Max Gate,
30th. October '22 lmrchogtcr.
Dear Rowland Grey:

I do not objoct at all to your quoting the firat
paragraph of my letter, fix you wish to do so, to Mr Courtney, though
I fear he will think cemmendatjon (if it mam that) from an jntnrnntnd
party 18 not of much value.

I should like to answar ycur present lettnr mcrc Iully, hufi life

is too short. I forgot if I said in my last that I wondered you had

‘ not taken up my verse in preference to my prose.

Ycurs very truly,

July 29 1909.

Dear Miss Grey,

I send the Sprouts as promised.
Ther were two or three editions published
and this is my only copy of one of them.
They can always be ha& I think through the
second hand booksellers at a slight
increase on the original cost.

I do not know that any great poet
has particularly influenced me unless we
are to class Carlyle as one, as I think we

should, and Emerson as another. These

two were I think the making of me so far as

 

I am made. A later influence of another

kind, and here of course we come to a poet,‘
was Whitman, the only man to my thinking

with u true sense of the democratic sepira-

tions of the race, and the democratic

significance of all the world history \

. \W

present and past. \\
\\\l

Very sincerely yours, ,_

MISS ADELINE SERGEANT.
-' " lSS SERGE lNl‘ must have been quite as much
‘7 amused as gratified by the result of her latest
literary experiment. In publishing “The Story
of a l’cnitent Soul“ anonymously, Miss Sergeant
has Won for herself a brand—new reputation. But
the awkward part of the affair is that the new reputation is
won from a diiferent public than the old, and at the time pre-
' sent the two publics are barely on speaking terms ! The old
reputation was a very high and (both in the adjective’s
material and nobler sense) a very valuable one. It was the
reputation of a novelist who has a story of thrilling and some-
times melodramatic interest to tell, who tells it in good
vigorous English, who permits herself no intervals of dulncss
or padding, who chooses her characters from types well
approved and quite unambiguous. The public which gave
Miss Sergeant this reputation, gave her likewise many hours
of its prosperous middle-class leisure, gave her whole shelves
reserved for her books at its circulating libraries ; gave her
indirectly a handsome proportion of its Mudie guineas. But
it could not give her the dearest tribute of all—appreciation of
her best work. It noticed once in a while that, asking for
“another of Miss Adeline Sergeant’s,” it received something
that was not quite up to sample ; something that dealt with
the complexities, not of family relationship, but of the
human mind; something to be vaguely condemned as “ not
exciting.” Either because these lapses were few, or more
plausibly, because a literary reputation once fixed cannot be
altered, the smaller public which appreciates the best kinds of
work did not dispute the possession of Miss Sergeant with
the larger public which appreciates good work of its kind.
But with the anonymous publication of her last book the
position of allairs is altered. The smaller public has eagerly
. laid hold of “ The Story of a Penitent Soul,” and now makes
good its deferred claim upon the author of “ No Saint ” and
“ Esther .Denison.” The question is, which party will
conquer ?
ln efl‘ect this was the question which I put to Miss Ser-
ge int the other day, after congratulating her upon her pro-
foundly impressive work. ller answer was an explanation.
"' A book such as my last,” she said, “cannot be written at
frequent intervals ; it might be five years before I should be
able to write another.” Meantime, she implied, novelists
must live, and it was needful, considering the exhausting
character of their work, that they should do so in moderate
comfort. \Vhen Miss Sergeant presently mentioned that the
exhaustion of mind ensuing upon the completion of her work
has necessitated a sojourn in Egypt of many months, I began
to realise that the best work may be too dear when its
creator has to pay for it with brain and nerves. Miss Scr-
geant told me that nearly all her stories had been written to
order, and that she never thoroughly enjoyed commission work,

