Includes Herbert Read's somewhat controversial and defamatory seven-page review of T.E.Lawrence's 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' ("By the time this note appears, the topical interest of Colonel Lawrence's book will have subsidedthe meditative reader will wonder if, after all, it was a great book: whether all that the reviewers said about it was really true; whether Bernard Shaw is to be trusted as a critic of literature; and what good, finally, is the newspaper reputation of any book"). Also includes Lascelles Abercrombie's 'Bothwell's End (Fragment of an unfinished play)', plus further reviews by John Rothenstein, Roger Hinks, Harold Child and others. O'Brien F0093.. Book.
