After the War, in 1919, Socialism was already dead as a doctrine: it existed only as a grudge. In Italy especially, it had one only possibility of action: reprisals against those who had wanted the War and must now pay its penalty. The Popolo d'Italia carried as sub-title "daily of ex-service men and producers," and the word producers was already then the expression of a turn of mind.
Les Caractères is the title of La Bruyère's book; but its sub-title 'Les Moeurs de ce Siècle' gives a juster notion of its contents. The whole of society, as it appeared to the subtle and penetrating gaze of La Bruyère, flows through its pages. In them, Versailles rises before us, less in its outward form than in its spiritual content its secret, essential self.
Wherefore the present writer gives the following succinct statement of the reasons which induced him to adopt the unlikely sounding title and sub-title. In accordance with old-established custom, Ferragus is a name taken by the head of a guild of Devorants, id est Devoirants or journeymen.
MacDowell suffered an illness which threatened for a time to bring a tragic termination to their happiness, and through which the hope of a child was lost to them. 'Hamlet'; b. When "Lancelot and Elaine" was published three years later it bore the sub-title: "Second Symphonic Poem."
And so, when we are on the point of condemning him as a scene-painter, we suddenly come upon a stretch of pure musical beauty, that flowed from the unconscious rapture of true poet. As the bee sucks, so may we cull the stray beauty and the more intimate meaning, despite and aside from this outer intent. In the sub-title we see the growing impulse towards graphic music.
His Apologia pro Vita Sua, which he wrote in reply to an attack by Charles Kingsley, an Episcopal clergyman, is really, as its sub-title indicates, A History of His Religious Opinions. This intimate, sympathetic account of his religious experiences won him many friends.
The supplement treating of Munchausen's extraordinary flight on the back of an eagle over France to Gibraltar, South and North America, the Polar Regions, and back to England is derived from the seventh edition of 1793, which has a new sub-title: "Gulliver reviv'd, or the Vice of Lying properly exposed."
Russell's History of Modern Europe has the sub-title A view of the Progress of Society, etc. The didactic poem of Payne Knight, The Progress of Civil Society , a very dull performance, was quite unaffected by the dreams of Priestley or Godwin. We have been told by Tennyson that when he went by the first train from Liverpool to Manchester he thought that the wheels ran in grooves.
The sub-title, "or Virtue Rewarded," also indicates the homiletic nature of the book. And since the one valid criticism against all didactic aims in story-telling is that it is dull, Richardson, it will be appreciated, ran a mighty risk.
Sir Arthur Pinero's play, The Profligate, was written at a time when it was the fashion to give each act a sub-title; and one of its acts is headed "The Sword of Damocles." A rather flagrant example of suspended attention is afforded by Hamlet's advice to the Players.
