Hi I'm researching a paper on 'The Charioteer' and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get hold of the original magazine / newspaper reviews of it (first published 1953). Thanks

The publisher might have retained copies of the reviews. Unfortunately, Longman, Green & Co seems to have been subsumed into Pearson Education (which includes the Longman Imprint). It might still be worth contacting them:
Pearson Education
Edinburgh Gate,
Harlow, Essex,

Tel: 01279 623623

Alternatively, you might well find a review by browsing through 1953 copies of the Times Literary Supplement. Your county reference library might have these available on microfiche. Otherwise, you'll need to contact British Library Newspapers at Colindale. Contact details are here:

The British Library will probably be able to suggest other journals which might carry reviews of E.M.Challon's work. (I wonder why she thought it necessary to use a pseudonym when she wrote 'The Charioteer'?).

Hi thanks very much. To answer your question she came from a conservative middle class background, and she employed a pseudonym to protect her family from the social repercussions of her homosexual-themed novels.
