Totalling 36pp., 4to. In fair condition, bound by Escott with brown paper into paper wraps, with the front wrap signed by Escott and bearing the typed label 'LETTERS from HERBERT PALMER on "Minstrels of Christ" and my second book of verse "Soar for Victory", amended in February 1948 to "Back to the Fountain."' An interesting correspondence, casting light on the workings of the mid-twentieth century publishing industry, from the point of view of a successful traditional poet strongly opposed to modernism. Four of the earlier letters concern Escott's anthology 'Minstrels of Christ' (published by the Epworth Press in 1941), with Palmer discussing the copyright of his poems (mostly divided between Dent and Benn) and offering 'two poems over which I have entire control'. He gives his opinion that a 'carefully compiled anthology sells anything from 2000 to 20,000 copies and as I know of no Post-Victorian anthology of Religious Verse you might sell considerably more than 20,000.' He adds: 'Poets like myself who have no other means of livelihood save literature are naturally chary about giving poems, much as they desire to do, and their publishers are generally rather tiresome.' He has gives a long list of poets he has marked down 'as "religious" in a greater or lesser degree' while compiling a 'history of Post Victorian Poetry for Dent'. On 21 March 1942 he accuses Escott of having 'so curiously let me down' over the use of his poems in the anthology, which Palmer was handed by Mary Winter Were while 'reading from my little book "The Gallows-Cross" to the Poetry Society': 'I did not want them re-printed in anybook exactly as they stood [.] I had written some new poems which were rather more suitable'. He claims to have been 'slighted and snubbed and boycotted' because of his writing of 'religious and Christian verse [.] and not only because I have opposed Eliot in satire and parody - whom I do not believe in as a Christian poet, and whom I regard as a dessicatory and disintegrating influence, especially in the Technique of Poetry [.] I have no income beyond the £100 Civil List Pension I get for "distinction as a poet" (whatever that may mean) and my reviewing and meagre literary journalism brings me in very little as, owing to my increased age, I do things very slowly nowadays. As a leading poet said to me a few months ago "It is strange that so lean and bitter a trade as poetry should attract hypocrites, but it does" - and that has been my chief cross as poet and critic for over 20 years. My wife, of course, has been the chief sufferer, and at present seems to be doing most of the work - school teaching, for which her age is now unfitting her.' A letter to which Escott replied on 7 April 1942 discusses religious matters in general, beginning: 'What are you? Are you a Methodist Minister, or Church of England Parson? My father was a Wesleyan Methodist Minister, and my brother who lives at Leeds is a Wesleyan Methodist Minister.' On being asked to look over Escott's book of verse Palmer responds as follows: 'I have during the last 3 months been battered to death by poet's [sic] MSS, books etc, and I have not had time to do more than glance through your book. And I now have to review books for a livelihood. If you like to pay me a fee of two guineas I will go through your book in detail and report on it (three guineas, however, it it takes me too long) It is impossible conisdering my circumstances to do otherwise.' Three of the letters discuss Escott's book in detail over seventeen pages. He writes a preface for the volume and advises Escott on which magazines to send poems to ('Now I must charge you a Guinea fee, but I think you ought to get it back - out of one of the periodicals I have mentioned.'). In the seventh letter in the folder Palmer tells Escott that he is 'a newcomer always with a first book of verse, even when you have been publishing for years in periodicals'. In editing Escott's work, Palmer summarises his own approach.…
