A biography of the writer,critic and literary editor who was central to the early success of D.H.Lawrence, H.E.Bates, E.M.Forster, Somerset Maugham, Henry Williamson, John Galsworthy, Joseph Crane, Robert Frost and Liam O'flaherty amongst others.
For nearly fifty years he read manuscripts, assessing their literary and commercial potential,for various publishers,notably T. Fisher Unwin, Duckworth & Co., and Jonathan Cape.He also reviewed extensively,wrote numerous critical articles,promoting new work and authors,attacked the literary establishment of the day,published two novels,several plays and campaigned vigorously against censorship in the theatre.
Described hard,but fairly and honestly - nowhere as detrimental as it reads or sounds.
