FRED LEWIS PATTEK
who centrlbutM some Illuminating
sidelights en American literature
'PENNSYLVANIA CR1TIQ
Whimsical Humer and Keen Ob
servation Mark Dr. Pattce's
Papers
A geed many high school and acad
emy students lenrn the fundamentals of
our native literature from Fred Lewlt
Pattee's "American Literature,"' and
college students find much of reference
value and critical significance In his
"American Literature Since 1870."
New Dr. Pattee, whose work bag
largely had cultural aim and pedagogic
drive, comes forth with a volume of
critical essays which, ns geed essays
should, have n partaking bense of litera
ture In nnd for themselves. The title,
"Sidelights en Amcricnn Literature"
(Centurv Cempnnyl, is net intrlguingly
attractive, Rounding as If n hint of in
terior stiperlicinlily or stodginess. The
book is tiPlthei. for It has externa
charm of stjle nnd depth of thinking.
Although a teachpr he is professor ,
of English literature at Pennsylvania
State College Dr. Pattee is net a
pedant, but his pnges have much ac
curately gleaned Information nB well as
quaint nnd unexpected erudition. A
quiet college town is nn admirable place
for measured thinking nnd leisured
evaluation. It gives opportunity for
unhurried reading and undistrncted re
search. All these opportunities Dr.
Pattee has taken ndvnntage. of.
Dr. Pattee. albeit a bit of liternry
conservative, his independence of Judg
ment and does net balk at Ftich a trifle
ns occasional lconeclasm. And he will
be somewhat disconcerting te the su
perior young person nnd the poseur nt
Intclliuentsl.i who hrnshh brush Hemer
and Shakespeare, Schiller and Uacine,
ns well ns the multitude of miner lumi
nal ics from their marble pedestals Fer
Dr Pattee does net hesitate te test with
his critical hammer the lnarmerealiu of
the recently enrven divinities before
whom much juvenile innocent p Is burnt.
This, his opening paper, is en what
may be called O. Henr.vism. Hi. Pat
tee demolishes It te his satisfaction. He
asseits that Svdney Perter was enlv n
"funnj man." Hating him with Pee,
Irving nnil Hawthorne is sheer non
sense, nctenling te Dr. Pattee. who
offers a v.'inetv of evidence in substanti
ation. Pillion writers of tedn.v, he
avers, suffer from the Influence of O.
Henry
There is n devastating consideintien
of Henrv L. Mencken, whom Dr Pattee
deitn-. "The P.illy Sunday of Criticism."
Dr Pattee Is cencernid, ns In the case
of O. Henr.v , with the effect of Mencken
Mencken Is widely rend, and is muih
Imitated, both in stjle and in point of
view. The Pattee pssnv will shock Mme
of the Menckemtis for the writer gees
ever his whole i ireer and men digs up
