1910. Throughout the course of romance on element occurs
continually, the marvellous. In the literature of every age its
presence is provocative of pleasure or criticism upon the part of
the reading or learned public. In the myth and legend of the
barbarian it multiplies under religious and faithful sanction. With
the rise of a critical philosophy it is subjected to searching
analysis; but no philosophy or science of a few can check its
advance, for it lives perennially in the hearts and in the
superstitions of the ignorant masses. Contents: Greek Criticism of
Fiction and Marvel; Psychology of Wonder; Wonder in Primitive Mind,
Custom and Belief; Wonder in Central Australian Belief and Story.
