Poets in Review: Baddeley and Others in New Volumes
A historical critique surveys recent minor poetry and several new volumes. It praises Baddeley for Lorton Vale and Cassandra while noting flaws in rhythm. Broome’s Danae drama shows dramatic promise but overimagines. Brent Hilton and Panton Ham receive mixed judgments, with comments on form, metre, and influence from Wordsworth and Coleridge.

The Life of Bismarck in Hesekiel’s View
A London review critiques J. G. L. Hesekiel’s Life of Bismarck as lacking impartial clarity and argues the work reflects the author’s biases. It notes Mackenzie’s translation aims to present Hesekiel’s hero as a rare, balanced ruler, conflicting with broader English constitutional ideals and with Carlyle’s portrayal of Frederick the Great.
