'New Writing — Phelan and Charlton'

Bates reviews:

• Folios of New Writing edited by John Lehmann, (other issues reviewed in November 1936, July 1940, November 1940, August 1941)
• Jail Journey by Jim Phelan
• More Charlton by L.E.O. Charlton

Bates praises Folios of New Writing to be "the only serious attempt to remedy the fact that the English literary periodical is dead."
