Scope and content

The New Statesman, 10, Gt. Queen Street, Kingsway, London, W.C. - Is sorry that Trevelyan is angry about the alteration to his review of [Gordon Bottomley's] "Gruach": explains that the line about the play being 'on a level with Macbeth' could not stand in an unsigned review. Describes his struggle to keep reviewers from hyperbole and his feeling that the 'currency of praise has been debased.'
