by Howard Coster

Belfast-born Robert Lynd worked briefly for the Northern Whig before moving to Manchester and then to London as a free-lance journalist. In 1908, he became a staff writer for the Daily News (later the News Chronicle) and from 1912 to 1947 was the paper's literary editor. Under the pseudonym of Y. Y., Lynd contributed a weekly literary essay to the New Statesman from 1913 until 1945. It is for this remarkable sequence of essays that he is best remembered today.
