New Books and Verse Draw Mixed Reviews for Minor Poets

Critics praise some modern verse while faulting others for affectation and over polish. Notable works include Winter’s Wanderers and Scollard’s Old and New World Lyrics, with sharper critique of Paton’s Chaucer selection and Barron’s Viking drama. Bellwether translations by Panin and Conan Barron’s prefatory notes receive mixed reaction. Delia Bacon biographical sketch reviewed for Hawthorne letters and literary context.

Delia Bacon and the Baconian theory of Shakespeare

A review traces Delia Bacon as the subject of conjecture and sympathy, noting her fragile intellect and the kindness of Emerson and Hawthorne toward her Shakspere studies. It contrasts her ambitions with her limited education, and mentions the subsequent biography by Theodore Bacon, while previewing a series of book notices on pedagogy and memory.

The Countess Eve and a Moral Theatre of Sin

A critique of J. H. Shorthouse The Countess Eve noting its aim toward artful moral drama rather than pure novel form. The review praises vivid scenes of the countess’s struggle and the story’s central motive of temptation and conscience, while calling much of the work decorative and faintly tapestry like. The piece mentions acting notes and occultism as minor passions compared with the book’s core moment of a fatal error seen through divine light. The Countess Eve by J. H. Shorthouse is reviewed as published by Macmillan & Co. and Estes & Lauriat at $1.
