What is it about?
The essay examines how in the late 1920s and early 1930s, T. S. Eliot promoted the work of Lawrence and Joyce as editor of the series of pamphlets, Criterion Miscellany (1929–36). It focuses on Lawrence's essay on censorship, “Pornography and Obscenity” (1929) and the satirical poems “Nettles” (1930), and on Joyce's Anna Livia Plurabelle. Fragment of “Work in Progress” (1930) and Haveth Childers Everywhere (1931). These pamphlets enhanced the reputation of Joyce and Lawrence in London's cultural fields at a time when Ulysses and (1922) and Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1927) were considered scandalous and objects of censorship attacks.
