In the thirties age of social concern and radical belief, of thwarted hopes and twisted careers, of disenchantment, yes, but of vitality and excitement too poor James was put back in his familiar corner of obscurity. It was only in the midforties, in the decades following the Second (and perhaps Last) World War, that James was "discovered," and rediscovered, and discovered again, until he took on, with each passing year of our period, a greater and greater importance. Isn't he now the source of a whole literary, academic and critical foundation an industry? Like his own scoundrelly philosopher of "The Coxon Fund" strange irony James has become an institution. He is considered today not only a major figure in world literature but, with Melville, as a supreme American artist sometimes as the only American writer of modern times.

second half of the twentieth century may be remembered for its solution of a curious problem. Although Western democracy created the conditions responsible for the rise of modern science, it is now evident that it may never fully profit from that achievement. The so-called "democratic philosophy' ' of human behavior to which it also gave rise is increasingly in conflict with the application of the methods of science to human affairs. Unless this conflict is somehow resolved, the ultimate goals of democracy may be long deferred.
