ABSTRACT
Whilst Jenks was involved with the RRA and Church and Countryside, he was also struggling to rebuild his career and make a living. His journalism was once again prolific, with articles in The New English Weekly and, from April 1943, Jenks renewed his relationship with The Weekly Review.1 Less positively, after a long wait, Faber and Faber rejected his book; although de la Mare was in favour of publication, his colleagues felt that it was too similar to Kenneth Barlow’s recent The Discipline of Peace.2 De la Mare hoped that it would be published elsewhere and Jenks accepted his offer of help with this.3
