From the guide to the Desmond MacCarthy manuscript material : 1 item, 1950, (The New York Public Library. Carl H. Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and His Circle.)
Desmond's first experience as an editor was with New Quarterly and then Eye Witness (later renamed: New Witness). In 1913 he began writing a weekly column for the New Statesman eventually becoming literary editor in 1920, then the drama critic. Desmond also contributed weekly articles to the London Sunday Times and broadcast literary talks for the BBC. Mary (or Molly, as she was known to most) wrote two books, A Pier and a Band and A Nineteenth Century Childhood, as well as other works. Although not particularly well-known for their writings, the MacCarthys were surrounded by the colorful personalities that defined turn- of-the-century English drama, art, literature, and society in general.
