Eliot accused Squire of using the London Mercury to saturate literary London with journalistic and popular criticism. According to Robert H.

Squire is now considered to be on the "blimpish" wing of the reaction to modernist work. A reappraisal of the periodical network of early twentieth-century literary London, and problems with the term modernism, have encouraged scholars to cast their nets beyond the traditional venue of modernism – the little magazine – to seek to better understand the role mass-market periodicals such as the London Mercury played in promoting new and progressive writers.
