Shores of paradise : Sir John Squire, last of the Georgian poets

Smart, John, 1946-2021
Books
J.C. Squire (1884-1958) bestrode the literary world of the inter-war era like a colossus. A poet, journalist, editor of the New Statesman and presiding genius of the London Mercury, he was much adored and - as a combative traditionalist - much reviled. Evelyn Waugh satirised him in 'Decline and Fall'.
