First Published in 1959, The Life of John Middleton Murry is the
first biography of one of the most controversial figures in English
letters. Many people know Middleton Murry in one or other of his
capacities: as editor (of the avant-grade magazine Rhythm, while he
was still an undergraduate, of The Athenaeum in its last, most
brilliant phase, The Adelphi in the 1920s, Peace News in the '40s);
as the foremost critique of his day; as author of some forty books
on literary, religious and social questions; as the husband of
Katherine Mansfield and intimate of D.H. Lawrence; as prophet,
politician or farmer.... Few, even of his most vigorous champions
or opponents, discerned the consistent purpose uniting all his
multifarious activities. To trace that is the principal aim of this
book. Believing that the duty of the 'official biographer' is
rather to present than interpret, the author makes no attempt to
evaluate Murry's theories objectively, confining himself to showing
how intimately they grew out of his strange, tragic (and
occasionally comic) experience. At the same time, he makes no
secret of his own view of Murry's significance both as a thinker
and as 'the representative figure of an age of breakneck social
transition'. The Life of John Middleton Murry will be of interest
to scholars and researchers of historical biographies, British
history, and literature.
