Calendar of Modern Letters

Calendar of Modern Letters ( 1925 – 7 ),
a literary periodical, first a monthly, then a quarterly, edited by E. Rickword and Douglas Garman . It published fiction by D. H. Lawrence , Pirandello , A. E. Coppard , Gerhardie , and others; in its critical articles (some in a series called ‘Scrutinies’) it praised Lawrence and T. F. Powys , faintly praised S. T. Warner and others, condemned the ‘non-combatant’ and uncommitted critical attitudes of Gosse and the grossness of Arnold Bennett , found the products of Bloomsbury to be on the whole frivolous and sentimental, and praised the critical approach of I. A. Richards . Towards Standards of Criticism: Selections from the Calendar of Modern Letters was published in 1933 with an introduction by Leavis , and Scrutiny upheld many of its attitudes.
