Review:

"The portrayals of Wyndham Lewis demonstrate the profound and persistent influence of his personality and art on a number of significant poets and novelists. They als reveal that he inspired considerable hostility in Huzley and the Sitwells' reluctant respect in Auden, Rickword, Joyce and Ford; and deep loyalty and admiration in Campbell, Pound and Elliott Baker." -- London Magazine
