ABSTRACT
‘I am very reluctant to change my idea’, Murry confessed in May 1937, ‘but when I do change, I turn very thoroughly over to JLthe new one.’ 1 That was certainly true. His brilliant skit on dogmatic Marxism in the April Adelphi, ‘Freud and Marx, or Super-Ego and Super-Structure’, recalls earlier roundings on the Georgians, the Bloomsburies and the transcendentalists; whilst his sudden return to Christianity, or the Christian idiom, at the end of The Necessity of Pacifism contrasts signally with the calls of six years before for the ‘abolition of religion’.
