I do not know how it has come about that in so large a proportion ofrecent fiction it is held to be artistic to look almost altogether uponthe shady and the seamy side of life, giving to this view the name of"realism"; to select the disagreeable, the vicious, the unwholesome; togive us for our companions,... in our hours of leisure and relaxation, onlythe silly and the weak-minded woman, the fast and slangy girl, theintrigante and the "shady"--to borrow the language of the society sheseeks--the hero of irresolution, the prig, the vulgar, and the vicious;to serve us only with the foibles of the fashionable, the low tone of thegay, the gilded riffraff of our social state; to drag us forever alongthe dizzy, half-fractured precipice of the seventh commandment; to bringus into relations only with the sordid and the common; to force us to supwith unwholesome company on misery and sensuousness, in tales so utterlyunpleasant that we are ready to welcome any disaster as a relief; andthen--the latest and finest touch of modern art--to leave the wholeweltering mass in a chaos, without conclusion and without possible issue.
