John Middleton Murry

John Middleton Murry (6 August 1889 – 12 March 1957) was

an English writer. He was a prolific author, producing more than 60
books and thousands of essays and reviews on literature, social
issues, politics, and religion during his lifetime. A prominent critic,
Murry is best remembered for his association with Katherine
Mansfield, whom he married in 1918 as her second husband, for
his friendship with D. H. Lawrence and T. S. Eliot, and for his
friendship (and brief affair) with Frieda Lawrence. Following
Mansfield's death, Murry edited her work.

Early life
John Middleton Murry was born in Peckham, London, the son of John Murry (1860/1-1947), a clerk in the
Inland Revenue, and Emily (1869/70-1951), née Wheeler. John Murry, a self-made man from an
"impoverished and illiterate" background, prioritized his son's education;[1] Murry was educated at Christ's
Hospital and Brasenose College, Oxford.[2] There he met the writer Joyce Cary, a lifelong friend.

He met Katherine Mansfield at the end of 1911, through W. L. George.[3] His intense relationship with her,
her early death, and his subsequent allusions to it, shaped both his later life and the attitudes (often hostile)
of others to him. Leonard Woolf in his memoirs called Murry "Pecksniffian".[4] By 1933 his reputation
"had touched bottom", and Rayner Heppenstall's short book of 1934, John Middleton Murry: A Study in
Excellent Normality, could note that he was "the best-hated man of letters in the country".[5]

Editor
Murry was editor of the literary magazine Rhythm from 1911 to 1913,[6] and then The Blue Review.[7] In
1913 an associate, the publisher Charles Granville of Stephen Swift Ltd, was found guilty of embezzlement
and bigamy, and imprisoned. Some debts had been put in Murry's name, and their finances were seriously
affected for the next six years.[8] In 1914 he met D. H. Lawrence, and became an important supporter. The
next year they started a short-lived magazine together, The Signature.[9] In 1931, after a complex evolution
of the relationship, Murry wrote in Son of Woman one of the first and most influential posthumous
assessments of Lawrence as a man.[10] Medically certified as unfit for military service, with pleurisy and
possible tuberculosis,[11] during the war years he was part of the Garsington circle of Ottoline Morrell.

In 1919, Murry became the editor of The Athenaeum, recently purchased by Arthur Rowntree.[12] Under
his editorship it was a literary review featuring work by T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, Clive
Bell, and other members of the Bloomsbury Group. It lasted until 1921. It had enthusiastic support from E.
M. Forster,[13] who later wrote that "Here at last was a paper that was a pleasure to read and an honour to
write for, and which linked up literature and life".[14] Its fate was to be merged into The Nation, which
became The Nation and Athenaeum, in the period 1923 to 1930 edited by H. D. Henderson.[15][16] In
1923 he became the founding editor of The Adelphi (The New Adelphi, 1927–30), in association with Jack
Common and Max Plowman. The magazine continued in various forms until 1948. It reflected his
successive interests in Lawrence, an unorthodox Marxism, pacifism, and a return to the land.[17] According
to David Goldie, Murry and the Adelphi, and Eliot and The Criterion, were in an important rivalry by the
mid-1920s, with competing definitions of literature, based respectively on romanticism allied to liberalism
and a subjective approach, and a form of classicism allied to traditionalism and a religious attitude. In this
contest, Goldie says, Eliot emerged a clear victor in the sense that, in London during the 1930s, Eliot had
taken the centre of the critical stage.[18][19]

Critic
Murry reviewed for The Westminster Gazette and then The Times Literary Supplement, from 1912.[20]
Initially he was much influenced by the philosophy of Henri Bergson, which he disavowed in 1913.[21] He
was one of an identified group of post-World War I critics that included Richard Aldington, Robert Graves,
Aldous Huxley, Herbert Read, and Edgell Rickword.[22] Murry gave Huxley an editorial job at The
Athenaeum.[23] Murry also helped encourage British interest in the work of Fyodor Dostoyevsky: his 1916
work Fyodor Dostoevsky: A Critical Study argued Dostoyevsky was an important novelist and
philosophical thinker.[24]

Murry led the charge against Georgian poetry. A leader in the 16 May 1919 edition of The Athenaeum was
an early example of a reasoned attack against the Georgian style of verse; and Murry coupled this with an
adversarial attitude to The London Mercury edited by J. C. Squire.[25] He reviewed quite harshly Siegfried
Sassoon's Counter-Attack in 1918, despite having helped him in 1917 to draft an anti-war piece for H. W.
Massingham's The Nation.[26] In-house, however, he was not master enough to award an essay competition
prize to the then-unknown Herbert Read, over the wishes of George Saintsbury and Robert Bridges, who
preferred the poet William Orton.[27]

F. R. Leavis admired and was influenced by Murry's early criticism;[28] later he criticised Murry in the
pages of Scrutiny,[29] but continued to acknowledge a debt to him late in life.

