[edit] Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

Perhaps some mention should be made of the political nature of some of Hartley's work. For example, "Facial Justice" (1960) being a satire of "social justice". However, such a judgement should be made by someone more knowledgable of the work of J.P. Hartley than I am. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.71.53.61 (talk) 11:54, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

  • Appropriate infobox should be added
  • Photograph should be added from a source with a free license, if available
  • Article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
  • Information on later life (after 1922) is lacking
  • Information on works should be expanded, eg genre, style, themes, critical reception
  • References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format
  • External links to useful online resources should be added if available
