John Edward Patterson : Love Like the Sea

‘J. E. Patterson has written a book around Minehead, perhaps "Fishers of the Sea", or no—"Love Like the Sea"; which I liked. Perhaps you might. He has power, but an amateurish trick of underlining his points which is irritating … The Sonnet of R. B. you sent me, I do not like. It seems to me that Rupert Brooke would not have improved with age, would not have broadened, his manner has become a mannerism, both in ryme and diction. I do not like it.’

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Ivor Bertie Gurney      Print: Book
