In much nicer state than commonly met with. Along with Auden's 'Poems' and Philip Perceval Graves' 'The Pursuit', Macleod's debut was announced by the publisher as 'the best work of coming men'. It was recommended to Eliot at Faber by Ezra Pound, who maintained a correspondence with the emergent author and referred to the work in 'Canto CXIV'; Basil Bunting was among its other admirers.

The author had attended Balliol College, where he was a friend and contemporary of Graham Greene; his later work, published under the name Adam Drinan, located him in the Scottish Renaissance, whilst he also worked as a BBC announcer and theatre producer.
