Poems in Book
"THE LOVE POEMS OF ELIZA. BETH AND ROBERT BROWNING." Edited and with an introduction by ‘Louis = Untermeyer. New Brunswick, N. J., Rutgers University Press, $3.50.
NO TWO LOVERS ever published | their passionate attachment so | completely as Elizabeth and Roblert Browning. | "eid As a result women of the 18th century swooned when they read | Elizabeth's sonnets, while admirers [of Robert's poetry formed Browning clubs all over the United States, Nobody can ever write about the poems of the Brownings without writing about the poets, for they were so intensely personal. Louis Untermeyer is the latest to-explain this extraordinary attachment in introducing “the love poems of Elizabeth and Robert Browning.’

GUSTAVE DORE, famous French artist, once drew a group of pictures for the fairy tales of Charles Perrault. Stories and pictures have been reproduced in a handsome book, All the French Fairy Tales by Perrault, reteld by Louis Untermeyer. The pictures that amused several generations of French chil~ dren also will entertain Americans this season. (Didier, $3.) New stories for boys and girls who enjoy a running narrative that | hag substance and quality are being | published this season by Longmans, | Green. They include “Search for Glory,” by Kevin Guinagh, a story ot a young man's career in France many years ago, illustrated by Ben Kutcher ($2.50); “Westward the Course,” a story of adventures with the Lewis and Clark expedition, by Hildegarde Hawthorne ($2.50); “Red | Heritage,” a tale of the Mohawk | valley during the American revoluftion, by Merritt Parmelee Allen | ($2.25), and “Marta the Doll,” by | Eloise Lowensberry, illustrated by Marya Werten ($2).
Shakespeare Plots Retold In Two Excellent Books
_ "THE READER'S SHAKESPEARE." | By Babette Deutsch, New York, | Messner, $4.
"SHAKESPEARE ARRANGED = FOR MODERN READING." By Frank. W, Cady and Van H. Cartmell, New York, Doubleday, $5.
SHAKESPEARE is revived annuslly, and this season sees the publication, among other books, of the Reader's Shakespeare, a guide to the plays by Babette Deutsch and Shakespeare = Arranged’ for Modern Reading, by Frank W. Cady and Van H. Cartmell. Miss Deutsch's book ‘is far removed from the simple retelling of plots in Charles Lamb's “Tales from Shakespeare.”
It is much better. Miss Deutsch recognizes the importance of the story in the plays, but she. also knows the significant actions, fine speeches and turns of phrase, Her chapters on 16 of the great plays lead the reader deftly into them. .

WHAT HAPPENS in the plays, how it happens, and what makes them alive and interesting are mat- | |ters described. { “This tiny, imperfect pebble Is ‘added to the monumental cairn of Shakespeare literature with humility,” writes Miss Deutsch. She has no theories to substantiate: her task is solely to lead you to enjoy the plays. » » ” THE SECOND Shakespeare book is more pretentious and runs to 1165 pages. It attempts to cover all the plays and some of the poetry. Mr. Cady is professor of] English at Middlebury; Mr. Cart-| mell editor in chief of Garden City| Publishing Co. There are illustra-! tions by Rockwell Kent. Here] (again the object is to lead readers {into the plays. Some passages are summarized, others given in full. How valuable the book will be to you depends on how much you want summarized, how much quoted in full. ‘But for students in a hurry, and for those who. cannot give the | time to read Shakespeare line by line, it should serve ,a most. useful | purpose.

"EAMON DE VALERA." By M. J. MacManus.: Chicago-New York, Ziff-Davis Publishing Co. $3
TWO BOOKS newly published in | December fill’ in interesting details of the history between the two world wars. Neither James M. Cox nor Eamon | de Valera was one of the leading! protagonists of history in the! Twenties and Thirties. But each played his supporting role in a way the careful historian will not ignore. The new autobiography and biography clarify these roles. » ” »
THE PRESIDENTIAL election of | 1920 was one of the times the! American people chose wrongly in their ballots. They voted for Warren G. Harding for President and Calvin Coolidge far Vice President. In the case of Mr, Harding, at least, they had later the opportunity to regret the costly weakness of the man they had elected.
Defeated Democratic nominees in 1920 were James M. Cox fer President and Franklin D. Roosevelt for | Vice President. It is not the historian's business to consider “might | have been” cases. But this one is a very interesting possibility. ! Had Mr. Cox been elected, the United States almost eertainly| | would have joined the old League | of Nations, which might then have | had a 50-50 chance of preventing a third world war, And Mr. Roose-

In his lifetime record, there is nothing to indicate that he would not have been an above-the-average President had he been chosen in 1920. .
It is interesting to read Mr. Cox’ analysis of the Democratic defeat | in 1920. He made the most exten- | sive campaign tour ever undertaken | { by a presidential candidate—it was] the last campaign before the radio. | One day he passed through In-| diana fronf southwest to northeast, ! making 26 speeches during the day, mostly from the rear of his train.

| - {
me into every county where an in-|

cumbent sheriff was in danger of defeat.”
s s » MR. COX believes that he lost; the election chiefly because the bal-| ance of power was held by three racial groups, which had all gone over to the Republican side. “The Ger man-Americans were angry with Wilson because of the| war,” he says. “The Irish-Ameri-cans were inflamed because Wilson | did not make the independence of Ireland a part of the Versailles treaty. The Italian-Americans were enraged because Fiume had been taken away from Italy.” He also blames Elihu Root and William Howard Taft for having been deceived by . Mr. Harding's campaign managers into believing that the United States would join the League of Nations if the Republicans won. This opinion of Mr. Taft and Mr. Root kept a great many supporters of the League of i Nations from switching to the { Democratic column, Mr. Cox also publishes in his | autobiography numerous letters and his own judgments of events. They will be of considerable importance to future’ biographers of William Jennings Bryan Woodrow Wilson, Franklin R. Roosevelt, Cordell Hull and others.
