He contributed to various literary journals and publications, offering insights into the works of his contemporaries as well as classic literature. His critical works include "The Georgian Literary Scene" (1935) and "Authors and Friends" (1951), which reflect his deep understanding of and engagement with the literary landscape of his time.
