GOLDEN AGES OF LITERATURE. ENGLISH FICTION. | BY THOMAS MARC PARROTT, PH.D. | The art of fiction had fallen very low In England when Charles Dickens appeared | upon the scene. Scott's enormous success | with the historical novel had given a | great impulse to the production of ro- mantic fiction. The old realism of Field- ing and Smollett was submerged in a flood of pseudo romances. Actlon took | the place of character and a more or Jess | exciting story deafened the reader to the | creaking of the puppet’s springs. If an | appeal was made to his sympathies it was either for some charming devil of a | criminal or for some fashionably cynical dandy. Such were the works Ains- worth and G. P. R. James, and the ear- lier novels of Bulwer and Disraeli. Hu- . too, had departed along with the | realism to which it clings and its plac: | had been usurped by the coarse and boi terous farce o L R e e R e S R SR S o g a whole had e astray after of nglish fiction fe and he ar y e of his fan, hi se nd his power of character por trayal to give it a hold upon the hes of the public such as earlier novelists had never areamed of. Dickens’ Early Life. ens were well fitted to bring ch with the realities of ex- tleman in the Navy type of Micawber, al | tress, always hopeful that something would turn up. faded beauty of the Mrs. Nickieby type, struggled in vain against the accumulat- ing t s of the family. The crash came at last and the whole househoid with the exception of the two elder child- ren, who were otherwise provided for, sought shelter from the duns behind the wals of the Marshalsea. In the few happy years of his earller childhood Dickens had been, in his own words, a very queer small boy, quick, eager, delic soon hurt physically or mentally He took no part in the sports of his boy friends, but read for hours, filling his head with the novels of the last century, “Roderick Random’’ and “Tom Jones” an Robinson Crusoe” and icar of Wakefield.” But with his the little man of the ** father’'s imprisonment 12 years was launched upon the world of London. A place in a coustn’s blacking ared for him with a wage he was left to , indeed, days of the week he was alone in‘London, hungry fll clothed and uncared for. Strangest o all, his parents appeared quite satisfied “They could hardly have been more so, said Dickens years after, “if I had been 2 years of age, distinguished at a gram mar school and going to Cambridge.” Re- | {ease came, however; the doors ‘of the prison openéd, a legacy fell in and the boy got a few years of very old-fashioned | schooling, from which he passed on with a smattering of Latin and a very thor- | ough knowledge of the sghoolboy heart and of the manners an customs of schoolmasters. 2 7 | His next step was into a lawyer’s office, £ | backing to pursue the law. Again he moved on, bearing with him an unparal- leled knowledge of the legal world. He became a reporter, raised himseif by in- | defatigable labor to a certain reputation journaiism. He wrote on his knees in the allery of the House of Commons. on his | feet in a ‘‘preposterous pen in the House | of Lords” and—thid was before the days | of the telegraph—dashed madly over the | country to_attend elections, report ad- | dresses and carry_his notes bac | press in London. He once said: “T do verily believe I have been u |in almost every | known in this country. lated in miry byroads in the small hours, forty or fifty miles from London, with ex. | hausted horses and drunken postboys have got back in time for publication.” Again a new world of the hustings, the | country inns_and the vanished race of | coachmen and postilions, which he was to | immortalize in his novels. His First Publications. All this was excellent trafning, but now his real work was to begin. His first ;stgr,\: “Mr. Minns and His Cousin,” sub- t in all fully wept over when it appea: Monthly Magazine in 1834. It was followed | by a number of tales and sketches in this | perfodical and in the Even!ng Chroniele. | Brese are the now famous “Sketches by Boz.© They brought him at first little money and a very slight increase of rep- utation, but as we look back we see in them the whole of Dickens lying unde- veloped as the oak within the acorn. Here | is his wonderful - microscopic observation | of life, his rollicking flow of animal spir- its, his hatred of social sham. and official formalism, his sympathy with the poor and afflicted, his sentiment, his pathos and his humor. One thing alone was lacking—his power of characterization. No personage of these sketches had vital- | ity enough to win a place among the im- mortal characters of fiction. But this is due to the limitations of space: breathing room is needed for the development of a Sam Weller, a Pecksniff or a2 Micawber. Tn his next work Dickens securpd the necessary space.

Ex- aggerated, grotesque eve the characters may be, but they are alive. Mr. Pick- wick and his_friends, Bob Sawyer, Sam Wellér, the shepherd and the inimitable Jingle, all strike root in reality.

In “Oliver Twis nounced the whole English system of o ganized charity, detestable to him for neglect of the human element and it exaggeration of method and machinery. and in Bumble he has pilloried for ali time the representative of this system. Naturally enough a ngte of exaggeration, heard here for thé first through all this work of Dickens. A former is nfil; apt to be distinguished fe his impart y. And when a reformer is also a satirist, with a marked turn for caricature, when his favorite method of attack is to make an abus =g ridiculous that men will laugh it of existence, there can be no question of photographic realism. _ There a sense, indeed, in which Dickens is a re- alist, but his realism never stood in the way of his love for reform The second trait which appears in this book is a distinct tendency toward theatrical, even the melodramat ens was from youth a passionate of the stage. While a lawyer's clerk spent evening after evening in the Later he actu: proposed to go upon the stage, and W apparently prevented from making the trial only by an acei- dent. In middle life he found his chief delight in amateur theatricals, and of his famous readings Carlyle said: “He is a whole tragic, comlic. heroic theater visi- ble.” In the most effect these read- ings, “The Death of Nancy he rose the full height of tragic melodrama. In- evitably this tendency of his nature in- fluenced his work, and it cannot be said to have Influenced it for good. It filled his books with figures that belong upon the boards rather than in real life or serious art—the stage villain (Monks in “Oliver Twist” is the earliest and crudest speci- . the distressed damsel, the injured heir and the long-lost echild It led him at times to disregard consis ency of character and probability of ac- tion.

The death of lit- tie Nell reminds us too strongly of the last gasps and subsequent apotheoses of the hundreds of little Evas who go barn- storming through the land. “Oliver Twist” is in a sense a eriminal romance; but it is elevgted far above the common run of _Su storfes by the writer's championship of virtue. “I had read of thieves by the score.” says Dickens in the preface to this novel, ‘seductive fellows (amiable for the most part) * * * and fit companions for the bravest. But I had never met (except in Hogarth) with the miserable reality. It appeared to me that to draw a knot of such asseciates in crime as really do ex- rmity; = a in all their wretchedness, in all the squal poverty of their lives, ® * * forever skulkln, uneasily through the dirtiest paths of life. with the great black, ghastly allows closing up their prospect: t appeared to me that to do this would bs + ¢°% a service to society. And there- fore I did it as best I could.” These sound, of course, like the words of an uncompromising realist. and Dickens was never that. Even in his attempt to show the revoiting nature of crime by painting !t in its true colors he used the artist’s privilege of selection and sup- ression. The language, for example, of is thieves and vagabonds is purely flc- titious, and the thoroughgeing optimism of his nature led him to dwell with delight upon the soul of goodness in things evil and to set the truth and pity of the wretched Nancy shining lke a star nst the gloomy background of a Fa- In and a Sykes.
