Moore, T. Sturge. "The Mind to Suffer." Review of Joyce, James,
Exiles: A Play in Three Acts,
1918.
Times Literary Supplement no. 862,
(25 July 1918):
346.
A poet himself, Moore had been reviewing poetry for TLS. Comparing E to mixed reactions to P, he notes "an unacted problem play is not the book to clear the public mind. Yet this work does prove the author's imagination independent of stimulus from self-preoccupation; and, though a first play, roughly straining its means, it reveals sources of spiritual passion and constructive power which should greatly cheer the friends of his talent." He notes ambiguity. "Will not the Stage Society or the Pioneers let us and the author see this play, so that its shortcomings may become apparent to him and its virtues be brought home to us with their full force?" In a letter to Pinker (21 August 1918) JJ asks that he send the review to the Stage Society, Pioneer Players, and Miss Horniman of Manchester.
