The magazine published a number of significant articles by Cyril Connolly, including "Conversations in Berlin", "The Position of Joyce" (April 1929), "England not my England" (October 1929) and "Under which King?" It was seen as a precursor to Connolly's Horizon. The title was revived in 1945 as Life and Letters and the London Mercury and Bookman, but ceased publication in 1950. (en) |
