SOME QUARTERLIES
The first quarterly issue of Mr. Desmond MacCarthy's Life and Letters (2s. 6d.) is little different, in appearance or quality of content, from its previous monthly form. The Editor makes an attack on popular conceptions of Lytton Strachey as a Biographer; William Plomer contributes an excellent short story about Corfu ; there is a hitherto unpub- lished poem by D. H. Lawrence ; and Austin Clarke, E. V. Lucas, and Stella Benson are among the other writers. The London Mercury (edited by J. C. Squire, 3s.) has the usual chronicles, a study of Weber by Emil Ludwig, and interesting contributions by Harley Granville-Barker and Mona Wilkinson. This Quarter (edited by Edward Titus, 5s.) contains, among much of interest, essays by T. 0. Beachcroft and Montgomery Belgion, poems by E. E. Cummings and J. M. Reeves, an effective short story by Neville Brand, and a rather jaunty editorial On Translations.
