Henry Woodd Nevinson : In the Valley of Tophet

'I am quite sure there is an aspect of these industrial districts which is really grandiose, full of dark splendours, & which has been absolutely missed by all novelists up to date. Tirebuck in 'Miss Grace of All Souls' was too much interested in his individual characters to note synthetically the general aspect, & Nevinson in 'Valley of Tophet' also let it escape him...'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Book

Henry Woodd Nevinson : The New Spirit in India

'The India book is most interesting. Nevinson is a dear. What is happening now there only shows that nations as well as men may find themselves in a bitterly false position.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Conrad      Print: Book

Henry Woodd Nevinson : Sitting at a Play

'In the same No. [of Harper's Magazine] Nevinson has a story-- and Lord it is bad. The whole No. is so inept that I feel sick to see myself there.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Conrad      Print: Serial / periodical
