Theresa, another translation from the German, is a
tudy of a woman who drifts from an un-moral sophisti¬
ated girlhood into lonely middle-age, and grows up a
##ttle spiritually in the process. Theresa as a girl is a
ard, caleulating, intelligent young person who can fall
# love, though she is quite incapable of love in St.
Paul's sense of the word. For Max and Kasimir, who is
he father of her child, she feels passionate desire; her
elations with her subsequent lovers are more or less dis¬
Ilusioned. She drifts in and out of emotional affairs al¬
nost as casually as she drifts in and out of her many
ituations as governess—in Vienna references surely
ean't matter quite so much as they do in London. Her
legenerate, unloved child becomes the agent of her suffer¬
ing and education. She is no philosopher: but ciremm¬
stances make her realise that “of a truth she had not
zome into this world to be happy“'. For what then?—
20 wake to a terrible conviction of responsibility for her
wretched son?—to take on herself his guilt?—to learn
from being unhappy? Not that shy poses these ques¬
tions herself, but they are implicit in Authür Schnitzler’s
presentation of the facts, Theresa Gieswheff she is be¬
ginning to grow up. She has learnt from being un¬
happy, and that pitiful end redeems from sordidness a
dreary story. I don't like the starkness of Arthur
Schnitzler’s method, and he is a brutal portrait paintey.
but he has created a real person in Theresa.

We are not told to Whom we owe
#####anslation #o “ Theresa“ which more
tllan adequately conveys 10 üs its straight¬
forward realism. In this recent novel
Schnitzler rigidly confines himself to his
text—the fortunes of Theresa Fabiani in
Salzburg and in Vienna. It is a story of
steady declife, remarkably documented
with details of her affairs and situations
as a governess, which are somehow given
a faseinating interest. The incidental
characters pass before our eyes withra
life-like variety, and of Theresa herselk
we have a wonderfully complete historv
belore she is done to death by her illegit¬
mate son.
