Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Red Light of Mars: Or a Day in the Life of the Devil There is to me something typically American about the life-story leading up to the play contained in this volume - a story in which the creation and publication of that play will undoubtedly represent only a temporary climax. I want to tell it, not only as a curiosity, but as something that has genuine significance to the world of letters. The meaning of this story, read in conjunction with the work that has grown out of it, is that the time when books were bred by books only is about gone now. The new literature will come straight out of life, apparently, and will in consequence have made a decided gain, even though it may have lost something else. As it springs forth, full-blooded and ready-tongued, we shall undoubtedly hear melancholy voices proclaim the vulgarization of poetry. But if, on hearing such protests rising from some anæmic scholar´s cloistered cell, we look back through the ages and fix our gaze not only on the little followers but on the great leaders - on the Dantes and Shakespeares and Cervanteses and Molieres - then we shall find that almost always the term of opprobrium quoted above has implied a vitalization of the supposedly menaced art form. The author of "The Red Light of Mars" is now in his thirtieth year, having been born on January 7, 1884, in Howard County, Maryland. His father was a Baltimore merchant and insurance broker, who, in his turn, had a Confederate blockade runner for father and an officer in the English army for grandfather.
