REVIEWED IN 1935 AND BROADCAST IN 1965 AUDEN, Wystan Hugh, and Christopher ISHERWOOD.

The Dog beneath the Skin or where is Francis? A Play in three Acts.

Sixth impression. When Bridson had reviewed the play on its first publication in 1935 (along with two other works), he thought it ‘very good fun … as slick, symbolical and smart-Alecky as The Orators’, though the versification of the choruses was ‘on the slack side’. In 1965 Bridson included a radio production of the play the in-depth examination of ‘Britain in the Thirties’ of which he was the general editor.

A TRAGIC FARCE DAVIDSON, John.

Smith: a Tragedy.

First edition of a rare foray into drama by a Scottish poet who influenced T.S. Eliot and Wallace Stevens. John Davidson (1857-1909) was highly regarded during his lifetime by writers like W.B. Yeats, and later by Eliot, Stevens, and Aldous Huxley. Along with Yeats, Ernest Dowson, and others, he was a member of The Rhymers Club, whose members met at the ‘Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese’ in Fleet Street. His poem ‘Thirty Bob a Week’ (1905 was a particular favourite of Eliot’s, who edited a collection of Davidson’s poems in 1961, and frequently vocalised the artistic debt he owed the Scottish poet. Davidson’s own life was consistently tragic, and his constant money troubles and bouts of depression eventually caused him to commit suicide in March 1909.
