+JAMES LANE ALLEN
+
+A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE AND WORK
+
+
+While "_The Choir Invisible_" was primarily a love story, the setting
+in which its action moved was historical. Apart from the masterly
+handling of human passion and the harmony of thought and expression
+with which he has treated the larger and deeper movements of life, it
+is probably Mr. Allen's ability to picture forth the early settlement
+of Kentucky that has given his writings so solid a foundation in the
+literary affections of English speaking people.
+
+The fascination that "_The Choir Invisible_" has had for so many
+thousands of readers is assuredly due as much to the author's faithful
+historic treatment of the mighty stream of migration which had begun to
+spread through the jagged channels of the Alleghanies over the then
+unknown illimitable West as to his power to tell an absorbing story.
+When "_The Choir Invisible_" appeared, this perhaps most fascinating
+period of early American history had not been used as a background of
+his story by any great master of fiction, and it requires no very keen
+literary insight to discover the sources of the popularity which has
+been accorded to the four or five recent novels, each of which has for
+its setting a period in our history whose glamour has touched our
+hearts and stirred our imaginations.
+
+Contemporary judgment is singularly unanimous in placing Mr. Allen in
+the front rank of American novelists, and it may not be out of place
+here to quote the opinions of two or three of the leading literary
+critical journals. WILLIAM MORTON PAYNE, in the _Dial_ says that:
+
+    "Looking about among our younger men of letters for the promise of
+    some new and vital impulse, it has for several years seemed to us
+    that such an impulse might be expected to come from the work of Mr.
+    James Lane Allen. He has published few books as yet, but the number
+    is sufficient to reveal a steadily increasing mastery of his art,
+    and the quality such as to warrant readers of discernment in
+    predicting for him a brilliant career and an assured place in the
+    front rank of American writers. _The Choir Invisible_ does not
+    disappoint these expectations. It is not only the most ambitious of
+    Mr. Allen's books, considered merely as to its sale, but it is also
+    the one in which he has carried to the highest pitch that fineness
+    of perception and that distinction of manner that have from the
+    first set his work apart from the work of nearly all of his
+    contemporaries. Hardly since Hawthorne have we had such pages as
+    the best of these; hardly since _The Scarlet Letter_ and _The
+    Marble Faun_ have we had fictive work so spiritual in essence and
+    adorned with such delicate and lovely embroiderings of the
+    imagination. There are descriptive passages so exquisitely wrought
+    that the reader lingers over them to make them a possession
+    forever; there are inner experiences so intensely realized that
+    they become a part of the life of his own soul."...
+
+And again writing in the _Boston Transcript_, Bliss Carman, says:
+
+    "There are two chief reasons why Mr. Allen seems to me one of the
+    first of our novelists to day. He is most exquisitely alive to the
+    fine spirit of comedy. He has a prose style of wonderful beauty,
+    conscientiousness and simplicity.... He has the inexorable
+    conscience of the artist, he always gives us his best; and that
+    best is a style of great purity and felicity and sweetness, a style
+    without strain and yet with an enviable aptness for the sudden
+    inevitable word.... And yet that care, that deliberation is never
+    tedious."
+
+Hamilton W. Mabie is attracted more by the landscape beauty of Mr.
+Allen's work, and he too makes an original contribution to our subject.
+He says in _The Outlook_:
+
+    "No American novelist has so imbedded his stories in Nature as has
+    James Lane Allen; and among English novels one recalls only Mr.
+    Hardy's three classics of pastoral England, and among French
+    novelists George Sand and Pierre Loti. Nature furnishes the
+    background of many charming American stories, and finds delicate or
+    effective remembrance in the hands of writers like Miss Jewett and
+    Miss Murfree; but in Mr. Allen's romances Nature is not behind the
+    action; she is involved in it. Her presence is everywhere; her
+    influence streams through the story; the deep and prodigal beauty
+    which she wears in rural Kentucky shines on every page; the
+    tremendous forces which sweep through her disclose their potency in
+    human passion and impulse. There was a fine note in Mr. Allen's
+    earliest work; a prelusive note with the quality of the flute....
+    In _Summer in Arcady_ a deeper note in the treatment of Nature was
+    struck, and Mr. Allen's style took on, not only greater freedom,
+    but a richer beauty. The story is a kind of incarnation of the
+    tremendous vitality of Nature, the unconscious, unmoral sweep of
+    the force which makes for life. So completely enveloped is the
+    reader in the atmosphere of the opulent world about him, so deeply
+    does he realize the primeval forces rushing tumultuous through that
+    world, that at times the human figures seem as subordinate as those
+    in Corot's landscapes. And yet these human struggles are intensely
+    real, the human drama intensely genuine. Whatever may be thought of
+    the wisdom of presenting the sex problem so frankly, Mr. Allen's
+    sharpest critic must confess that in no other American book is
+    atmosphere so pervasive, so potential, so charged with passion and
+    beauty.