On Romanticism
Murry gave his philosophy its fullest expression in his writings on Keats and Shakespeare and in an
ambitiously titled volume, God: An Introduction to the Science of Metabiology. There, picking up certain
concepts from his acquaintance George Santayana, Murry describes the project of Romanticism as one of
inner exploration:

"To discover that within myself which I *must obey, to gain some awareness of the law
which operates in the organic world of the internal world, to feel this internal world as an
organic whole working out its own destiny according to some secret vital principle, to know
which acts and utterances are a liberation from obstacles and an accession of strength, to
acknowledge secret loyalties which one cannot deny without impoverishment and
starvation – this is to possess one's soul indeed, and it is not easy either to do or to
explain."[30]

The upshot of this discovery results in the highest degree of ethical awareness, "an immediate knowledge
of what I am and may not do."[31] The awareness of one being "really alone" in the universe,[32] as he put
it, marks the final point of discovery which is followed by the upward ascent to spiritual life.

Murry vividly narrates this exploration as a spiritual conversion (in his 1929 book GOD) —what he
describes as a "desolation" followed by "illumination"—after the death of Katherine Mansfield (who had
moved to G. I. Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, where she died).

The Adelphi
In 1930 Max Plowman joined Murry and Sir Richard Rees in developing The Adelphi as a socialist, and
later pacifist, monthly; Murry had founded it in 1923 as a literary journal (The New Adelphi, 1927–30).
Rees edited it from 1930; Plowman took on the role in 1938.[33] The Adelphi was closely aligned with the
Independent Labour Party;[34] Jack Common worked for it as circulation promoter and assistant editor[35]
in the 1930s. Throughout this period, Murry's then close friend and protege, Guernsey-born G. B.
Edwards, was a regular contributor to the magazine. Thanks to Murry's support, Jonathan Cape
commissioned Edwards to write a book on D.H. Lawrence but following Lawrence's death it was never
completed.[36]

He moved to Norfolk; to South Acre; and then, with his third marriage in 1931, to the Old Rectory,
Larling. Murry told Antony Alpers the biographer of Katherine Mansfield that K.M.'s manuscripts had all
been "dispersed to collectors" in the 1930s. He had the manuscripts of nine or ten completed stories, and
when an admirer wrote to ask if he would sell a manuscript, he would reply that some land adjoining his
farm in Norfolk was on the market or that he needed a tractor, so would sell one for the amount he
required.[37]
Plowman co-founded (in 1934) and ran the Adelphi Centre.[38] It was an early commune, based on a farm
in Langham, Essex bought by Murry.[39] Short-lived in its original conception, it ran a Summer School in
August 1936 that was stellar: George Orwell spoke on "An Outsider Sees the Distressed Areas" on 4
August, with Rayner Heppenstall in the chair. Other speakers were Steve Shaw, Herbert Read, Grace
Rogers, J. Hampden Jackson, N. A. Holdaway (a Marxist theorist and schoolmaster, and a director of the
centre), Geoffrey Sainsbury, Reinhold Niebuhr, Karl Polanyi, John Strachey, Plowman and Common.[40]

By 1937 the commune had collapsed, and the house, 'The Oaks', was turned over to some 60 Basque
refugee children under the auspices of the Peace Pledge Union; they remained until 1939.[41]

Lodge Farm, Thelnetham

In October 1942 Murry set up a new commune at Lodge Farm in the Suffolk village of Thelnetham. Murry
purchased the farm and recruited fellow conscientious objectors to run the enterprise. The commune had
mixed fortunes and it gradually reverted to a more conventional arrangement with Murry running the farm
as a commercial enterprise. He wrote an account of his time at Lodge Farm in the book "Community Farm"
which was published in 1953 and was illustrated by his brother, the artist Richard Murry.[42]

Political views

Marxist

Murry had a Marxist phase in the early 1930s. With his third marriage in 1931, he moved within Norfolk,
from South Acre to the Old Rectory, Larling, and wrote in two weeks his The Necessity of
Communism.[43] It was this identification as "mystical Marxist" that led Bert Trick (1889–1968) to
introduce Dylan Thomas to Murry, in 1933. The occasion went well enough for Richard Rees to publish
Thomas in the Adelphi.[44]

He supported the small Independent Socialist Party, a regional breakaway from the Independent Labour
Party.

