7 Despite widespread acknowledgment of its influence, the political press in the twentieth century has suffered undeserved scholarly neglect. Aside from memoirs of editors and journalists and a few solid biographies such as Koss's Fleet Street Radical and Havighurst's, Alfred F.Radical Journalist: H. W. Massingham (1860–1924) (Cambridge, 1974)Google Scholar, little has been published. The History of The Times, 5 vols. (London, 1935–1952)Google Scholar, is an authoritative official history, but only the Guardian and the Observer have been comparably served by Ayerst's, DavidGuardian: Biography of a Newspaper (London, 1971)Google Scholar and by Gollin's, A. M.The Observer and J. L. Garvin, 1908–1914 (London, 1960)Google Scholar.
