N^He Winter Of Discontent In The Book Wo...
n ^ HE winter of discontent in the book world - ^ is upon us . It has likewise fallen upon
the newspaper world , though as yet we have not had any remarkable evidences of the
curiosities of the silly season . One of these curiosities ¦ , it is true , has appeared ta , and we are
* m , ^ glad of the opportunity to welcome a few notices of books in the columns of the daily
press . Since the armistice in parliamentary squabbling , we have seen one or two reviews of
books which were published a year or eighteen months ago , but though authors and publishers
may think the interval rather long , it is best to be thankful for what we can get .
The condition of affairs in ~ I * reviewing is without doubt amazingly unsatisfactory . The
daily papers , and some high-toned weekly ones I too , seem to take not the slightest notice of
1 new books until . they have been so long before the public that reviews are uncalled for , or
have disappeared so quickly from publicity that reviews are valueless . Newspapers receive
very considerable support from the publishers of Great Britain . The proprietors ^ k . a are indebted
to them for a regular course of tangible aid , more regular , perhaps , than that afforded by
— " - * . -a . % j the theatrical fraternity , and yet the latter body gets a much larger share of notice than
ordinary literary workers . Something ought to be done to induce the editors of our
metropolitan dailies to give fuller attention quickly to the reviews of new books ; this is a subject
for the consideration of authors , of whom there are a goodly number at work on the
newspaper press . One or two northern papers give an example in this respect which might
be worthily followed by the great journals of London to their own credit , as well a $ to the
advancement of literature viewed in its modern light as a profession . — - » 6 l
