Rezensionen

'A constantly enjoyable volume' John Carey, Sunday Times

'A triumph of skill and tact... not one dull or slack sentence' Kingsley Amis, New Statesman

'It must be technically very difficult to write a biography of more than one person at a time: it is still more difficult to capture the atmosphere of a group... Mr Carpenter has managed both things admirably' Mary Warnock, Sunday Telegraph
