Tudor Lecture Enjoyed
“Into the highlands of the mind (where all good novelists dwell),” Miss Mary Ellen Chase, novelist and Smith College English professor, last night carried the large audience which filled Caleb Mills Hall where she spoke under the auspices of the Tudor Hall Alumnae Association. Shé was introduced by Mrs, Henry C. AlEins Jr., alumnae association president. In discussing “The Larger Life in Books” Miss Chase admonished her listeners that the four most common mistakes made in reading fiction are: Reading from a subjective point of view (judging whether you like a book or not); reading from a moral point of view (a novelist cares nothing for the morals of his readers); reading with too great emphasis on the story (a novel with nothing but a story will be short-lived) and assuming what is real to the reader is necessarily real to the novelist (we don’t understand novelists because we don’t know what is real to them). Before. he reads any novel an intelligent reader must have in mind three questions, she declared. “What is the author trying to do? How does he do it? Was it worth doing?” “The minute a noveliSt becomes a preacher he becomes a bad novelist,” she said. In this category she classified Lloyd Douglas. “George Eliot would have been a greater novelist if she had not been so good a preacher,” she added. ~ “Suspense per se is the meanest literary motif. All first-rate novels have something more th&n a story and all second-rate novels have nothing but a story. Novels are born of ideas, thought and visions—not of people,” she declared. If you're going to read a book at all the only way to read it is 2 one sitting, she said. “That’s just being courteous to the author.”
