The Daily Dispatch: August 21, 1861., [Electronic resource], Rather close. (search)
is a side taken in the so learnedly balanced antithesis of Macaulay; so there is in the artistic paradoxes of Ruskin; so there is in the insupportable jargon of Carlyle; so there is above all, in the novel." This is hard hitting, and let us confess, that the nail is often hit on the head. The critic proceeds: "The English novelists, in spite of their great talents give me always the effect of Californian miners in search of a productive vein. They do not obey a vocation, they are in search of a manner and a success. All is fall to arrive at this. We have the fashionable novel, the religious novel, the preaching novel, the blackguard novel, the imitation of starts and that of Smollett, the reformist pretensions of Dickens, the munching Christianity of Kingsley. It is not waim, dousileks, which is to be derived in this ure; one would not like to have it in fewer resources or less variety--one would only like less pre-occupation with effect something more simple and more sound."
