Professor de Selincourt, a noted scholar of English literature and an author, is at the present time conducting a seminar for advanced students of literature here. The place of Jane Atmten in the his- tory of the English novel, and the l relation of her writings to different types of novels of the 18th century, will be dealt with in particular by Professor de Selincourt. Distinguish- ing between the realistic and roman-, tic novel, he will use Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey' to show most clearly the style of the novelist. More widely read for pleasure in England than any of her contempor- ary novelists, Jane Austen's works,' because of their witty character, have, had a long lived popularity, Profes- hor de Selincourt stated. A contem- porary of Sir Walter Scott, Jane Aus- ten ,the dean believes, has the char- acteristics of the 18th century writers rather than those of the early 19th century, during which time she wrote her ,most famous works. Jane Aus- ten brings the past to its perfection instead of breaking new ground. One more lecture will be given by Professor de Selincourt, Monday, April 4, when he will discuss "The Genius of the Brontes." Following his stay here, Professor de Selincourt will visit the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin for the purpose of giving student lectures.
