Lot Essay

Rhythm was founded by Middleton Murry in the summer of 1911, during his third year at Oxford, with the help of Michael Sadleir (1888-1957). Shortly after Easter 1912, Murry became K. M.'s lodger, and Michael Sadleir found himself pushed aside "despised by the Mansfield woman as an incorrigible bourgeois" (Alpers Life, p. 134).
