TO A.D. 1890.] JOURNALISTS AND POEts. 1089 passed from political literature into energetic political life, with high aims in each. William Edward Hartpole Lecky, born also in 1838, who published, in 1865, his History of the Rise of Rationalism in Europe; in 1869, a History of European Morals, from Augustus to Charlemagne; and from 1878 to 1887 six volumes of a History of England in the Eighteenth Century, also maintains the spirit of historical research, and applies his study to the life of his own day. Archibald Forbes, born also in 1838, represents the skill and courage of the modern newspaper correspondent. In Henry Austin Dobson, born 1840, Andrew Lang, born 1844, Edmund William Gosse, born 1849, study of our past life and literature is joined with a genius of their own that adds healthy criticism and graceful verse to the sound literature of our day. Austin Dobson collected in 1873 his Vignettes in Rhyme and Vers de Société. Other volumes of his verse have been Proverbs in Porcelain (1877), Latter-Day Lyrics (1878), At the Sign of the Lyre (1885); he has also published special studies of Prior, Steele, Gay, Goldsmith, Fielding, and Hogarth. Edmund W. Gosse published poems in 1873 On Viol and Flute; King Eric, a Drama, in 1876; New Poems in 1879; he published in the same year Studies in the Literature of Northern Europe; has been editor or biographer of Gray; has published A View of the Influences upon English Literature from Shakespeare to Pope (1885), and has written A Short History of English Literature in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. Andrew Lang, besides the writing of light verse, as Ballads and Lyrics of Old France (1872), Ballads in Blue China (1888), has translated, with S. H. Butcher, the Odyssey into Prose (1879), and given the Iliad in Prose (1883) without collaboration. He has given also in English prose Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus; has published Selections from Apuleius (1887), and has made wide study of Folk-lore. He edited Grimm's Household Tales, in 1884, and Perrault's Popular Tales, in 1888. In 1886 he published Letters to Dead Authors; in 1887, Myth, Ritual and Religion; in 1889, Prince Prigio, a Fairy Tale. Familiar names of men honoured by their contemporaries for true work in Literature might fill more pages, but of our immediate present let our children speak in days to comedays worthy of the past that gave them power.
