ABSTRACT

25 January 1934, p. 59

Humphry House (1908–55), after a year as English Fellow and Chaplain at Wadham College, Oxford, retired (1932) into lay life and taught classics at the University of Exeter, 1933–4. He eventually returned to teach at Oxford. He edited the Notebooks of Hopkins (1937) and was apparently writing a biography of Hopkins’s early life at the time of his death.

The text used here is that of the reprint of the article in House’s collection of essays, All in Due Time (London, 1955), which excluded the final paragraph of the original review.
