# James Agate

> James Evershed Agate was an English diarist and theatre critic between the two world wars. He took up journalism in his late twenties and was on the staff of The Manchester Guardian in 1907-1914. He later became a drama critic for The Saturday Review (1921-1923), The Sunday Times (1923-1947) and the BBC (1925-1932). The nine volumes of Agate's diaries and letters cover the British theatre of his time and non-theatrical interests such as sports, social gossip and private preoccupations with health and finances.
