Welsh Journals

CHORUS THIS CAP FITS YoU. A regiment full of camaraderie where Welshmen from Llandudno to Llanelly get together and talk about the Eisteddfod, Tommy Farr, and the rolling mountains of their homeland that's what you find in the Welsh Guards. (ADVT.). THIS NEW WRITING. The New Statesman said last week of the contributions to this number that they are on such a consistently high level that it would be almost invidious to mention names." We are delighted to agree. The Listener also said last week: there is nothing left but New Writing to supply the demand for good prose, good verse, and good criticism." We need hardly add further reasons of our own for thinking that New Writing should be in every intelligent person's library. (ADvT.). Self-exported. Richard Eberhart teaches English at St. Marks School in Mas- sachusetts. Last Spring he was so fortunate as to enlist for his department the pedagogic services of W. H. AUDEN. (ADVT.). (New Directions 1939. Ed. James Laughlin IV.). IGNORE THIS TRASH. this young author (Richard Llewellyn) has jumped straight into the front rank of modern novelists, and he has made the reading public more than ever conscious of the new force in literature the body of brilliant young Welshmen now sounding new notes in poetry and fiction. How Green was My Valley is not only a first- rate novel; it is also creative writing, drawing its power from sources as yet but little known. It is in fact a portent." (ANONYMOUS REVIEW). What brilliant body ? A Welsh one, or Envoy- Extraordinary from Bloomsbury Street ? Are not his unprecedented rewards of cashing in" sufficient without these merchant-hacks trying to identify themselves with a serious bunch of writers ?
