M. Tomlinson: a Selection from His Writings (1953) edited by Kenneth Hopkins The Trumpet Shall Sound (1957) Reception Tomlinson was much admired in the 1920s. In 1921, Christopher Morley praised what he saw as the "exquisite, considered prose" to be found in Tomlinson's 1918 book of essays, Old Junk:How direct and satisfying a passage to the mind Mr. Tomlinson's paragraphs have. How they build and cumulate, how the sentences shift, turn and move in delicate loops and ridges under the blowing wind of thought, like the sand of the dunes that he describes in one essay. Frederic P. Mayer, however, writing in the Virginia Quarterly Review, expressed a less admiring view: Notes References Mayer, Frederick P. H.M. Tomlinson: The Eternal Youth.
