“It is enormously stimulating to read the book in which the author seems to swim as exhilaratingly in the classics of all literatures as in ocean, stream, or lake. One of those rare books which communicates the life of the subject and writer to the reader.”
—Stephen Spender
“A singular book . . . in which [Sprawson’s] passion for his subject is tempered by a scholarly and graceful style. Every word is of interest.
—Sunday Telegraph Magazine
“There is something heroic in Sprawson’s achievement . . . This mix of history, memoir, and treatise is erudite and affecting.”
—The Bookseller
“Fascinating,”
—Sunday Times (London)
