Henry Van Dyke, Jr. (1852-1933), Murray Professor of English Literature at Princeton (1899-1923), was a defender of the genteel romanticism which dominated American letters for most of the nineteenth century. That tradition came under increasing attack by the realists and naturalists and was largely dissolved in the wave of modernism after World War I. Smith, American Fiction, 1901-1925 V-88.
