In 1947, literary critic Stanley Edgar Hyman wrote a typed letter on New Yorker stationery to editor Samuel Cummings of Tomorrow magazine. Hyman, husband to New Yorker fiction writer Shirley Jackson, himself wrote for the magazine's "Talk of the Town" page and taught at Bennington College. He complained that his review of a work by Janko Lavrin (perhaps Dostoevsky: A Study or Pushkin and Russian Literature, both published in 1947) was so altered in the process of editing that he didn't want it published unless it was restored to its original sense. He wrote, "I do not believe that editing is a matter of altering the critic's critical views."