+
+    In _The Choir Invisible_ a still deeper note is struck; the moral
+    insight, always clear, is more penetrating; the feeling for life is
+    at once more restrained and more passionate; the constructive skill
+    is more marked; the style surer and entirely moulded to its theme.
+    This story is so steeped in beauty, both of the world and of the
+    spirit, that it is not easy to write of it dispassionately. It has
+    a richness of texture which American fiction, as a rule, has
+    lacked; there are depths in it which American fiction has not, as
+    rule, brought to the consciousness of readers; depths of life below
+    the region of observation. There is in it the unconsciousness and
+    abandon which are the very substance of art, and which are so
+    constantly missed in the fiction of extreme sophistication."
+
+Our final opinion, that of James McArthur when he was editor of the
+_Bookman_ carries some weight both on account of the position of the
+writer and also by reason of his keen literary sense.
+
+    "... Poetry, 'the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge,'
+    according to Wordsworth, the impassioned expression which is in the
+    countenance of all science'--that poetry irrespective of rhyme and
+    metrical arrangement which is as immortal as the heart of man, is
+    distinctive in Mr. Allen's work from the first written page. Like
+    Minerva issuing full-formed from the head of Jove, Mr. Allen issues
+    from his long years of silence and seclusion a perfect master of
+    his art--unfailing in its inspiration, unfaltering in its classic
+    accent.... So that when we arrive at _The Choir Invisible_ we find
+    there a ripeness of matured thought, an insight into the moral
+    depths of passion, and an entrance into the larger, deeper
+    movements of life, a realizing power, a broader sense of humor, as
+    well as humor itself, a concentrated and universal human interest;
+    all of which is not so much the result of finer art as of a greater
+    absorption of life, which comes not from more knowledge, but from
+    more wisdom. _The Choir Invisible_ is like an inward realization of
+    the 'Domain of Arnheim!' More than in his other books there rests
+    upon this work that unembarrassed calm, where truth sits Jove-like
+    'on the quiet seat above the thunder,' where the spirit is
+    dignified, is priest-like, and inspired; where beauty dwells in a
+    harmony of thought and expression that subdues and haunts us. In
+    short, in _The Choir Invisible_ Mr. Allen has come to that stage of
+    quiet and eternal frenzy in which the beauty of holiness and the
+    holiness of beauty burn as one fire, shine as one light, which, as
+    Sidney Lanier has demonstrated, denotes the great artist. _The
+    Choir Invisible_ undeniably places its author among the foremost in
+    American letters. Indeed, we venture to say that it would be
+    difficult to recall any other novel since _The Scarlet Letter_ that
+    has touched the same note of greatness, or given to one section of
+    our national life, as Hawthorne's classic did to another, a voice
+    far beyond singing.
+
+    A word, however, about Mr. Allen's _Summer in Arcady_ which
+    precedes this, and was published * * * subsequent to _A Kentucky
+    Cardinal_ and _Aftermath_. In these two books Nature was interwoven
+    benignantly with the human nature resting on her bosom, leading her
+    lover, Adam Moss, with gentle influences to the human lover, and
+    when bereft of human love, receiving him back into her healing
+    arms. Not so in _Summer in Arcady_; the sunlight that brooded in
+    calm over the forces of Nature that nursed Adam Moss's latent
+    powers of loving into domestic serenity, rouses the fierce claw and
+    tooth of Nature to drag Hilary and Daphne down to her level. As
+    clearly as the poet saw that, 'all's Love, yet all's Law' so
+    clearly is the same truth held in these stories with their
+    divergent ends. The lawlessness of Nature is the lawlessness of
+    man, untempered and ungoverned by that principle of chastity which
+    is the law of love; and again Nature, lawless in herself, becomes
+    beneficent, law-abiding, when controlled by that higher law of
+    instinct in man which is the seal and sign of the Divine upon his
+    soul. Without moralizing, a moral principle is at work in _Summer
+    in Arcady_; it is its vital distinction that over the whole action
+    reigns a moral simplicity which, like sunlight, licks up the
+    foetid, the exciting, sickening, uncertain torch-flames of passion.
