But such is the pu-blic attitude that few publishers accept a book full of fanciful (le- tails of the imagination, no matter how clever, unless it be from a writer who has already won his market. Yet, on the other hand, there has never been a time when so many writers of earnestness have chosen to express themselves in c- tion. Nothing equals it in vitality.

One of the first to set down his e1 own experiences on a clear sheet was H. G1. Wells. He had been a C student of science and approached H everything` with the thought that J 1` science could he l)'rou;_2,'ht to bear ongg all experiences. Wells is so sure ` `that he is the Moses who is to lead us into the promised land that it is hard to resist him. The war, how- ever, shook up Wells theories of life somewhat, especially in rexartl to love. He found that Nature, to use his own words, had been pulling his leg. He also came to the con- clusion that there was a curious` modernity in many of Christ s sa_v- t ings. But Wells interest in life is so intense that he is regarded as :1 l rectifyin_tz force even by many of those who see through his shallow- ` ness and egotism. Rarely has he 1 produced a living character. There I are many others like Wells, who pro- voke vivid and refreshing thought 1 but who try to produce conviction by artistic means solely.
