Mr. Hamlin Garland is an American author who up to this year has not been known or appreciated by the British public. His renders of the Arena have long been familiar with his peculiar and original genius; but it is not until the publication of this work, "Rose of Dutcher's Coolly," that the general reading public have had an opportunity of understanding that a new and powerful writer has arisen on yon side of the Atlantic with the genius to paint and the resolution to express the distinctive characteristics of civilization in the middle states. Mr. Garland in this book has essayed a very difficult task, but despite occasional blemishes, such as the persistent use of the words "clean" and "clean-souled" in describing his characters, which somewhat grates on the English ear, he has Achieved a notable success. Rose of Dutcher's Coolly is a farmer's daughter of Wisconsin, whose pilgrimage from the humble farm to the zenith of her ambitions in Chicago is told with a freshness and a vigor and a realism which give a distinctive and rare value to the book. The Evolution of Womanhood. Mr. Garland paints America of the middle north-west as he knows it, and the pictures he gives, first of the life on the farm, then of the college girl's career at the University, and, finally, of the debut of the beautiful country girl in Chicago society, are all executed with a master hand, and enable us to breathe, as it were, the very atmosphere which surrounds the heroine in all stages of her development. That is one great value of this book. Better than any other book that I know, it brings back to me the sense of what was best in America as I saw it in Illinois, in Ohio and Michigan, and for that alone it is a book which all Englishmen and Englishwomen would do well to read. But that after all is the mere husk and casing, the outer envelope, so to speak, of the kernel and soul of the book. The essence of Mr. Hamlin Garland's story is the evolution of womanhood in a healthy, vigorous, beautiful girl, the emergence of whose consciousness is traced with loving care and with sympathetic touch. It is not often that an author ventures to show the way in which a girl, hovering on the verge of womanhood, thrills responsive to the immemerial charm of sex.... -- Review of Reviews , Volume 15
