Scope and content

The King's Mound, Mansfield Road, Oxford. - Thanks Trevelyan for his letter; it was indeed his review in the "Literary Supplement" [ "Lucretius in Blank Verse." The Times Literary Supplement, 9 Oct. 1937, p. 730]; glad he did not 'find it unjust', and hopes his own 'real admiration & enjoyment' came through any criticism he felt he should make. Will be happy to hear more from Trevelyan about the points he raised, especially about blank verse. Had an 'interesting' talk with J. A. Smith last night, who said Trevelyan had discussed the work with him. Though he usually has the rule of not reviewing the same work twice, he has also done it for "English", but it is there more the impetus to consider various verse translations of Lucretius in different periods [English: Journal of the English Association, Volume 1, Issue 6, 1937, pp 563–565].
