Literary Leading Article
In this Autumn Books Number the Spectator introduces a new feature, a literary leading article, which will be found on page 399. It will be a main object of these articles to engage attention for what is new, valuable and interesting in the literary scene, which, in the large number of notices of individual books, might otherwise escape the notice of readers whose interest in contemporary writing is Ikeen but unprofessional. Though they will not seek to create artificial controversy, they will not attempt to avoid argument, for it is their intention to lead opinion, and it will be part of their method to " name names." Literary leading articles will not appear regularly; they will appear when it seems that an expression of the Spectator's opinion is called for.
