Periodicals with Contributions by Jocelyn Brooke

Jocelyn Brooke contributed to a wide range of periodicals including Horizon, The London Magazine, The Listener, The New Statesman, The Times and The Times Literary Supplement. Two are worthy of special notice. One is The Ray, a magazine published by the pupils at Bedales while Brooke was at school there. It ran fro eight numbers, the first being issued in 1925 and the last in 1928. Brooke was a contributing editor. No. 5 contained a parody by him, Afterwards in the Library, which was “suppressed” by the school authorities. The other is the double number of Adam International Review (Nos. 297-298) published in 1961 and devoted almost exclusively to Brooke’s long critical article Proust and Joyce; the case for the prosecution.
