Between 1908 and 1911 Arnold Bennett wrote a weekly column on books for The New Age under the name Jacob Tonson, and these are the pieces he chose to keep. He judges the novelists and poets of the day, attacks the circulating-library censorship and timid publishers, and comments on the business of authorship from the inside.
