James Douglas ca. 1909

James Douglas (1867–1940) was a British critic, newspaper editor and author.

Douglas edited The Star from 1908 to 1920, then the Sunday Express until 1931.[1] He was a supporter of censorship, and called for several books to be banned, most notably The Well of Loneliness.[2] He was mocked by P. R. Stephensen and Jack Lindsay in The Sink of Solitude (1928).[3]
