  poetrymagazines.org.uk - The Calendar of Modern Letters
The circumstances of its foundation, as Edgell Rickword recollected them for me, were these: the paper was the project of a group of young writers engaged in freelance writing in London.
Rickword and Bertram Higgins, both poets who had been publishing in different literary magazines for a few years, had met at Oxford between 1919 and 1921; Douglas Garman was down from Cambridge.
The recognition of this inner necessity (which Rickword uses much as Aristotle uses the notion of plot or myth) constitutes the recognition of value — and it springs ultimately from the writer’s conception of life and the adequacy of his vehicle in presenting that conception.

 Jacket 29 - April 2006 - Barry Wood and Bill Luckin: Catch the Music as it Fades: The Poetry of Jack Beeching
Rickword’s is not the modernism of the Imagists, Poundian vers libre and the fragmentary poetic structures of Eliot’s The Waste Land.
Rickword’s modernism grows out of Baudelaire, Rimbaud and, from the twentieth century, Valery and TS Eliot—though it is the Eliot of the essays rather than — or as much as — the poetry.
Rickword was Beeching’s bridge to Baudelaire and Rimbaud, on the one hand, and to the modernism of Crane (and possibly Allen Tate and Wallace Stevens) on the other.

EDGELL RICKWORD was born in Colchester, Essex, on 22 October, 1898.
Rickword: We were a sort of discontented club, discontented with all the established novelists and the literary cliques.
Rickword: I am a Marxist in the sense that I try to relate public happenings to the tissue of cause and effect which he divined in the interplay of material and economic forces.

 TLS Centenary Archive - Introduction
Eliot was less fortunate in the reception of his poetry by the TLS, though the paper’s criticisms of The Waste Land were a matter of substantive critical disagreement, not – as has sometimes been suggested - of mere blindness to the poem’s qualities.
The reviewer was Edgell Rickword, a poet and critic then in his mid 20s, who was to become a powerful literary figure on the Left (and an influence on F. Leavis).
Rickword was one of several young critics published by the TLS in this period whose reviews brought to attention original work which otherwise might have taken much longer to break through.

Arguments of heart and mind sets the terms for debate on identity, gender and tradition by exploring what it has meant to write in the twentieth century.
Women's poetry is the dominant but not the exclusive preoccupation of the book, as the central section engages closely with admired writers - some feminist, some not: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, D.J. Enright, Kipling, Adrienne Rich, Edgell Rickword, Sylvia Townsend Warner.
In the final section 'Culture and feminist theory', the author examines the constructions of gendered identity in a variety of contexts: poetic ambiguity, girls' school stories, cookery books and psychoanalytic debates.

I managed to pick up a bit about Rimbaud and how his poetry fit his life, but the insertion of the author’s personal history and comparison of himself in the article made it difficult for me to enjoy it.
Compared now to the web site, this article managed to not just give a book review for Edgell Rickword’s Rimbaud: The Boy and the Poet, but also put some insights about the author in the article to peak those interested in the subject.
The article was primarily written for a crowd reading for enjoyment, but managed to be informative at the same time.
