According to information from the Spectator (March 1985) the author was F.C. Moore. Those reviewed along with Hopkins included Edward Thomas, Sassoon, and Newbolt, leading the writer to exclaim: ‘How much excellent poetry has been written in an age when the verse form of expression is supposed to be at least obsolescent.’ When he turned to Hopkins, however, he could only praise Bridges’s editorship (Mellown claims that he had only read the Preface).