till?) llbU therewith. Mr Bentley recognised a one

popular merits of the tale, and asked Miss Sergeant to
furnish him with a second in a similar style. She then wrote
“Beyond Recall.” Miss Sergeant naturally continued for a
time to pursue the lines on which her success had been made,
and wrote, at short intervals, “An Open Foe,” “ Deveril’s
Diamond," and " Under False Pretences.”
of “No Saint,” in 1885, Miss Sergeant never returned quite to
her earliest and most sensational method. She began to
write much more to please her own high literary taste. Miss
Sergeant would under no circumstances cut adrift altogether
from plot. She does not admire novels which give us mere
strips of human life with raw edges. A story must, to
satisfy her, have a proper rise, development, culmination,
and conclusion. In her best works, therefore, we find, and
shall expect to find, the lives of persons interwoven in a more
symmetrical pattern than they are in this haphazardly
organised world of ours. The point may not be argued here,
for at a step further we should find ourselves struggling out
of our depth in the terrible quicksands of the Art and Nature
controversy.
It will be better, then, that I return to solid facts, and say
a few words about Miss Sergeant’s life. To any sympathetic
reader of “' Esther Denison ” and “ No Saint” it is manifest
that Miss Sergeant writes of N onconformist life with intimate
knowledge. Her father was, indeed, a Wesleyan minister,
and it was Miss Sergeant’s fate to flit from one house to
another every three years in the manner which she has
described. This custom probably interfered a. good deal with
her regular education as a child; but it gave her leisure for
reading, of which she amply availed herself. Both her
parents possessed considerable literary gifts, and at the age
of eight Miss Adeline Sergeant had already written some
little poems and concocted all sorts of stories. A few years
later she began to keep a diary, which she tells me would
have rivalled Marie Bashkirtsell’s for the extraordinary senti-
ments, hopes, and fears which she confided to its pages.
In spite of a childhood interrupted by constant removals,
a feeling of family tradition always made Miss Sergeant
look upon Lincolnshire as her home. Her family—to
make up, perhaps, for the migratory habits of their
descendants—had lived in the county for generations past,
and there is a quiet Lincolnshire churchyard where the
graves of the Sergeant family may be seen dating back to the
sixteenth century. At the age of sixteen schooling began
regularly. Miss Sergeant became a pupil of Miss l’ipe’s, at
Clapham Park, and two years’ later, on winning a scholar-
ship, went to Queen's College, Harley-street. Then within a
short space of time both parents died, and Miss Sergeant
took for a good many years to teaching. Then, in 1881, Miss
Sergeant made her first successful venture into literature;
and from that date, although she continued for a time to give
lessons, literature became more and more evidently her true
profession. Since 1887 Miss Sergeant has made her perma-
nent home in London, where she now inhabits a pleasant flat
in Chenies-street Chambers; blltifihfi is”.extrernellxyorciiond1 of

11 she could execute a publisher’s order to the letter,

;he kind of talc most in demand, measured to the precise

: of chapters and words desired. “ l have only written
auuurr lhrcc novels for my own pleasure,” she added, speci-
fying the three I have already named; “and then 1 have
indulged myself by writing them on hand-made paper, and [
have lilissfully disregarded all conventions about length.”
“The Story of a l‘enitcnt Soul ” threw the printers into
pmitive dismay by reason of its awkward size. When the
type had been set up, it revealed itself to be too long for one
\olume and not quite long (nough for two; but, by the time
the discovery was made, the novelist was safely away in
Egypt, so the book had to be produced without sacrificing
artistic unity to ink and paper.

It was chance which first led Miss Sergeant to write a
“novel of incident,” as it is technically called. Mr Bentley
altered a prize of £100 in 1881 for the best story which
should be sent in. Miss Sergeant, stimulated by the example
of a literary friend who was competing, wrote a tale of a
highly spiced character entitled “szcbi's \Vife,” and won
the 1.100 therewith. Mr Bentley recognised etionco the

travelling, and has spent three winters in Egypt, besides
making many continental pcregrinations.

I must say a word or two more about Miss Sergeant’s finest
literary achievements, because they can only be understood
when we realise the tenets which were held by nearly all
those amongst whom the novelist passed her childhood. The
Calvinistic doctrine of the eternal punishment of sin preached
in the ears of an imaginative child may never be forgotten.
It robs the child of its innocent gladness; the world of its
beauty. Upon our literature the influences of that doctrine
have been reflected in darkest thadows. “"hat is more
remarkable is that a belief which a writer may have long
since abandoned as a part of a religious creed gains a new
authority by being set before us in the guise of a scientific
truth. “The Story of a l’enitcnt Soul” owes its tragic
intensity to the fact that an awful retribution to begin after
death is exchanged for an immediate punishment to the sinner
during his life, nor during his life only, but throughout the
life of his descendants.

“ Disease is curable,” says the scientific man in the book,
“you can’t get rid of inheritance. ‘rou might as well try
