Summary

J.C. Squire (1884-1958) bestrode the literary world of the inter-war era like a colossus. A poet, journalist, editor of the New Statesman and presiding genius of the London Mercury, he was much adored and – as a combative traditionalist – much reviled. Evelyn Waugh satirised him in Decline and Fall.