Pacifist

Murry was an outspoken radical Christian and pacifist,[45] writing The Necessity of Pacifism (1937). He
was a Sponsor of the Peace Pledge Union, and editor of its weekly newspaper, Peace News, from 1940 to
1946.

Murry's opinions during this period often provoked controversy. He angered many left-wingers (including
George Orwell and Vera Brittain) by arguing that Nazi Germany should be allowed to retain control of
mainland Europe. Murry believed even though Nazi rule was tyrannical, it was preferable to the horrors of
total war.[46][47] Murry later "renounced his pacifism in 1948 and...urged a preventative war against the
Soviet Union, ending his life as a Conservative voter".[48][49] Finally Murry's opposition to the Soviet
Union was attacked by pro-Soviet elements in the peace movement.[46]

Murry's anti-feminism also drew criticism from feminist pacifists such as Brittain and Sybil Morrison.[50]

Christianity
During this period Murry was widely known as a Christian intellectual. He had in fact considered
ordination as an Anglican priest, but gave up on it after a diagnosis in 1938 of Buerger's disease, coupled
with doubts about his marriages (his third was then breaking up messily).[51]

Elitism

His views converged with those of Eliot: he supported a type of elitism foreshadowed by Samuel Taylor
Coleridge's clerisy, and argued for by Matthew Arnold.[52][53] In Christianity and Culture, Eliot partially
supported Murry's reasoning from The Price of Leadership (1939), though stopping short of the
endorsement of Arnold.[54] When Murry died, Eliot wrote to Mary that 'a very warm affection existed
between us'.[55]

Family
Murry was married four times: first to Katherine Mansfield in 1918;
after her death in 1923 he arranged the publishing or republishing
of her works. In 1924 he married Violet Le Maistre, in 1932 Ada
Elizabeth Cockbaine,[56] and in 1954 Mary Gamble.[57] With his
second wife, Violet Le Maistre, he had two children: a daughter,
Katherine Violet Middleton Murry who became a writer and
published Beloved Quixote: The Unknown Life of John Middleton
Murry in 1986, and a son, John Middleton Murry Jr., who became
Grave of John Middleton Murry at
a writer under the names of Colin Murry and Richard Cowper.
Thelnetham Church in Suffolk
There were also two children from the third marriage.[58]

Depictions

In fiction

Aldous Huxley portrayed him as "Denis Burlap" in Point Counter Point (1928).[59] He was the model for
Philip Surrogate in Graham Greene's 1934 novel It's a Battlefield; Greene did not know him personally.[60]
David Holbrook wrote that Gudrun and Gerald in Lawrence's Women in Love were based on Mansfield
and Murry.[61] D. H. Lawrence satirised him in a number of short stories. In Lawrence's novel 'Aaron's
Rod (1922), the title character is based on Murry. The relationship between Lilly and Aaron in the novel
mirrors that of Lawrence and Murry.[62]

Dramatic portrayals

Murry appears as a character in Amy Rosenthal's D.H. Lawrence biodrama On The Rocks. In the 2008
Hampstead Theatre production Murry was played by Nick Caldecott with Ed Stoppard as Lawrence and
Charlotte Emmerson as Mansfield.[63][64]

In Leave All Fair (1985) he is portrayed by John Gielgud as a sanctimonious exploiter of Mansfield's
memory who ill-treated her during their association.

In Priest of Love (1981) he is portrayed by Mike Gwilym.

Heron Press
The Heron Press, Hampstead published Je ne parle pas français by Katherine Mansfield in 1919; 100
copies in 1919 (July to December) and 100 in January 1920. They were printed on an Albion press in the
basement of the Murry's house known as The Elephant in East Heath Road and opposite Hampstead Heath
by Murry's younger brother Richard Arthur (and the second book published by Heron)[65] or Richard.[66]
Copies are now rare.
