It serves as a scholarly yet accessible supplement for readers interested in the evolution of 20th-century English literature, offering context on their styles, historical significance, and the enduring popularity of their contributions to prose and verse.

British Counciland The National Book Leagueby Longmans,Green &Co.  \nTwo shillings and sixpence net  \nThese two writers of comedy are presented together for contrastrather than for comparison.  \nRonald Firbank(1886-I926)is a writer who is being 'discovered'bya new generation.He was a master of felicitous dialogue,and hisnovels,among them Valmouth,Vainglory,The Flower Beneath theFoot and the Artifcial Princess,have never lacked admirers.As Mr.Jocelyn Brooke says,'though not a great artist,'Firbank is 'that rarephenomenon in English literature,a pure artist,and as such he deservesour respect'.  \nJohn Betjeman,long known for his highly individual verse,and forhis essays on architectural taste,has had this said of him by Sir KennethClark:'his infuence',he wrote in a Prefatory Letter to a recent editionof The Gothic Revival,\"has not been exerted through learned articles,but through poetry and conversation...One of the few originalminds of our generation.Sir Kenneth also wrote of Mr.Betjeman'ssensitive response to everything which expresses human needs andaffections',and the tribute is apt.Mr.Betjeman has now added thedistinction of having made his poetry popular to an extent to whichthere has not been a parallel in our own time.  \nMr.Jocelyn Brooke,who has already contributed studies of ElizabethBowen(No.28)and Aldous Huxley(No.ss)to this Series,is the authorof distinguished novels.His fuller consideration of Firbank,whichwas published in I9SI,is among the best studies of that writer.  \n# Bibliographical Series\n\nofSupplements to'British Book News'on