+    And in order to point the way to a full justification of the
+    author's sincerity and moral purpose against the charge of
+    pandering to a decadent taste for the 'downwardtending' fiction of
+    the hour, it will be sufficient to show that the plea for the
+    Divine supremacy of goodness, and for an unfallen purity in man and
+    woman, has never been more strongly urged in modern fiction than in
+    _The Choir Invisible_.
+
+    If in _Summer in Arcady_ there were readers who were troubled by
+    the heat lightning of passion that incessantly fluttered in its
+    bosom and threatened to bolt from the blue, their fears will be
+    laid to rest in the contemplation of Mr. Allen's new work which is
+    pervaded by an intense summer calm--the brooding calm of the
+    Country of the Spirit--but which does not preclude, rather is
+    reached through, the fierce fightings of human spirit for victory
+    over the evil passions of human nature--the fiercest struggle that
+    can rend asunder the human breast, that of holding fast the
+    integrity and purity of manhood and womanhood at any cost."
+
+As a historical novelist then, Mr. Allen has taken his rank with the
+few men of whom Nathaniel Hawthorne is perhaps the most famous; and for
+the same reason. Both have given us pictures of the lives of our
+forefathers, whose faithfulness has assured them a position as classics
+in American literature. True to the instinct of his genius Mr. Allen
+has again chosen a stirring period in our history as a background for
+his new novel "_The Reign of Law_" which THE MACMILLAN COMPANY publish.
+Both the hero and heroine are products of a Revolution, and the scene
+of the plot is situated in the Kentucky hemp fields. The Revolution on
+the one hand was the social upheaval that our Civil War caused in the
+South. While on the other hand it was the moral and intellectual
+Revolution which followed the great discoveries in physical and social
+science in the middle of this Century.
+
+The two chief characters of the story are a young man and a young
+woman. The young man sprung from the lowest stratum of Southern
+society, and the young woman from the highest. The story of the
+intermingling of their lives must be left for the reader to discover.
+
+As was so often the case during the political reconstruction of the
+South, the heroine passed from the sphere of the high social
+organization which existed at her birth to the humblest and most
+obscure hard manual work, while the hero rose from the lowest social
+condition to the highest intellectual plane, finding his development
+along the lines of religious and scientific thought. When they finally
+meet, the latter half of the story shows their influences on each
+other.
+
+The involved social and political conditions, the play and interaction
+of phases of life, so utterly different as those which form the
+experiences of these two people, have allowed Mr. Allen a wide scope
+for the subtle analysis of character of which in his exquisitely
+delicate art he is such a master.
+
+The trend of the book, and the religious crisis through which its hero
+passes, give the story its title; while an important part in the
+development of the hero's character is played by his passionate love
+story.
+
+A well known critic affirms that the story contains by far the finest
+and noblest work Mr. Allen has yet done, both in respect of that human
+passion and interest which characterizes his former work, and also in
+the tender reverential feeling with which he dwells on the simple rural
+life of the Kentucky which he loves so well. In spite of the reserve
+which characterizes the author, a few of the leading facts of his life
+have found their way into print, and may be of interest to many who
+read his books.
+
+He comes from Virginia ancestry and a pioneer Kentucky family. His
+mother's maiden name was Helen Foster, whose parents settled in
+Mississippi and were of Revolutionary Scotch-Irish stock of
+Pennsylvania. He was born on a farm in Fayette County seven miles from
+Lexington, Kentucky, where he spent his early childhood. He was
+educated in Kentucky (Transylvania) University, and graduated in 1872.
+For several years afterward he taught in District schools, at first
+near his home and then in Missouri. He afterward became a private
+tutor, and finally accepted a Professorship at his Alma Mater which he
+exchanged for a similar position at Bethany College, West Virginia. He
+gave up this latter profession in 1884 and began his career as a writer
+in the city of New York.
+
+The chief literary and critical Magazines and papers of those years
+contain many of his essays, while all his short stories saw the light
+in "Harper's Magazine" and the "Century." These short stories were
+collected and published under the title of "_Flute and Violin_." His
+other books are "_The Blue Grass Region of Kentucky_," "_A Kentucky
+Cardinal_," and its sequel, "_Aftermath_," "_A Summer in Arcady_," and
+lastly "_The Choir Invisible_," some two hundred and fifty thousand
+copies of which have found their way into the hands of readers on both
+sides of the Atlantic.
+
+A new and complete edition of Mr. Allen's works is now being issued by
+THE MACMILLAN COMPANY. It will contain seven volumes; including _The
+Reign of Law, A Story of the Kentucky Hemp Fields_, an account of which
+has been given in the preceding pages.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
