The Realism War


•	The art of fiction has, in fact, become a
	finer art in our day than it was with Dickens
	and Thackeray . . . . These great men are of
	the past.

•	The new school derives from Hawthorne
	and George Eliot rather than any others . . .
	. This school, which is so largely of the
	future as well as the present, finds its chief
	exemplar in Mr. James.
