Articoli correlati a A Man of Contradictions: A Life of a.L. Rowse
As historian and polemicist, Rowse was deeply involved in many of the key debates of the mid-century. He combined Marxist historiography and keen English patriotism, support for modernism with deep attachment to the traditions of the college he loved, All Souls. Above all, he was both an industrious and influential academic historian and an energetic participant in political, cultural and literary life. This engagement reached its zenith in Rowse's principled and triumphantly vindicated opposition to appeasement. This, the first and only authorised biography draws the fullest picture we will ever have of one of the dominant figures of Oxford, Cornwall and England. Doing so, he illuminates many of the bewildering changes of our century.

Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1st paperback edition of acclaimed biography published in hardback 1999. Has been read, spine and cover slightly creased, otherwise good. Dr A L Rowse, in his lifetime known as 'the greatest living Cornishman', came from a very poor background but managed to gain a place at Oxford in the 1920s and became the first working-class man to be elected a Fellow of All Souls. This fair and balanced, authorised biography is the story of a flawed but fascinating character. Codice articolo ABE-1571844500733
