Product Description

Product Description

These essays cover topics as radically diverse as Charles Rennie, Mackintoch, Vaclav Hevel, The Magic Flute and Viz magazine. All have been published before, and many have already proved controversial. The author, a leading Oakeshott scholar, contributes frequently to the TLS. Witty, moving and erudite, his prose is also conspicuously graceful and clear. This collection is addressed as much to the educated general reader as to the academic specialist. It includes an otherwise almost unobtainable exchange with Sir Isaiah Berlin.

5.0 out of 5 stars bracing, delectable, 14 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Grant is one of Britain's greatest living prose stylists. This refreshing and argumentative collection of essays makes superb reading. You may not agree with what Grant says, but you have to take account of it.
