Spectator Competition—No. 14
Set by A. D. C. Peterson
Since the publication of Mr. T. S. Eliot's version of the Electra, there has been a growing realisation that many literary works were composed by the wrong authors. Readers are invited to set this right by contributing from ten to twenty lines from any of the folowing works : "The Prelude," by Edith Sitwell ; "The Hound of the Baskervilles," by Henry James ; "The Ancient Mariner," by Alexander Pope ; "The Importance of Being Earnest," by T. S. Eliot ; "Paradise Lost," by Robert Browning ; any one of the Ten Commandments, by the Parliamentary Draftsmen. A prize of £5, which may be divided, will be awarded.
Entries must he addressed to the Spectator, 99 Gower Street, London, W.C.1, in envelopes marked "Competition," and must be received not later than April 14th. Results will be published in the Spectator of April 21st.
