It has never directly entered into our experience.
114 SPECIALISM IN LITERATURE Some time ago Mr. Brander Matthews made the original suggestion in the North American Review that books should be written for the benefit of the reader. The suggestion is not on the face of it para- doxical, but it will be rank heresy to those who blame the public for not bowing down before the sacro- sanctity of the " serious " author. He admits that " a book ought to be rich with the full flavour of the author's p...ersonality ; " primarily it ought to express him ; but secondarily — and this is Mr.
Brander Matthews' point — " it is for the sole benefit of the reader." I think we may go a little further than Mr.
Matthews, and find a second reason why certain authors fail to find favour with the general reader.
In the case which Mr. Matthews seemed to be con- sidering there are authors who have every qualifica- tion for writing except that they cannot write.
Secondly, there are authors who, in the ordinary literary sense of the term, can write, who have gathered knowledge and formed seriously-grounded opinions about life, who are nevertheless so out of touch with the broad, common interests of men that they invariably fail to make a strong emotional or imaginative appeal.
