His puppets are all agreeable, and, in one instance, vital: the father of the baroness, a financier, who could be easily turned into a "heavy" conventional father, but, as played by Hermann Nissen, is a positively original characterisation. I shall be very much surprised if Der gute Ruf does not soon appear on the stage of other lands.
This summing up, which does honour to Bjoernson and is not only a striking self-verdict, but a valuable contribution to poetic psychology in general, in its indication of the strength of the creative imagination and its possibilities of error, was followed by a co- ordinate attempt at a characterisation and appreciation of Goldschmidt: You are likewise unjust to Goldschmidt on this point, that I know with certainty.
Some slight and summary characterisation of these changing circumstances that have affected the incidence of the rights of property during modern times may, therefore, not be out of place; with a view to seeing how far and why these rights may be due to come under advisement and possible revision, in case a state of settled peace should leave men's attention free to turn to these internal, as contrasted with national interests.
Union to Him brings us to fulfil the ideal of human nature; and this is life, to know and trust Him, the King. Our Lord adds a brief characterisation of the effect of John's ministry. It was of mingled good and evil, and there is a tone of sadness perceptible in the ambiguous words. John had aroused great popular excitement, and had stirred multitudes to seek to enter the Kingdom. So far was good.
Similarly there are some dozen character types in the customary drama, and all original that is, truthful characterisation will be dismissed as a total absence of characterisation because it does not reproduce any of these dozen types. Thus every truly original play is bound to be indicted for bad technique.
Seccombe says, "a triumph of complex characterisation." He is "a joyous liver and an unscrupulous libertine, sceptical as Voltaire, as atheistic as a German professor, as practical as a Jew banker, as subtle as a Jesuit, he has as many ways of converting the folks among whom he is thrown as Panurge had of eating the corn in ear.
I could therefore style a great part of his works of negation suppressed parliamentary speeches, and I think the characterisation would suit them well." IV. "Faust" and Victor Hugo May 6, 1827. At a dinner-party at Goethe's, after conversation on certain poems, he said, "The Germans are certainly strange people.
"His fair heroine's nose has in my opinion been too severely handled by some modern critics," writes Criticulus, after a passage of warm praise for the characterisation, the morality, and the 'noble reflections of the book'; and he proceeds to point out that the writings of such critics "will never make a sufficient recompense to the world, if Mr Fielding adheres to what I hope he only said in his warmth and indignation of this injurious treatment, that he will never trouble the public with any more writings of this kind."
Although the novel was completed in so short a period, neither story if one or two instances of evidences of haste is ignored nor characterisation has suffered. For the main theme Scott was indebted to an old legend of the horoscope of a new-born infant.
By far the greater writer of the day in Spain, however, in light literature, is Juan Valera, at once poet, critic, essayist, and novelist. His Pepita Jimenez is a remarkable novel, full of delicate characterisation and exquisite style, second to none produced in any country a novel full of fire, and yet irreproachable in taste, handling a difficult subject with the mastery of genius.
