pure Courtesy" contain some charming touches. In the "Future of Fiction" and "Morality in fiction," the author makes something of a defense-though not avowedly-for his own methods. However, he leaves the reader very much in doubt as to his own opinion. He seems to halt half way between Romanticism and Naturalism. He characterizes the choice offered a writer as follows: "The ambitious writer has on one side of him a corpse still warm, in whose features he recognizes Romanticism; on the other is that silk stocking filled with mud, which is the emblem of the Naturalists." Of the page long poems in this book," Fiat Nox" seems to us the best. In it he pictures three phantoms struggling for his heart, and concludes: "Yet still they brawl Though Love-the first fair phantom-faints for breath, And soon will falter, weary of the fray; Then Fame will drop the sword, and both will fall, And leave the triple victory to Death" -The Nassau Literary Magazine
