70 and strikes the best balance. I hope that libraries will buy all three books, because each of the authors has something worthwhile to add to the Rosenberg saga, but any one of the three is likely to give interesting insights to the individual reader. It is, however, somewhat disturbing to observe the discrepancies between the three accounts: names vary and occasionally dates or other facts vary. It perhaps hardly matters seriously. On the other hand, if Rosenberg is now to be given his due recognition, it is a pity that the authorities on him face us with further enigmas. One has the sense of trusting Professor Cohen most, since until her death in 196I he was in close touch with Rosenberg's sister Annie, who did more than anyone else to enhance her brother's reputation; yet Cohen perversely anglicises (or Americanises?) J. H. Amschewitz's name and allows a number of minor errors to creep into his text, such as the misquoting of Siegfried Sassoon's age (p. 15) or the irritating time confusion or omission later in the book (p. 134). Dr. Wilson, too, allows Wilfred Owen's name to be spelt wrong on the two occasions it occurs in her book; on such minor points Miss Liddiard appears to have taken more care. Let us not, however, make niggling criticisms over this bounty of homage to Isaac Rosenberg, but rather be glad that his name will now be better known, his background better understood and, when spring brings with it the rebirth of his Collected Works, his achievements better presented to scholars, students and general readers.
